her citizens. From the date of its establish

PLEASANT VIEW.
Next Saturday and Sunday
are regular meeting days he - e.
Let’s all go and show to the
world what a Christian's duty
is. I have been made to wonder
why people will go and stay all
day at a store but will not go
to Saturday meeting. I want to
say every Christian is needed &
we ought to lay aside every
thing and go to meeting every
time we possibly can for if the
members of the church take no
interest how 7 may we. expect t he
world to take any. This is aver
y serious question, brother, and
one that should have much
thought. The Lord loves you &
your children and He wants to
save the last one of them. So we
ought to go to church and car
ry our children and tryC h
t-ifch them w'-feat-is Tight awd
what is wrong. ’ Another mis
take' w 6 are making, I am af
raid, is not reading our Bible as
we ought to, and if we fail to
read it how are we to know it
and how 7 can we teach it to our
children? So I want to ask all
who reads this to do all you can
to get people to read and study
God’s word and see how 7 they
will become interested. I guess
1 have said enough on this line
and I will tell of a few other
things.
