Mr.. Barnett used the argument
with Highway Commissioner

through Shade Gap and Orbisonla
had a railroad and that the route
through Hustontown, would serve
a large numoe of farmers that
were practically excluded from
better facilities.

WATERFALL.

lilies in Christian Work.

April 5.-We are pleased to note
the large number who turned out
to see and hear the new preacher,
Rev. Chas. Weise, who came to
us from the Rays Hill charge.
He preached his initial sermon at
Zion M. f. Church, Sunday eve.
nlng, April 2nd from the text;
"God is a sun and a shield, and
no good thing will he withhold
from them that serve him." Rev.
Weise comes to this charge high.
ly recommended; and be bespeak
for HIM the hearty support and
co operation of the entire Three
Springs charge for the current
year.
At the close Of the sermon the
following officers were elected
for the Zion Sunday school: Su-
perlntendent, Geo. w. Barnett;
Asst. Supt., Chas. Alloway; Sec
retary, Miss Myrtle Barnett;
Asst. Sec, Roy Cutchall; Libra.
rams Miss Ruth Cunningham and
Roy Cutchall; Treas. G.. W. Bar
metz; Organist, MISS Ethel Thorn.
as. Rev. Welse spoke earnestly
of the Importance of this branch
of church work, and urged the
hearty support of every member
of the church. 1t is to be regret.
ed that there are few people
good citizens, and faithful TO
their church vows in many ways
that have not been yet fully
awakened to the great work they
could help TO do if they took a
part IN the Sunday school.
Zion church is situate about
midway between the villages Of
Waterfall and New Grenada, at
no great distance from either
place, and yet there are compare
lively few people attend. OF
course, there are some whoattend
regularly and are teachers-but
there are whole families who
never go to Sunday school, and
the parents do not set even this
Cody example to their children.
This should not be so. The Sun
day school is for the improve
ment and welfare of the entire
community and for the inculca-
ton of the teachings and princi.
pies of Jesus Christ. May we
hope that there will be an in-
creased interest in the work this
year, and that the Sunday school
at Zion may be a real center Of IN.
auence for the spiritual upllft of
the community, and that all may
accept the command "Search the
scriptures, for IN them ye think
ye have eternal hfe."
