TRo farmers of this section, who have
for somo time beon doad-"not dead, but
sleepeth"-pm glad to note, are now
waking up to sonso Of their dIGy, and
gone to hauling rocl. and building up tho
gullies and spilling sand from tho upland
into their bottoms by way of ditohcs,
and supplying themselves with long
needed farming tools.

Our Sunday school at this place is
thriving and showing tho fruits of the
faithful workers who have shown by
their daily walk what they arc and whom
thoy are living for, not for themselves,
but for tho upbuilding of others. Tho
man who lives for himself bcqueaths his
own folly, poverty and meanncss for his
monument. Ho has benefited nobody,
while ho has dwarfed and warped his
marble, however lavishly supplied to
mark his resting place, docs him no
honor. 1Io has lived in himself, ho has
died i'll himself, and all that ho leaves in
memory of himself speaks no word of
praise in his behalf, no word of justifica-
ton. This is no true life. It's tho worst
of failures. There are glorious opport,,-
mites in this life for service. Ho who
uses them as our superintendent has
cnriches both his race and himself, when
dying leaves monument which outlasts
marble and is brighter than polished
brass. If Sunday school members were
as anxious to harmonic as they arc
sometimes solicitous to disagree and
produce friction, how smoothly and
beautifully would tho machinery of tho
Ship of Zion roll on. Let us study tho
things that make for peace, the things
whereby we may edify ono another Lot
us cndeavor to create as littlu friction as
possible whore we arc called to labor and
spend our days. Lot us try and buildli
and not tear down Though VIC may hnvo
hnt few days Or months 10 labor in
field, let us do our best to all, and leave
unto tho Lord tho rest. FARMER boy.
