was very interesting to every one'
After the appointment of some
committees we were dismissed by
Rev. P. B. Lanham and adjourn
ed for dinner. That dinner can
better be imagined than described.
In abundance, variety, quality and
delightfully."- prepared, this was In
deed magnificent one and beauti-
fully served. Hot coffee and iced
tea seemed to flow from vessels that
could not be emptied.
The afternoon session was called
to order by Mrs. Mamie Tillman,
superintendent of Sunbeam hands.
Exercises by children are always
interesting and on this occasion
they all seemed to acquit themselves
with more credit than usual. A pro-
cessional of the Sunbeam bands
with their leaders marched in carry
ing banners and were seated at the
front. BE little Sunbeam" was
then splendidly sung by them. At
ter which Mrs. Tillnan gave an IL
lustrated Bible lesson which was
enjoyed equally as much by the
older ones as the children. Words
of welcome to the Sunbeams were
spoken by B. P. Talbert, Jr., of. the
Bethany band, there being none at
Clark's Hill. This was most hearth
ly responded TO by Eleanor Minis
from the EdgeGeld band. A selec-
ton by Catherine GiIcbrist and song

Edgefeld. A story of the Sunbeams

service that is in memory of those
who have worked with us but have
been promoted to that better land.
Mrs. B. 3. Jones made this report
and i. was received standing. A So

Augusta and one by Rev. i. H.
Posey was enjoyed by all. .
The time for adjournment has
come again and it is an announce
ment that supper will be served on
the grounds and every one expected
to remain. which they accepted with
out any insistance. The homes ad
jacent to the church were thrown
wide open for the use and comfort
of the guests. So free and genuine
was this hospitality that every one
felt that they were in their own
home. Supper was announced just
at sunset and again the abundant
and delightful provision was en-
joyed with the addition of hot fried
chicken, hot biscuit and again the
hot coffee and iced tea which re.
