The Pickens sentinel. (Pickens, S.C.) 1911-2016, 1912-10-31

Here is a remarkable picture be-
cause of what it itrepresents. See
an aged gentleman sitting be-
fore nine boys, about eight to
ten years old. Heis the Sunday
school teacher sitting with the
boys under the trees near lay
lors Baptist church. The full
class is fourteen. This vener-
able m IN of God has been teach
ing similar class at this place
every Sunday for more than
thirty years. He is now in his
his ninetieth year, born June.
1928. What a beautiful, signi-
fcant, thrilling sight is he in
the presence of the boys sitting
on a long bench. And this for
nearly a third of a century,
every Lords day when the
weather permits Hundreds OF
boys have thus through tho
years come under his elevating,
inspiring influence and instruc-
ton. From these some eight
young men have gone into the
Baptist ministry. The writer,
who has been preaching for the
church more than a year, close
ly associated with Brother Tay-
lor, has heard him say Of one or
another of these men: lie
went from my bench. " Yet
one should never imagine there
was any spirit of egotism or
boasting. Not at all, for he is
an earnest, humble, faithful, Yet
cheerful, child of God, setting
before the world an example of
faith and love worthy Of imita-
ton.
On Sunday, the 29th of Sep
tember, 1912, while confined to
the room unable to go to lis
class. the old gentleman sent for
them to come to his room that
he might talk to and pray with
them. As his custom was be
asked them to repeat with him
his word Of prayer. At the close
he saw tears in the eyes of some.
Speaking oft to his pastor ne
said: When I see this, | know
something good is going on.
