Still Evergreen.

The Green Hill Presbyterian
Sabbath school still carries the
colors of an Evergreen S. S.
There have been secured for the
first quarter of the New Year the
finest and best lesson helps to
the study of the Bible lessons,
and the most beautiful literature
for home reading the school has
ever had. The work of the Home
Department is being pushed with
new life and vigor. 1t is no little
thing to keep Sabbath school in
the country districts open dur.
ing the winter months,-distan
muddy, slushy, .drifted
roads, changeable weather, cold
wind, rain, and snow storms, all
retard the work. But this school
keeps open the year round for
the following sufficient reasons ::
l. Because if a school hiber-
mates through the winter, it re-
quires so long after re.starting iu'
the spring to get the school back
to normal condition, and but lit.
tie growth is made during the
summer.
2. Because, if a school hiber-
mates during the winter months
the school and home get out of
tune. Interest in the school, it's
teachings, it's work, it's life-all be-
come dormant. The young people
in the homes get out of the line of
Gods appointed means of grace
and, if the weather and other
conditions are such that they can
get about at all, instead of going
to Sabbath school, they will go
skating, sleighing, buggy.riding
visiting or some other form of
pleasure.
3. Because if a school hiber-
mates during the winter months,
the most deplorable impressions
of all is made upon the young,
which lasts through life that the
Sabbath schools only for pleasant
sun-shiny days, and as they grow
to manhood and womanhood, they
will then regard every means of
grace and every good cause. A
Sabbath school can be held all the
year round IN any country, where
people live if there can be found
one man or woman, with an un-
dying zeal for the cause of Christ
