Protracted Meeting at Enon

The protracted meeting at
Enon closed OH last Friday
night.
Rev Il. Jeff Richardson of
Texas preached four sermons
for us to the delight Of the peo-
pie. Bro. Richardson was licen-
sed to preach at Enon 35 years
ago. He had been baptized into
the fellowship of the church one
month before by Rev. D. w.
Hiott, who was then pastor and
who is now pastor again The
older people we'll remember how
Rev. Richardson helped the pas
tor in the meeting before he was
baptized. At the request of the
pastor he conducted the service
at the pool just before he. with
MANY others were baptized.
Jeff. has developed into a real
good, sound gospel preacher.
May the Lord abundantly bless
him in his Texas home.
After Rev. Richardson left us
Rev. John II. Mann, the blind
evangelist, came and preached
for us five days. His preaching
was very much enjoyed by large
congregations day and night.
The singing was led by Prof.
John A. Durham assisted by
Mrs. Mann, wife OF the blind
preacher. We haye many good
singers at Enon and during the
meeting the singing was grand,
in fact we have never heard bet
ter and while we only had a
few members added, yet we be-
lieve it was a real revival to
many hearts. Rev. and Mrs.
Mann and Prof. Durham will
be long and gratefully remem-
bered by the pastor and people
Of Enon. q FL.

Just a word from a Pickens
friend. A friend of DR., j. l..
Bolt. [ want to tell all of the
old soldiers and widows, of DR.
Bolts kindness to his friends
and to those that are not friend
ly towards him. There was
someone who was so unkind to
say that he was not tender
hearted, and must say that they
did not know what they were
talking about. On, my friend
if you had the big and kind
heart that DR.. Bolt has in him,
we would do like him, get the
front seat too. I've Just receiv-
ed a message that DR.. Bolt was
elected. All of you friends of
his come again. We Pickens
people stand by a friend. A
friend in need is a friend indeed.
So he is the one we may depend
upon to- stand by the old and de-
serving vets and widows of the
lost cause. And | know he will
do all in his power to help them.

sermon. Text, Matthew 1916;
subject, What tn Q Church
Stands for" Tt was a great
sermon delivered with power
and made a deep impression up
on the vast congregation that
had assembled. After the SER
mon the pastor, Rev. Il. v,
Babb, read a beautiful and i'm
.pressive ceremony offering the
house to the Lord, and the dedi-
eating prayer was offered by
Rev. d. w. .Hiott. Mr.. Laban
Mauldin, the senior deacon Of
the church. gave a short account
of the work Of the building
committee. Rey. D. w. Hiott
cave a few facts in regard to
the organization and work of
the churSh, covering period of
nearly 40 years. During that
time the church has had IL pas
tors, S of whom are dead and 8
living. The dead are Rev. j.

members and out of her mem
bership has grown two churches.
viz: Easley Second and Glen
wood church and the First
church now has membership
of 100, with a flourishing Sun.
day school. 1t is wonderful
history for q church to be able
to write when you take into
consideration that the church
has no very great financial
strength. Special mention was
made of the liberality of Mr..
John M. Geer, a former mem
Der of the church. Th>N church
building is a perfect gem" of
beauty and convenience, costing
$4,000, and when the Sunday
school rooms shall be added as
at first contemplated in the plan,
no more2beautiful or convenient
church building can be found
anywhere for the money, which
will be about$12;O0O. May4the
building soon be: finished by the
addition. The present pastor,
Rev. e. V. Babb has done fine
work since coming here. This
is his second year. He is loved
and honored by all our people.
May pastor and people be more
and more united in the work of
the Lord which is the redemp-
ton Of the world. H.
