All the children who were on the program performed their parts well. Mrs. J. P.

The misse^.Rivers spent Saturday antl Sunday with their sister, Mrs. T. L. Melton. Our pastor, Rev. Mr.Chewning, has been preaching some spendid sermons to us during his last few appointments. Now we do not mean to leave ine impression tnat we think that he has ever preached a sorry sermon, hut rather this; that his last two here were exceptionally good ones. Mr. Chewning is no pulpit coward. He believes in "speaking out." He is a successful preacher who is not afraid to enumerate in plain words the sins which our people are daily committing. He thoroughly emphasizes the fact that there is more to becoming a Christian than merely quitting your meanness. He stresses the great need for Christian service. The talk Bro. Chewning made on last Sunday morning was very encouraging to the little folks, yet the most impressive were the closing remarks as to the responsibility of the Sunday School teacher towards his or her pupils.

We realize that her gentle bearing and sweet dignity were but the outward expres sion of the abiding "peace of God" in her heart and tru*t that our Heavenly Father, the One Great Comforter, abides with each member of the family, for only by trusting in Him do we find consolation. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family and one be kept on the permanent records of the class.
