would like to say great deal about this
convention but space admoDishes me TO be
brief. l must say, however, that this meet
ing was decided success. and through
which nice sum of money will find its way
into mission fields. This Sunday School
Convention, rs II is organized. is far supe.
rior to the old union meeting, and is doing
more for missions, etc., than I'll the other
churches.
mon from III Timothy, 4: 2; aud on Satur-
day night Rev. C. r. Willeford preached
from Luke %: Gl.
On Sunday morning q large congregation
assembled and listened to interesting ad-
dresses from Rev. C. II. Wiileforj, Hon. j.
r. Jefferies and Prof. A. 8. Towas, Of tho
Greenville Female College.
Rev. J. L. COving,on then preached tho
dedcatory sermon-as Philippi is only
yearling church, and this was the day set
apart 10 dedicate it--from Cor. 3: o. The
congregation was more than the Church
could hold, and Rev. c. R. Willeford
preached to as msny "a the grove rs there
were in the Church.
Philippi is one Of tho neatest and most ut
tractive churches, both inside and out, in
the county, and the members arc justly
proud of it, for only n little more than
year ago q Church building was not known
here. Phiiippi has the most hospitable and
generous people TO sustain it and it stands q
proud monument to their jealous love for
Christ and devotion to His cause.
There was nothing left undono by the
congregation and good people in the vicinity
| Of Phillippi whereby ones happiness could
| be increased, and l will take the liberty TO
extend the very greatest thanks to them for
| the same.
There was the finest galaxy of beauty,
grace and elegance to adorn the grounds, as
almost TO still the throb of a poor. fellow
heart, or to make it jump clear out of one
bosom. T.. WI.
