Lands Chapel.

Well, | viii tell you something more
about this place. Lands Chapel is not
postoffice address. 1t is only the
name of little school house that has
been built at this place. There are
many Lands in this community and
that is why this little place goes by the
name of Lands Chapel There are
thirty by the name Of Land in this
neighborhood.
Mr.. and Mrs. jess Land are the
grand parents of As children, 40 living
8 dead.
Every body seems to be enjoying life
at this place If they are not enjoy
ing this life | cannot tell you why.
Life is only what we make it and if
we make our lives unhappy we will
live unhappy. SO let us strive for
peace and if we live at peace with the
Lord, our God, our lives will be hap
py. Without the love of the Lord Jes-
us Christ in our hearts we would be at
loss, not knowing what we should do
or say that would be for the best, but,
thank God we have guiding spirit
If it is the will of our God Rev. J.
L. White will preach for us on the Bird
Saturday and Sunday in this month,
and as we only have preaching once a
month hope the people who gather at
the house of prayer and worship of the
Lord at Land Chapel, will not be dis
turbed by certain young man of Dun
lap. Kind friends, we would be glad
for you to come to our chapel to hear
the gospel preached if you would leave
those books and beautiful pictures at
home with your mother. What great
shame is it to the people of earth who
gather at the house of the Lords wor-
ship, thinking that they might see
some one that they could have lively
time with and enjoy the pleasures Of
this life. May the great mercies Of
God rest upon those dear ones. The
time is coming for us all and If we are
not prepared for heaven at the Mas
ter's call, oh where will we spend
eternityY Down, down in lost world,
in lake of fire, which never will be
| quenched. May God help us all to es-
cape those burning flames. Although
we may have many trials and tempta-
lions in this life yet we should not let
those things discourage us on our pill
| grimage from earth to Glory. Temp
tations are only the tryings of our
faith, and if we are faithful to the end
we will receive that crown Of life that
is laid up for us above.
Just word to s'Texas Wanderer. -
If you are servant of the Lord, by
His help, we will greet each other on
that bright and happy shore, and
dwell with Christ forever more. Al
though we live at distance and you
ne'r see, on the banks of sweet Canaan
acquainted we will be. There all
things are plenty and heavens grow
ing green, and the parting of Christ
ians no more to be seen. May those
words be a great comfort to the hearts
of all christian people and help you tx
strive for that heavenly land and there
be among the angel band.
In the dear old village church yard
There / see messy mound,
And there my mother sleeping
| In the cold and silent ground.
Gently waves the weeping willow;
Birds they MARBLE songs at dawn,
For there's no one left to love me
Since my mothers dead and gone
Oft | stray into the church yard
| Flowers to plant with tender care
For there's no one left to love me
Since my mother dead and gone
was young but / remember
Well the night my mother died,
And watched her spirit fading,
When she called me to her side,
Saying, Darling, must leave you
Angels voices call me on,
Pray that we may meet in heaven,
Where the tolls of life are o. r. !"
Oft stray into the church yard
Flowers to plant with heart forlorn
On the grave of my dear mother,
Darkness finds me weeping there,
Looking at the skies above me,
Waiting for the heavenly dawn,
For there's no one left to love me
Since my mothers dead and gone
Oh, my father he's in heaven,
And my sisters, too, / know,
And there's no one left to love me,
, Since my mothers dead and gone
Now, kind friends, will you remem
Der
That I'm left on earth alone,
And there's no one left to love me
Since my mothers dead and gone
Oft | stray into the church-yard,
There | kneel upon my knees
Ger the grave of my dear mother,
Who died long years ago. E.LANI
