Mrs. Thos. Lamb spoke of the de-
velopment of Sunbeam officers.
Miss Helen Dorm read a paper on
Where does the Sunbeam money
go?" written by Miss Ruby Wat
son who was unable to be pres

How Do South Carolina Sunbeams
stand in the VI. NJ. U. of the South
ern Baptist convention, was ex-
planned and read from a large chart
by Miss Ouida Pattisop. Edwin
Folk gave splendid selection on
African missions, distinguishing
himself by his distinct interpreta-
tion of his subject.
Elizabeth Brunson, the pretty lit
tie daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles 0. Brunson Of Antioch,
gave a very appropriate selection in
a clear and distinct voice.
A little play called Mother
Goose and Her Band as Mission
Workers. in charge of Mrs. Pres
colt Lyon, Miss Leola Walker
and Mrs. Donald Smith was inter-
estingly given BY the Antioch Sun
beam society. If we had all the
names we would give them, but it
was very good indeed, and showed
that even the many children of
Mother Goose are being transform
ed into mission workers. Miss May
Roper read we'll prepared paper
on "Where Does the R. A. Money
Co.." What was considered one of
the best and most attractive num-
bers of the days programme was a
paper by Mrs. w. S. Middleton of
Clark's Hill on Wearing the Hell
met of Salvation" This was most
to the Royal Am bassa-
dor work, and did good to all who
heard it. The meeting was dismiss
ed with prayer by Mrs. Mamie
Walker of Modoc.
Wednesday Afternoon.
The lunch at the noon of the Sec
ond day was fully as abundant and
q 9l..fig figh h1ffui as onsss dag. and
was as mach enjoyed. Ice tea on
both days was very refreshing for
the thirsty multitudes. The col
lection for expense fund was ten
dollars. Immediately after partak-
ing of the midday luncheon, all
the societies began to gather under
their respective banners in order to
begin the professional. 1t was
beautiful to see these long lines of
christian women arrayed in white
marching under the name of their
society and so many of each society
present to do honor to their name
and to the name of Christ whom
they serve. While it was beauti-
full, there were such crowds in the
church and on the outside that it
was impossible 10 carry ont the
program as originally intended.
Another year we hope to use the
banners in a very effective way at
Bethany at the 10th anniversary of
our associational organization.
As soon as all the Sunbeam socie-
ties Young Woman's Auxilia-
ries and Woman's societies had
marched into the church and
were seated, the one hundredth
psalm was repeated in concert, ind
it was very inspiring to hear SO many
voices who had made this part of
themselves by memorizing it.
A sketch of Adoniram Judson was
given by Miss Hortensia Woodson,
very creditably spoken, and heard
by the large audience. How Firm
a Foundation" was sung and an
account of twenty-five years of
Organized Missionary Work of
Woman's Missionary Union" was
very interestingly given by Mrs.
F. r. Fizer.
Mrs. Shannonhouse and Miss
Eliza Minis sang the beautiful duett
specially arranged for these jubi-
late services, "Sing, ye women of
the Southland" An original poem
the composition of John Lake our
missionary was read by Miss Flor
ence Peak, and few words Of ex-
planation in reference to the His
tory of Woman's mission societies
in Edgeield association" were said
by Mrs. j. L. Minis.
''The Jubilate Hymn" was sung
as solo by Mrs. Royal Shannon
house. An exercise by the Y. w.
A. called Children of Light" in
the costumes of different countries
was much enjoyed.
