stead Of Saturday evening as was stated
in my last letter.
Mr.. Th0s. w. Gallman and wife and
two children visited their brother, Mr..
j. j. Gallman. last Sunday.
It's IL blessing to say the health Of
our community is very good at present.
According to what the Observer says
If you want to boom your candidate
you must she'll down. Well, This is
right. Whenever it comes to advcr
tising man in order TO put money in
his pocket he ought to he willing to
pay for It,
The grain is beginning to put on q
better appearance.
Haven't heard Of any corn being
planted yet, but suppose there will he
by the last Of this week.
The weather is just splendid, and
farm work is progressing.
| Tomorrow is Green Thursday. How
many can follow the old Dutch rule
and have something green to cook.
The fruit is all O. x. so far. Hope
that we will not only have bountful
crop, but earnestly trust that all 9th cr
crops will bring forth abundance. They
are so much needed.
We would have been very much
pleased to have been able to have at
| tended the State Snnday-school convon-
| tion which is being held in the city Of
Greenwood. We know the occasion
will be Il grand ono to all those who
feel an interest i'm this noble work.
DR.. w. E. Pelham, chairman State ex-
cxutivc committee, has spared no time
| in working up the convention to q high
plane. lie kindly gave me Il copy of
| the programme which shows that every
thing is very attractive and hclpfully
| prepared, showing that addresses will
be delivered by several of tho most
prominent and capable divincs and lay
men OF onr State. Very few people ap-
prcciate the fact that DR.. Pelham is
one of the most noble and enthusiastic
Sunday-school workers in our State
He spares no little Of his time and
means in this grand and noble work
The Holy One says, "If you love me,
feed my lambs" This is the mission
Of the Sunday which is spirit
ual home for them. 1t is truly the OBJ
ject OF the Sundays school to lead the
young children to Jesus, to labor for
their conversion, to ChristianiZe them.
We would like to say more about the
work Of the Sunday-school, but we
must pass on for this time by saying in
conclusion. May God continue to bless
not only DR.. Pelham, but all other CO.
workers of the Sunday school, and may
the time speedily come when oil the
children Of every nook and corner, both
in towns and counties, will be gathered
into the different Sunday-schools and
made to realize their sinfulncss and
| need Of Saviour.
Sad, but not unexpected, was the
death of Mrs. Henry Conklc. From
what we learn Mrs. Conkle had been
in quite lingering health for more than
a year, but only confined to her room
for about three months with that dread
full disease consumption. Last Satur-
day about two o'clock the summons
from God came and said, its enough
and that soul is now where yours and
mine will sson be, in the presence of an
unknown world. We have known the
deceased all our life and it is blessed
consolation, not only for me to say, but
for the bereavcd hus oand and children
to know, that she vas a noble hearted
Christian woman. On the morning be-
fore she died she called her husband
and children to her bedside and told
them to meet her in heaven. Oh what
a consolation, to feel that you have q
dear wife and mother in heaven. Yes,
Christian friends. if we want to die
right we must live right. Yes, dear
children, we know how hard it is to
give up mother, we passed through
this trial only about seven months ago.
A mothers love is the tenderest love
on EARTH and a child that would disrc-
gard or forsake its mother is worse than
an inidel. But still, amid all these
sorrows, what blessed hope and con-
ISOLATION to feel that you have wife
and mother in heaven. The deceased
was q member of Colony Evangelical
Lutheran Church, and her body was
laid to rest in the graveyard Of her dear
old church on Sunday following her
death, Rev. Matthias of St. Luke's
conducting the burial services. She
had lived So years and ID days. May
God comfort and strengthen the sur
viving broken hearted husband and
children and help them to live life
like their mothers. We should make
all tho sweetness and happiness out
of~life that we possibly can. But amid
all of this, one stroke after another of
sadnes continually beclouds our minds
and fills our hearts with gloom.
Quite sad, indeed, was the intell-
gence of the sad fate of young Hoyt
King, the son and step son of Mr. and
Mrs. DR.. 9. H. Armstrong. May God
have mercy upon the heartbroken mo.
