CELEBRATING A CENTENARY.
Midway Church in Anderson CountySouth Carolina, recently celebrated its hundredth anniversary. Its last tew years have been hard ones, for its parishioners, farmers, had no money to give toward its support, io overcome this difficulty the pastor suggested to his congregation that each one should se. aside an acre on his farm, for the support of the church and call it Gods Acre On this acre they might grow what they liked; fruit, vegetables, or cotton, and the yield would be taken to the church and sold. By this scheme Midway Church has pulled through hard times. Now that President Roosevelt has appealed to the farmers to grow less in order to help to raise prices, it has been decided that “God’s Acre” shall become God’s 'Half-Acre, this year, not because the farmers want to stint their church, but because they think that if they can all become more prosperous with the general improvement they will, be able to do more for their church in .other ways The church, too. will gain by the higher prices that its produce will bring.
