THE BIBLE INSTITUTE AT
Union Church.
The Institute which convened at
Union church last Friday and closed
Sunday, was a glorious meeting. A
large crowd was in attendance Sat
urday and Sunday, more than the
house would hold.
Among some of the visiting minis
ters were Revs. 0. V. and T. B.
Fuller. Tims. Bulling-toii and J. TL
Gorily.
Sunday morning the Sunday
School assembled and after the les
son. talks from ,1. IT .Monroe of Ab
beville et al were made on Sunday
School work. At eleven o'clock
Rev. T. B. Fuller occupied the pul
pit, and preached an able sermon
to an appreciative congregation.
Union church should have a larger
building. The present huildinm
while it is a good one, was construct
etl before the country was settled up.
Now that entire section of country is
being settled by prosperous farmers
it demands a larger building. Seville,
Abbeville, Rochelle, Pitts
and other points were represented at
the meeting. Everybodv Likes to " o-o
'
to Union church anywav.
The people are clever and hospit
able and know just how to make one —
teel at home. There is no section
in Wilcox County where tlie people
are getting along better, or come
any nearer living at home than the
Uommunity surrounding Union
church.__________________ '
