children are there from Georgia,

ce1ve all gifts and forward the
amount to Rev. w. A. Huckabee, the

IL O'Clock service, and with that end
in view letter, of which the follow
ing is copy, will be mailed to each
member urging attendance. The SER

helpful. The letter says:
I'VE want to meet every member
of the Dawson Baptist church next
Sunday at the II o'clock service in
one grand reunion. Will you not
come? May the Lord lay His hand
upon everyone of us, and put us to
work in His kingdom. Wouldn't it
be beautiful and inspiring sight If
we could see every single member
present at every service, when it is
possible for them to come. When we
look at the influences at work around
us our very hearts burn within us to
see the cold Indifference and neglect
on the part of Gods church members
and professed followers of Christ
Beloved, let us awake, and go tie
work for the sake of our children,
our neighbors' children and our
friends who are wandering away.
To some of us the day is far

us stop, mediate, and consider the

must meet it in the Masters name.
