school closed on Wednesday, May
14th, which was taught by Miss Belle
Nickles, from Abbeville, S. c. Miss
Nickles was as fine young lady as
has ever taught for st. Johns school.
She left for her home next day. We
all hated to see her leave but hope to
see her again soon.

Miss Lille Kinard had few of

We had a nice rain last Friday,

Mr.. and Mrs. Angus Kearse were

Kearse last Sunday.
For the past few Sundays our Sun
day-school seemed to be drifting away
but 1 noticed last Sunday we had a
little larger crowd. Hope it will con-
tinue that way, only keep getting
larger. We have as our superintend-
ent Mr.. Boyce Bishop, who is trying
to get everybody to come to Sunday
school, but it seems like its hard to
get everyone to go. I notice there
are some children right near the
school who go maybe once month.
Now, children, that's no way to go
to Sunday-school. You must try to
go every Sunday. Ask your parents
to go with you, and if they don't go,
that's no reason why you should not
go, is it? Parents, do you think you
are raising your children up like men
and women should when they are off
from you on Sunday, maybe getting
in mischief, instead of having them
in the Sunday-school? It's alright to
let them 20 off on Sunday and en-
joy themselves, but when Sunday
school hour comes you should take
them or either make them go them
selves to Sunday-school. I wish some
of us would think over that question
and see if we can't answer and carry
it out like it should be, making the
children go to Sunday-school, and
not only children, but parents go
yourselves, won't you?
St. Johns Sunday-school has COM
menced to practice for their annual
picnic which will be on the 18th OF
June. If there is anyone near st.
Johns who can sing that hasn't al
ready joined in with the choir we will
be glad for them to come in and help
US next Sunday afternoon, also from
then on until the picnic is over.
Let each member go to church and
Sunday-school next Sunday prepared
to make up the money for lemons,
etc., for our picnic.
This is written by one of the old ST.
Johns Sunday-school girls who is
willing and tries to do everything she
is asked to do to help out her Sunday
school-one who hardly ever misses
a Sunday.
