EREsrING FAsr.l

In the year 1917, the first Sunday School,
we believe, organized in the State If Virgin
ia, was opened in this town, in connection
with the Methodist Episcopal Church, by
George Walker, James McGehee and John
Thurman-the last Of whom still survives,
useful venerable and respected citizen of
Lynchburg In very short time two hum
dred scholars, of both sexes, were collected,
many of whom had no other opportunity of
acquiring the slightest education. 1t is not
possible to say what amount of good may
have been done by evcna. single years opc-
ration OF the School - We contine ourselves
t. an allusion to two cases, which have been
brought to our notice
Among the first scholars who attended
was slim, spare youth, who manifested a
capacity and desire of improvements That
youth grew up-removed to the West
studied law-and has long been known to
the nation, as the Hon WILLIAM AL
hen, late Senator Of tho United States
from the State of Ohio
In. the second year of the School, there
was entered as scholar younger boy of
prepossessing appearance and department.
He was tue son of one of the three persons
named as tne4Iounuefs OF the ochooi- ana Is
now the HON ISAAC p WALKER, a
Senator in Congress from the State of Wis
consin. Two members Of the Senate Of the
United States, therefore, during the last
session, were among the first pupils Of the
first Sunday School established in our town,
and, as we believe, in the State
