Mr.. EDITOR;
The shower that came on while the gal
liant O'Ferrall still held the platform at
Winchester on the 9Th could not but avail
for our dispersion.
1t was profitable service to gather thus
to recall the associations of the past, but
the future beckons US on. This year we are
happy in having for the six months COM
meucing with July, the Fifth Gospel for
special study, and the shower may be said
to have acted like a signal from above
d" For the living to the dead ?" To the Cos
pei and the victory over death, and when
that of Isaiah is counted first, that of John
will come to be known as the Fifth.
With Sunday, July 9th, will open for all
of this Lower Valley of Virginia who mus
ter to the call of the Scripture leaAet, the
unique introduction to the Gospel of John.
BY the time we have, in September, reached
in the Chapter xi the story of Lazarus and
the message of his sisters and the sequel,
we will be in a position to guess why the
spices in the hands of the daughters have
given place to roses. True, down to Chap
ter XXI, the spices hold their ground, but
from the first, the daughters of the Confed-
eracy have come laden with flowers, and
flowers have not yet been found superAuous
as che spices were.
