Allow me space to say to
the Moderator and Superinterd

consider as preachers and come
to the front \ve have some that
say that they will not pay the
Freewill effering but, tbir.k if
you are & God’s sent man you
will never object to doing good
for the cause, we can hollow and
some sister will shout, we get sell
'conceited. If I was a preacher
land could not get a shout I would
go back home ?nd would think
that God did not call me.
Brethren, Set us work up,
| preach up and pay up We must
jiive for one another and bear
&ach others burdtns.

Book To Study?
By
M rs. Laura Sparks, "Sparta 111,'
Solomon the wisest man wrote
that of making many books there]
is no end, and much study is a j
weariness of,the flesh but we do]
not grow weary of our bible
1 will say the bible brcsuse 1
can see so many good things the
bible has dene for Christian civil
ization. Even when England run]
up the white flag of peace this!
country requested that Thomas]
Jefferson would write the deciara ]
tion of Independence and he said j
in this declaration that he believe
that God created all men to have]
freedom.and equal rights and by I
this wc see t.iat Mr Jefferson had!
been studying the dear old book. jj
the bible of God.
1
In all of our .ome mission!
training wc will find that the bible j
teaches charity at home and when j
abroad What is the mission of
every parent of the United Statpr.
qf today ? It is their mission to
raise and train children in the
ways of God and whep they get
old they will not depart from it.
