C, -On -Sunday, May 16th, tha ~Ebene. jr Baptist Church of St. Helena ;land, S. C., headed by the Rev. D. . Washington, had a singular ocasiorr~whan " she had "ordained "aaJ iacons seven men who in the esti-1 iation of the people are honest and : good report. Among these seven ien were Mr. B. .B^ Barnwell, who >r many years served the people : this community, as Demonstration gent; Mr. B. H. WashiKj^tOn, Who is igaged in the Agricultural Department Tjf - Penn School, serving as arm Manager and who is Supt. of le Sunday ScHool'o'f the xabbve "named hurch. The ojluys were men of outending character?teachers, carpen>rs,?and respectable fatm^deninnrotors?working hand in hand with ic County' Agent.v Wc-"Tverc?thrilled in having with 5 the pr.ncipal of Penn School, Miss ooley and Miss House?to witness le occasion. Miss Cooley has been oroad for nearly one year and we hero is no place like home. , We were proud to have the preslce of three prominent ministers to liciale?with our pastor, namely: Rev. . T. Frazier of Port Royal Island, S. wliu ulTfarud playeifT, Rev. A.. D. uick, 'pastor of_the Tabernacle Bapst Church of Beaufort, S. C., who iye the charge and Rev. P. 'P. Watn of Columbia, S. C., whVdeliverede sermon. No wprds can overestiate the excellency of Dr. Watson's scourse. He preached to a respon- ( e congregation and his sermon will ng be remembered. The Kbenezer. Baptist Church with e Moderator at its head ranked with ;e first in the Ashley Baptist As- J iciation, but an immense' amount ^ work is to be done to promote its slfare. There is much we can do to <51ong the life of our pastor who LK labored witli_the people .'l.'l years.! Hng^ overburdened with the absence _ hisde|ir-wife, who has recently .been-jken away by death, and the hard j work of the community and the lurch, it is hoped that the most cellent sermon of Dr. Watson and e seven choice men selected by the mrch wiy effect such an organiza-^ >n that will force the other churches,' ganizations, and even the communi- i . t .1 . . ?. .. io waicn ine sign oi t.ne times. I le hurvest is truly great, but the borers qrc few! We pray God that due time some young man will be ibued w.th the Holy GhosL_and help oulder the work with Dr. Washingn. He-appreciates the help of Dr. atson and desires.it to be possible r him to give more of his service our little Galileei~ " Continuing on the splendid day arementiopcd, a very beautiful servb was held at night, conducted by bv. Watson and presidend over "by bv. Washington. Despite the long rvice held during the day, a goodlyl imber was present to hear another tie effort by Dr. Watson. The latr part of. the service was turned to an evangelistic meeting and 10 >ung people expressed their faith the Lord and Savi6r, Jesus Christ. What a fitting ending for such a mderful day.
