A Great Meeting

The singing convention of
Pickens county held a two DAYS
session at Gross Roads church
last Saturday and Sunday. The
weather was ideal. The crowd
on Sunday was the largest ever
seen at q convention In this
county. The behavior was all
most perfect, not a single thine.
SO far as we have heard, to nrar
the pleasure Of the occasion
Inc singing was the best ever
heard at the convention; indeed,
we 40 not see how it could be
much better this side the glory
President McCravey showed
himself the right man in the
right place. with skill and
kindness he guided the great
convention through without a
jar or even a hard thought on
the part Of anyone. No one had
any room to feel slighted. Prof.
McD. Weams and wife from
Tennessee, Profs. Faircloth and
Pace Of Greenville, Prof. Robert
Quinn and the Misses Quinn
and Miss Dalton of Greenville,
Prof. Smith of Pelzer, along
with ouRown local talent, made
the convention a great success.
Prof. j. FL. Williams Of Green
vile, who kindly let us have one
OF his best Estey organs to use
for the occasion, was present and
gave us an opportunity to hear
theyery best instrumental music
Gross Roads church and com
munity will be remembered by
all the people as a people Of un-
unbounded hospitality. l think
the old Virginia hospitality will
have to take a back seat after
this. How any community could
feed a crowd like that and then
have plenty left to feed more, il
more could have found room,
passed me, but it is a fact all the
same. All honor to the dear
people who SO graciously enter
tanned us during the convention.
And now let the song wave"
roll until at last, with shouting
and singing, we leave the world
of shadows and join with the
redeemed on the other shore.

Leland BOlding Dead

Sunday morning, the 10th of
MAY, the Spirit of Leland, only
son of Rev. and Mrs. Elford M.
Bolding, burst the bars of the
earthly prison of clay and wing
ed it's flight to mansions above,
to be at rest with God and loved
ones gone before. On Monday
a very large congregation of
friends and relatives assembled
at Mountain View church, where
his funeral was conducted by his
pastor, Rev. G.. r.. Abercrombie,
assisted by Prof. S. e. Garren
and Rev. d. w. Hiott. Short
tributes were paid to the de-
ceased by Messrs. d. e. Garrett,
j. G. Garrett and ~. I'll. Stewart.
Beautiful and appropriate songs
We're rendered by the church
choir. 1t was, indeed, q sad
funeral.
The young man was gradu-
ated from Six Mile academy Just
one year ago. and since then had
taught two schools and taught
them successfully. He was
planning to enter college next
fall. He was an unusually bright
young man. His teacher and
pastor testified to his high Chris
tian character and earnest de-
votion to the cause Of whatever
was right. Had he lived till the
30th day Of next November he
would have been 20 years old.
! He joined the church at Noun
tain View and was baptised by
Rev. j. e. Foster in August,
1910, and since then has been an
active, working member. He
leaves his father, mother, two
sisters and a host of relatives
and friends.
After the funeral six little
girls, carrying flowers, preceded
the casket to the grave. The
casket was borne by uncles of
I the deceased.
We cannot understand why
God calls one so young and
promising when the world needs
such men SO much, but we know
that our Heavenly Father makes
no mistakes, and whatever He
| does is right.
Farewell, Leland, God has called thee,
Called thee to His bissful home;
Called thee home to live with Jesus,
Never more again to roam.
BY and by Wen go to meet thee,
Greet thee on the peaceful shore,
Where there will be no weeping,
And sad parting comes no more. II.
| Come to the reunion, Thurs.
