Fathers and mothers, are you teaching your children God’s word as you should, are you teaching them like you are teach ing them to farm and go in worldly styles? Mothers and sisters, if your boy or brother ever gets into trouble, will he have to say, “I never heard you pray or you never taught me the word of God as you should?” Oh, it will be too late to weep, and pray then. Think and start in time, train a child up in the way he should go, and when he grows older he will not depart from it. Mrs. Santie Gibbs, of Lovejoy was the guest of her brother, Mr. W. C.
