gregation for we thought there had
been so many Sundays this winter
that the people could not assemble
together at the house OF God, that the
whole church would be there; but
the congregation was small. | think
we are tried In many ways to see IL
op-. faith Is strong. God In his mys-
ssrious ways will keep US from
church. then give us an opportunity
to see IL we will go. then IL we fail
to go. believe many times he sends
things on us so we can't go. would
like to hear someone else speak on
that subject
Mr.. b. L. Mitchell and wife Worship
ped with US Sunday. II looked good to
see them again. He has been our
leader in music for many years. but
has moved to Anderson, and we miss
him and his family very much. We
appreciated him very much indeed. He
has done good work at Hopewell and
has been N,ry faithful, and we hope
he will take up work In his new home
and work as faithful as he did for us.
Christ says, ale that is faithful In

Mr.. Jas. White, who has been sick
many weeks with side piurisy, is i'm
proving very slowly. is able to sit
on the porch in the sunehipc in good
weather. We miss him at church very
much indeed. His place was never
vacant only when sickness OF the fam
ny kept him away. He has been a
iaithfui deacon and Sunday school
teacner Tor many years. and when
we are used to seeing one present all
tha fimn t,1,<
part, their abgencc makes a great va
cancy, but such men as Mr.. White
their places can't be filled. IL we
had more such men the world would
bo much better. 1 never heard Mr..
White pray without asking Gods
blessing on the sick. He was always
thoughtful of them and prayed for
them.
MIS-, Stringer has also been sick
Tor several weeks or months rather,
put Is come better. We hope she will
get able to worship with us again,
even II she Is In the eighties. She is
a faithful mother of Israel. A sweeter
Christian character we have never
known. even after she has suffered
these many weeks, not a murmur did
we hear from her lips about 1t, hut
her lace shonc with angelic bright
ness. 1t is sweet to see that in afflic-
tion.
Mr.. Jno. Thompson, who has been
sick SO long and was operated on I'm
Augusta, for gastric ulcer, has never
regained himself from the operation
yet. The operation relieved the in
digestion. He can eat as he has not
been able to do in many years, but
don't improve much.
Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Mcdaniel has a
new conner at their home in the sfapea
OF boy. We always have, and al.
ways will need boys. for what would
home, school, Sunday school, play,
fun, froiic, switches, strings, rocks, I
slngs, dogs. calves and everything do
without boys. Our future depends on
the boys. We want more boys and
bctter boys-of course. girls too.
