wv HE SUNDAY school is the great

the work of the young peoples soci-
cites of the church, such as the Chris
tian Endeavor, the Epworth league
and others, whose main purpose is
training the young people for the
service of the church. These societies,
one and all, are doing a most COM
mendable work, but when all Is said,
the life blood of the church Is in the
Sunday school.

BY WRIT TAYLOR.

UTE a number of years ago some
kind hearted ladies organized
Y among themselves what they
called the Relief society. These la
dies gathered donations when needed
AMI distributed them among the
poor. and while they were able TO do
much good in this way they were not
satisfied with the work, as it placed
the burden on a few and made the
work hard. They found it hard to
cover the territory thoroughly, and
through their fundamentally the AS
epciated Charities was organized July
], 1897, and the first officers were:
Presldent-Dr. ]. W. Stewart.
Secretary-Miss Nellie Hayes.
The society then divided the city
into districts according TO wards and
placed a vice president in each ward

A PLEA FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL

soon you have menu ers sufficient TO
start 4 church. The largest church
in Philadelphia was started as a
Mission Sunday school by John Wan
amaker. the merchant prince. There
are a nun rlr of fourishing Sunday
schools ovei our country today, where
they have no pastor. A Sunday school
can exist and flourish without a
church organization, but church can
not live long without q Sunday school
You can measure the strength and
efficiency of a church by the charac-
ter Of the Sunday school,. When you
see a church with a poor. neglected
Sunday school, you can make up your
mind that unless they wake up and
build up their school. they are doom
ed to inevitable decay.
A church without a Sunday school
is not a soul saving institution. Stats
tics show that in certain state where
the churches maintained Sunday
schools, these churches averaged 13
conversions in year, and among
those churches where Sunday schools
were not maintained, there was not
a single conversion Eighty-five per
cent of all the people that belong to
the church came into membership
through the Sunday school. 1t Is evil
dent that without the Sunday school

for a while, but other and kindred So
cicties were organized, such as the
different branches of the Kings
daughters, the Visiting Nurse associa-
ton, the Sunshine society, the HUI
name society, the Anti-Tubercu,osis
society, the Tri-City Social Service
club, etc, and, while all Of these had
work TO do and were striving to
accomplish it, IT was found that there
were those in the city VINO discovered
it easier to get aid where there was
multiplicity of organizations doing
relief work and in consequence there
OF there was much overlapping
Through the efforts of Miss Dina
Eamser, who was at that time act
ing as general secretary of the AS
SOciated Charities and a member Of
rlany of the other societies. with her
friends in the work, these various So
Cieties were brought together for con-
ference and in August, 1911, the As
ISOLATED Charities was reorganized
with the following organizations rep
resented on the board of directors:
Bethany Protective association.
Young Mems Christian association.

Sometimes the load has been heavy
and the grade steep, but few brave
hearts and willing hands have stood
faithfully to the task, ever looking to
and hoping for the day when Rock
Islands good citizens would recog-
nize the need and come to their as
sistance.
This year we have reached the
turn in the road and easier progress
is beginning to be noticed.
Having reorganized, adopted a new
constitution, and selected a large and
efficient board of directors, chosen as
representatives OF the various charity
ana benevolent organizations of the
.ity our association has taken on new
l'fe and activity
1.-TWO important changes In our
method of work are OF chief import
ance. First, the employment of q
Faid secretary. For this office We
have chosen Writ Taylor, man whom
we have found to be capable and
thoroughly interested in the work, who
is kind of heart, firm in execution and
III E5SilICul. EILluS-
iGsm, coupled with fidelity and econ
omy, makes him the man for the
place.
Second, the purchase of the Asso-
citation house at 637 Seventeenth
street, which, as tenants, we have &C.
cupied the past year and a half 1t is
centrally located fairly well adapted
TO our work, and sufficiently reason
able in price to warrant the invest
ment.
I'VE have a comparatively small
equity in it at present, but we have
faith to believe at no distant day
funds will be raised to help us lift
the encumbrance.
I'VE believe we are now well estab-
i;shed for increased usefulness. We
want the public to realize that we are
doing its work.
THE care of the dependent and I'M
fortunate is a public work for which
we fell justified in asking the public
| to support, that we may do the work
! efficiertly
SO far as possible, we try to learn
and combat the causes of suffering.
If we succeed in removing the cause
of misery and vice the public will be
saved from their consequences"

than usual at this season. The price

Doings of the Holiday at Cleora.

Christmas is over and I think
every one is glad of it, they can
start another year. a good many
have cotton to pick yet, and the
price is so low and cotton so badly
damaged that it is hardly worth
picking. Very few got to SOW as
much grain as they wanted to last
fall, SO there will be good deal
sown in the spring.
A. L. Brunson, Jr., has been at
home during Christmas, having fin
ished his job with the q. S. gov.
ernment in Florida.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. r. Brunson have
had too very sick children but both
are better now. L. r. Brunson,
Jr., is saving for Mr.. Guss Morgan.
We hear that Mr.. Charley Thorn
as will move his family to Edge
field some time soon. Mr.. George
Strom will move on the place he
bought from Mr. Sam Morgan.
Mr.. Pearce Thomas received a
Christmas present of a fine son.
Our school will begin on Janua-
ry lst, under the management of
Misses Nellie Hill and Carrie Col
Inns. They will have about SO schol-
ars.
Mr.. Tom Williams has added to
his house, but not to his household
yet.
Miss Alma Williams is teaching
the Morgan school again this term.
Mr.. Hubbard Williams has been
on visit to his sister, Mrs. Hamp
Morgan, at Hepzibath, Ga.
Ex-Judge Cheatham is adding an
other room to his residence.
The chain gang worked about 8
miles of road from w. P. Brunson's
to Moultrie's mill just before the
wet spell started and you can hard
ly travel 1t at all. Had they worked
on to Edgefeld we would be quar-
antined until spring.
Most of the farmers around here
made enough corn to dc this year,
but not enough cotton, owing to the
short price.
Misses Grace Williams and jamie
Reel returned to the S. G. G. l.
Monday.
Mr.. Clack Seigler, mail carrier
from Cleora to Edgefeld, has miss
ed only one day during the bad
