PLEASANT HILL.

Speeidi 10 The Mas.
As have not heard anything from
this place for long time l viii give
a few dots.
There are several around here yet
sick with the measles and some with
fever and good many deaths in this
vicinity Hope they were all prepared
to meet the death angel when 1T came.
We are having good prayer meet
ing at this place, conducted by Bros.
Minter, Morrison and Releford. All
seem to be interested. | hope great
good may be accomplished by 1T.
They also have prayer meeting at
Pleasant Grove, Bros. Minter ana
Hitchings conducting. We need Just
such meetings in our community TO
stir up the people. | think we need
more of Christ's christianity and less
Of mans. Christ says BE ye holy,
for also am holy And again He
says, without holiness no man shall
see the Lord. SO we are in deplora,
BILE condition if we do not observe and
do His will, and keep His command
ments. There are some in every com
munity who profess to be christians.
Well, | don't know, but ! think true
christian should walk uprightly. but
there are pious frauds, and | think the
pious fraud is worse than anything
except liar | would rather have
thief in my house than a liar, for the
good book tells me that all such shall
have their part in the lake that burns
with fire and birthstone, and In read
ing our Sundays lesson 1t ought TO
remind us about how to raise our child
rem. We see how Rebecca and Jacob
managed to cheat Esau out of his
birthright Just like some do today.
They used deceit and reaped decep5
ton. 1t will ever be thus that when
anyone does a wrong their sins Will be
found out. If mothers would train
their children in the way they should
go, when they get old they will not
depart from it. They may forget for
time but after while they will come
back. Soloman was a very good man,
though he did some things not right,
but at last came back to God. so let
us all do the very best we can, and
there is not anyone who reads the BIZ
BILE but knows just what God says and
means, and may God help us all to live
very close to Him, not only OF Sundays
but daily and hourly, at home and ev-
erywhere, is my prayer.
will just say to "Wild Bill there
were three of us in Mr.. Smith s turnip
patch picking green's when wild Bill
came in selling salve. Now, say, did
not the hot water run out of your
mouth for the want of some greens?
Now, "Wild Bill, >" just come over and
l will take you to big patch of turn
Ups for there is nothing / like better
than greens, unless it is a persimmon
pudding, and they are sure fine.
was going to see the sick yesterday
and saw Walter Dame laying off some
corn ground He will be the first one
to have early corn. Walter is a hust-
Ter and a good young man. | also saw
Will Colston on his mule headed for a
dance.
Miss Nancy Releford, who has been
very sick, is now convalescing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Deits, Mrs. Gerren
and granddaughter, Mamie Gerren,
went to the lock and dam one day last
week. They are getting along very
we'll there
John Trimear has given all of his
children away. 1t is a pity to separ,
ate children. It looks too much like
slave time when the negroes were sold
from one another. | don't say be sold
his children, he just gave them away.
