A goodly number from our
church attended the W. NJ. U. at
Gilgal. Was quite enjoyable to be
with the good people at Gilgal and
partake of such a welcome that was
extended US, and with Mrs. J. l..
Minis to make every one feel at
ease and composed in her presence.
The meeting was very helpful and
we'll attended. The meeting together
with friends is so helpful and re-
freshing especially to the represen-
tatives of the rural societies. Such a
treat to be in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. II. Hamilton. Mr.. Hamil-
ton is a son of Joe and Virginia
q g ~. nEas
gressiVe farmer and stock raiser.
He married Miss Lucy Briggs of
North Augusta, and an ideal home
maker she is. To our mind we were
impressed that reasons for the ex-
preston, The hand that rocks the
cradle rulesithe world" were demon
strated in that home by the little
children kneeling at their mothers
knee in PRAYER, afterwards fond
good night to mother and father
being beautiful illustration. Pros
perity, happiness and righteousness
reigns in that home, planting as it's
seed for an encouraging harvest in
future days.
We enjoyed also while there the
company of Miss Jennie Briggs.
Mrs. Hamilton's sister, who has
given her service to tie noble work
of suffering humanity. She now is
in training at University hospital, {,
Augusta, Ga.
Miss Maud Quattlebaum one of
Greenwood's most lovable girls has
returned home after a visit to her
uncle, Mr.. Mallie Clegg.
Miss Theresa Bunch of Norh Au-
gust has been the guest of Miss Ma
mie Bussey, being so much admired
and loved for her sweet, modest ma
ture which might we'll be beacon
light wherever she goes.
Mr.. Will Burton and family also
Messrs. Joe and Dewey McClendon,
Miss Marie Hamilton and brother
from Red Hill attended services at
our church yesterday.
Mrs. Will Parkman and Master
J. P. returned to their home from
Golfers accompanied by Mrs. James
Stevens.
1t is a real treat to be in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Press Park
man. 1t forcefully brings to mind
hospitality combined, in the homes
of those of sacred memory. Mr..
Parkman's tables being facsimile of
his fathers, Mr.. Bill Parkman. His
untiring little wife, Decide, walking
in the footsteps of her beloved
mother, Mrs. Martha Dorm, who un-
selfshly lived for her household and
those around her.
