Interesting S. s. Glass.

The Sun Rise Sunday school,
northwest Of this city, is one of the
best in the county, and is the larg-
est in attendance outside the
towns. The number enrolled is
125 and at the last session 81 were
in attendance. Judge Carter has a
most interesting class of Is or 20
grown persons, and they make
him study his lesson, too, to keep
up with them. Miss Minnie Pow
ell has an interesting class of
young men. They are regular IN
attendance and are attentive and
thOroly organized. Buford Hen
derson is president; Estell DaveE-
port, treasurer, and Harry Cook.
Marvin Carter, Connie Johnson
and Joe Wakefield constitute a
lookout committee, to pick up
new members and to look after
the general interests Of the class.
A number of other classes are
also doing fine work.
The day has come when men
and women don't get so grown
up any more that they think they
must quit the Sunday school. At
Sun Rise everybody goes To
Bible school, and it is going to
make for the betterment of that
community.

A Prayer.

Many of Bean Creek neighbOr-
hood, this county, will not soon
forget the late lamented G. B. Will
bingham, of that locality. He had
special pride in his home church,
Gilead Baptist church. He was
charter member. Here is his last
public prayer for the church,
caught in shorthand by one of his
admiring friends:
Our Father, we come before
Thee, asking that Thou wouldst
bless us this night and would be
with us through all our trials and
temptations. Bless these new con-
verts who have so lately enlisted
in the cause. Make them conse-
Grated soldiers of the Cross; make
them as newborn babes in Thy
sight, and, o Lord, bless our dear
brother as he shall attempt to
speak to us tonight. Draw near
unto the sinner tonight. Make them
see the light in which they stand.
Father. we thank Thce for the
many blessings that Thou dost con
stantly bestow upon us. We feel
that it is Thy influence that has
made this little meeting success,
for if it were not for Thy presen-
ce we would have been beating the
air in despair o Lord, bless and
