tor Willis at Catccchee. They had just
closed great meeting, in which many
souls were saved; and it was good for
US to share with them the spirit of re-
vival still manifest in the service. The
writer spoke more especially to the
young converts, urging them to stand
firm in their Christian faith. Surely
the Lord is blessing Brother and Sister
Willis and their people.
On the second Sunday we visited two
of Pastor II. E. Durham's churches
Alice Mill in the morning and Smith
Grove in the afternoon. 1t was Joy
to have the pastor with us at both ser
vices. The people of Alice Mill are not
strangers to us, as we were with them
in meeting two years ago during Bro.
Hiott's pastorate. Then they wor-
shipped in a comfortable hall, but now
they worship in beautiful church
building erected by the mill company
for all the churches.
Smith Grove also has new house of
worship, and we understand that it is a
very harmonious body. This was our
first visit there, but we trust it will not
be the last
From Smith Grove we went to Pick
ems Mill church, where at the evening
hour we addressed a packed house on
''Thc Divine Sacrifice" We regret
that it was impossible for us to meet
their pastor, Brother Field, of whom we
heard many good things said. Wewere
entertained in the home Of Deacon
''Dock" Parsons.
Third Sunday was a good day. The
weather was ideal, congregations were
large and the spirit of the services
good. In the morning we were with
Pastor G. r. Abercrombie at Mountain
View. The song service was inspiring.
! 1t was real spirital meeting, and there
were many tear-dimmed eyes during the
service. In the afternoon Pastor Aber-
crombie and several other friends from
Mountain View accompanied us to Sc
coma church. BY special invitation OF
those in charge Of the music, Prof. r. M
Bolding led the choir in delightful
song service. We are just beginning t
know these good people, this being ou
second visit there. Their kindly recep
tiou Of us and their kind words cheer u
along the way. One good brother an
sister invited us to come up when tire
and just rest a week. We Gel tainl
appreciate such thoughtfulness and hop
some time we can accept their invita-
ton
The evening service was held at Pick
ems church. At the conclusion of tn
sermon on The Closed Door," and il
response to an invitation for seekers
quite a number came forward for PRAYER
While in Pickens we were entertained
by Major and Mrs. Stewart, and oul
stay with them was most pleasant.
On Friday before the fourth Sunday
we visited the home of our former pas
tor and good friend Brother ID. w.
Hiott. hardly need add that this was
greatly enjoyed. Brother Hiott was
pastor of my parents at Neal's Creek
church, Saluda association, when was
quite small
The last two appointments of the
month were at Cross Roads in the morn
ing and at Georges Creek in the after.
noon. At the former church we were
with old friends, having assisted Bro.
'Hiott there in meeting. 1t was good
to renew old associations.
Brother b. N. Glazener and wife ac-
companied us to Georges Creek. This
was our first meeting with the saints
there, but the impression made upon us
was lasting, and we hope to be with
them again in the future.
In conclusion we wish to thank all
who in any way added to the success of
the meetings and to express the prayer
that the seed sowing may grow and
bring forth some fruit, and that all
with whom we have met may some day
meet to part no more.
We thank The Sentinel for the space
it has given weekly for the announce
mcnt of the appointments.
