ENTHCSItSTIC SUNDAY SCHOOL,.
Fine Work Being Done by the Flour.
ishing Sunday School Of O'Neall
Street Church.

SlEeeC CuuEcIs
Editor The Herald and News: be-
l'eve it will do the public good to
lAknow that Newberry has at ONeall
Street church an enthusiastic Sunday
school. In the beginning I remind
you that on last Sunday we had very
gloomy morning, so much so that it
wollI have prevented most people
fr IN attending any kind Of services.
I will give you a few figures, which
will best show the interest that is be-
l. ing taken by our people. AS dark and
threatening as the weather was, there
: were two hundred and ten scholars
fourteen officers and six visi-
tors.
+ is really worth the time of any
one to come over and see the bright
>and cheerful countenances of so many
handsome children; and the school
is not composed entirely of children
There are quite a good number of men
and lovely women who belong and
nlattend regularly. For instance, we
ave one hundred and seven adult
embers of No. II class, taught by
Sother Archie Bouknight, composed
men of all ages from eighteen to
ty-fve. Archie is not gifted with
rery tounged oratory like I have
ened to, but a better Sunday school
cher can not be found. He lives
life that he is trying to. teach his
SIS to live, and the enthusiasm he
eibits in a gentle and loving, way
Bresses one with the earnestness
only characterizes few such men
Archie Bouknight-
Ee have, I think, the banner Sun
- school of the county and our aim
when the Sunday school convention
Its this summer at Helena to carry
the banner. We have money on
&d to relieve those who are suffer-
ing aud need help. Brother James
LAWS is chairman of the relief COM
mittee with instructions $o see that
no one in our neighborhood suffers.
/ We have as chairman of our social
committee Brother J. e. Franklin and
Brother W. T. Moss Of our attendance
committee, whose business is to see
that everybody comesi and if any
should stay away he will find the rea-
son why and bring them next time.
Brother J. T. Zimmerman is chairman
. Of the wi1e-awake committee, whose
duty is to go out in che highways and
hedges and bring in new members.
" The press reporter is your humble
servant, who is only sorry that he is
I not able to paint a pen picture of so
noble school as we have.
Brother W. c. Bouknight is our no
, ble' superintendent, and it is wonder
! full how he schemes various ways to
keep the school interested. It has
been his custom for several years to
have a Christmas tree or something
else that would interest the school.
. This year he had a Sunday school
postofice, which proved to be very
interesting. All the small children got
presents given by the school and
- many of the older ones got something
from the postoffce, given by , some
! friend.
I think the best thing the Sunday
school has done was to take upon it.
self the support of little orphan
girl from the orphan home in Column
bia. We appointed committee of two
of our beautiful and accomplished
young ladies to go to Columbia to the
orphan home and select the child that
we are going to support and bring her
up on. Christmas, that the school
might see her, and they did go, and
the selection was perfectly satisfac1
tory, as she was indeed sweet little
= girl. ~
Come over some. Sunday morning at
10 O'Clock and see what we are doing.
It will do you good.
Respectfully, o-~-.. -,
J. H~~C6appell.
