the singing teacher who rides six

sings for two hours, can hold his
own in a contest with any man
where fried chicken, ham, roast
beef, pickles, pies, cakes and other
things too numerous to mention
constitute the spoils.
In the afternoon the matter of
time and-place for the next meet
ing of the convention was con
sidered, and after remarks by a
number of the persons most inter
ested it was decided to hold the
next meeting twelve months hence
at the _ same place—Pleasant
Valley.
The leaders for the afternoon
were among those whose names
have already been given. The or
ganists for the day were Miss
Jennie Terry and Profs. Bowman
and Showalter. At half past three
o’clock the convention adjourned
with prayer by Prof. W. E. Har
per and all felt that “ it-was good
to be there.” The impressions
made upon many a heart by the
sweet songs of Zion as found in
Revival Choir No. 2, the only book
used in the convention, will last
not only while time lasts, but
throughout eternity as well.
There is more power in sacred
song to move the heart than in
aught else we know in this world,
and never did we see in any re
ligious assembly more exemplary
conduct than at this convention.
If Pleasant Valley is not the best
place in this respect in the State
of Georgia, it is assuredly the,
equal of any other place we ever
saw in this or any other State.
This is the only way to stop the
mouths of would-be censurers of
all-day praise services—let them
be so conducted that all criticism
is shamed into silence in the pres
ence of the good they do.
A regular normal'class for the
benefit of teachers and those pre
paring to teach is a feature of this
school. It also has a debating so
ciety which is in a prosperous con
dition.
The trustees of this institution
which speaks so well for the good
people of Pleasant Valley are
Messrs. A. J. Mason, chairman, C.
C.j Keith, Dr. S. A. Brown, J. J.
and J. H.. Loughridge, J. W.
Coffee and G. B. Jackson. The
school opens in .September and
continues for ten months. The
closing exercises of their present
term will occur June 18th, at
which time a treat will be afforded
all who attend. C
The Citizen rejoices at the
success of every institution of this
kind in Georgia. A liberal Chris
tian education is going to work
wonders for the citizenship of the
Empire State of the South.

he is a perfect gentlemen in every

honest, sober, and is very much
liked by all who know him. He
also stands very high with the of

everything pertaining to his busi
ness straight and correct, and never
gives them any trouble. He de
serves much credit for his faith
fulness, and for the way things
are carried on about the depot.
His clever porter, Will Fox, also

keeping the depot clean and or

team.

HAVE WE ANY ROOM FOR JESUS.
Written for Thf Citizen.
Is there any room for Jesus,
Is He welcome in our home?
Do we gladly take Him with us
Where’er our footsteps roam?
Is there any room for Jesus
In our office or our store?
Would we gladly bid Him enter,
Should we see Him- at our door?
Is there any room for .Jesus
In our courts and council halls?
Is there room upon the judge’s bench
For the Righteous Judge of all?
Is there any room for Jesus
At our clubs and social fetes?
Is He ever there a welcome guest?
Or stands without the gates?
Is there any room for-Jesus
In the pews of churches grand?
Room to sit among the rich and great,
Or in the pulpit stand?
These questions let us ponder well, *
As life’s journey we pursue.
And may our blessed Lord find room
In everything we do.
That when before-His judgment seat,
We wait to hear our doom,
In accents soft we’ll hear Him say,
Come in dear child, there is room.
