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 Extra help employed to wait on thetrade during this sale. Five Hundred Dollars worth Christmas goods just received included in this sale. 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.
