Meeting Of Mite Box Brigade.

Last Friday afternoon just before
four o'clock many children of the
Mite Box Brigade" began to gather
at the home of Mrs. Henry Bamberg
to hold their regular meeting. Twas
truly an interesting sight to watch
these small children conduct their
own meeting.
Thirty members were present, and
five new members secured.
This being the afternoon to open
the mite boxes, each child was in
his place eager to see which one had
most in his box. A prize was given
the one who had saved most pennies
and dimes. Little Mary Cleckley's s
box being opened among the last was
found to contain two dollars and
twenty cents. She received the pref
ty Testament that was given for the
prize. Robert Hodges received Sec
ond prize. His box contained one
dollar and thirty cents.
After the interesting program,
Mrs. Bamberg served a dainty and
delicious course. Am sure each one
present will look back with very ten
der recollections of the afternoon so
pleasantly spent.
And may the sacred ties which
shall soon depend on many of these
little 'tots'' of the Mite Box Brig
ade sink deep into their little hearts
now, and as each enters womanhood
and manhood perform many sacred
duties worthy to be remembered.

Lyceum Monday Night.

The Wilbur Starr Quartette will be
the next regular lyceum number.
This quartette will give a concert at
the auditorium of the Carlisle Fit
ting School on Monday evening"
March 18th.
This company consists of five ar
lists: a male quartette and Mrs.
Starr, pianist and cellist. We have
had many male quartettes here, but
possibly none with the reputation of
the Wilbur Starr. At the last ses-
sion of the International Lyceum AS
sociation the first prize was awarded
to Mr.. Starr for producing the best
original entertainment feature dur
ing the year.
Mr.. Ross Crane, who delighted a
large audience here two weeks ago,
says that Wilbur Starr has the great
est baritone voice on the lyceum plat
form.
There should be a record breaking
house to hear this famous quartette.

THE SMALLEST TRAVELLER.
Miss Julia Kits, Born in 1904 and
Still Going Strong.


The United States army can now
probably claim the worlds juvenile
travelling record by virtue of the
globe trotting of Miss Julia D. Kits,
daughter of Lieut. William P. Kits,
21st United States Infantry.
incidentally her record sheds
strong light upon the mutations of
the army officer and the frequent re-
currence of moving day." says the
Army and Navy Journal.
The child was born in Fort Lin
coin, N. D., April 20, 1904, and was
the first baby born at that post. With
in three weeks she had travelled
452 miles; within two months, 1880
miles; within six months, $3.50
miles, and within one year, 13,300
miles. In this short time the baby
had travelled from North Dakota to
Minnesota, to the Atlantic coast, to
San Francisco, and thence across the
Pacific to the PHILIPPINES.
It took her only two years more to
add 1900 miles to her record, max
ing the total distance covered in three
years, $4,000 miles year. She has
kept on going, and at present has
more than $4,000 miles to her cred
it. This wonderful tourist, who could
put to shame Phineas Fogg, Jules
Verne's travelling hero, has nearly
completed her second tour of foreign
service with the regiment.

The Ministry as a Life-Work.

Bamberg, March 10.-The Rev.
Robert S. Truesdale, pastor of Trim
ity Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, of Charleston, delivered the
fifth of the series of life-work lee
lures which are being delivered be-
fore the students of the Carlisle Fit
ting School Friday night, on The
Ministry as a Life Work." A large
audience had gathered in the school
auditorium to hear DR.. Truesdale.
who. has many friends here, and his
thrilling, inspiring exposition of the
glory of the ministry as a life work
made manifestly profound impress
sion.
The first part of Mr.. Truesdale's
lecture was devoted to presentation
of some of the work that was a min
listers and some of the essential
qualities of a successful minister.
The preacher must be man of Wis
ion. The speaker at times was elo-
quent in describing the present day
conditions, which called for men of
vision. when men are rushing on,
money-mad and pleasure-mad," de-
clared the speaker, 1--WE need men
who can see the end of all this, stand
in the midst of them and proclaim
the unsearchable riches of the Cos
pei of Christ" The speaker urged
in no uncertain terms the necessity
of men who could check the tendency
of the modern American home.
There was a time when we could
find large, happy family, with ten
children, and not single servant;
now we find many homes with ten
servants and not a single child.'
The preacher must be man who
thinks for other folk. The speaker
paid a beautiful tribute to Phillips
Brooks as the man who saved Ameri-
ca when men were waging a great
theological battle as to the Divinity
of Christ. Men would crowd into
old Trinity church," he said, "and
come away saying: Thank God that
Phillips Brooks still believes in him
and that he can save men from their
sins.'"
The true preacher sees for his peo-
pie, thinks for them and feels for
them. Mr.. Truesdale spoke of the
burden upon the heart of the true
pastor as he saw his people indulging
in questionable practices.
"Now I want to tell you why I am
in the ministry" he said, and told the
story OF his own struggle for an edu-
cation in answer to the call to the
ministry. AS he recounted the thrill
ing and even dramatic story the audi
ence realized that they were listening
to hero of the Gospel Il would not
have done it for the law" he said.
II would not have done it for medi-
cine; l would not have done it for
anything save to answer the call of
my Father to give my life to His min
istry.'
'I present to you the ministry,
young men, not as altogether attract
i've, but as altogether good"
For three days before his lecture
Mr.. Truesdale held a series of evan
gelistic services for the students.
Much interest was manifested and
doubtless much good done.
The next and last lecture of the
series will be delivered next Friday
evening, March Is, on Law as Life
Work." by former Chief Justice Ira
B. Jones.

Railroad Wrecks.

Bamberg seems to have been an
unfortunate point from a railroad
standpoint the past week. Last
Friday night the passenger train
going to Augusta ran into a
freight engine at the siding just in
front of the passenger station. The
collision was "sideswipe," and
while nobody was hurt to amount to
anything, considerable damage was
done to the two engines. The freight
engine had been doing some shifting
and was attempting to get back into
the siding and had not quite gotten
clear when the passenger engine ran
into it. AS stated, both engines were
damaged considerably, and the track
was also torn up right badly. The
passengers were delayed here until
about one o'clock Sunday morning.
Neither engine left the track, and it
was remarkable that nobody was
hurt.
Sunday morning after the track
was repaired several freight cars
jumped the track at the same point,
and again on Monday morning some
more freight cars got off right at
the same place, delaying the down
passenger train for some time.
