CHRISTMAS TREE AND SERVICE
For Children ut the Lutheran Church
Ncxt Saturday Night at 7.3O.

| The Sunday school Of st. Johns
Lutheran church, Walhalla, will rem
der Christmas service on Christ
mas night at 1880 o'clock. This will
be a very interesting and appropri-
ate service. An invitation is extended
to every one.
The Offering at this service will 20
ITO the starving children In the East
and Central Europe. 1t will be a cell
ebration of the birth day of Christ,
and the birthday gifts will go to
Him, for lie said, "Inasmuch as ye
did it unto one Of these, We did 1t
unto Me-"
Herbert Hoover says there are g.
100000 children In that country
whose lives will depend on our aid
this winter. There are many chill
dren there eight or nine years OF age
not yet able to walk for lack Of pro-
per food, and many with twisted
backs and crooked limbs, like a de-
formed tree in the woods, because
their mothers could not satisfy their
cries for bread.
In many respects this Is a remark
able year to us. Some of the food
crops are the largest on record, as II
the earth had yielded here that we
might have to give to those who
lack.
President Wilson says:
Since 1914 our people have given
with unparalleled generosity, and
they should not be lightly called up
on for additional charities. But
there Is life and death situation in
Central Europe, where orphans, des-
titute, famished children, pitiful con-
sequences Of the World War, must
die unless aid is sent.
Ten dollars contributed through
the European Relief Council will
save the life Of one child. For con-
certed effort. there have been COM
bined in this council eight we'll
known organizations, namely, the
American Relief Association, the
American Red Cross, the American
Friends Service Committee, Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee, Fed
eral Council Of Churches Of Christ In
America, knights Of Columbus, Y.M.
e. A. and the Y. w. G. A.
AT Christmas time, peculiarly the
children's feast, we should think of
this sad European problem in terms
OF children rather than in money
Ten dollars will represent child s
life IN Central Europe. | shall adopt
~ children as my own temporary
wards, and I can think Of no better
use to which | could put 5000
suggest to my fellow country
men that the circles around their
Christmas trees will be incomplete
unless, mingled with their own ex-
pectant children. they shall visualize
some of the waits Of Central Europe,
stretching out their th.l hands to
pluck from the boughs Of the trees
not toys, but bread, without which
they must PERISH"
The children will have their treat
also, but how much happier any tluc
Christian will feel If he has the con-
seriousness, as he sees the happiness
Of his own children. that he is saving
the life Of helpless ones at this JOY
Gus season.

"REMINISCENCES OF ORR'S u-'G"
Old Letter Found by Lee G. Holle-
man Among Papers.
fAniersGn MALL

iAndcrSGn MALL
In going over some old papers re-
Gently, Lee G. Holleman came across
letter written by his father, and
addressed to him in the following
manner: "To my boy, Lee G. Holle-
man, Anderson, S. c." The letter
was written on July 21st, 1908, and
was never mailed, but was given to
Mr.. Holleman several years later
The letter Is interesting, especially
to some Of the older people in An
derson and Oconee counties, for 1t
has to do with the surviving men,
bers of Orr's Regiment at the time
1t was written.
To-day, u /forty-seven years ago." it
reads, "Orf's Regiment OF Rifles was
organized and mustered into the SER
vice Of the Confederate States at
Sandy Springs. 1t was composed of
ten companies Of one hundred men
and four officers each, and four Of
these were. from Pickens District,
now Oconee and Pickens counties,
VIZ: Co. A. Capt. j. w. Livingston: :
Co. G, Capt. J. J. Norton; Co. e,
Capt. NJ M. Norton; Co. F, Capt. r.
A. Hawthorne.
These companies on that day had
4l6 men In them, and afterwards
had good many recruits to join
them. How does the roll now read in
this part OF Oconee county?
"All that recall while writing
this that are now alive and live in
this county are: J. r. Reid, w. II.

nery-fourteen in all that can
think of while writing this. There
are no doubt few more that I do
not recall, but not many. 1t would
be safe TO say that 500 men belonged
TO those four companies from the
first to the last during the war. Now
just think for moment Of only IA

The second one essayed comfort and

said.
