It remains to be seen whether ray lucubrations in The Courier will bring to me ruin or rest At any rate, np to date, they are bringing me all sorts of letters, and some of them set all the wheels in my head a going, while othes get down into my deep er nature, and warm up the cockies of ray heart There were three in the mall yesterday, worthy of good treat ment; but I can attend to bat one of tho three now. Maybe some Cour ier reader can come to my help;'so here is the letter. If any good soul ls moved by it, and wishes the girl's address. I am here at Bleak House, ready to give it. "My Dear Sir: I read The Cour ter, 'and see that you travel this State quite a good deal, and I am going to ask a favor of you. The hard times have cauaed m? to quit school, ??U ? am anxious to ?at work to do, so that I may enter again in September, 1915. I am aeventeen yeera old, and am capable and willing lo teach , small children, or to be a governess, as I have always been accustomed to children; or be an office girl. I cannot bear to be idle when there needs to be so much done. Now, Dr. Brown, lt you could assist me In Andina work, X would accept lt as the gveateei fa vor. I would be a companion for an elderly lady. I can give you all the references you may wish to have. Rev. J. D. Huggins knows my mother snd 1 ail her people quite intimately. Trust ing you can aid me, I am, otc." I wonder it there ia anybody in the whole world (who reads the Cour ier) who can come to this girl's help. Her writing ls neat and clear, and the aptrit of her appeal ls admirable. Just ahlp your answers to me, and I'll for ward them to the proper place. I have found friends for other folks, snd I feel some how or other that I am go ing to find one for thia girl. John Tides Choreo. 7 have not yet reached the ultiraa thnle of my possible Journeys; but I have been to Anderson, and spent ? Sunday with the First church, the ino. D. Rackeielier of the South Car olina Baptist churches. I am reliab ly informed that several men high in the Baptist ranks have Informed John Vines that they stand ready to take hlB place nt any moment. It; ls a magnificent piece of religious en ginery. I apoke to a room full ot Ba rnes* oh Sunday morning, and old man Judge Cox, informed me that they had one hundred and severity names on the Baraca roll. I tried to speak too to an auditorium, full of pap-' plo on the fertile theme- "The Old Preachers* Case," and the patience bf the sslnts was beautiful to look upon. They showed their forbearance by coming back to hear me again at night and at each service we were on tne verge of having a hugging bee. The circumstances forbade lt- that, was all that stood tn the way. I am con fidently exoecting that thia great church will g?vv, me about fahr hun dred dollars per'atahum for the Old Preachers just as soon, as tho folks over the pvmd leave off tearing at each other's throats, and cotton goes up to a decent and reapectable figure. Selah! Vines was away while I waa on the ground. They told me he waa holding a meeting in Spartanburg, and the brother who gave mo the nqws informed me that John was a real stomp poller in a meeting. And I part-1 ly believe lt These fellows wt? naas aa evangelista, and only skim the face of the earth with their preaching, are out of date now, and ought to be out of a Job. This..age requires subsoil ing, SUR I should love to ail ott In the brush, and Watch John-Vines run his sweep against nome clumps I have met With in the fallow grounds of thc ministry. There would surely-bo a busting trace, a broken plow, or a strangled mule somewhere In that neighborhood before sundown. But the First church of Anderson is surely tne largest and wealthiest thing cr the kind wo have in South Carolina, ana lt strikes a poor stoner like me that the said one church should be made into two. But, pray, who am I? 1 met the treasurer of the church In question, Brother Ledbetter. Mercy on me/ he ls a fine looking fallow, and as big as all out doora.
