with the value of the house.
school," Mr.. Owen briefly but effec-
lively outlined the Importance of the
Bible class work. His address was
brimming over with humor and eu-
thusiasm.
Rev. A. J. Cauthen was to have
been the next speaker. and was to
have responded to the toast "The
Glass and the Church," but to the
genuine regret of every one, Mr..
! Cauthen was suffering from a sore
throat and could not speak. He did
express in a few words his apprecia-
ton of the class's work and extended
his best wishes to all it's efforts.
"The Glass and the Churches" was
the next toast. Rev. Jonas Barclay,
pastor of the Presbyterian church, in
a broad-minded way pointed out that,
though we have different denomina-
tions of churches, we are all brothers
in Christ and are all striving toward
one end, our only difference laying
in the methods.
MIR. A. B. Utsey demonstrated his
genuine worth and displayed his true
enthusiasm in the work in his toast,
THE Class for .Bamberg."
Rev. F. H. Shuler, conference COM
missioner Of education, was present
and responded to the toast 1.-THE
Glass and Our Educational Institu-
tions.' Briefly he told of the efforts
| of South Carolina Methodism to raise
| 100000 for the cause of Christian
| education. He demonstrated the fact
that the State of South Carolina spent
| two dollars for every one that the
church spent and accomplished the
same result-that the church college
could educate a man for half the
amount required by the State. Mr..
Shuler is carrying on a great work
and bids fair to accomplish what
many have failed in trying.
The last speaker of the evening
was DR.. H. N. Snyder, president of
Woffoyd college. His subject, "The
Class as the Organized Good Samari-
tan," was, needless to say, skilfully
handled. In his usual charming way,
DR.. Snyder delivered his address,
pointing out the work of the organiz-
ed Bible class. DR.. Snyder was at
his best and his address was appre-
ciated to the utmost.
At the conclusion of his talk, DR..
Snyder presented DR.. Watson with a
gift from the members Of the class.
The gift was a beautiful watch
chain. Dr. Watson expressed his
deep appreciation to the class in a
few we'll chosen words.
AS an impromptu speaker, Mr.. A.
NJ. Brabham was next introduced.
Mr.. Brabham expressed his surprise
at being called upon, but showed that
he was equal to any emergency. He
thanked the class for the honor it
had given him in electing him presi-
dent and promised, that with the CO.
operation of the members, he intend
ed giving the best that was in him
to the york.
The meeting was then declared
| adjourned by the toastmaster.
