On Sunday, the 18th of March,
Mr.. R. 81. Minis, after serving as
clerk for about forty years of the
First Baptist church of Edgefeld,
offered his resignation. He deemed
it best to take this step on account
of advancing age and failing health.
Mr.. Orlando Sheppard, who an
nounced his resignation, spoke
words of appreciation for the years
of faithful service. Well may such
words be spoken for this clerk and
for hundreds of others. This office
of the church is one of the most
important, and requires more work
for which the worker gets neither
pay nor praise, than any other Office
in the kingdom. Baptist Courier.

Stand by Your Principles, Says
Edgefield Citizen.

Mr.. Editor: Inasmuch Jas the
liquor question is the live issue be-
fore US for the year 1919, and it is
being agitated to such an extent
that even our preachers feel called
upon to express themselves in our
secular newspapers with reference
to this evil, it seems to me the most
vital question for US to ask our
selves as Christians, and as uphold
ers of moral, civil and religious
law, is, on which side of this ques-
we are? Can we be Christians and
be in favor of the liquor traffic?
Can we be good citizens and cast
our votes for such an evil? Can
we be true parents and place this
curse in reach of our children? Can
we be true patriots and sit still and
allow this curse to be legally sold
in our midst? Can we answer this
in but one way and say a thousand
times, No? Let us ponder this
question in our hearts as right
minded citizens of Edgefeld, and
let every member of every Christian
denomination stand to our ministers
and uphold their hands, and be
guided by their precepts. If we
do this there will never be another
dispensary in Edgefeld as long as
the world stands.
