Jolly Street is a noted place for a
gathering. The Sunday school pic
mic last Saturday was not an ex-
ception. There were about two ,1un-
dred and fifty people who seemed to
enjoy themselves very much. A stand
had been fixed in the grove near the
school house and Prof. w. P. Counts,
who is teaching a singing class at
ST. Paul's was present with his class
and rendered some very excellent mu
sic, suitable to the occasion, Miss
Anna Livingston acting as organist.
Rev. J. A. Sigh made an address
just before dinner which was listened
to with interest A synopsis of which
is given below.
"I am glad to see so many young
people present. I always liked to ad-
dress young people as the hope Of
our country will soon depend upon
them.
Il want to congratulate the neigh
borhood in having a Sunday school
and also in having singing class.
The Sunday school is the life of the
church and good singing is the life Of
BOTH We are so apt to spend our
money in the secular line of education
of our children and almost wholly
neglect their moral training.
Il am going to be plain in what l
say and may hurt some one, but |
don't think discourse is worth a
cent unless it hurts somebody's feel
ings. I want to tell you OF your
faults | want to tell you older peo-
pie over the shoulders OF the young.
You are yielding to your evil inclina-
tions and by yielding to sir you arc
forsaking God.
Il am going to divide what | say
into three sentences with the fol-
lowing letters: T for trial, H for
honor and H for honesty. My
young men and women ] want you
to be truthful: I want you to be hon
est. This is what the Sunday school
| is for. I am going to lay open your
faults. The man who shows you your
; faults is your best friend. Polish
your sins if you please, but God will
