New MIL Creek Bridge.

In about fifteen days a new bridge
across Mill creek on the Martin Town
road will be completed and thrown open
for travel. Supervisor Edmunds let
the contract some time ago to King
Brothers of Greenwood for So, 600.
The construction is of long-leaf heart
pine lumber and the span of the bridge
is covered with galvanized iron to pro-
tect it from, the weather. This bridge
will be a great boon to that portion of
our citizenship which travels the Mar
tin Town road, one of the oldest thor
oughfares of the county. Mr.. Ed
munds made a good trade when he let
the contract to King Brothers for this
bridge.

Change in Union Meetings.

For some time, owing to the small
attendance upon the Saturday sessions
of the union meetings, the question of
discontinuing the Saturday sessions al
together has been ~agitated in the union
meetings of the first division of the
Edgefeld Baptist association. After
some discussion at the union meeting
at Bold Spring last Sunday q resolu-
ton was adopted making the change.
Hereafter there will be only a one-day
session of the union meeting in the first
division, and that will be held on the
fifth Sunday. The next union meeting
of this division will be held at Bethany
church.

farmers will fight the boil weevils with
the same grim determination that the
Belgians resisted the first onslaught of
the Germans or with the same unre-

them altogether but can slow them

PEARLS MADE IN AMERICA.

A French pearl is not a real pearl, but
a fattering imitation CT the oyster made
article. 1t is a glass bead c~leverly
coated with a film obtained from fish
scales. The French have always drawn
heavily on Russian resources for these
scales. When the war put a stop to i'm
porting them, French were no
longer able to obtain the near jewel they
so priced. Neither were we. To meet
the demand, American dealers called
upon the Bureau of Fisheries to find
something to take the place of it. The
Bureau found it, but not all at once.
After much experimenting and in
vestigating that body decided that the
scales of sea herring and the shad in
Chesapeake Bay possessed the delicate
lustre. seen in Oriental pearls" The
process of taking the shine off of a scale
and putting it on a bead was easy once
it was discovered. -E@chonge.

MISSION SUNDAY

Al the evening service to which a good
ly crowd c~ongreQated, Chaplin Steiner,
y. S.. N. IN very eloquent, and delibera
tive language expressed how earnestly
he advocates the work Of the Mission ard
recalls with pride the work Of Moravian
Missions especially. He drew several
oral illustrations which served to portray
more wildly TIE excellent work of these
who leave comfort and home to endure
sacrifice and hardship that the gospel q
Jesus Christ be known even to the loneN
Eskimo. The speaker also emphasized
the fact that, though re cannot all be
missionaries to foreign lands, yet we can
at home and among our own people do
our lit, and according to the measure
of our abb ity'' subscribe toward the up
keep of so noble a work.
Rev. Leslie next followed up with that
impressiveness of which he is wol t, and
proved how very responsible the Church,
especially the Sunday School department
IS, for the moral and religious teaching
of our youth, more so since scripture is
no longer enforced on the curriculum of
the public schools.
He earnestly appealed for help for this
blessed work especially from those nost
influential and exemplary.
We sincerely hope that the effect of
these beautiful addresses will not soon
be lost, and that it may be more possible
for each Individual to lend a hand in fur
rhering the blessings wherewith we are
blessed to heather nations. Ibid.

The spirit of missions is t e spirit Of

time when Christ came. The western
world was in the depths of degradation
the ideals of Socrates and Cato being
submerged by the beastial immortality
of men like Caligula and Nero, who
were preferred by the People to men of
high principle just as the rabble pre-

because a man of another caste was
forbidden to eat out of the same plate.
There was no commingling in brotherly
association of man with man; there

the blind, for the sick, for helpless, for

healing in his wings.
The speaker traced the elevation of
women, the spread of education and the
enjoyment of whatever is good in civil

missions Of the Church. which even now
in the Far East were infusing humanita-

of Christian, when viewed in,the light

direction as the Moravians. He paid a
warm tribute to the labors of the early
workers ip these islands, who has helped
so largely to abolish slavery and to

He concluded with the remark that
