The explanation of the Sunday
School Lesson every Saturday evening
at O'Clock by Rev. d. w. Davis is be-
coming more and more interesting and
those of the Sunday School Teachers
who do mot attend the class cannot
imagine or appreciate the necessity of
attending this well studied explana-
tiOn. Free to all.
The Women's Auxiliary, Mrs. Hester
Williams, president, certainly per-
forms great deal by the way of help
ing the Association to meet its de-
mands. We certainly hope hat the
day is not fer distant when every
mother and father will see the impor-
tance of supporting this work erected
for the benefit OF their sons and daugh
ters.

WORD Alb UT OUR NIGHT SCHOOL.
Among the various departments OF
the Young Mems Christian Association
which are helpful and beneficial the
Night School holds an important place.
From October to May, we find large
number of men and women busily en-
gagged in seeking knowledge. The sue
cess OF the school and pupils have been
both gratifying and encouraging.
The school is under the direction OF
Prof. B. II. Peyton, as principal, and
Miss Belle Fitzhugh, as teacher and
Miss Columbia Willisms as assistant
teacher. The session just closed was
successful in every respect. though
near the close of it we had two obsta-
cles TO over come: Our principal
Prof. B. II. PeytOn, was called from
the city on very important business
and our General Secretary, Rev. s. G.
Burrell, was taken sick a short time
previous. Our Secretary was taken i'll
at once and re mained so for several
weeks; but we are thankful to say at
this writing he is improving and we
hope soon to see him at his post of du.
ty again.
Just at the time we thought that the
school would have to cease, providen.
italy, Prof, T. H. Wyatt, workers in
the Association and an old teacher in
the Night School, returned to the citv
from his field of labor and took charge
OF the school. Under his directions
we we're enabled to finish the session
and had a successful closing
All of our teachers are faithful, kind
and good. ALI who desire some learn
ing should begin at our Night School
and especially those who have to work
during day.
We feel safe in saying that those who
will avail themselves OF the golden op-
portUnity will never regret it, but on
the other hand will find themselves
helped in many ways. Our next ses-
sion will commence in October. Look
and wait for the date. II we want to
be useful men and women in the fu-
ture we must drink from the spring Of
knowledge in the present.
