imperious clasp. “You know that I
love you.”
Nell’s eyelids lowered swiftly and
while blushing vividly, she was not
permitted until after some seconds
of ecstasy, to withdraw her hands.
“What is my answer?” he demand

He had stood the test, a voice with

softly, and while the will was as yet

Sunday School Work in Georgia
About a year ago the Georgia Sun
day School Association decided to do
more definite work, and Mr. D. W.
Sims, who at that time was general
secretary of the Alabama Sunday
School Association, was employed as
Georgia’s general secretary, and be
gan work on June Ist. Mr. Sims is
a practical man, having served as a
Sunday School teacher for about ten
years, and superintendent of a large
Sunday School in Richmond, Va„ then
served successfully as field and gen
eral secretary in Alabama, for about
five years, prior to taking up the work
in Georgia.
Some Striking Facts.
In Mr. Sims work through the State,
he has collected some facts that are
not generally known. For example,
he has found that in one county in
Georgia there are only seven Sunday
Schools, and six of these are in the
largest town in the county.
In another county in Georgia there
are only ten Sunday Schools, and only
four of them run twelve months in
the year.
In still another county in Georgia
there are fifty literary schools and
only fifteen Sunday Schools, and only
five of the Sunday Schools run twelve
months in the year.
While in another county in Georgia
there are only three Sunday Schools,
according to a report from the county
ordinary.
In another county in Georgia only
one out of forty-eight of the white
population is enrolled in the Sunday
Schools.
Meeting the Conditions.
Since the Georgia Sunday School
put Mr. Sims in the field, the Ist of
last June, 43 of Georgia’s 48 coun
ties have been organized or the ten
tative organizations re-organized.
These counties are holding Institutes,
County and Division Sunday School
Conventions, advocating more and
better schools. One feature of the
work of the Association is to get the
leaders of Sunday School thought in
terested in these county organiza
tions. The leaders in meeting as
sembled plan to meet the conditions.
A large quantity of free leaflets on
“(Banner School,” and other methods
of Sunday School work are being sent
out from the office of the Association,
at 613 Temple Court Building, Atlanta.
Denominational Co-operation.
The Georgia School Association is
the only organization in the State in
TRY IT WITHOUT RISK.
Any reader of this paper suffering from
dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, rheu

stomach, liver, kidney or bladder trouble,
should be quick to respond to the offer made
by Mr. N. F. Shivar, owner of Shivar Miner
al Spring. For $2 he will send 10 gallons
of Shivar Spring Water with the strict un
derstanding that it must benefit you or your
money refunded promptly upon receipt of
empty bottles. You risk nothing, but will

other sources. I consider Shivar Spring

“I have fought off your influence to
such an extent that I do not know
how I regard you. But I’ll promise
you not to do so any longer—if that
will answer you, until I know my
self.”
“Thank you,” he replied with a
brilliant smile. “Meantime, if the
idea of the fortune is still disturbing
you, I’ll help you beg your aunt to
disinherit you, entirely.’
“Don’t,” she said, with a smile, as
she gave him her hand in farewell, “at
least, not until I ask it.”

which all denominations are working
together, in a systematic effort to cre
ate public sentiment in favor of de
nominational Sunday Schools in every
conftnunity where they are needed, and
better methods in the Sunday Schools
now existing] The Georgia Sunday
School Association is a helper, not a
competitor, of any denomina
tional Sunday School work, for it
does not try to organize Union Sun
day Schools, but to create public sen
timent so denominational Sunday
schools, of such denomination as the
community thinks best, will be or
ganized. The Georgia Sunday
School Association is working byway
of suggestion, not on authority, there
fore, it helps many and hinders none,
for it is a co-operative effect on the
part of all evangelical denomina
tions in Georgia (just as they are
working in other States) for more
Sunday Schools and better methods of
work in Sunday Schools now existing.
The State Convention.
Plans are now being made for the
State Sunday School Convention,
which meets at Elberton, Ga., on April
22-23-24. Besides the Sunday School
workers of the State, who will take
part on the program, Mr. W. C. Pearce,
of Chicago, Associate General Secre
tary of the International Sunday
School Association, will also speak.
The music is to be in charge of Prof.
E. O. Excell, of Chicago, who, a num
ber of years ago, was associated with
Georgia’s celebrated evangelist, the
Rev. Sam P. Jones. Prof. Excell
has the distinction of being one of
the greatest music writers, and Con
vention song leaders living. He will
be assisted with the music by his pian
ist, Prof. Alvin W. Roper.

A GREAT DAY IN JESUP.

er presented the Bible. The service
was solemn and deeply impressive
throughout.
Brother Rouse stood a most excel
lent examination and gives promise of
a useful minister of Jesus Christ.
At the evening service a great crowd
pressed into the house even to the
very doors.
A converted Jew is something of a
curiosity in these parts, and though
only a short time was had for adver
tising Brother Ehrlich, the house was
packed with eager listeners. The in
terest was intense, and the speaker
held his audience spellbound, as he
spoke on the always interesting theme,
“From Judaism to Christianity.”
The converted Jew made a very fav
orable impression upon the people
here, and will always receive a wel
come in Jesup.
This is a charming people, hospit
able and courteous, and growing in
the graces of liberality and spiritual
ity. J. C. SOLOMON.
