The Centenial Celebration
Saturday and Sunday were auspicious
days of Bethabara church made so by
the last preaching service of this centu
ry and their centenial celebration.
The two days were bright and warm,
favoring human nature by giving us a
touch of her sunshine.
At a little past ten on Saturday morn
ing the church was thrown open to the
members and visitors.
The beauti'ul decorations were in ac
cord with the beautiful services held
therein. Most conspicious was the env
blematic motto, “The World for Christ,’
wrought in green cedar aud red berries;
this was but the sentiment of the en
tire church which was duly manifested
by its hospital entertainment, the
generous contributions, and above all,
the hearty handshake and welcome
smiles that illuminated the countenance
of these zealous workers.
The decorations were in the hands of
the young ladies aud gentlemen of the
chnrch and their young and buoyant
spirits found ample expression in the
green boughs, brgh flowers aud red
berries.
Many visitors from neighboring
churches and towns were present.
The morning services were given to
the report on Sunday schocl, chnrch
and mission work.
An abnhdant repast was spread at
noon on tables arranged in the chnrch
yard. The afternoon service was a
clear and forcible sermon on the Fun
damental Principles of Baptists, illus
trated by a chronological chart, pre
pared by the pastor for the occasion.
While the sermon was doctrinal, it did
not smack off the “dryness” of these ser
mons, bnt the speaker, the subject, the
chart evolved into one interesting con
necting theme, which held the audience
for an hour and forty minutes with un
abating interest.
The evening was given wholly to tne
Ladie’s Missioa Society. They had
prepared an oyster sapper on the cam
dus of the Ida Carithers Institute, and
by dubk bright fires illuminated the
semi-darkness around them and the
tables with their snowy clothes and
piled with the eatables that delight the

palate; the bright young people, the
nappy zealous faces of the ladies whose
hearts and hands were in the work for
the Master, all these bid defiance to the
clear cold elements aud made the hour
one supreme.
Something over $22.00 was cleared by
this supper and the ladies gave five of
it to Mercer.
Sunday was another happy, useful
day. That great, grand man, Dr. Ber
nard, gave us the sermon of his life.
His theme was “God Love Yon” aud
“even me” felt the truthfulness of
such wonderful words and were made
to shed tears of joy at each profound
revelation. He has the love of God at
heart aud this love finds its happiest
outlet, and heartfeL rills are more
sparkling when he expresses it for
Mercer’s endowment.
This he did in most emphatic ’and en
dearing terms, and it didn’t stop there,
he had a karty response in the shape of
a collection for the cause now so near
the heart of every civilized Baptist—
the endowment of Mercer University.
Something over $34 00 were given this
time.
Another abundant spread was pre
pared, aud after the refreshments, all
adjourned to the church again for a 10
minutes farewell service.
Little Ruth Carithers, of Winder, in
her childish simplicity, gave us “loday
and To morrow” in a recitation that
made the day real, and incited nobler
things for our to morrow. Such sim
plicity, innocence and sweetness have
their untold encouragement and effect.
The benediction was pronounced in a
most touching manner, and all dispers
ed to their respective homes, happier,
more hopeful, inspired, inanimated for
these two days communion with God
rud with man. Addie K. McCutchen.
