WOLF STAKE UNION MEETING.
Important Questions DisCussed-Iia-
dies Provided Well for Delegates.

The union meeting Of upper dlvis-
ion, Beaverdam Association, met
with Wolf Stake Baptist church
June $3.50. After devotional exer-
ciscs names Of delegates from vari-
ous churches were enrolled. OF the
20 churches comprising the upper di-
vision IA were represented.
The union entered upon the per-
manent organization by clecting Rev.
l.. NJ. LYDIA as chairman; w. NJ.
Brown, clerk.
then taken up as laid out by the
committee. The first query, "now
can we increase the efficiency of the
union mccting?" was discussed by
Rcvs. J. II. Clark, c. S. Blackburn,
Il. !. Henderson. NJ. G. Holland. J. II.
Farmer, and Bro. Noah Tollison.
The meeting then took recess for
one. hour for dinner, after which 1t
again assembled. Prof. Cox. OF Fur
man University. was present. and 20
minutes was given him that he
might tell the people what is being
done at Furman.
Thc second query was then taken
up t''Thr kind OF revival needed, and
how can 1t be brought abOut?") Dis
cuSscd by Rcvs. G. S. Blackburn. D..
T.. Carter and Prof. Cox.
The third query, GLOW can our
protracted meetings be made more
clIicicnt?' was discussed by RcvS. W.
NJ. Thompson, 6. S. Blackburn. II. l..
Henderson, and Bro. Noah Tolison
The fourth query was "IIow can
the converts brought into the church
be kept from drifting?" Rev. J. H.
Farmer spoke about 30 minutes on
this question and made many good
points. which, il practiccd, would
have wonderful influence for good
The meeting was then aGiou.n.,. i.
until 10 o'clock STnday morning,
when The peor.e again assembled,
and after prayer Bro. }. G.. Shockley
spoke on the fourth query.
The fifth query was "H0w can
these converts be trained for Gods
scrvice?' Rev. Il. |. Henderson
spoke on this. but as II o'clock had
| already past, and as this was one Of
the most important subjects that the
meeting had for discussion. 1t was
thought wise that it should be laid
| over an, taken up at our next union
meeting.
AS nothing further was before the
meeting, this closed the business OF
the union. after which we listened 10
an excellent sermon by Moderator
l.. NJ. LYDIA from Mark ls:l6 and
Acts SO.
This closed both the business and
devotional exercises. But this was
not all there was to the meeting.
Now came the ladies part. The good
ladies Of Wolf Stake church had in
waiting an abundant supply Of every
| thing that the hundreds Of people
could wish for. There was plenty
and to spare. This closed one of the
best union meetings it has been oul
| pleasure to attend.
