The story of '"The Fireny." which

decides to masquerade as . boy and

FROM REV. N. W. GILBERT
Former Sharp County Boy Is Succeeding As
Pastor At Judsonia.

EullOT N6COTu.--l lldNt Uccll uCdl
ing from a number of my friends
in the splendid old county of Sharp
through the newsy columns of your
nice, clean paper. Even though in
directly, | have been delighted to
hear from them, and am wondering
if they would be interested in few
lines from me. AS most of you
know, | am yet at JudsOnia, and
the remarkable thing of it all is
that they are not willing to allow
me to move, unless it is to 90 off to
school, which | shall do this fall.
They are intelligent enough to see
that | need some schooling.
Despite the fact of all my mex
perience, inability, and a number of
other things which | have not, we
were able last year to pull out a
sleeping little church, which the
devil was no longer dreadine and
which was pronounced dead by sew
eral, to where we went to confer
ence with the best prorata report in
the entire state. This was almost
entirely accomplished through our
Sunday school, and by the pastor
staying with his job, being absent
not a single Sunday in the year.
Again this year we are making
the Sunday school the chief point
of interest, and people are seeing
that it is the study of Gods word
that is most needed in these days.
May say all that say humbly
and fully realizing that it is God
who is bringing all this to pass, but
expecting you to see that it is our
privilege to let Him use us as chan
} nels through which to work.
Our Sunday school gave special
recognition to Mothers Day, which
was May 10, with the following re-
suits: Present III, on time 14O,
with Bibles 70, attending church
l65, Offering $6.16, signed temper
, ance pledge to date 112. Just fol-
lowing the Sunday school we rem
dered a special program, which was
enjoyed by 800, counting the child
rem of course. There are two other
churches in town, one with a men,
q bership of $40, the other '108, while
we have only 102, We had more,
, but removed some drones. We are
alive with the Sunday school spirit
. of doing things. We have, regard
less of the above statements, which
are true, the largest Sunday school
in town, if not in the county, and it
is our privilege to teach the largest
class of young men in this section.
On Mothers Day we had 35. The
offering following Mothers Day just
in the Sunday school was $2l,42.
A letter from any of my friends
will always be appreciated. | am
busy, as you would infer, but | have
mot forgotten my friends up there,
who have been so much help to me
in the past, Many other things !
might say about our work, but let
me ask that no one feel that | am
boosting my work. Rather am
boosting the work of the Sunday
school You may have 1t too.
In His service,
