large, and all who were present found
a sweet compensation for their c"m-

preach the missionary sermon on that

vi righteousness q" hiOii VIC hO!o Vic
righteous Judge shall give to all them
who love his appearing"
Rev. j. p. Mealing, one Of EdgeIield's
best loved ministers of Christ, occupi-
ed the pulpit with DR.. Gwaltney.
Brother Mealing impressed upon his
hearers the idea that though there are
few who possess DR.. Broadus' ge-
MUS, we car all be faithful and fill
the sphere in life allotted to us as God
would have US fill it, and that in the
parable of the talents, the man of one
talent was not condemned for his
possession of one talent, but because
he did not improve it." May we all
hear that welcome plaudit, "Well done
tn VI good and faithful servant; thou
hast been faithful over a few things,
will make the ruler over many things"
