Chester A. r. Church.
The handsome new church, the erec.
ton of which was recently completed
by the Associate Reformed denomina.
ton in Chester, was dedicated last
Sunday. Rev. C. E. Mcdonald, OF
Winnsboro, who at one time served the
church as supply, preached the dedi,
catory sermon. He chose for a text
the promise God made to Solomon in
regard to the temple on the occasion
of its dedication. Gods affection for
and delight in his house on the one
hand, and the proper attitude of his
people on the other, were the leading
truths of the sermon. The discourse,
manifestly appropriate and of most
admirable spirit, could not fail in the
accomplishment of good. The prayer
of dedication was offered by DR.. w.
NJ. Grier, and the dedicatory sentence
was solemnly pronounced by the pas.
tor, Rev. J. S. Moffatt, who also read
an historical sketch of the church from
its organization up to the present time.
Appropriate mention was made OF
those who had taken prominent part
in building this new and handsome
church. The Chester Lantern of last
Tuesday containes handsome cut OF
the new building.
Tell Them You Saw Me.
A Greenville special to the Colum'
bia State relates the following: The
willy ways of Weary Waggles are past
finding out. A sharp specimen of the
tramp genus recently perpetrated a
poetic trick on lady who resides on
one of the principal streets of Green
vile. The tramp called at the lady's
house and asked for food. The lady
replied that she would not give
him anything unless he would work
for it, and directed him to the wood
pile. He said he was too weak to
work without nourishment, so out OF
the kindness of her heart the lady
gave him something to sustain him,
and then handed him the Woodsaw
and left him to tackle the woodpile
while she went about her accustomed
duties. Sometime later she thought
it might be we'll to see how the tramp
was getting along, and she went to the
back door only to find that he had got
along better than was expected. He
was out of sight, but the saw was
stuck in a stick of wood and on it was
a note. She opened the note and this
is what she saw: "Just tell them that
you saw me; but you didn't see me
saw"
