Manchester Notes.

MANCHESTER, Va, July 8, 90.
The concert given at the LIST Bap-
fist church, on last Monday night,
by the Old Folks was largely attend
ed. The recitations were fine indeed
We were more than delighted to
hear the Old People recite chapters
from the Bible so well. 1t is just
what we are trying to inaugurate
in our Sabbath School, a class for
thosewho are DESTROYS of knowing
more fully their mission here on
earth. We hope that the Old Folks
will in the near future, repeat their
concert.
Last Sabbath being the Annual
meeting of the LIST Church S. School
The following is the list of officers
elected for the ensuing term COM
mencing the LIST Sabbath in August.
c. H. Munford, Supt; S. II. johnson,
Asst. Supt. Mrs. l.. g. King, Treas;
Miss Rosa Blackwell, Missionary
Treas; Jno. +. Hall, Sect. Miss
Winnie Blackwell, Asst. Sect; Maui
rice Harris, Librarian; Geo. Lewis,
Asst. Librarian; Miss l. NJ. Binga,
Organist; Mrs. N. G. Robinson,
Asst. Organist; f. r. Nelson, Choris-
ter; Geo. Lawson, Asst. Chorister
Messrs. Jno. Baker and Macon Rob-
inson, Ushers. The school is in a
healthy condition, and prospecting.
We ask the young men and young
ladies, who will go to work every
day during the week and will not
miss day to come and give your
Creator two hours service on the
Sabbath instead of lounging around
and sleeping the Sabbath away.
We are interested in the young peo-
ples's welfare in this particular and
ask that they will arouse from their
state of lethargy and slothfulness.
And come to the help of the Al
mighty.
The End Baptist Church S. School
carried a large crowd to Wool
dridge's Farm in Chesterfield Co., to
their picnic on the 4th. We regret
that we could not attend. The
3rd Church S. School of which Rev.
r. Graham is pastor, gave their
picnic on Monday last, at the
Granite. We would have been more
than glad to have attended the
same, but owing to other engage
ments we were prohibited.
Mr.. Jno. Holmes keeps quite sick
at his residence on Hull st. bet.
14th and 18th SITS.
The S. S. Union will meet with
the SwansbOro School Sunday
Messrs. Z. II. Brooks and II. V.
Robinson, we are glad to say are
out again from a brief spell of sick
ness.
Young men fight laziness and stop
fighting each other and in the end
you can count dollars of which some
of you can't count 81 cent.

THANKSGIvING-DAY SONG.

The long years come and the long years 20
With their sad or sunny weather;
But never more on sea or shore
eve hide our tears as we say it o'er)
Are hearts all glad together.
The royal life of the roses fed
With the radiant summers going:
Red leaves lie cold in field and void,
And autumn winds are blowing;
But lights lean out from the olden homo
Like out-stretched arms of greeting,
Till the autumn gray fast fades away,
In the summer-ioy Of meeting!
Old forms are grouped by the homestead
hearth,
And sit in the old home places,
Yet they see in dream by the firelight's
CLEAN,
The shadow of vanished faces;
And we hush our hearts in the merry din
Of song and laughter flowing,
To think how fair in heavenly air,
The hearts beloved are growing.
No absence stirs our sadness;
For the crowned brow bends nearest now,
And glad with higher gladness
So the days may come and the days may 60,
With their sad or sunny weather,
But We needs must say, "rhank God, to-day,
We are all once more together!'
And the words shall soar into song. o
Loved
In the Home Of the ever living,
When the last light dies in our autumn
And your joy shines into our unsealed
eyes,
As we join the great "'rhanks- giving!
