hearty hand shaking with you at the
Orangeburg Missionary Union, but
were disappointed. We will give
you few dots for your paper. Re
cciving an appointment from the
Antioch Church to repre- :cnthcrin til c
Union, last Thursday morning, after
bidding adicu to the loved ones at
home, we started out to join our
venerable Bro. Prickett who kindly
offered us seat Here we refreshed
ourselves for the journey. This be
ing over, we hitchei up "old Brandy"
to the buggy and made for the scene
of action. We made Congaree
Church about 10 o'clock on Friday.
Here we met the rest of our delcga,
ton, Rev. Stoudcnmirc, Bro. j. II.
Fielder, and his kind lady. The
Union convened II o'clock a.. NJ.
The Introductory sermon was preach,
ed by Rev. T.. II. Graves. The
preacher gave us clear view Of our
duty to work for the Master. The
former Clerk enrolled the delegates,
and seven churches were found to be
represented by full delegations. Rev.
j. Nj. llurlong WAS elected Moderator
and Bro. j II. Fielder Clerk. Let
tcrs from the different churches were
read by Brcthelen FclIer and NJ. l..
Hurlong. All but one gave glowing
accounts Of revival meetings. We
felt ms if we could see the missionary
star of our religious horizon rising
with all Of her beauty AMI iulnas.
After this Bro. j. II. Fielder arose
and delineatcd the life and services of
that man Of God, Rev. =. 4. Buyck
enrnptul;ng the large audience is he

aud wound UP asking Il committee to
be appointed to prepare Il just tribute
to his memory to be recorded among
the minutes Of the body. We then
adjourned TO the call ot'lhe moderator.
a goodly number assembled at night
to lear Rev. j. ID. Prickctt. He
preached to large and attentive
congregation. We heard many say
this was one Of the best sermons they
ever heard from the venerable
brother.
Saturday the Union was called to
order by the moderator ut 8 o'clock
a. NJ. After an hour spent in pray
er led by Rev. j. ID. Prickett, we pro-
cccdcd to business. Nearly all ofthe
II utine business was completed by
II O'Clock, when the Union gave way
for preaching. Rev. +. II. Graves
continued his thoughts ofycstcr,lay in
warm sermon OH "Christian Dlty."
Then followed Bro. j. II. Felder in
the discussion on How church
should deal with delinquent ,n.n
bcrs." We wish the TINES had been
there to have followed the speaker
through his thoughts and give them
TO the public. They were qnes,cd,
but the brother refused to have them
published. You know the good
brother is long winded, but he kept
the large audience cnchainel al
through One brother who had b zen
delinquent over II months made
solemn resolve never to be one again
while he lived. Brethren j. A. /.
Human, T.. II. Graves, j ID. Prick
cit aud VIM. Gaincy joined in the
discussion and made interesting al
dresses. Eternity alone will reveal
the good that has been done the Con-
garce Church by this discussion. At
late hour in the afternoon the Union
adjourned to the call Of the Moder-
ator. Rev. j. A. HUMAN preached
at night with much power to large
and attentive congregation.
Sunday the much beloved pastor

ed during tho meeting that 8 O'Clock
A. NJ, would be appropriated to hap
