FAIRFIELD PRESBYTERIAL Fairfield Presbyterial held its spring meeting at Calvary Pres byterian church, Winnsbdro, S. C., March 29. The meeting was opened with devotional exercis es.

John son, who said that “Prayer is necessary for those who give. Prayer and gifts go side by side.” At this meeting each member was given a “goal” that was adopted by the Presbyterial for each “local society,” which will prove very helpful if carried out.

He had been confined to his bed for more than three years. He died at the age of 73 years. In the early days of his life he joined the Long Cane Presbyterian church (white). In this church he was baptized and there remained a member until Washington Street church was organized in 1380. He then ~"was transferred to Washington Street church, then the Second Presbyterian of Ab beville. In this church he re mained until his death. Em* several years Mr. Richie was a deacon of Washington St. Church; afterwards he with oth ers was ordained elder of the church, which office he held un til his death‘s Elder N.~M. Richie was always a faithful and a loyal member of his church. We could always count on him in whatever was right and for the upbuilding of the church during the active years of his life. He would sel dom miss church and was always ready to do his part. The peace of the church was the thing that rested most heavily upon hi&Tnlnd. He was faithful when others were faithless. For some time he was superintendent of the Sunday school and did not give up until health failed him. When Elder Richie was quite a young man he was married to Miss Emma Frazier who survives him. They lived happily togeth er for 51 years. This good worn, an stood by him through all of his illness, never complaining of what she had to pass through. Brother Richie was the eighth Elder of' Washington Street church to die within the last 12 years. All the older elders are gone. On the 8th of March the fun eral of Elder Richie was preached in Washington Street Presbyte rian church. The church was filled with those who knew and loved him. The pastor preached from the words in Genesis 5:24, “And Enoch walked with God and was not, for Good took him.” Appropriate music was rendered by the choir. Other ministers of the city who assisted in the fun eral services were Rev. Adams, of the Baptist church; and Revs. L. Devlin and Jesse Sanders of the A. M. E. church. The body was laid to rest in Harbison cemetery. Those in the family who re main to miss him are his wife, his sister, Mrs. Carrie R. Branche, of Englewood, N. J.; a niece and several nephews. A good man,has gone. H. Y. KENNEDY. SIXTY-ONE CONVERTS AT BILLINGSLEY ACADEMY. Dear Editor:—I am glad to announce the following incident which took place recently at Billingsley Academy. On the 12th of March we had planned a meeting at Billingsley Acade my but coming from Sanford in an open car on the 11th caused me to have a severe case of neu ralgia which prevented our meeting until Tuesday after. We spent only 45 minutes in the service each day. On Tuesday Rev. J. W. Croom, of the First Baptist church, preached 20 minutes for us. The other time was spent in songs and appeals by the Principal. One convert stood up on Tues day. We had no more-preaching. The time was spent in singing and appeals by the "Principal. Only one convert took a stand on Wednesday but the interest ran very Jiigh. On Thursday the singing was very lively and spiritual, during which time we urged volunteers to take a stand. It was not very long before they began to rise and soon the num ber was 39 for Thursday. I asked two. ministers to be present on Friday. They were present. The singing again be gan with great spiritual power. I called^ for those who had made professions to stand up. They all, 41, stood up. As we sang, I cdlled for volunteers to join the number, when they began to rise and soon the number "was 61. We could hardly restrain great outcrying, while no effort of any one prevented it. It was a soul-stirring time. I never saw such results with so little time put into it. The ministers were very much impressed when they saw so great fifth ii$j|he chil dren and so great demonstra tions of the children. Every church in the city was helped because children from every church made profession of faith in Christ.. Z. A. DOCKERY. Statesville, N. C.

January and February were very cold but we were able to have our regular services. The writer with several of the other ladies gave an entertainment March 15 for the benefit of our church. Quite a nice crowd was present and we realized a neat sum. When March came in our people seemed to take on new life. Each service is largely attended, especially our evening services. Mr. Robert Loggihs, of Mary Potter School, of Oxford, N. C., visited his parents a few weeks ago and was kept at home sev eral days on account of measles, and also bequeathed to us the malady. Mr. and Mrs. William Fulton have gone to Washington, D. C., for the summer. Misses Marion Penn and An nie Finley visited in Stuart a few days ago. Each service in our church is an evangelistic service. Six persons have been added to the church since Christmas! Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Rad cliff’s infant son, Harrison, Jr., died March 20th. Our Sabbath School Mission ary, Prof. S. L. Young, of South Boston, visited us Friday night, April 6th, and held an institute. A large crowd was present and enjoyed the occasion. Our pas tor, ftev. R. L. Hyde, gave us a wonderful Easter sermon Sab bath morning. His text was “And he said unto them, Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: be hold the place where they laid him.”—Mark 16:6. Judging from the report at the Presbytery our church did well last year. Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Hyde, Mr. "ST S. Dickson, Miss Augusta Loggins and the writer attended the Presbytery at Holmes Memo rial church last week. We can not begin to thank the pastor, members and friends for their entertainment. The writer was not a delegate but met many old friends and made many new ones. Miss Nellie Griffith, Secretary of the Junior C. E. Society, cel ebrated her eleventh birthday March 27th, with twelve of her friends. They played games for an hour. They were then, invit ed into the dining room where they were served. The birthday cake had eleven candles. The table was decorated with pink and white cut flowers. A dainty luncheon was served by Mrs. Hyde. Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Hereford on Thursday afternoon at their beautiful home at Chestnut Knob entertained the executive members of the Presbyterial. She had as her special guests Mrs. G. P. Watkins, of Martins ville; Mrs. R. L. Hyde, of Stu art, and Mrs. J. M. Davis, of Lynchburg. Mr. Russell Staples and Mrs. Mayme Galloway were quietly married recently. Our public school will close this week with a program Thursday night. Mrs. Hyde gave the children of the community an egg hunt Monday afternoon, April 9th. About seven dozen eggs were hid. There were about 65 chil dren and quite a number of the parents present. The most eggs found by any person was seven. Miss Annie Mae Staples cele brated her 16th birthday Satur: day night. She received many lovely presents. We were very sorry to hear of the auto accident of Mr. and Mrs. Wingo of Amelia Court House. Little Barbara Radcliff was entertained by her uncle, Mr. Robert Staples, on his second , birthday, April 9th, with an egg hunt. After the hunt and I games they were served ice cream and cake.
