The soul is safe in heaven."

Sacred Harp Singing
Court House Sunday
A few of tlie lovers of the old Sacred
Harp music met at the court house
Sunday and enjoyed a number of se
lections from the old book an hundred
years young. Among the singers were
Mr. Hillman Jackson who is more than
70, Uncle Jesse Lyle, who is 81 ; Mr. J.
J. Shedd and others who arc not so old.
There is something about these q)<l
songs that is divine and inspiring and j
we like them, but the old singers are
few and those who are left are most
too feeble to sing.

RALLY OF CHRIST
IAN CHURCHES HELD
HERE LAST SUNDAY
Last Sunday was a great day for the
Christian churches of Burrow county.
Representatives from all of tlie various
churches were in attendance. Tin* or
der of exercises for tlie day had been
previously planned. But tlie program,
iproper, in which these various represen
tatives were to take part did not begin
until the afternoon.
I So the entire morning program con
sisted of the regular routine of services
,in the Winder church. This gave all
k>f those from tlie visiting churches an
to see a live, wide-awake
'church in operation.
Promptly at ten o'clock a very enthu
siastic, and still at the same time very
'impressive devotional and song ser
vice, coupled with a short missionary
program, was rendered. Then followed
'jthe Bible school session. There were
two hundred and seventy-five pupils
present. This school has sixteen teach
ers and only one was absent and that
im account of sickness. The visitors
jwere told that this had been true for
three successive Sundays. Promptness
order, enthusiasm and efficiency ap
peared to be the outstanding character
istics of this great sehopl. Suffice it
to say. tHa t this phase of the work is
under tlie direction of Mr. Claud Mayne
a capable business man, who is ready
and willing to give of his time and en
ergy to the Lord’s business.
The audience at this time was favor
ed with a duet by Mr. John Williams,
and His little daughter. Then came tlie
climax of tlie morning services. A ser
mon by tlie pastor on the subject of
“Prayer.” With apt illustrations, both
(scriptural and practical, he was given
I splendid attention as lie labored to
‘khow the importance and power of
prayer. He took the position that all
real prayers are answered, not in our
own way, however, but in the way that
God sees best for us. He coupled
faith and prayer together, showing that
tlie people of all ages who have had
strong faith in God have been strong
in a life of prayer. Bro. Shelnutt, like
one of old, is “an eloquent mail and
mighty in tlie scriptures.” His name
is a household word among his breth
ren and sisters, and all appreciate the
fact that lie and his estimable family
are now located in our midst.
After the Lord’s Supper came the
noon hour. The ladies of the Winder
church had prepared dinner for the oc
casion. After partaking of the many
good tilings we could not refrain from
saying to ourselves, “Many other wom
en have prepared great feasts, hut sure
ly those of the Winder church excel
lest them all.”
At the afternoon session devotional
exercises were conducted by Mr. H. E.
Haynie. Mr. Claud Mayne was the
Chairman and in a straight forward
manner set forth the need of co-opera
tion in the Lord's work. And in order
to get his idea clearly before the minds
of all, he called for a report from all
of the churches. Some interesting Hits
of history as to the time of organiza
tion, etc, was given in connection with
those reports. There fTTe six churches
in the county, viz; Auburn, Carter Hill,
Midway, Chapel, Statham and Win
der, with a membership of one thou
sand and thirty-five.
After these church reports, there fol
lowed a discussion of the* scriptural
qualiftications of the Deacons and El
ders by Prof. Thomas of Auburn. He
read the scriptural qualiflicatlons of
.these officers and followed it with a
very helpful comment upon the great
responsibility of their work. He show
ed very plainly from experience an ob
servation, as well, that when the officers
of the church do their duty the eliureh
will be alive and active in all phases
of the Lord’s work, otherwise, said he,
•the opposite is true. The duties of the
.above named officers were discussed by
AV. B. McDonald of Maysvlllc. He took
the position that the deacons should
not only kiyk after the finances of the
church, but Hint if we, ns a religious
body, are to be scriptural we should
look after all temporal needs of the
church as well, and that the Elders
ishould lead, Instruct, protect and de
fend and have oversight of all the spir
itual interests of the church.
The final discussion on “Personal
(Evangelism” was led by Bro. SJielnutt,
followed by several others. Tills* repre
sentative audience of the Lord's work
ers were unanimous in declaring that
.the da.v had been pleasantly and profit
ably spent and a permanent organiza
tion was effected for future meetings;
