THE SETNSHINERS THIRD TRIP TO
BEAUFORT.
(By Marjory b. Terrell.) }

"Why is it that so many people wish
TO be walked at four o'clock this morn
ing?" This question flashed through
the minds of the telephone operators
and of the policemen who happened
to be on duty at that hour July 18th.
This was the eventful morning on
which the ''Sunshiners' We're 10 leave

Beaufort, n. G. No one but a sun
sinner can understand the thrill tnat
ran through each heart as the ray or

up to the door on that still Sabbath
afternoon to add one more trunk to
those already towering high above the
wagon top. No more We're groups OF
boys and girls with beaming faces to

for them, for anticipation would soon

The news of our approach seemed
to have been heralded all along the

miliar faces were recognized. In spite
of the early hour, when we reached

us. We We're especially fortunate in
seeing here one who had often been
with us in our meetings at home. and
who now kindly showed US the many
places of interest in the town. After
leaving Goldsboro. the rest of our way
seemed short. and soon the odor of
the salty air told us we We're nearing
the coast
1t was about twelve-thirty when we
were deposited, bag and baggage in
the hospitable town of Beaufort. Our
welcome there was nothing short Of
an ovation. A short walk from the
depot brought us to the Episcopal
Rectory. where the girls were to be
comfortably located. Not far from
here was the Armory, where the boys
were to find d home. We spent the
time before dinner in walking down
town, meeting old acquaintances. and
forming new ones. BY this time. our

table, which was built especially for

The Good and the Bad Trusts.

There were ninety and nine who
safely lay
In the shelter of the law.
But one had wandered and gone astray
When nobody cared or saw
Then what did the tender shepherd
Fare out in the night and cold
And search the desert and tempest
through
To bring it within the fold?
Not much. He lifted the great big
stick
Which served for crook to bust
And he dealt the ninety and nine a
lick
That laid them low in the dust.
And then from Washington's utmost

Where strenuous hearts were stirred
Ihere rose a cry from his faithful
friends:
