The Juvenile Missionary Society held q
very interesting Easter Service In the
Methodist Church last Sunday afternoon
at s o'clock. All the Sunday Schools of
the city were invited to attend the services,
and as consequence the Church was
crowded to its utmost capacity. The ros-
trum was tastefully and beautifully deco.
rated with evergreens and flowers, and in
an arch above the pulpit thosesacred words,
sThe. Lord Is Risen,'' could be seen from
every portion of the Church. A large
cross was suspended from one side, and
above it hung model white dove. The
exercises opened with an appropriate vol
untary from the choir, which was follow
ed by recitation, "Eas:er Day Vel
come" by eight little girls. MIR. W. R.
Osborne, the Assistant perintendent of
the Sunday School, who presided
throughout the exercises, read the Script
ure lesson, which was followed by pray.
or from the pastor, Mr. Smith. After sing
ing hymn, five little girls and five little
boys stepped forward, one at time, with
little block, on which appeared word in
bold letters, and after reciting an appro
pirate sentence, deposited the blocks, one
on the other, on the pulpit, and these
word blocks formed the sentence, go ye
into all the world and preach TO every crea
ture.' This was followed by an interes-
ting but short address from the pastor,
Mr. Smith. Next on the program was
recitation, Easter Offering" by Master
Norman Prince, who did it very gracefully.
While Miss Bessie Wilson sweetly sang
a hymn, collection was taken for the
missionary cause Mr.. Osborne then
stated that few weeks preceding mite
boxes had been given out to the members
of the Juvenile Society. and prize offered
to the one who would secure the most
money. This prize, be stated, had been
won 3y Minnie Payne, the bright and in-
teresting little 10 yeagold daughter Of Mr..
J. NJ. Payne, whose box contained 1928.
The prize, book entitled "The Story of
Jesus" was then presented to Minnie.
This closed the exercises, which had been
highly enjoyed by both old and young.
1t is well known fact that Rev. A.
Coke Smith, now of Nashville, Tenn., is
one of the ablest and most eloquent min
listers South Carolina has ever produced,
but that gentleman will have to look out
for his laurels, for he has brother, Rev.
G. E. Smith, pastor of the NJ. E. Church,
in this city, who is coming right along
side OF him. This Is Mr.. Smiths fourth
year in Anderson, which is, under the
rules OF his Church, the limit of his stay
in any one pastorate, and our people, OF
every denomination, will regret to see him
leave Anderson next December. He is q
young man, close student, and for logi'
cal argument, force Of expression, clio.
quence, = practical judgment, original
thought and Geep impressiveness in bis ser
mons, he to-day stands In the trout rank
of the South Carolina Conference. Every
time we hear sermon from him, be
seems to grow deeper in handling Gods
truths. His sermon last Sunday night
based on the text from Isaiah XII: g.
''They helped every one his neighbor
and every one said to his brother, Be OIL

guilty of doing this, when it was thei
duty to take the erring friend by the hane
and give him an encouraging word. II
the course Of his sermon Mr.. Smith re-
ferred to the deplorable state OF politica
affairs in our old beloved State, and justly
rebuked the men who, for the SAFE Q
worldly policy and worldly gain, wonlt
give their support to wicked men and de
nounce Christian men for attempting u
make politics like their religion-purt

termed it, Mr.. Smith seemed to put hi
whole soul into his words, and bis re
marks were exceedingly eloquent and pa
triotic. The sermon throughout was on
that is calculated to do good, and his lin
of thought ought to be diffused more fre
ouently than it is from the pulpit. Mar
our prediction Mr.. Smith will one da
wear the title of Bishop in his Church
and will 20 down to his grave with tn
consolation OF having saved many an err
ing soul.
