and the Fort Mill church for seven
years, and he certainly planned and
wrought well. Before leaving he had
the JOY of seeing both churches move
up to and secure pastors for full
time.
The Flint Hill church has just conn
pleted one of the best pastoriums to-.
be found in the State. This Broth
er Hair saw to before leaving here.
1t is indeed a JOY to follow such q
man in the pastorate. 1t is a greater
10y to serve a church such as this
one. The condition Of things here
not only speak we'll for Brother Hair
and his predecessors, but they speak
better things till for the people; for.
after all, if the pastor does not have
the sympathy, prayers and coopera-
tion of the church he can but fail in
his efforts for development. If the
people have a mind to work, then the
pastors task IS comparatively an
easy one. The people have not ceas-
ed to show US much kindness since
we came here. Our joy has not been
unmixed with sorrow. On last Sun
day, the 3rd inst, large crowd met
at the church to pay the last sad rite
and tribute of respect to the memory
of little Erline, the infant and only
child of Brother and Sister H. 81.
Windell. Erline was much loved by
all who knew her, and it was indeed
hard to give her up. We most heart
ily commend the sorrowing ones to
God and the word of his grace.

Tent Meetings Well Attended.

In spite of the rainy weather the
past week, many attended the meet
ings at the big tent. Half of the
week was given over to the discus
sion of the change of the Sabbath
from the seventh day of the week to
the first. Mr.. Haynes made it clear
from the Scriptures that there is no
authority given to any person or COL
lection of persons in or out OF the
church to alter the law of the Sab
bath. Hence the conclusion was
drawn that the Christian Sabbath,
the Sabbath of the new covenant,
is the same as the Sabbath of the old
testament. 1t was clearly shown
that the foundation of Sunday sacred
ness rests upon the authority of the
Roman church, and not in any sense
upon the statements of God, Christ.
angles, apostles, or inspired men.
1t is understood, however, that the
new testament, in several places,
mentions the first day of the week.
The sacredness of this day must be
found in these texts or it would seem
that there is absolutely no Bible
proof for the Sunday Sabbath, and
it therefore becomes an invention
af III. onocfo&o church
Mr.. Haynes will consider every
text in the new testament on Sunday
night, which might be used to estab-
lish first day sacredness. The sub
jects of the week will be: Sunday

S. C. and Southeast Georgia is about
$50 the population of the U. S.,

the honor Of your presence at the
marriage of their sister, Josephine

on Wednesday evening, the eigh-

Some sage has declared, "He that
bloweth not his own horn, the same
shall not be blown" l don't think
that is true, however, in every case.
1 want to give another's horn a few
blasts now. l have blown my own
so much that it is about worn out and
it might be good thing for the read
ers of the Courier if a few more
horns would get out of "whack."
First of all must say that it was
no easy thing for us to leave the
good people and the work on the Ehr-
hardt field. Some of the salt of the
earth is to be found down there. We
cannot soon forget the kindness Of the
people during our sojourn with them.
Not only the Baptist, but members
of the other denominations showed
us no little kindness. l am sure that
Brother Owing and his "better half"
will likewise have and enjoy the un-
stinted kindness of those good people.
Ehrhardt is a good place to live and
it was indeed hard for us to get the
consent of our mind to leave there.
We felt after much prayer that it
was our duty to come this way; so
we are now comfortably located in
the Flint Hill pastorium as the sue
cessor to Bro. S. P. Hair. Until the
parsonage was ready for occupancy
we were domiciled in the old and new
school houses located between the
church and parsonage. We never had
and enjoyed a more hearty welcome
anywhere than the one given us here.
Bro. S. P. Hair came over to attend
the Sunday-school Convention at
Rock Hill and while there learned
what awaited us on our arrival here.
So he came on to participate in and
enjoy the occasion with US. There
were between seventy-fve and one
hundred people present to receive and
welcome us. The ladies had table
quite the length of the old school
building heavily laden with the best
of viands.
Brother Hair in his own inimitable
way acted as toastmaster. He first
called on Capt. w. w. Boyce, of the
A. R. P. church, who extended to us
most hearty welcome to the commun-
ity. Bro. J. G.. Smith, the very ef-
ficient superintendent of the Flint
Hill Sunday-school, also bade us well
come. The POSTMASTER then ex-
tended a welcome to us in behalf OF
the church.
The writer then tried in his weak
wav to express in behalf of his family
and self our gratitude to God and
the people for their kindness and the
whole-hearted welcome given us. l
humbly trust that we may be able to
prove ourselves worthy OF such kind
ness and also measure up to the ex-
pectation of the people IN the service
Of God.
The Flint Hill church has one of
the best houses of worship to be
found anywhere in the State outside
of the towns and cities, and is like
wise one of the best organized church
es in the State. The entire church
membership with but few excep-
tions) is a vertitable beehive OF
workers. Their financial system IS
one of the best l have ever known.
