ADJOURNED THURSDAY.
Meeting of Barnwell Association
Completes Two-Day Session.

close Thursday afternoon, after a
two-day session, which is described
as being one of the best sessions that
have ever been held by the Baptists
of Bamberg and Barnwell counties.
The attendance was large both days,
delegates from practically all the
churches being present. A large
number of local Baptists attended
the sessions of the association both
days as visitors.
After the devotional services
marking the opening of the sessions
of the association, it was decided not
to read the letters from the various
churches. These letters will be in
corporated in the minutes.
The election of officers resulted as
follows for the ensuing year: Mod
orator, Rev. o. J. Friar; vice moder-
tor, DR.. Robert Black: clerk, Rev.
Geo. P. White: treasurer, c. ]. Flick
ling.
After the appointment Of num-
Der of committees by the moderator,
the association adjourned for lunch,
which was served on the church
grounds.
Wednesday afternoon the associa-
tion decided to employ colporter
to work in the association to succeed
the Rev. w. G. Britton, deceased.
Considerable discussion resulted
from proposal from DR.. W. NJ.
Jones. of Barnwell, to change the
boundaries of the several union
meeting divisions of the association.
The association decided to allow the
present boundaries to remain. After
the assignment of delegates and
visitors to the homes of the congre-
CATION, the association adjourned un-
til Wednesday evening.
The evening session was opened
with the introduction of DR.. Miller,
of Blackville, who preached an elo-
quent and able missionary sermon.
A number of minor matters pertain
ing to the religious work of the
Ba.nwell association were taken up
and discussed after DR.. Miller's SER
mon. without reaching vote on any
matters of importance.
After the devotionals Thursday
morning, DR.. J. S. Dill, representing
the Baptist Courier, was recognized,
and spoke in behalf of the Carolina
Baptist organ. Mr.. c. B. Bobo, OF
Laurens, very prominent Southern
Baptist layman. followed DR.. Dill.
The subject of the talk by Mr.. Bobo
was the seventy-five million dollar
campaign. This subject, which is OF
very intense interest to Southern
Baptists at this time, was presented
in most Illuminating manner. The
speaker Vas very enthusiastic on the
subject and intimated rather clearly
that a Baptist who failed to con-
tribute to this campaign literally is
not only failing to avail himself of
a great privilege, but is refusing to
align himself with the greatest
movement the Baptist denomination
has ever promulgated.
After an hours recess for dinner,
the afternoon session was convened
and practically the entire afternoon
was taken up in an informal manner
in the discussion of the coming, Bap-
tist campaign. Mr.. Bobo, who was
present as the official representative
of the seventy-fve million dollar
campaign, placed himself at the dis
posal of the delegates and visitors IN
answering any questions that might
arise on the part of any committee
men or Baptist members. Many mat
ters pertaining to this mammoth un-
dertaking of the denomination were
explained by the speaker.
The committee on time and place
recommended that the association
convene next year at the usual time
with the Colston church, which was
to have entertained the body this
year. but the meeting was transferred
to Bamberg on account of great
deal of sickness in that community.
The association adopted a motion
thanking the Bamberg Baptist church
for the kind hospitality shown during
the two days, after which the session
was adjourned
