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.

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

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.''

OLD HICKORY.
A QUESTION
Won't you admit that the build
ing of a Southern Life Company
is a commercial necessity?
A SUGGESTION'
There is a Southern Company, conserv
ative in its management, a pronounced suc
cess in its efforts, its financial condition as,
strong as the best, issuing contracts abso
lutely free from misleading clauses, aid as
low in cost as is commensurate with safety.
The Company Suggested Is
The Voluteer State Life

of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
