4 Fine Rpersf Of q splesdld Meeting

Prosperity cor Columbis Record, 12th'
Last Sunday was a red letter DAY
at Cannon Creek A. R. P. church, nFe
miles out in the country. The program
arranged for the A. R. P. synod was
followed closely. Devotional exercises
were conducted by the pastor, VINO
presided. The cradle roll was called
by Miss Lizzie Neel. which showed q
large number of names. "The Story OF
Creation" was beautifully told by Mrs.
H. l.. Parr of Newberry. Mrs. A. F.
Coleman of Chappells and Miss Car
olyn Caldwell sang a solo. Miss LOIS
White was organist. Mr.. H. H. Blease
of Newberry made a splendid address
upon Obedience" Mr.. George D.
brown, State superintendent OF mill
schools, made most excellent ad-
dress, using the Bible as his theme,
and most effectively commencing its
study to young people. The children
without exception recited or spoke
real well, and thereby rejoiced The
hearts of their pastor. The credit for
this we'll executed program is largely
due to Mss Elizabeth Neel, daush-
ter of the congregation, who is an ar-
complished teacher, and those who
faithfully assisted her in this great
work. The music and singing were
grand and was directed by Prof. Hail.
man of Newberry, who is now teach
in a class i'm music at Cannon Creek.
An offering was taken, which is to be
donated to the Newberry fund FOR
State Sunday school work. The con-
gregation was the largest that has
been seen at this old historic church
in many years, and while the building
was packed and some outside, PTovf-
dence favored the people that dav
with large degree of comfort.
Mr.. John G.. Neel. one Of the largest
hearted. most liberal laymen in the
State had the cemetery cleaned of
recently. This plot Of ground con-
tains the remains of many who once
actively served God and the State,
but most of their descendants have
either died or moved away. 1t is only
a matter of time until this cemetery
will cease to be used, there being q {
new cemetery at Cannon Creek mis-
sion church Row.

Secretary Baker congratulated the

what has been accomplished in few
weeks and called upon the graduates
to remember that they are officers OF

s'In all the training camps scattered

WOMEN'S WORK IMPORTANT
Prominent Speakers Impress Necess'-
ty of Registration and Food Econ
Omy as Measure in Great con-
flict

The State, 18th.
A talk full of plain facts and eye
opening war incidents, delivered oy
David R. Coker, chairman Of the State
Council of Defense, and a stirring ad-
dress by DR.. George B. Cromer OF
Newberry informed and inspired an
audience of women at the Baptist
Sunday school auditorium yesterday
for the registration and food pledge
task which is before them next Tues
day, the day set apart by Governor
Manning for the ful6llment by the
women of South Carolina Of the pa
triotic task which the president OF
the United States has set them.
"Is it hard for you to render this
service?" asked DR.. Cromer of his au
dience. "On June nearly 100000
Young men of this nation registered
for the patriotic service and sacrifice
which is expected of their sex. The
president and Mr.. Hoover. the food
administrator, have asked you to sign
a pledge that you will help to con-
serve food in order that the people
nav be fed and the war won, and
they have suggested certain system
of carrying out this pledge and OF
reporting upon your efforts. Is it hard
for you to do this? 1t may be In
convenient, but it is not a sacrlhce.
Living in cantonments and training
camps, serving in the filthy, noisome
trenches of France-these are sacri-
fees"
Expressing his confidence that the
| women. always more patriotic than
the men," would rise to their duty
| and opportunity, Dr.. Cromer said that
he could picture in imagination South
CaroNna's daughters standing in front
oe the yoman's monument at the
capitol and drinking inspiration from
the serene. strong countenance OF thai
woman of the Confederacy. Eloquent.
ly he impressed the importance o.
sais food economy campaign and o.
a concerted effort on the part OF the
|! women for their Job.
"What is our motive in this war?
he asked, and going briefly but e1
plicitly into the causes OF this ma
tons entrance into this great comic
he summed up with: eve are gettint
ready to fight, first in. self-defense
! first for the United States OF Amerlci
and then for civilization" And tn
audience app1auded loudly when h
added, aW,e are going to fight for
victory"

the women several incidents bearin'
direct testimony of the German pol

Flowers Hide Battles
Scars On Vimy Ridge

With the British Armies in the Field.
July 1O.-(By Mail-Vimy Ridge is
covered with flowers. A few weeks ago
watched this hill explode and blaze
like the Day of Judgment while the
Canadians with their artillery and mines
turned it into seething, boiling mound
Of fire.
Today old Lady Nature has complet-
cd her miracle. Vimy Ridge is green.
Poppies, cowslips, cornflowers, purple
thistle -mops, daisies and belated speed
wells dash the CORY battlefield with
color, while rank grass hides the small
Ell shellcraters. But one explanation is
possible for this change, for all manner
of vegetation and seed were burned to
ashes and buried many feet deep in
the mud during the storming of Vimy s
heights in April. Nature has worked
some wonder as if ashamed of the ugly
hill and wanted to cover it over and
hide it out of sight.
Vimy Ridge runs from just west of
Lens almost due south towards Arras.
Notre Dame de Lorette is great ridge
running generally east and west, the
eastern slopes ending west of Lens
where Vimy begins.
From the top of Notre Dame Lens can
be plainly seen about four miles away.
The whole flat plain to the north and
northeast, is dominated by this great
hill. 1t also dominates the south and
west. Small wonder the two ridges were
ordered by the German high command
TO be held at all costs, for SO long as
they were held the British and French
were powerless from Arras to Ypres.

Today 1 found flowers everywhere.
At times grass reached almost to my
waist. I stumbled into abandoned
trenches and comparatively recent shell
holes now hidden under vegetation.
Now and then one tripped over conceal

kicked skull accidci;tly with the toe
of one's boot, or trod on some forgot
