Sunday School Convention

An open letter to all Officers
and Teachers and older pupils of
all schools in Henderson County.
If you read your county papers
you will have learned that you,
as representatives of your schools
and as servants of the Lord
Jesus Christ have been called to
meet in convention in Hender-
sonville, at $3.50 a. M, SATURDAY.,
Nov. 20, in the Baptist Church.
You may not know that your
county Henderson, had Ia, 1O5
residents nine years ago when
the census was taken.
No man knows how many of
these are saved; and it can never
be known until the Christian
workers begin to hold conventions
and plan to work together to-
wards winning for the Lords
Kingdom every resident.
It is probable there are 5000
or more lost people in this county.
If the balance are Christians
in name it is probable that less
than 500 are daily Bible readers;
that less than 100 know what it
means to be a Christian-born
anew and livingSin the family of
the father-know it we'll enough
to help others,into the life that
is in Christ Jesus.
If there are 100 knowing what
the Bible teaches a Christian to
be, and able to win others, it is
probable that less than SO are
seriously working at soul win
ming, although they are assured
of the company of the Lord all
the days" while they are obeying
him in the matter.
Now these probabilities are
not suggested to make you mad,
but to start sober Thoughts. If
they are near the mark, do you
not need to comeStogether to
what others are doing in the
work of teaching and winning
and to confer about what
you may begin to do?
Do you know how, much easier
folks may be taught through the
EYE (using a sblackboard) than

H%ENDERSONVLLE'S
WATER SUPPLY

The report of the State Chem.
lst of North Carolina, which ap-
pears below, stating that this
towns water supply is pure and
without pollution, is gratifying
and should set at rest the false
and alarming rumors sent out by
some misinformed person or per
sons, from Hendersonville last
Summer.
These reports were calculated
to do this resort the greatest in
jury. They were grossly and
wickedly exaggerated. In fact
SO absurdly exaggerated that
they were stamped on their very
face as being untrue. Still a lie
travels fast, and The Hustler
has letters from admirers
Hendersonville, who are now in
the South, repeating these alb
surdlties and urging that the
city authorities take some imme-
date action to set them at rest
forever.
If some such action is not
taken, at once, the town will be
not less than 500, 900
next Summer!

sition Of a temporary juror, Joseph

The morning session Of court was
mainly occupied with a discussion be-
