Friday, July H, 1924^ THE PILOT Page Two CAMERON Through the courtesy of Mrs. Geor- gie Matthews and her young son, Mr. Guy Matthews, the correspondent once again had the pleasure of attending the home coming at old Bethesda Church near Aberdeen. It was a great pleasure to once again see and grasp the hands of old friends. The sermon was preached by the Rev. R. A. McLeod, pastor at Galatea Church, who took for his subject: “Soul Investment,” his text being: “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul, or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul.” The sermon was largely addressed to the younger generation. In beginning his discourse Rev. McLeod spoke reminiscently, say ing he was baptized at that altar by the sainted Martin McQueen, although he did not go out from that church (Union claims Rev. R. A. McLeod) he remembered attending services there with his parents, he remembered the old “Stand” on the hill, the spring of water, the big oak tree, and the large crowds who attended at Communion services. Rev. Mr. Gaston as before made the address of welcome. One re mark he made struck me very forcibly. He said many of the older generation came to see the graves of revered and loved friends who were buried in the cemeteries which is quite true. Oh, yes! We had'the old-time singing without any musical instrument, led again by Mr. Scott Poole, of Raeford. Mr. J. McN. Johnson read the poem “Auld Bethesda Kirk Yark” that was sent in last week to The Pilot. I re ferred to Mr. Johnson as the Bard (meaning poet) of Aberdeen, but the printer caused it to read Board of Aberdeen; a bad mistake for a poem of such sublime sentiment. Mr. John son di#* not intend it to be published. It was sent to me as an invitation to attend, and I now almost regret send ing without first asking his consent. However, a poem so sublime should be in the treasure box of all the homes of those whose memories carry them back to the hallowed ground of old Bethesda Church. Just at the close of the exercises, and the dinner served, the rain began, breaking up the social feature of the occasion. Dear old Bethesda Church, of so many pleasant memories of youthful days! A new generation is coming on, and the old passeth. )|c >|C Sunday morning after the second primary of July 5th (Saturday) some of our citizens were crowing like a rooster, others were like the old crip pled gander that was “outed.” Rev. and Mrs. J.

It is the best paper in the county.
