ENT'HUSIASIIC SUNDAY SCl110UL. ine Work Being Done by the Flour ishing Sunday School of O'Neall Street Church. Editor The Herald and News: I be I'eve it will do the public good to know that Newberry has at O'Neall i treet church an enthusiastic Sunday school. In the beginning I remind you that on' last Sunday we had a very gloomy morning, so much so that it w-jalu" have prevented most people fr .m attending any kind of services. I will give you a few figures, which 'will best show the interest that is be ing taken by our people. As dark and threatening as the weather was, there were two hundred and ten scholars esent, fourteen officers and six visi tons. IT is really worth the time of anYI one to come over' and , see the bright d cheerful countenances of so many hndsome children; and the school is not composed entirely of children. There are quite a good number of men and lovely women who belong and tend regularly. For instance, we Ne one hundred and .seven adult mbers of No. 11 class, taught by Archie Bouknight, composed men of all ages from eighteen to ty-five. Archie is not' gifted with ery tounged oratory like I haie ened to, but a better Sunday school Ih.,r can not be found. He lives life that he is trying to. teach his to live, and the enthusiasm he ibits in a gentle and loving way iesses one with the earnestness only characterizes few such men chie Boukight. e have, I think, the banner Sun sqhool of the county and our aim hen the Sunday school convention this summer at Helena to carry the banner. We have money on to relieve those who are suffer Ing and need help. Brother James Da-is is chairman of the relief com ,T-ittee with imstructions td see that no one in our neighborho9d suffers. 'We have as chai-rmen of our socftl committee Brother J. E. Franklin and Brother W. T. Moss of our attendance committee, whose :business is to see that everybody comes!, and if any should stay away he will find the rea son 'why and bring them next time. Brother J. T. Timmermian- is. chairman * of the 'wile-awake committee, whose duty is to go out in the highways and ~hedges and bring in new members. The press reporter is your humble pervant, twho is only sorry that he is * ot able -to paint a pen picture of so noble a school as 'we have. Brother W. C. Bouknight is our no Sbie superitendentt, and it is wonder ful how -he schemes various ways to keep the school inteirested. It has *beien his custoin for several years to have a Christma tree or something else that would interest the school. This year he' had a Sunday school postoffice, which proved to be very interesting. All the small children got spnesen.ts given by the school and' many of the -oder o:nes got something *from the postoffice, given by ,so~me I tindk the best thing the Sunday school has done was to take upon it self 'the surpport of a little orphan girl from the orphan home in Colum bia. We appointed a committee of two of our beautiful and aocom.plished young ladies to go to Columbia to the ,orphan hopne and select the chid that Swe are going to support and bringther up on Christmas, that the school might see her, and they did go, and the selection was perfectly satisfag tory, as she was indeed a sweet little K girl. - Come over .some. Sunday inorning at 10 o'clock an:d see what we are doing. It will do you good. . . Respectfully, J. H."Chappell. xif5. MIRY F. STILL WELL. bute to Nemory of a Good Woman y Her Pastor.-Long and Use tal Life. n the 28th of Decemiber, 1910, the re spirit of Mrs. Mary Francest ow of ther late Captain Thomas T. lIwell, took its flight to r9alnms on gh to join the host of loved ones, and to be forever with her Lord, whom she loved and served from her, girlhood days. It was the' writer's good fortune to have known her from his boyhood days, and I have never known a more beautiful, consistent life. She was brought up in the Chris tian home of her father, Mr. Hawkins Dennis, and after she was happily married to her noble husband, she helped to make his home like unto the, one she had gone out from--a Chris tian home. She joined the Methodist church with her husband, and often have I seen them in attendance upon the week-day service at New Chapel, d enjoyed the time-honored class me'tings there. Unto them were 'born several children. All except two (I tbink arp 'e+ '" ~. *Rr Christian life left its impress ii pon rvry o. of her chidren for good, and toda.' her', sons are among college profes sors, officers in the church, honoring the name they bear, while her daugh ters are noble mothers, following the example of their Godly mother. She tas a grand-daughter now a mission ary in a foreign field. Eternity alone will reveal the good this mother has ccomplished. The last tim I visited her while I x:s ner pastor. from 1900 to 1903, she onversed freely with me about the bereafter, and after reading we joined in one of the old songs I knew she used to sing, and there wenz, up a volume of praise that was pleasing to -ur Father. We prayed and wept and ejoiced together in her room with the amily. Born February 14,' 1833, her days were nearly four score years. She ;aw many dark days, for during the ar while her husband was at the ront, and her brothers were wounded md sick and dying, sbe stayed with he little ones, doing a mother's part y them. Yet in all these things she was brave and true to every call of inty, and bore the hardships with a laith born of God. Two days .before she left this world she said,' "Well, if [ do go now, I shall be in that. beau tiful land where there will be no:more sorrow nor troulble." She had a deep and an abiding con idence in her Saviour, and with such she -never murmured nor com pained. The Bible :was the Book of books with her. Often she would gather her little children about her knees and read to them the "Sweet 9tory of Old"--how Jesus came to save evien the children, and as far as [ can learn all of them are on the way that led their dear mother home. Death came as a flash, but she had an the beautiful robe, and her lamp was trimmed and burning, and she ent in with 'thoese that were ready, and sat down with her Lord at the great marridge feast. While earth is .poorer, heaven Is richer since her translation. May the same unerring hand that led her safely through this world be unto each of thear, a beacon to guide each -and all of them to the rest she has found. To this end let us all bend our energies.' "Her children rispe ui ad call iher blessed.'' Written by the request of a son. D. Pettus Boyd. RELATED TO) NEWBEBRIANS.
