Sunday Singing Conventions.

MIR. EDITOR: / write to ask ia it not
time that something should be said, and
some action taken, about Sunday Sing
ing Conventions, or gatherings? Good
Christian men and women favor and
patrOniZe them but It Is believed they do
so without duo consideration. The Sab
beth day should he strictly kept holy.
.Remernbcr the Sabbath day to keep it
holy" is Il plain and positive command.
II should DO used alone for sacred and
holy purposes. such as preaching the

"wise unto salvation" No regular
Church organization, in it's business
meetings, uses the day in any other way,
as Associations, PresbyterIes, Confer
ences, etc Why should Singing Con-
that at these meetings the Sabbath is de-
voted to praise service. But does not
every one know that the leading object is
to teach and practice music? And ia IL
not also known that the singing is not ac-
companied with the spirit Of prayer and
few who may endeavor to do 40? These
Conventions draw large, and often ir-
reverant, crowds from q considerable die.
tance around, and tho day is spent more
like picnic than anything else. How
often was the question asked, awhile
back, after ono of these meetings, Did
you attend tho Sunday picnic at -?
Again, these Conventions, on the holy
Sabbath day, RIB the different Churches
around Of their usual congregations and
thereby weaken their influence and use
fitness.
The writer recently worshipped with a
sister Church, and was much surprised at
the small congregation present. The
reason was there was singing not far off,
and the people had gone there. So the
pF1a0h5T had &C Fresc!; The gospel, ~h;ci;
is the power alone Of God unto salvation,
to only few hearers. Not long since the
colored people had big singing. on Sun

single road 1t must have been huge az

sociation or Campmeeting.
After careful observation Of years Il IL
no longer question whether the evils Of
exceed the good. On pretty much the
same ground the writer does not favor
"Children's Day" on the Sabbath, except.
where in quiet way. one Sunday SER
vice OF the Church in year are devoted
to the childrsn-the preaching, praying,
singing, etc.
Now, let it he fully understood that
this scribe is not in the least opposed to
Singing Conventions and Chiidren's Day,
but highly in favor of both. but for the
sake Of that 'day the Lord calls His own"
and commands us to strictly keep, let
them be held on week days alone. Years

In MemOriam.

On the fifth day OF October, 1897, Lewis
Mahaffey, the six-months-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Il. G. Banister, Of Crayton, was
snatched by deaths angel from the arms
of his parents almost without warning.
At sunset on the fourth the bright little
boy was wsii, cheerful and full OF life
all that we could wish-but suddenly he
was seized with cholera infantum, and
ere tine sun arose on the fifth his spirit
had taken its everlasting flight. On
April the sixth God gave these parents
two little ones to love and care for and to
be Joy in the household. Oh, what a
pleasure this .ittie boy and girl have
been. But, oh! how sad that they must
30 soon be separated. Grieye not, fond
parents. for little Lewis has only gone be-
fore. God knows what is best and does
all things we'll. The striken family have
the sympathies OF the entire community.
The remains were inferred at Bethany on
the following day, tho funeral soxVioes
having been conducted by Rev. N. Mo
Gee.
Weep not, dear parents, dry your tears,
For you shall see in after years
How God In love has took him home
To live with him TIL you shall come.
