4 WELL LIKED NEGRO SCHOOL TEACHER.

A. G. Charleston. the veteran ne
GRO teacher was in town at the con-
verging of the weeks taking the ex-
animation. He renewed for the
Herald and expressed anew his abid
inc interest in same. He has been
teaching the idea to shoot in the
woolly heads down at Bendale in
George County, but will labor in
Greene the next scholastic season.
He is an dmiable darkey universally
liked by the whites.
The article by Hon. Dan Mcleod on
Christian or Church harmony is upon
a pertinent subject and upon condi-
ton in Leakesville and in many places
and deals with a state of affairs
among religionists that should be
banished inasmuch so as possible, for
bigotry IS not genuine religion nor
does sectarianism fool nor win the
world by its Earrings etc.
Rev. R. A. Albums filed the APP
pointment for pastor Alsworth at
the AdamsYille school house in Up
per East Side Sunday morning and
preached that afternoon at the Beard
school house. He has been urged
and will probably put out a regular
for himself at the lat
ter place, being we'll liked in that
community.

Results of the Methodist Revival Meeting.

Results of the Methodist Revival Meeting.
The Revival Meeting at the M. E.
Church, South, in Leakesville was
brought to a close Sunday afternoon
in a service winding up with the sac
rement, preceded by the reception OF
such members as had joined since
the reception Thursday afternoon,
namely Misses Carrie and Allie
ChurchwelI
Those joining both the Presbyte-
rian and Methodist churches were
received by the Session Of the former
and Pastor of the latter, lin joint
service for that purpose held Thurs
dav afternoon of last week and we're
in numbers Methodist 81, Presbyte-
rian 10. The names of 5 were turn
ed over to the Baptist church and
four of these were voted in Sunday
night at the SCI wee held there by
the pastor and are to be baptized by
immersion Thursday night OF this
week. The fifth one was not pres
ent when they were being voted up
on, being out of town at the time
and Will probably come in later.
The free will Offering to Bro KEEL
ly, raised by the envelope system,
amounted to $187 and out of it he
pays Bro. Sewers, the singer. Al
most the entire amount of Confer
ence Claims amounting to 1920, was
taken up in cash and pledges, large
ly the latter.
About dozen family affairs were
raised or promised, and some 30 al
ready in the churches covenanted
anew to lead the religious life. A
few of this latter number are I'M
churched but made the promise and
will settle upon their church affilia-
tion later.
Altogether the meeting has been
pronounced by the people of the sew
eral churches and outsiders, as the
one most fraught with visible results
that has ever been held IN the town,
and lavish are the praises heaped upon
both Bro Kelly and his singer, Bro.
Sewers as well as the faithful pas
tor, w. B. Alsworrh. A psycholog-
zeal hold, never before attained
seemed to have been gotten on this
people for religious ends, thus at
testing the present wisdom of the
methods and gifts employed. That
the town has 5een greatly helped a.
long spiritual lines aElround is. a
matter of general admission and for
congratulation, for we needed it, and
the Holy Spirit has graciously mani
tested himself among us and to him
belongs the praise, for without his
honoring all the faithful efforts put
forth would have been fruitless. The
Herald has tried to make this write
up stick close to fact and engender
no denominational jealousies, but
from sad experience we have about
concluded that such a course can
scarcely be pursued and escape the
latter, but any way our conscience
is void of offense in the matter.

PEOPLES FORU M.
A PLEA FOR CHRISTIAN HARMONY.
Bv Dan Mcleod.


ed at the Methodist Church at this
| place conducted by Rev. Dan Kelly
/ ought to be remembered for years to
come by all who attended it, especi-
ally on account of the noble, gener-
Gus Christian spirit set forth by the
Rev. Bro. Kelly IN every sermon
during the whole time OF the meet
ing.
There exists among us, at this
place, a spirit or feeling of ungener-
osity or jealousy, that is conpmDta-
bic to all those who long to sec the
Gospel succeed. Such principle !
think is a set back to the success = of
any church, in which such a princi-
pie or feeling exists.
All churches are organized for the
noble purpose of waging war against
the great adversary OF souls. II
such be the case,-if the saving OF
souls is the purpose of the different
churches, are we not playing 10 the
interest of Satan, while we are los
ing time operating against or not
encouraging the success of each
church so organized? AM | not a
Christian, because am Presbyte-
rian? Are you not Christian be-
cause you are a Methodist or Bap
lists? Surely there are Christians
in all these different churches. If
so. is it NOT our purpose to fight the
same adversary? Are we not fight
mo under the same banner, backed
by the same Christ. and for the same
coal? We differ somewhat in the
matter of Church Government, and
in MINOR points of doctrine, but we
can not differ in Christ. He is the
tree. and we are the branches if we
live by faith. He is the law-giver,
and by that law we must stand or
fall. Then would it not be better,
for all, unitedly, shoulder. to should
er, make a bold stand against Satan,
and his kingdom, and not loose any
time, in any way to hinder each
other.
7 fonoht in the Confederate army,
and in nearly every case, when a
Regiment or Brigade wayered, or
fell back, we lost out and had to
give the field 20 the enemy, in most
of these cases the part Of the line
that gave way, was not 10 any more
danger, than other parts, but such
conditions in nea every case
brought about very Sad results in
that we lost ground and il Che
weakening of the courage Of the men
all along the line.
But in nearly every case where
the men stood shoulder to shoulder
and moved promptly forward on the
giving of each order, the victory
was ours.
This illustrates our Christian war
fare fairly well, shoulder to shoul-
der line up of all Christians in a uni
ted effort to GUST the devil, will ac-
eomplish greater things, and how
lovely this united brotherhood would
be. But it is sad to say that IN the
working OF Church matters it is
easier to get up friction than IN any
other business that can be underta-
ken: The reason is, that old Satan
loves to monkey with church mat
tiers, and create friction among the
membership, for he knows that as
long as friction exists among the
membership Of any individual church
or between the different denomina-
tions, success can not exist.
How nice it would be if members
of all Protestant Churches, would
pray for, and encourage. the success
of all Christians. without regard to
name or denomination.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
The Business of Sitting Out.
BY LOUIS HAMMAN, M. D.

oJ A~(OL0 AA&1@AA~-~@~AN3 ~~s
You must address yourself to
the task of sitting outdoors day
after day most faithfully. You
must make it your constant oc-
cupation and stick to 1t as
though you were paid money for
it If you do not get the idea
of continuous rest firmly set in
your mind you will not succeed.
BY rest mean lying down in
bed or chair in the fresh air.
You are not to spend any time
in a closed room except when
bathing or dressing or eating.
Rest all the time. Take no exer-
else or work until your doctor
tells you-no walking, no stand
ing, no rambling, no riding, no
driving, no homework, no office
work, no chores, no trips, no Wis
its, no knocking about, no odd
Jobs, no exertiOn of any kind.
Put yourself at rest in the open
air after breakfast and stay
there. DO not be forever jump
ing up and doing little things
about the house or fetching and
carrying. Every morning sit
out; every afternoon sit out;
every evening after supper sit
out or lie in your outdoor bed.
