4 Our Sabbath School is almost a thing |
of the past. We tried long and faithful
ly to sustain it, by regular attendance, /
and trying to influence others to join us, |
but we are forced TO ''give it up" tho |
reluctantly; yet would suggest that we |
meet once more, aud endeavor to reor- |
ganiZe, and let each and every one ''put |
mis- shoulder to the Wheel" and work |
with renewed energy in the interest of
the Master. Spring is almost here, and
we cannot excuse our non-attendance
by a cry of ''toO cOld.'i
Bro. Ussery has promised to deliver
sermon on the subject of SUNDAY
schools" at his next appointment, the
LIST Sabbath in March, and we hope every
person in the vicinity of Rock Spring,
I'D and young viii be enabled to hear
aim.

Mr.. Eddie ] Ong was very unfortunate
asst Wednesday. While cutting wood
| the axe glanced and he received IL most
| Dainful cut on the left foot, which dis

Miss Sallie, her daughter, was at the

on the finger, which DR.. Long lanced,
ere she was relieved.
Mr.. Nat Huckaby anC handsome
bride, ne Miss Pattie Hayes, were call

AtkissOn's.
KIND friends and dear neighbors, let
me entreat you to be more attentive to
the sick aud afflicted. Do not neglect
visiting them, but try and lend a help
ing hand; especially to the lonely little
O .phans,. who need, and would appre-
al hours visit to cheer and console
them. "James, a servant of God" al
moniShes us to "visit the widows and
orphans in their affliction," and if we
fail to do so, we are neglecting Christ
ian duty.
Since writing the above, Mrs. J. T.
Atkisson was taken sick with chill and
with asthma, but we trust her suffering
will not be of long duration, for she has
under her care little sick orphan, to
whom she has been giving undivided
attention for several days past. May
God bless them in their affection.
Yours ever,
A MODE
