MEssRs. EDITORS: I was invited by
the pastor of Mt. Sinai colored Methodist
Church, to be with his people on the End
Sabbath in this month, and deliver an
address. It was Children's Day. The
day was bright and beautiful. A large
congregation assembled. The good order
that prevailed speaks well for the Church
there. The well prepared programme was
followed very well.
I was pleased to hear little children
repeat verses of Scripture correctly, anl
then give the book, chapter and verse.
It all showed that they had been well
taught. Children thus instructed, whether
white or colored, are not likely to come
to bad end.
This is what we need to-day all over the
land, and, If parents will begin in time,
not wait till Satan has taken possession OF
the heart, her barrooms,- will go faster
than they are going, the Sabbath will be
better observed, Sabbath trains will cease
to run on the Holy Day. disturbing wor-
shipping congregations. and causing
crowds Of idlers to gather about every
little depot, instead of going to opreaching.
I will never take stock In company that
will thus violate the command-"Re-
member the Sabbath day to keep it holy"
T trust the members at Mt. Sinai will con-
tinue this good work. 7 enjoyed the
good singing.
The whole services of the day proved
that the pastor is trying to build up his
people in spiritual religion, and trust
his labors will be blessed.
