So she ceased her affiliation with our organized work. These have all continued steadfast in the faith and can ever be relied upon to stand up for the Master's cause as advocated by the Christian women of this age. Sister Amanda C. was a power with the children. She had a 60 host of them in Chelsea, N. Memphis, and God used her effectively to teach those children the beautiful story of Jesus and his love. Our children's Sunshine Bands and sewing schools are very helpful agencies in the Christian training of our children.
Much attention is given to our children's department.
Sisters Amanda C. and Hannah J. of Memphis often went with Virginia on her mission tours through the country and took great delight in helping to lead their less fortunate sisters and brothers to the highway of consistent Christian living. Never was a soul happier than she when she could read her Bible for herself. After the women had gone Hannah's husband concluded he would go and see what mischief those women were doing. He soon joined the church and lived a faithful, devoted member, always ready to defend and help the women in their special lines of missionary work. Brother Johnson even built a tabernacle on his own ground and largely at his own expense, that the women might have one place where they would be free to worship the Lord according to the dictates of their own consciences, with no preacher or deacon to molest them or make them afraid.
