l
apply them to our own especial needs.
| can truthfully say that l have gained
some ideas about Sunday.school teaching
that hope will be help to me when the
time comes for me to take my place again
in our little Sunday-school at home. OF
course, we have the privilege of going to
church twice a day. Rev. d. Emory
| Hawk, who was a classmate and friend of
Bro. Will, gives US good spiritual sermons.
In addition to this we have a missionary
society which meets once a month. But
all this does not take the place of the quiet
hours alone with God, and here we miss
that. 1t is seldom that can find time
to be entirely alone.
1t will make this letter too long if tell
you about my work in music, so l VIII
postpone that, but l feel that l cannot
close this letter without saying something
about the Literary society. The Johnston
ian Literary Society meets every Saturday
evening in the literary hall. The programs
80 far have been interesting and instruc'
tive. They usually consist of readings, es'
says, music, etc. Some subject of general
interest is taken and thoroughly discussed.
l hope to derive great deal of pleasure
and benefit from the society.
The gymnasium is now we'll organized.
| have been appointed to play the gym
nasium marches for my class every third
week. As have never had any expert
ence Of this kind, l may not be able to
play satisfactorily and in that CAGE, of
course, shall be removed, but | am more
than glad of an opportunity to get some
experience in playing marches.
1t is desired that we read the Bible
through, and five other books, during the
year, have made good start on the
Bible and am reading"Lady Of the Lake"
My mathematics keeps me too busy for
much reading.
/ think you will find this very clear
summary of the work l have undertaken
and also of the general features of the col
lege.
Oct. II, 1901. writing the above
two very interesting pleasures have broken
our common routine.
The first is the citizens drive, which
took place Monday afternoon, Oct. 7. The
business men of the town brought their
STANDARDIZATION in cumberland took
the school and faculty for three hours
drive about the town and vicinity. Many
of the carriages were tastefully decorated
with the college colors lavender and
whlte) and all were provided with delicious
fruit, candy, etc. Such turnout speaks
well for the hospitality of Ceveland's cltl'
zens and it is needless to say anything
about how much it is appreciated by the
school.
The second important event to relate Is
our TIP to Chattanooga. Miss Duncan
took ffty-eight Of us down Friday evening,
OCT. IL. We arrived In the city about Z
o'clock. BY previous arrangement hacks
met us at the depot ami we were driven to
the Southern Hotel THIS is an elegant
house and dinner of six courses awaited
US. Before retiring We spent a while in
the parlors, where some of the company
received visitors.
We were called at five next morning,
and by the time we had finished breakfast
the hacks, with handsome horses and
skilled drivers, were waiting to take us for
drive about the many points of interest
near the CITY. We went first through the
National cemetery, where rest 1886 SOL
.Giers who lost their lives in the Civil War,
besides many who were killed in the Span
ish-American War. The most interesting
thing 10 this cemetery is monument to
the memory of Andrews Raiders. 1t is
large marble block with an engine on top
of it.
FROM the cemetery we went to Orchard
Knob and thence to Missionary Ridge.
We drove for long distance along the
crest of this historical mountain. The
Stars and Stripes were raised just as we
came in sight of the observation tower on
the summit. We halted at this for while.
Near the tower is the beautiful Illinois
monument and the cedar tree to which
Bragg hitched his horse.
From Missionary Ride the procession
moved rapidly on toward Chicamauga
Park. Among the many beautiful things
here the most beautiful is the Georgia
monument. The Kentucky monument is
also very beautiful and that of Minnesota
cannot be passed without mention. Many
of the young ladies went to the top Of the
tower on Snodgrass Hill, but when |
looked at the long, steep stairway my ell
ergy failed me.
From the Park we went to Lookout
Mountain. On the way we stopped at
Ross's Spring for lunch. Though this
point is nine miles from Chattanooga, the
proprietor of the Southern Hotel met US
with an elegant iunch-fried chicken,
ham, ssrdines, cheese, bread, crackers,
eggs, bananas, grapes, etc. We rested on
A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
