Where Huguenots Worshlped,

America. One is that theirs is the
first church organization established
In South Carolina; and the other that
they were the first to carry the gospel
to the state outside the city of Char
lesion.
The first Huguenot church organiza.
ton was about 1892. In the GENE.
terry surrounding it lies entombed the
dust Of many who have slept there
for more than two centuries, the pio-
neers of the church. On the tombs
are engraved names that have be-
come historic in the annals of South
Carolina.
The present building was erected in
1915. 1t is stone, in Gothic style. with
ornamental masonry extending in
pointed columns above the roof. II

and still another, which was also
burned. The present building stands
today unique in history, the only

Port Royal did not have the success
that was hoped for it, and had to pc
abandoned-not before seed had been

to this day.
On landing, one Of the first things
the Huguenots did was to unite In
service of thanksgiving to God for
their safe arrival. They erected

1t was not until after the edict OF
Nantes, October, 1855, that the great
immigration Of Huguenots to South
Carolina took place. Four prominent
settlements were made-one on the
Santee river, one on the Cooper river
one at St. Johns, Berkely. and the
other in the city Of Charleston. One
of the first steps taken by each Of
these colonies was toward the estab-
lishment of church wherein they
might worship according to their
faith.

Dear M. B. Friends:
Did you ever think how may exploded
theories there are in the world! They are,
or were, in every department OF thought
or activity. II there were no exploded
theories, man, and woman also, would
prove to be infailible in SO many lines Of
pactice and principle that they would be-
come self-assured and there would be no
such advantage as learning from past
failures in any line OF business or expert
ments.
Certain results were expected from GER
tain efforts; the results proved decidedly
the opposite. The child was to be brought
up on schedule plan and taught accord
ing to a preconceived formula - the
theory failed to work. Exploded theories
may be personal or general. Personal
ones.may apply to everything, from bread
making to aw-makine, though really
those two extremes are not very remote
from each other, when we remember the
pure food law.
Applied to general matters, perhaps
more exploded theories are on record in
regard to causes and treatment Of diseases
than in any other branch OF study or
any matteriof vital importance. will not
follow this.line OF thought further. Most
Of you will testify to having few ex-
ploded theories laid up on the shelves Of
the past.
