We are sorry that circumstances
were such that kept us from attending
tho Sunday picnic at Mt. Pill

much pleasure to attend such gather

pleasure. Notwithstanding wc were
absent, we were represented just the

Chips, who were present, to give the
old man some outlines of the day. They
| report that the speeches and rccita-
| tions were nobly delivered and the
| dinner was another one Of those re-
| pasts such us arc usually furnished by
the good people Of this surrounding
| country, who never fail to b0untcously
| supply the inner man, and that DR.. S.
| ~. IInllman's speech was nothing more
| than 1t always is-full Of interest and
| divine truth. But moro than all, my
| my old friend Kay was present and
with his ringing voice and in his clo-
qucnt style he told Of tho good works
OF the Sundny-school. Kay Is faith
ful worker In the Sunday-sch0ol and
also in The church and he deserves
credit for living to that end that say
eth, study for Improvement rather than
amusement. Oh, God, that the hours
OF every human being could be applied
In this way! What q blessing to hu-
mainly IL would be! Before | pass on
let mo say word further to Kay. Old
brother, after ] heard your faithful
pastor, DR.. Ilnllman, preach Mrs.

truths as fall from the lips Of this bless
ed old soldier Of tho cross you arc let
ting the best opportunity Of your life
slip.
