The members and officers of the Oak
Dale Sunday School, held at District
school house No. 5, Brogden township,
in your news columns for a report OF
their annual Rally Day Exercises Civ
en- on the afternoon of the 18th of Sept.
from 3 to 6 p. m.
It will be remembered by those who
participated as one of the great days
in their young lives. It will also add
to the interest of the public, and es-
pecially those of our County Sunday
School Association who have become
acquainted with our work at Oak Dale,
to learn that there are among our
officers, teachers, and students, those
of the faith of the Primitive Baptist,
Free Will Baptist, Missionary Baptist,
Methodist, Episcopal, Christian ard
Friends churches, and perhaps others.
Despite the fact that there has been
quite an epidemic of fever for several
months the school has kept its own
very well. The sick has been visited
and their needs looked after and when
any financial aid has seemed to pre-
sent an open doc by which the most
ed, we are glad our people willingly
gave and by so doing have fulfilled
their part.
I'm as much as ye have done it I'M
to one of the least of these my brethren
We have done it unto Me-"
A short was arranged as
follows:

Some recitations had to be omitted
on account of sickness.
In appropriate language Professor
McWhorter, superintendent Of the
Mount Olive Graded schools enter
tanned us for a while. 1t was encourage
ing to the officers to have him cheer
and life's work is real and that their
work here is not child's play, but a
grand work is being done by noble,
ernest workers, who for the good they
hope to accomplish do willingly sacri-
flee their other pleasures, and find in
their work in the sunday school the
pleasure of doing ernest1y and faith
fully that which God giveth them to
do.
Our friend reminded US of the edu-
cational value of Sunday school rain
ing as we'll as the moral and spiritual.
The influence lives on and On in the
lives of the boys and girls when they
grow to be men and m
May we take courage from our
friends cheering words from the real
ization of duties well lone and the
God given strength for each day as it
| comes and just work on in love and
good ground.
Prof. McWhorter gave us an inn
pressive story: Some rich man had
put an immence sum of money in q
magnificent building for an educa-
tional institution. He told a friend OF
his that if one boy was saved thereby
he should feel that the money was
we'll spent. The other thought one
boy wasn't worth SO much, but the
great educator said eff it was my boy
I should think him worth it," So L
may not be the child of the man wht
builds college walls hat Oak Dale
Sunday school in influence but will
the cooperation Of the community o
parent and patience, the destiny ant
character OF the child may be moulded
for good.
The picnic supper was nicely served
and much enjoyed.
The Sunday school wishes to han
all for the kindness shown them, an,
especially the speaker and merchant
of Dudley, Messrs Bowden. Griffin
O'Berry and Massey for their libel
! ality in furnishing a treat OF Lemonad
, for the children of which they dram
/ to their hearts content.
