conducted by Rev. Neighbour.
Then there was a Baraca class
taught by Mr.. Hudson, showing his
original methods Of work, interesting
as anything ever before enacted on
that same stage.
Baraeas and Philatheas had VS.
ion of what could be accomplished in
a well organized and well taught
class, all pulling together.
The choir had another most difficult
and complicated piece Of music
vocal and instrumental -F'Awake,
Thou that S1eepest ''-stiu more
beautiful in expression than thu
"Hallelujah chorus"
AfterWard came a sermon by DR..
E. NJ. Poteat, president Of Furman
university, his subject being, "Chriss
and Young Men,"
This inimitable master Of rhetoric
and oratery; loved and respected far
and near, gave us spiritual feast
food for the soul! DR.. Poteat can
express more in a look than thous.
ands can with a 7olley Of words. /
Sunday morning every church had
their usual Sunday school hour, and
each pulpit was filed at IL o'clock by
a visiting minister. ~:.. .
In the afternoon all again assem-
bled in the opera house for prayer
and praise service, and Mr.. Hudson
made an address, telling how ''Bara-
cas- and Philatheas might be soul
winners ~.
/ Mrs. Abbott gave remedy for
"the Indifferent Philathea." A
good SUM of money was paid in and
pledged to help pay the expenses Of
pushing Baraea-Philathea work the
past year, a debt for which the State
Eofcers are held responsible.
Baraeas and Philatheas viii never
rest till the debt is paid and the re-
;! sponsibiities lifted from these good
men, who have done so much for the
great work. =. .. - r..
Our distinguished guest Of honor,
Mr.. Hudson, gave US another talk
which was listened to with deep IN
terest. He related some of his ex-
periences in Baraca work and testi-
ned to the power of faithful pray
er. There is an old saying: "Ths
nearest way to a mans heart is
through his stomach" Mr.. Hudson
often finds it necessary to minister
to mans temporal needs in order
to win his love and confdenee-then
goes after that man s soul, and sue
cess crowns his prs Jerful efforts.
He doesn't love tae game Of base
ball, but loves the players, and will
become interested and associated with
the game in order to get close TO thu
men in it. He has won Baracas in
this way, who soon became conse-
Grated Christians. .
He doesn't love "chequers" but
can become interested in the game
and win it, and at the sane time win
a soul for Christi!
The writer did not attend Sunday
evening services, which are said to
have been "best of ALL" There was
much business done, and some grand
speeches from able orators, and words
Of farewell encouragement for Ba-
racas and Philatheas.
Newberry is glad to have had the
honor of entertaining the very first
Baraca-Philathea convention, and
hopes the convention was favorably
impressed with her hospitality.
O'Neall Street Methodist church
organized a fine Philathea class Sum
day, showing that Newberry has be-
come. enthused through the work Of
the convention. Wake up, Baraeas.
If you don't "work, watch and
pray" the Philatheas will make you
"go away back and sit DOWN."
Let our motto be this: ''We do
things, and let all be done for the
honor and glory Of Christ's king
dom.'
Let US sing every day, "WeW con-
quer bye and bye''-a song which
will inspire us with renewed energy
and hope, and march son to VIC
