sprung out their green leaves, and beauti
fed the slopes OF the surrounding noun
tains.
Our Murphy Meeting is again moving
along in its harmonious way. and all seem
gratiied with the great revivifcation OF
this grand and benificent cause. How in
portant it is tor those who love God, and
hope Tor eternal life through the merits OF
"a crucified Redeemer, to meet for the
encouragement in the abstinence from the
intoxicating cup to which so many are i'm
perceptibly shackled.
On Tuesday evening, June 4, a number
OF u citizens convened in the school
house of this place and organized a Sun
d~ay-school. On motion of Joseph ID. Mil
Ter the school was named The Union Sun
da~y-school of Mineral Point. The pros
poets OF this school are fair, as many who
did not attend any Sunday school will at
tend this one. And may they read, teach,
pray, sing and live the Bible while life is
given, so that beyond the grave they may
sing the song of Moses and the Lamb.
