Bro. Porter did nearly all the preach
ing for the congregation for the first
IL or ~ years, though he was ut differ
ent times assisted by Bros. John Polly,
w. u. Fisk, G. K. Brown, j. G. Sevey. and
possibly others. These brethen gener-
ally assisted in protracted meetings.
During the time Bro. Porter was
preaching for this congregation, though
never employed by it for more than ha II
MS time, many were added to the
church. We never had EMPLOYED a
preacher for more than half his time I'M
til Bro. A. B. Cornell came among us a
little over year ago.
According to the records which were
not always accurately kept, the whole
number of persons who have been mem.
oers OF the congregation is AL. OF this
number, l46 are now members, 9S have
been dismissed by letter, 50 have died
while members Of the church, Is have
Withdrawn and of the remaining 175,
many have removed to other parts OF
the country without asking for letters:
some have united with other religious
bodies and others have forgotten their
love for the church and neglected their
house OF worship. The greatest number
or additions in any one year was in 1874
when "a united with the church.
AS stated before until within the past
four or five years Bro. Porter did most
OF the preaching for the congregation

One year ago last January Bro. A. r.
Cornell began his work here and since
then has labored zealously with us in

Cornells ability it is unnecessary for us

During his labors "a have been added
to the church. OF these three or four
have proven themselves unworthy. In
addition to the regular Lords Day SER
vice and Wednesday evening prayer
meetings, regularly on Tuesday evening
OF each week the young sisters of the
church have held prayer meetings. We
would commend this example to others.
Brethren, in making this imperfect
review OF the past history OF the church
we find many things to encourage us,
others from which we should take warn
ing. Let us heed we'll the lessons to be
learned and go forward in the good
work, taking courage from the success
sor OF our predecessors and trying to
avoid the rocks upon which they some
times struck. Let us never lay aside
the christian armor; but 'Let us lay
aside every weight and the sin that
doth so easily beset us; looking unto
Jesus the author and finisher of our
faith for who the joy that was set before
him, endured the cross, despising the
shame and set down at the right hand
of the throne of Cod"

Taken with cramps.

VIM. Kirmse, amember of the bridge
gang working near LittlepOrt, was taken
suddenly i'll on Thursday night with
cramps and O kind of cholera. His case
was 90 severe that he had to have the
members of the crew wait upon him,
and'Mr. Clifford was called and consult
ed. He told them he had a medicine in
the form of Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrlloea Remedy that he
thought would help him out, and ac-
cordingly several doses were admins
tered, with the result that the fellow
was able to be around next day. The

Jonathan Morris Reeves. aged two

Jonathan Morris Reeves, aged twn
years and four months, died in McComb
City, Miss, at the home of his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. T. j. Reeves.
Little Morris was the grandson of the
late j. l.. Morris. of O~DelOusas, La, and
the only son of Il. j. Reeves and Carrie
Morris. He was born at Garland, St.
Landry parish. La, Feb. 10, 1902, and in
January. 1908, moved to McComb City,
Miss, when he was eleven months old.
Little Morris was the pride of his pa
rents hearts. and although he had be-
come a delicate child, that hope that is
always ours. and the home care that
was daily and hourly given him, togetll-
or with the medical attention from the
best physicians OF McComb. all e to
sayt that iere long Little Morris will be
well. With the marked intellect that
he possessed. the energy OF both body
and mind, and the sweetness and gen.
tleness of face and disposition, all made
him a very attractive child, M to be
loved and cherished. But God saw
best, and has called little Morris home,
and now that he is there. heaven seems
brighter and dearer than ever before,
though the earthly home is sad aud dea
olate and "a gloom hangs over every
thing, and the hearts of father. mother
and sisters cry out with grief over the
loss of their darling little one. y y .
