TIE VILLAGE CREEK MEETING.
Spiritual Results VisibIe--Cause of
Prohibition Receives n Lift

Editor Keowee Courier: The
writer has just closed very success
ful meeting with the good people Of
the Village Creek community. Rev.
l.. b. Norton, Of Walhalla. IS the
pastor Of this field. He has a noble
hearted people to work with. The
church is in it's infancy, but it is a
lusty infant. The people are very APP
pr"ciattve and deserve all the aid
they can get.
The preaching was done by Rev.
G. G. Mangum, principal Of the Long
Creek Baptist Academy. Chas. Gil
lespie, Of the Belmont section, ably
assisted in the singing. The spirit
was present in power at every ser
vice. The church was greatly
strengthened and revived spiritually.
a number were converted and be-
came followers of the Master. There
were six additions to the church by
baptism. This beautiful ordinance
was administered on Sunday morning
by the pastor to four young ladies
and two young men. The scene Of
baptism was an ideal spot in Chat
toOSa river. There, with the blue
canopy of heaven over their heads
and the beautiful forest Of nature
around them, these young people fol-
lowed their Master through the bap-
tismal water.
The meeting closed with grand
prohibition rally, at which a large
number promised God and their
friends to fight the demon rum until
it is driven from our fair State. More
than 80 pledged themselves to work
and vote for prohibition.
The churches of the Beaverdam
Association would do we'll to use
Prof. MangIm during his vacation in
their revival meetings, especially in
the rural districts. for the benefit of
the people spiritually and also OF the
, school. Prof. Mangum is a good
speaker and carries conviction in his
words. lie states that prospects for
the fall term at the academy are

The Best Gift.

Margaret Dcland, writing in Harper's
Bazaar on the subject OF "Christmas
Giving" says:
Where any uncertainty exists let us
give as token Of love or friendship
or human kindness something that.
while expressing these things, will at
least be harmless. Let it be something
that does not last, that brings the
meaning and misunderstanding that
never will know the indignity of the
top shelf OF the spare room closet!

Echo Of Sound.
An echo Is u sound reflected from 1
distant surface. Sound is produced by
waves or pulses OF the air. and whel
those waves come In contact with q
cliff or wall or other opposing surface
they are reflected like light or heat
and the returning waves cause a repe
tition Of the sound. The word echo is
Of Greek origin. According to ancient
mythology, it was the name Of a noun
tain nymph. daughter of the air and
the earth. Echo was one of .Juno's at
PENDANTS, but her loquacity displeased
Jupiter. so she was deprived Of the
power of speech by Juno and permitted
to answer only when she was spoken
to. Afterward Echo fell in love with
a beautiful youth named Narcissus and
was changed into stone. which still
retained the power Of voice. Milton
personifics her thus:
Sweet Echo. sweetest ny,nph. that liv's'
