ly with the good, people of Vernon
church and community. While the
church building is located in McCor-
mick county, yet very large portion
of the membership reside in the
northwestern corner of old Edgefeld,
these devout and consecrated men
and women Of Edgefeld furnishing
a very substantial portion of the
church's activities.
Rev. W. P. Meadows is the pastor
of the church and he, together with
{ lily men and women of his flock,
is to be congratulated upon the
beautiful new building which has
been completed and is now used for
worship. 1t has not only been beauti-.
fully painted inside and out but
handsome carpet has been placed up
on the aisles, around the chancel and
altar. The new building is situated
midway between the old church and
the road, which is al more desirable
location. The pastor conducts SER
vices twice each month, the first and
third Sunday mornings, and he an
nounced Sunday that the new build
ing will be dedicated on the first
Sunday in August by Bishop Kilgo.
This will. be red letter day in the
history of this very old church, which
furnishes field for spiritual activi-
ty for people from three counties.
Unlike many country churches,
Vernon has Sunday school every Sun
day moning in the year and its su-
perintendent is Mr.J. J. Mayson, who
is progressive, capable and widely
beloved as a leader. Mr.. Msyson and
his corps of teachers and other CO.
workers laid their plans some time
tagosfnrs observing Child ldren's Dag the
third Sunday in June, last Sunday.
A varied and very attractive pro-
gramme was arranged and the chill
dren performed their parts highly
creditably. The entire morning was.
devoted to exercises by the children
In the afternoon the writer was in
vited to make an address.
Soon after the large congregation,
adjourned for dinner all gathered
about the long table near the old
church upon which princely feast
was spread. Everything that the most
exacting taste demanded was provid-
ed in great abundance. Hospitality
was generously dispensed in the good
old Edgefeld way. After the large
throug had finished there was much
left untouched. Certainly the good
housewives left nothing undone to
make this feature of this very pleas
ant occasion complete success.
The following is the programme;
