CHURCH NOTES
METHODIST PROTESTANT
Jno. w, Quick, Pastor

Last Sunday we reorganized
Sunday school at Rose Hill.
Brother ]. A. Turner was re-
elected Superintendent. He has
served in this capacity for twen-
ty four years and we will say
without fear of contradiction
that no better superintendent has
ever served any school. All old
officers and teachers were re
elected. They all have given
efficient service and we feel that
we could not have done better
than retain them as they are all
we'll trained for their work. Be
fore beginning the recitation of
the lesson the superintendent
asked all who would try to bring
someone 10 Christ this year to
hold up their hands. and it was
inspiring 10 see so many hands
go up. May the Lord help each
OF us to keep our VOW.
Remember our union prayer
service at the Presbyterian
church tonight at 7 o'clock.
Our first quarterly conference
tor the year will be held at Rose
Hill tomorrow, Thursday, at )
p. m. A full attendance is re-
quested.
Our appointment for next
Sunday will be at Pageland at
III o'clock. Communion service
after preaching. All denomina-
tlons invited to be with us. We
are always glad to have you
worship with us.

BAPTIST, J.. NJ. Sullivan. Pastor.
Last Friday afternoon the Wo
mans Missionary Society pulled
off the best and completest sur
prise we have ever had played
on us.
1t was on this wise: One after
noon we were asked by one of
the members if we would be at
home Friday afternoon? of
course we thought that they
were coming 10 arrange their
program for the next quarterly
meeting of the Pageland Divi-
sion to be held with Providence
church in the near future, and
could NOT do otherwise than
.sa:allk..Aissana1nnaina,a4

At4 o'clock they had not ar
rived. Mrs. Sullivan having
company, we asked to be excus-
ed that we might 60 to our study
saying as we departed to call
when the ladies arrived. Lo
and behold, before we had hard
ly arranged for real work, there
was cry made, behold, mot
the bridegroom cometh-but the
children. We peeped out at the
window and wondered what it
meant. Soon we saw that they
were leaving the sidewalk and
headed for the front porch. Well
the only thing we knew to do
was toIgo down and meet them.
To say the least, we were so
overjoyed that we almost did
threaten TO get among them and
kiss everyone of their smiling
faces. But we decided that it
would be too trying an ordeal for
their little constitutions mas
much as they had been so ex-
ceeding kind to us. There we
stood looking and rejoicing as
they unloaded the cart and thei
little hands and arms of the
good things they had brought.
Really II was such goodly
sight until our boy could not
keep from eXclaiming, Hard

should be planted in cotton,

neutral country should find
farming a paying industry.

MOT YET REACHED THAT STAGE

The New York World is, take it
one day with another, the wisest
and ablest paper In the United States
on its editorial page. There is no
stylist on it like Henry Watterson
to illuminate its columns with the
revolving flashlights Of genius, al
ways fascinating, but often mis-
leading; but there is clear, compre
hensive, sound judgment without
rancor or Mysteries, or the sacrifice
Of sane, temperate thought to mere
phrase making, and reaching for
literary effect "a weakness Uncle
Henry is not above) and on the
great questions now in the public
mind the World is really great
leader and has a great following.
There is no fine writing, no sub
tie, ingenious reasoning, no venting
OF prejudice or temper in the fol
lowing conclusion of that paper as
to what this country should do with
Mexico, but it is the very essence of
common sense and high statesman =
ship, and in grateful contrast with
the shriekings OF the intervention
lists:
President Wilson has made every
effort short Of war to end the de-
plorable conditions in Mexico, and
he has even made war in a way
Thus far all his hopes have been
frustrated by the folly of Mexicans.
The president would undoubtedly be
more popular at home If he had been
less patient. President Mckinley
, was abused like a pickpocket be
cause he sought to avoid war with
Spain, and recovered his popularity
only after war became inevitable.
1t is as easy to criticize Mr.. VIII
sons temporizing policy as it was to
criticize Mr.. McKinley's temporiz :
ing policy. but one thing ought to
be plain to every sensible citizen.
Intervention in Mexico would be a
calamity to the United States, and is
not stoi be undertaken except as a
last desperate resort. Bad as the
situation may be. we have not yet
reached that stage.
