ST. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran
,<r,,rch Of Newberry county, in which
the eighty-first annual meeting OF the
synod will begin its sessions on Weo-
nesday, November 8, is one Of the Old
est congregations in the state. At
meeting of synod on the 10TH OF oc-
tober, 1914, at Organ church, Rowan
county, North Carolina, among other
congregations received in connection
with synod was one from New0erry
county (then called distrlct), South
Carolina, of which Michael Rckard'
Peter Rickard, Andrew Wicker and
Martin Kinard were elders. This
church, is believed to have been st.
Pau1's. St. Paul's church was ded1-
Gated on the third Sunday in June,
1870, by Rev. Messrs. Michael Raucf1
and John C. Schwartz. But church
had been in existence here for eighty
wears or more. 1t was new church
building dedicated in 1880.
The church has been served by the
following pasters:~ Revs. Wallern,
William Berly, John c. Hope, }. y.
Stingley, J. B. Anthony, J. P. Margart,
D. NJ. Blackwe1der and the present
pastor, Rev. J. A. Sigh.
Rev. Sligh's Pastorate.
Pastor Sigh has served the church
continuously since the second Sunday
in November, 1866, when he was III
stalled, succeeding Rev. Blackwelder.
The bare statement of such an un-
usual record carries its own lesson
and commentator. Forty years OF
active, aggressive work among the
same people-some of his most &C
tive and prominent members now are
the children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren of the fathers in Israel
when he assumed charge OF the
church and it's work. And now when
he is just passing the seventeen mile
stone in his eventful life-havlng been
born December II, 1S35-he can look
back to one of the most active and re-
rnarhable records in the history OF
the Lutheran church in South Caro-
lima Not only as a minister have MS
life and work been remarkable and
memorable, but as citizen in the dis
charge of many varied and complex
duties, he has been a power IN the
councils of the county and state and
has left his mark. Mr.. Sigh is moth

Dog days are a trial to the beast of burden as well as to the man who loads and drives. Man. being philos- opher. can take comfort in the thought that the thermometer will not stay for ever in the nineties. If he owns or drives a horse he can well afford to give the beast the benefit of the pros pect by reserving the whip and divid- ing the load. A shelter cap or a sponge costs but little and is as com forting to the horse as it would be to a man under like condition. Of course hauling mustbe done whatever the tenn perature. But a wise man knows it is not only cruel, but unbusiness-like. to give a horse as much work to do in August as in October. Hard work in dog days shortens the life of the horse, so it is another case of the more haste the less speed" The reck- oning will have to be paid at the end. Where the load cannot be cut in two or another horse put in as a relay the days work can be shortened and the animal made comfortable for the night. Then he will tackle his end of the next days tussle with fresh strength and hope
