A Great Day at Old Pleasant HILL

On the third Sunday in this month,
(Aug.,) an all-day meeting was held
at Pleasant Hill near Montpelier, KY.
1t was great day for several reasons.
First, because Writes Williams, of
Saltwater, Okla, was there and
preached morning and afternoon.
Then the good people of the community
had provided rountiful dinner and
served it to a large crowd of people
that had come together from all parts
of the surrounding coudtry. Then
the preacher who was born and reared
in that community preached two fine
sermons 1t had been about seven or
eight years since Brother Williams
visited that community. And the
old neighbors and kinspeople were
anxious to see and him hear preach.
His ministry has been remarkable in
some respects. He left the Bible Col
lege at Lexington in 1897, after four
years course, and accepted the pasto-
rate Of the church at Saltwater, Okla.
He took charge of that church in 1897,
and has had charge of it continually
ever since, making IS years alto
gether. He has never had the care OF
any other church. At that time it
was asmall congregation, poorly housed
and unorganized.
During his Is years service there the
house has been rebuilt once and en-
larged, and now they are planning to
build new house large enough to
accommodate a Bible School of SOC
enrolled and congregation of be-
tween four and five hundred mem.
bers.
1t is certainly a great joy to one
who has been away from the place oil
his childhood a number of years anC
come back again see the faces of rela
tives and friends, and mingle with
those he has known and loved in the
long ago. And to visit the Bible
School where he attended when q
small boy, and the old church where
in early youth he surrendered his life
to God, and where father and mother
had their Membership and the old grave
yard where the remains of father anC
many other relatives lie sleeping peace
fully, awaiting the resurrection day
His neither, Mrs. Helena Williams
who resides at this place, two sisters
one brother and one aunt, the writer
and Mrs. Eliza Conover, with many
other relatives and friends were pres
ent to enjoy the day. A splendid so
cial and spiritual fellowship was en-
joyed by all the people present. L
was great joy and benediction TO
, the writer who had the pleasure to b,
there. He was the Superintendent
of the Bible School there for Is year
IN his young manhood.
1t is very gratifying to know tina
from that Bible School and church
five ministers have gone forth to con
tribute the best in them to promot'
} and enlarge the Kingdom of God, a
established on the Day of Pentecost
1t was there the writer made his frs
effort to preach the gospel Of Christ

A MENACE TO
THE PUBLIC
Travel Along Public Highway Made
Unsafe by Drunken Rowdies. \
Gasoline and Booze is a
Dangerous Mixture.

Complaints are constantly reaching
us of the reckless manner half drunk
en- automobile drivers are speeding
up and down the highways of the
county. The reckless driving is often
accompanied by loud cursing and bois-
terous talk. 1t is positively danger
Gus for horse and buggy to travel
the highways and particularly on Sun
days. Recently at midnight on Sat
urday night car stopped in Jones'
vile and made night hideous with foul
oaths and boisterous shouts for half
an hour. And recently an automobile
filled with drunken madmen passed a
house in the country, one of them
threw bottle he had just empt
led at little girl who was playing
in the walk in front of the house.
The gentlemen who gave us this in
formation says further: "Its almost
an every day occurrence for men in
autos to pass cursing along the high
way" From many quarters these
complaints have reached us, and some
thing should be done to put stop to
such conditions. Gasoline and whis-
key makes a dangerous mixture.
