ASSOCIATION AT OLD UNION. Sherifl Powell Grows Reminiscent Thinking and Writing About the Recent Meeting of the Primitive baptists in Their Annual Session. The '"Socation" of the Little River Primitive Baptist Association just closed in Boon Hill township, John ston County, was apparently the most largely attended of any on record. I had not the pleasure of attending, but was with them in spirit and sentiment. Friday, the opening day, was ideal, and largely attended. Saturday in cessant rains kept many away. Few, save the everlastingly dependable devotees of their great faith and doc trine and devotion attended. But their program was not shaken. Nothing short of Divine interference could do that. Sunday was their day and the church grounds so recen'ly policed, must have had the appearance of a camp of the Children of Israel with the Ark of the Covenant in the Wil derness. It was a great home-coming irom many quarters. The fatted ealf, dou ble-jointed pig, the plump weather, sacrifices from the poultry yards, the orchards and vineyards registered, drafted and drawn on for their yield ings, the pantries and larders of the Mothers in Israel^ were ransacked from top to bottom for their choicest "holdings for the most elaborate spread. The men donned in new suits, shoes shined, hair sleeked, hands in shaking order, the girls and spinsters in pink and white redingotes, high heeled shoes and silk stockings and shy snow-white hamburg trimmed nether garments, and shy pieces from the "Bon Ton," and everywhere save Germany, their faces powdered, smil ing and sweet to the capacity and surrendering point. The preachers, from the Venerable Elder P. D. Gold, to the younger, were models of cour tesy and affability. I visited this church in my boyhood days, and well remember that good old pastor, William Brown, and his sermons on Job's Afflictions, Elijah and the Ravens, the Hebrew Children, Daniel in the Lion's Den and the Val ley of Dry Bones, his exhortations to flee from the wrath to come for the wicked, and the eternal rest in Sweet Caanan fdf the Chosen of the Lord; his lining out that choice old hymn, "Alas, and Did My Saviour Bleed," while the congregation (all of them) repeated, singing in unison. Legend says that once a preacher thus "giving out" a song, spied a fa vorite missing hog cross the free range church yard, and forgetting his surroundings, said in the same tone, "John, that old black sow has come; Go give her ten ears of corn." ? which was promptly sung by his flock. Then he said, "Brethren and Sisters, What are you about? Don't sing ev erything I give out." ? and that also was sung, but I don't believe it. This old church yard was my play ground when a school boy in the fif ties. Rollehole, knucks and mumble peg or stick-frog. Here I had my first and only scrap with a boy, and he beat the "stuffing" out of me. I "fout" the Yankees and am ready to try the Kaiser. I remember those old Patri archs that sat on the Amen side of the pulpit, the Thompsons, Braswells, Daughtrvs, Woodards, Langleys, Creechs and Dempsy Grant, especial ly, in his long claw-hammered, pnder back-pocketed, sheep-wool, jeans coat, that smclled like mellow apples and rattled of peanuts when bumping amidships against his thin hams. The women with the pallet-sized babies on the opposite side with quilts spread in the aisle and .drinking water out of the pulpit pitcher. No wonder at their staunch relig ious belief and sterling integrity in after years down the vista of time to the present glorious progressive era. And yet another contingent was fa miliar there. Some of the respected faithful Children of Ham occupied a railed-off section and broke bread and washed feet with them, and stood in good fellowship. I distinctly remem ber Old Watt Smith, the venerable old miller belonging to Mr._ David Smith, and old Peter, and Bunn, Cain, Gaston and Cug Whitley, Charles and Doll Powell, Patience Creech, Easter Turner, Chloe Grant and others not now recalled. Oh, if only some of my old war comrades, the Creech boys and espe cially my bosom friend, London Brown, could have been here, and doubtless their spirits were there. We will see them sometime is the blessed promise, though they are sleeping in Virginia soil. What is life any-way, in its last analysis? One hundred and fifty-one automo biles, 80 buggies, four two-horse wagons and five bicycles passed my home returning from there. That probably represented one-fourth the vehicles, which were all filled, that worshiped at that shrine, in some manner. C. S. POWELL. Smithfield, N. C.f Oct. 2, 1917. Talk little and say much. You will be heard. [MORE THAN 20.000 MF.N NOW IN CAMP W A US WORTH Spartanburg, S. C., Oct. 2. ?
