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; Appreciates News’ Editorials.
