The Highland weekly news. [volume] (Hillsborough [Hillsboro], Highland County, Ohio) 1853-1886, 1877-06-07
HIsborough Highland County, Ohio Thursday,

each year have each q fifth Sunday. On each Of
these fifth Sundays your respective schools are re-
quested to take up collection for the Ohio Sunday
/ School Union. Thousands Of s. s. pupils could
I be gathered yearly into the ranks of the State
| U1iOn s. Schools, If the amount realized from
these solicited collections were in its treasury,
merely to feed aud cIothe good and effective work
ers, who are ready to be harvesters in this noble
cause.
| Beloved brethren and sisters, respond, and send
your collections to our Treasurer, j. N. Boyd, of
| Hillsboro. and he viii joyfuIly forward the same
| to its worthy destination. Remember the 6fIh
monthly Sundays
Then, also, to meet the necessary expenses Of
our County s. S. Union, is a duty we cannot afford
to neglect, no more than a farmer can afford the
loss that follows the neglecng of his fields in the
planting and harvest seasons. It requires Some-
thing more to be done, than to meet in our Town
ship organizations, and hare good time at the cost
of a few outside workers. If the County 5. s.
officers are expected to visit the Township organ
izatons, and Town and District Schools, you mus {
select them from persons Of liberal means, and
generous mould" or the schools must needs
raise sufficient amount to pay at least horse and
carriage hire and wear. For, to ask them to give
their own time and energies to this work, and be
at their own charges in livery expenses also, is
asking for the bearing Of burdens that the Book
does not Justify.
Benefccnce may be given and cultivated in work
or services, as well as in aims giving, as we all do, in
our local work iu the S. S. cause. But, when we
ask the service of another whose lOcsl and social
responsibilities arc not identified directly with our
own, then we become, unknowingly perhaps, "a
81
selves in relation to him whose labors are sought
so as to at least equalize with him abOrs of be-
nefcence. We help ourselves most as we COM
pletey embrace and practically enter into the
grand idea mutually, that 1--WE are our Brothers
keeper" In thus doing, the God of wisdom and
peace be with you all.
The attendance upon the Convention was la
mentally small, owing, in part It was thought, to
failure to get the notice as extensively circulated
as was intended. /
