We observed National Constitu-
tional Prohibition Day at Philippi
church. Rev. A. G. Baker our

take part in the exercises which he
gladly accepted.
After deyotlons, and prayer for
national prohibition, Miss Dorothy

sic Williams, and teacher of the
Long Branch school, read what Mr..
Upshaw wrote Of our great nation
al battles. She spoke in the begin
ming of what a great temperance
lecturer he was.

ter of Brother H. w. Jackson, one
of our oldest and most faithful hon
orsry mem bsrs, read a paper with
the text, DO Not Sin Against the
Child"
Br. Bakers talk was taken from
Proverbs and I think it was the
best temperance address l ever lis
tened to. He didn't leave off any,
thing that should have been said,
and after we came out of church,
which was about full, 1 could hear
from 90 many, Wasn't that talk
good" or that address fne?" i
thought at the time, | wish Mr.. and
Mrs. Minis were with us. He could
have recorded more than 1 can
think of from what was said.
In my last letter, | said that
Brother John Thompson was made
vice-president of the Sunday School
when l should have said, assistant
superintendent.
should have said Mrs. Martha
Scott had seven 70 s instead of five.
Miss Olive Jackson has been
elected organist by Our church. We

There has come young MIR. Der

fus.
