Bro. Bussey's Twenty-Fifth
W. Anniversary.

Bro. Editor: We were very sorry
that you could not attend our cele-
bration of the 25th anniversary of
the Rev. g. W. Bussey's pastorate in
this vicinity, which took place yester-
day in the Parksville Baptist church,
and of which you were apprised.
SSome time ago some of our breth-
ren{suggested that it would be good
idea to meet together and take ret
respect of the last quarter of CEN
turS5 getting together as best we
could, the history of our church, as
we'll as some of the other churches
to which Bro. Bussey breaches.
Bro. Bussey was ordained as pas
tor the second Sunday in July, 1870,
andShas preached continuously to
some of the churches in his imme-
diate neighborhood, making an ap-
parent exception to that scripture
which says that "pophet hath hon.
or save in his own country and
among his own kim"
Yesterday, the 18th, was set apart
as the day, and the Red Hill and Red
Oak Grove churches were invited to
takespart in the celebration. The peo-
plesbegan coming in early yesterday
morning from every direction, and
at the appointed hour the Superin-
tendent of our Sunday school opened
the meeting, going through the regu-
lar Sunday school work, after which
Bro gussey asked Congressman W.
J. Ta1bert to read the minutes of the
two conferences of his church (Red
Oak Grove), one giving history of
his call to ordination, the other the
facts,E together with the presbytery
that took part in Bro. Bussey's Or
dination in July 1870.

Bishop Guerry was present at the
Episcopal church on Sunday morning

helpful and edifying sermon exem-

Bro. Bussey's talk closed very prof

in while, to look back at our fail
ings, as well as our successes, for the
lessons they teach US. Let US pray
that Bro. Bussey may be spared to
celebrate his 50th anniversary as pas

all be more jealous and earnest, for
the might cometh when no man can

Ia. j. Bell. This sketch is very val
liable one, and recounts the many vi
cissitudes through which the church
has passed in the last rs years. Of
the faces then, in 1870, who were IA
miliar and active workers in the
church only eleven remain; conse-
ouently the work has fallen chiefly
upon those who have united during
Bro. Bussey's pastorate. The nara
tive shows, that during the seventies
the church ran down spiritually very
much, but owing to the zeal OF a
faithful few, under the blessings OF
God, the church has steadily gained
strength, until now, without boast
ing, the Parksville Baptist church is
second to none in the Edgefield AS
sociation in evangclistic work.
In the afternoon, Congressman
Talbert, who was for years the eff
cient clerk of Red Oak Grove
church. A retrospective view shows
all Bro. Bussey's churches to be gain
ing in usefulness and missionary en-
terprise. In 1870 giving to mission
ary enterprise was not known. Today
all the churches give regularly every
Sabbath to some phase of evangelical
work. We had some interesting talks
from the brethren, giving touching
"reminiscences, indicating the rapid
transition through which we have
passed in almost all forms of Chris
tian work. Bro. Bussey said that he
had it in his heart to thank his breth-
rem for the consideration and for
bearance through all these years.
He said that some of his ministerial
brethren said that he ought to be
very proud of such long and unin-
terrupted' pastorate. He said that he
was not proud, but thankful, ar! it
humbled him to think Of this long
continued consideration from his
brethren under the blessing of God.
He gave us some of the advantages
and disadvantages, or drawbacks, of
long pastorate. His relation with
his people was a very tender one. Per
sons whom he married when a young
preacher, have children whom he is
called upon to marry now, every
year, and he knows every home, the
inmates of every home, their circum-
stances, their needs, and he thank
ed God that in this land, among the
people that had known him all his life
there was not one but what was open
to him. He had passed through many
trying times in 25 years, had done
many things that he was ashamed Of,
vet he thanked God for his Affections,
and the rich lessons that his mistakes
and misgivings had taught him. He
did not want to go through them
again, yet he trusted they had hum

If you have not the proper home

in order that he may assist you to
have a better one. Most of the or

And if they have not they should be
sprayed as a preventive against this

adds quite a bit to the quality of the

Letter.
Dear Advertiser:

Dear Advertiser:
l like to read under almost any
circumstances, though reading to a
strange audience is like taking new
journey of exploration and finding
something unexpected at the jour-
|ney's end. People have kind habit
that I hope they will never out grow,
of indulgently listening attentively
Ito person and telling them after
wards, more or less sincerely that the
attempt was enjoyable.
On Sunday afternoon before Christ
mas had an invitation to read in
Revere, Massachusetts,, a place to
which had never been and before a
group of boys whom I, of course, had
never seen. The hall was in Baptist
church. That reassured me- Anything
that savors of the old time religion
of the South is enough, and more
than expect for cordial reception.
I was to read Christmas story,
"The Other Wise Man" by Henry
Van Dyke. Reading is more or less
dignified art and as I saw the boys
playing and enjoying themselves be-
fore the program began, / knew that
/, would-be kind hearted, could never
be so cruel as to read long story to
them. So l told them, on the spur of
the moment, in my own words, about
the three jewels and the "Other Wise
Man" who searched for the Christ
and found Him at last at the, cross in
the hands of His enemies. Perhaps
they were thinking all the time about
the old man, Santa Claus who was
coming down their respective CHM
Ineys on a night less than two weeks
away. But nevertheless they seemed
to listen.
Then l came back to Boston past
