Sheldon Church
Ruins To Be Site
OF Fete Sunday
Local People Are Invited
to Historic Occasion
in Low Country

The Rev. Maynard Marshall,
formerly of Charleston, rector of
Saint Helena church, Beaufort,
S. c., warmly invites all citizens
of Hendcrsonville and vicinity and
their relatives and friends, to one
of the most historic celebrations
of the southern seaboard. This
occasion is the annual service at
the famous old Sheldon church
ruins, nearly two centuries old,
just off the Charleston-Savannah
highway, at noon Sunday, May |.
This invitation is of especial in
tcrest in Hendersonville and Flat
Rock, because both of these
places are the summer homes Of
most of the South Carolina low
country, numbers Of Charleston
ians moving up literally by fam
lilies each summer for many gen
erations. The interest of Western
North Carolina and the South
Carolina low country is recipro-
cal and it is hoped that many mo-
torists will come down for the
noted event. Last year nearly B.
600 people attended the Sheldon
church yearly service, which is
conducted the second Sunday af-
ter Easter, this date this year
coming on May /.
May day in the Beaufort coun-
try is an exquisite time, with
flowers blooming, soft southern
breezes playing in the palms and
ferns, and trailing vines clinginG
more closely to the old stone walls
that have withstood the siege of
centuries.
War, pestilence and famine
have served only to cOnsecratc
still further the holy ground on
which stands the Sheldon church,
put there in colonial days on the
land grants Of the great English
family of Bull. General Stephen
Bull was one of the most distin-
guished members of this famous
family and the gentry of the en-
tire countryside would accompany
him to his nearby plantation home
after services at Sheldon church
for dinner on Sundays.
The Rev. Mr.. Marshall is he
yearly celebrant of this splendid
commemorative service and on
this occasion will have the Rev.
Thorne Sparkman, known TO many
at Kanuga Lake, Hendersonvllie,
to deliver the sermon and the
Paris island marine orchestra
will play. And vested choir VIII
lead the congregational singing.

FUTURE LIFE SUNDAY
SCIENTIST THEM E

"Probation After DEATH" was
the subject of the leSson-Sermon
in all Christian Science churches
and societies on Sunday. The
golden text was from John 5:25.
Verify, verify, l say unto you, the
hour is coming, and now is, when
the dead shall hear the voice of
the Son of Cod. and they that
hear shall live"
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon was the
following from the Bible: "Bless-
ed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, which accord
ing to his abundant mercy hath
begotten US again unto lively
hope by the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead, to an i'll
heritance incorruptible, and unde-
filed, and that fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you, Who
are kept by the power of God
through faith unto salvation ready
to be revealed in the last time. y
Il Peter 1 $50.
The lesosn-sermon also lnclud-
ed the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
"The Master said plainly that
physique was not spirit, and after
his resurrection he proved to the
physical senses that his body was
not changed until he himself
assembled, - or, in other words,
rose ever higher in the under.
standing of spirit, God. Jesus
unchanged physical condition aft
er what seemed to be death was
followed by his exaltation above
all material conditions; and this
eXaltation explained his ascen-
sion, and revealed Enthusiastically
a probationary and progressive
state beyond the grave" page

LEADERSHIP IS
APPEALEDF0
BY GIRL SCOUT
Many Sided Development
of Youth Pointed to
as Beneficial
By DOROTHY BROWN
Member Girl Scouts, Troop

The Girl Scouts of Troop ! are
holding their annual court Of
awards April 26. wonder how
many citizens other than the ia
theirs and mothers will be there?
Not many, | expect. "Oh the Girl
Scouts" they will say, mo |
don't guess I'll go. They don't
concern me-" Don't they?
The Girl Scouts are not just a
local club where girls pretend at
doing things. They are a ma
ternal organization of the future
women of America. 1t is they who
must make the homes for the flu
ture leaders of our country. And
it is they who will in some meas
ure rule our country. The Girl
Scouts mold and lead girls to a
strong upright womanhood, cap
able of standing on their own.
Surely the good citizen must real
ize that in order to build the
country he wants he must build
good men and women to live in
and build that country.
But perhaps there are a few
people who have the energy and
the enthusiasm for this work.
There is what the Scouts need.
Their lists are crowded with eager
girls who seem to realize better
than our citizens the need for
better builders. They need new
leaders. And it doesn't take eX-
pert work. The girls will lend a
helping hand and work hard and
comparatively. In the stout log
cabin which houses the two troops
is carried on such a well rounded
and varied program that must in
terest any citizen. Not only are
they taught to make a pleasant
home through such badges as the
housekeeper, homemaker, cook,
laundress, needle woman and hos
tess but through the business wo-
man, world interpreter, world
knowledge, scholarship and junior
citizen they are taught to make
living in the world.
The outdoor girl is developed
by such badges as healthwinner,
housewoman, cyclist, swimmer,
pathfinder, astroligist and many
animal, plant, insect and bird
badges.
While the citizens have been
very generous with their purses
and enabled them to build their
cabin it is the personal touch that
they want. There are many, how
ever who have given friendly CO.
operation and extended much ap-
preciated courtesys. Also the girls
wish to pay tribute to the hard
working, patient leaders who have
given time and energy and put
Hendersonville Scout work on It's
feet.
The citizens must wake up to
the fact so aptly stated on the
Boy Scout poster but also applied
to Girl Scouts-"The future OF
America lies in its youth.

the branch ran red with the best

Gen. Lee was magnificent. As soon
Is he saw the men returning from
the charge he rode out to rally them
with quiet words. When he met Gen.
Pickett and heard that ohicer cry
out that he had no division left him,
he said: Come, Gen. Pickett, this
has been my fight and upon my shoul-
ders rests the blame. The men and
officers Of your division have written
the name Of Virginia as high today
Is ever 1t has been written before. P"
To Gen. Wilcox, who vainly sought
to support the charge, Lee said !:
"Never mind. general, all this has
been my fault-it Is I that lost this
fight, and you must help me out of
1t the best way you can"
Lost this fight" he said. Tech
nically he may be correct, but If

tomorrow, watch out!
