A notice appeared in the Moss Point
items last week to the effect that
there were six accessions to the Sun
day-school last Sunday, two children
baptized and two received into the
church. What Sunday-school? What
church? There are three Protestant
churches and Sunday-schools in Moss
Point, though the author of the abov,
mentioned item does not seem to b,
aware Of the fact. X.
In Our Moss Point column Of las
week the account Of the second quar-
terly conference Of the Methods
church was inadvertently split int
two paragraphs, that instead of fol
lowing each other were separated AM
made to appear as belonging to differ
ent subjects. The accessions to TIN
Sunday-school, baptisms and mem
bers received should have been cred
tied to the Methodist church.
