In Our Baptist Church.

LII ouI pdpllSC ShuiChs
Rev. Mr.. Williford, of the histor-
ic First Baptist Church of Charles
ton, preached in our village Baptist
Church last Sunday morning.
After his discourse Mr.. Shell, COL
porteur of the American Bible So
ciety, made brief address to the
congregation. Mr.. Shells mission
is to distribute Bibles to those
without them, selling them at a
low price to those able to buy and
giving them to destitute persons.
He has been travelling over Edge
field county for year or more
and he finds more people within
our borders without the Good Book
than in any other county in the
State that he has yet visited. How
ever, he has as yet only visited
four other counties and there is
hope that ours is not that county
in the State most destitute of
Bibles.
