H. O’TYSON.
I)r. Riley, the Pastoj, is to preach next
Saturday, and also Sunday aud Sunday
night. Saturday afternoon before the
second Snuday in each month is the.
time for regular church conference. Dr.
Riley is one of the best preachers in the
State, and entertains and instructs all
who hear and giye attention to his schol
arly discourses. All are invited to attend
each service.
Prayer meeting on Thursday night of
eacli week. Topic this week was “The
Missionary Model.’' For Thursday night
of next week the subject will be “The
Bread of Life.” The members take part
iu these discussions and give life aud in
terest to the meetings.
We would be glad to have all who can
lo attend prayer meeting.
During the fine weather every one
who feels nu interest in the Sunday
school should attend. How any one who
U a Christian member of the church can
feel indifeient to the Snuday school
where God’s worJ is studied, is a mys
tery to those who take prt iu Sunday
work. Jesus gave his life for you, and
can you not give an hour once a week to
study tiis teachings? God help you to
do your duties in all branches of church
work.
The Ur in last Sunday aft'rnoon was
lead by Mr. John S Boyd and Miss
Rosa Overton. The subject was “The
Reward of Faith.” Mrs. Dr. Pitts, Mrs.
Eva Hureaway and Miss Lizzie Hoss
read some fine select sons, and Misses
Marian Grop.s, Lizzie Shields, Gertrude
i Warr aud Julia Samuels read Scripture
selections. Messrs. lia E. Farmer aud
E E. West, made brief addresses. These
meetings are very interesting ; come one
aud all.

IN MEMORY
— OF —
Little Myrtle Bohler.
When the gentle soul of this sweet child
winged its flight to that bourne from which
uodraveller returns, there was a distinct va
cancy iu the Juvenile Missionary Society, of
which she bad long been a faithful mem
ber.
Of siugulatly modest and retiriog dispo
sition, she was yet ready to assist in all the
w.ys she could to advance tho work she
loved so woll. Her cheerful presence and
gentle spirit endeared her to the Lady Man
ager aud her associates, and they wish to
record their affection for her as well as the
grief her going away brought them.
They feel that she pass, and into the land of
the shadows only to awake in one of her
Father’s many mansions, where sin aud sor
row cannot enter, aud God himself wipes
away all tears.
‘ Standing, with reluctant feet
Where tho brook aud river meet,
Womanhood and childhood fleet.”
It appears to our dull vision that her
work on earth was not complete, but 6he
has gone “unto that school where Christ
himself does rule,”
She lives whom we call dead.
'Not as a child shall we again behold her;
But a fair maiden in her Fatner’s mansion,
Cl tiled with celestial grace.
And beautiful with all the souls expansion,
Shall we behold her face.”
Her memory will be tenderly cherished
iby the Missionary Society aud a page iu
their book will be sacred to the record of
this, the first death that has occurred iu the
Society since its organization in 1883.

MISS NINA KDMUNDSON.
On Sunday afternoon April Ist no
League service was held, but the Mis
sionary service as previously announced,
filled the evening hour. The programe
prepared by onr president was unusally
interesting and appropriate. We desiro
to make special mention of an address on
“The Improvement iu Missionary Spirit
in the past fifty years,” by Mr. Mat
Gross. The Leaguers were very glad to
have such a large audience. Attention
is c* l**d t. the monthly business meet
ing at the Paisouage Fri lay evening,
April 6tli. A large attendance is earnest
ly requested, as business of importance
will be discussed.
