Aunt Cinda Cunningham, as she
was called by many of her friends, has
passed away. She had been afflicted
for many years, but now her suffer.
ing is over. We feel very sad and
lonely as we are about our work and
see so many things to remind us of
one who is gone, but we would be
sadder still were it not for the blessed
hope set before us in Gods precious
word, SO let us not think of her as
dead, but as sleeping to await the
glorious morning.of the resurrection.
Our school has been in session two
weeks and is progressing to the salts
faction of some. Others are displeas-
ed with the management. They say
the higher grade teachers have little
to do, while the teachers of primary
grades are so crowded they must send
part of their pupils home at noon, and
the others must wait until noon to go
to school. OF course, it is not so bad
for the little tots of six and seven
years, but when it comes to children
of ten to twelve years old only get
ting about four hours or less of school
ing each day, fail to see any justice
in that. Instead of FIVE days school
ing as the law says they must have,
they only get two and one half DAYS.
would like to say to "Observer"
that he has jumped to a wrong con-
clusion il he thinks that am afraid
of DIR. Blalock, but do not wish to
have discussion with anyone who is
so unfair and unreasonable and uses
language that is so vile that cannot
combat him with like weapon. 1 do
not want anything stronger than the
Word Of God to fight anyone with.
The good Book says the truth is nigh
ty and will prevail, and as long as I
am in the truth backed up by the word
of God, which He says is sharper than
two-edged sword, I do not fear all
the doctor-preachers in the world. AS
to his proofs, fail to see where he
has proved me to be liar or a candi-
date for his two story hell, but on the
contrary he proved that l told the
truth. He said that l told seven lies
in one when said that hell is the En-
glish for hades, and then he went on to
say that hades is translated hell
ten times in the bible. He didn't say
in the New Testament, but of course
it is, for the Old Testament was writ
ten in the Hebrew language, and the
Hebrew word, sheol means the same
thing as the Greek word. hades. The
word hell, is an old English word and
originally meant hole or pit. / do
not claim to be Greek scholar, but
what I do know got from far better
authority than DIR. Blalock.
He has proved to me that he does
not know Greek for he says that after
Jesus and His disciples had eaten the
memorial supper, they sang hymn
and played an accompaniment on some
kind Of an instrument. Now. we have
Greek testament with the English
translation under each word, and there
is no mention of an instrument there
of any sort. do not wish to injure
DIR. Blalock. / bear him no i'll will.
have never written such harsh things
about him as he has about me and
never will, but love Gods precious
truth and I must defend it at any
cost. So, dear friends, let us take up
the old family Bible every day, read
few passages and mediate upon them,
for "all Scripture is given by inspira-
tion of God, and is profitable for doc
trine, for reproof. for correction, for
| instruction IN Righteousness, that the
man of God may be perfect, thorough
ly furnished unto all good works, look
ing for the blessed hope and the glori-
GUS appearing of the great God and
our Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave
Himself for us that He might redeem
us from all iniquity and purify unto
Himself peculiar people, Jealous of
all good works. -
