 About eight years ago today
 A Sunday school was formed,
 Ana 1T the sun shine bright and clear Or if there is storm,
 Your superintendent will be here And faithful teachers too,
 And all the faithful officers
 And pupils not few.
 This school began with just l3 About eight years ago
 But stop and think, just look and see, How fast this school does grow. Outside the little cradle roll There is about 10 score,
 And 30 in the cradle roll
 And yet there is room for more. And if this building gets so full There is no room inside
 There is house not made with hands Where souls are Sanctified. That Heavenly home is never full, But always room for more That love the Lord with all their
 heart
 And God and Christ adore. So faithful ones go labor on And when your work is OCT May we all meet in Heaven above On that bright, happy shore. Your faithful superintendent And faithful teachers too And officers and pupils
 Have made thiS SchoOl tO orou From thirteen to one hundred, From one hundred to ten score, And still the Master IS calling And yet there is room for more. Perhaps before eight years shall pass The Lord may call you home, Then may you hear that welcome Well done, Well done, We'll done." And when you reach that Heavenly With stars upon your crown Will you regret the good you've done In such a lawlesS town? Just take this little nursery Away from Hotchkissyille, And where would these dear children
 go
 No tongue or pen can tell, " 1UuOuU 0Ou UlOSSluk Ou our lana We should like heathen be. Without a sacrifice for sin 71, How could our souls be free? This little union praying band Has spread like bay tree Or like the righteous who serve God And from their sins are free. A few more years shall pass away few more seasons come, A nd yUo c1ol1 I,o xui+h kkoco %Lc+ ~..A Asleep within the tomb. Then may these children here to-day Be taught in wisdom's ways A nd when the adults all are gone May they still sing and pray. And may Heavens blessings on you
 rest, As you meet on Gods day To worship and to serve the Lord, To teach and sing and pray. And when the stars shall cease to | md earth shall pass away May we be found in Heaven above With those that sang and prayed. )h what union that will be When we are all at home, With saints and with angels and with |
 Christ Who sits upon throne. Then work on, toll on, faithful ones, -Four work will soon be OCT Ind if you are faithful to the end You will land on Canaan's shore.
 Next Sunday the school will be re- organized and the majority hope to re- ain the same faithful and efficient uperintendent, Frank R. Ford, of North Woodbury, whom they have lad for the past eight years.
