We have had shower or two re-
Gently but not enough 10 help very
much. The indications are favorable
now and we hope to soon see this old
drv, parched earth refreshed again.
We are not complaining though, as
there is always plenty to grumble
about Of things that we can help.
We should be thankful that it is no
worse.

The farmers are ''making hay while
the sun Shines as the old maxim
goes. There has been fine lot OF
food gathered during the past TWO
! weeks.
Cotton picking is in full sway in
this section and is opening very fast.
The crop is considerably off from
last year but We hope to balance Oft
in the price. We can't see anything
to prevent the price from remaining
good if the people just demand it.
The tent meeting or week OF pray
er and thanksgiving to God which IS
much more appropriate to calllt, which
I announced in my last letter to be
held near Bachman Chapel church
was held above Mr.. c. L. Wilson's
near the forks OF the roads ana was
closed on last Sunday night.
The meeting was opened by Rev.
joseph L. Hodges on Saturday night,
the 18th inst, in the absence OF Rev.
| ". Ray Anderson, who, was conduct
ing a meeting in Lancaster county at
that time. This meeting closed though
and he joined Rev. Hodges on Mon
dav evening following and made an
effort to assist him in the meeting,
but was suffering with fever and had
been for several days and he was ov-
empowered and forcd to 60 to bed on
Tuesday in the care Of Mrs. Thomas
son. who showed the kindest care
Christian lady could to him during
his illness.
The meeting was carried on by Rev.
Hodges, who preached twice each day
at and s p. m.
| He set forth the mighty gospel
truth in the fullness of its power and
! simplicity until Friday when he was
called away 10 take charge of another
meeting, which was previously ar
ranged at Leesville. S. {.
After Rev. Hodges left Rev. An
| derson proceeded to finish the meeting
under very trying circumstances. sui
| ferino with fever almost every sermon
he preached.
! The interest in the meeting seemed
to increase more and more each day as
there were larger crowds present.
People came from nearly every sec
tion Of the county. Not curiosity seek
ers. but his personal friends. who had
heard these brethren preach before,
attending their revival meetings at
different other places.
The time is fast approaching when
our professed Christians are going to
cease pointing the finger OF hatred
and scorn at these dear brethren who
are laboring 50 faithfully and earnest
" in the interest Of lost souls.
Thank God that the minds Of the
people are becoming more and more
unfolded and we hope it 'won't be
long until this up-to-date stylish kind
of religion that is being practlced
throughout our Christian land will
be thing Of the past and that our
, lives will show how and where we
stand. Son.
