~ Old Folks day has become such an
established custom with Grace Sun
day school that one now as naturally
thinks Of May without it's flowers as
without this grand day when the care
free youths in the heydey CT their
lives and men and women On whose
temples and faces Father Time has
threaded unkind ornaments, meet
around one common mercy seat, and
there unite their voices in centuries
old hymns of praise to the 'FG:ver OF
every good and perfect gift
Old Folks Day! What g. happy
thought in this age of haste and speed,
when the race seems usually to the
swiftest! May each succeeding year
bring, together beneath Grace church's
open portals host of expectant faces
Just as eager to participate in the
celebration of this occasion as were
those of yesterday.
The church wore its usual festal
array of flowers, ferns and pains Tie
darge. choir again rendered most ap-
Dropriate music in which the congre-
cation joined most heartily. The
whole occasion was so we'll planned
and executed that linguistic despera-
ton seizes us when we attempt to so
into detail concerning the component
parts for the benefit of those not so
fortunate as to meet with age and age
here yesterday. Aside from the choir
/bevy of children sang welcome most
.swsetly.
In behalf of the Sunday School MT.
RUFUS Counts, it's very active and ef-
lcient superintendent made a short
welcome address, in his usual happy
way. This was responded to by Mr..
A. H. Kohn, Columbia, the former be-
loved superintendent. He, too, spoke
most felicitously, being the orlglna-
tor of this custom, and said he at pres
ent was in position to enjoy and ap-
preciate the hearty way in which all
present had been made to feel well
come and at home.
Our friend and former pastor, Rev.
DE-. Hallman, of Spartanburg and
p Greenwood, happifed us again with
his genial presence. That he was as
glad to be among Us as we were glad
e have him was plainly evidenced by
expression, facial and verbal
snv- cnnlu1imentarv remarks,
