ANNUAL CELEBRATION.
Business Mems Bible Class Observes
Anniversary.

Since the organization several
| years ago of the Business Mems BIZ
BILE class of Trinity Methodist church,
it's annual anniversary celebrations
have been occasions to be looked for
ward to, as they are replete' with in
terest and enthusiasm. This year
was not different in this respect from
former occasions. The celebration
began Sunday morning at the Meth
odist church, when the class had as
its speaker DR.. Henry Nelson Sny-
der, man who is known here as
well as most of our residents, and
who is loved and honored by every
body of all denominations. DR.. Sny-,
der has never missed being present
! at an anniversary of the class since
Its organization.
At eleven O'Clock Sunday morning
the congregations of all the churches
of the city assembled at Trinity
church to hear DR.. Snyder. The BIZ
| BILE class of the Baptist church had
an especial invitation and attended in
a body, for DR.. Snyder's address was
to men in particular, though equally
as we'll enjoyed by the ladies and
children. Special music added much
to the service.
DR.. Snyder took as his subject
-Four Things Men Live by which
is the title of a well known book.
The four things referred to were
work, worship, love and play. Unless
one were stenographer and tran
scribed his address verbatim, it
would not be possible to convey a
proper impression Of the speakers
address on this occasion. Suffice it
to say that it was typical Snyder
address. Those who have ever
heard him know what that means.
Pathos and humor and sound rea-
soning were all blended together in
to a delightful talk, thoroughly en-
joyed, and listened to with rapt at
tention, the audience being held as
only a magnetic speaker can hold the
interest of people.
Sunday night at the Baptist church
| the three churches of the city again
joined in a union service, DR.. Sny-
| der again being the speaker. His
subject in the evening was Spiritual
Adventures, and if it is ever posi-
BILE for one of DR.. Snyder's talks to-
be better than another, this was lis
tened to with even more rapt atten-
tion that his morning address. The
speaker dealt largely with the many
phases of the great war, and shed
much illumination upon this very
engrossing topic. He emphasized
that the war is bringing to the sur
face many latent possibilities Of hu-
man nature At both services Sun !
day the houses were packed to over
flowing with eager listeners.
Monday night the annual banquet
| of the class was held at Guilds hall,
but the elaborate. banquets of for
mer occasions we're reduced to a sim
pie, but very delightful, oyster sup
Per. The class did not consider this
the time to serve an elegant dinner,
when people are being called upon on
every side to sacrifice for the boys
at the front.
Mr.. J. G. Guilds was toastmaster
at the supper Monday night. Toasts
were responded to by Mr.. w. c. Ow-
en-, Sunday school field secretary:
Rev. A. J. Cauthen, presiding elder
of the Orangeburg district; Rev. 3.
o. Watson, who is in charge of con-
ference work at Camp Jackson; DR.. !.
H, N. Snyder, president of Wofford
college; and Rev. R. H. Jones, pas
tor of Trinity Methodist church.
Grape fruit, stewed oyster and
fried oyesters were served, and q
most delightful evening was spent.
The responses to the various toasts
wer listened to with much enthus-
tasm. The different phases of the
class work were touched upon, and
various patriotic utterances were
made, all of which touched respon-
sive chord among those present, and
the speakers were frequently inter-
rupted by applause.
