The Carolina churchman [serial] . Our attendance atMorning Service is growing, healthily, and last Sun-day reached the high-water mark. I have never hadso satisfactory an audience as we had then, the youngfolks especially being attracted to the service by thehearty singing. On last Thursday, we began to realizethe long desire of our hearts for a Singing three to five, we gather and practice new hymns,and the people enjoy it very much. I am thinkingof adding a short form of Evening Service, which Iam sure will be helpful. Necessary Improvements Of our Day School, I cannot say much as yet. ThisI can say, however, that we are putting the old schoolhouse into better condition than it has hitherto been,by lowering the floor timbers, and putting in an entirenew floor. This was made possible by the generosityof Mr. Stanly Smith and Mr. Amos Griffin, who con-tributed two-thirds of the lumber—and other interestedparties, the rest—and Mr. Davidson Nance, who fur-nished the new floor timbers, and dressed the floor. A GROUP AT ST. TIMOTHY S found them gathered upon the lawn between theChurch and the parsonage, where Mr. and and Mrs. Nance had strung Japanese lanternsand spread tables, loaded with refreshments. To take my bride into the little home I had beenweeks preparing for her was but the work of a fewmoments, when we came out and joined the merrygroup, until the lanterns one by one had all died out,and we were left to the light of the full glorious moon. Squire Stanley Smith, as the oldest member of theparish, made a neat little address of welcome, to whichI responded briefly, and after prayer was offered, webetook ourselves to refreshments. We will never for-get that scene. It was a delightful introduction to thework, especially to my bride, who came as an entirestranger to both the people and to the country.
