The Henry County Sunday School Association is auxiliary to the Georgia Sunday School Associa tion which is a co-operative effort on the part of all denqminations tG improve Sunday School conditions and Sunday School workers. It advocates the latest and best methods of Sunday School work and stands only for those interests that are common to Sunday Schools of all denominations. The plans and methods suggested by this Association are practicable for all Sunday Schools, as they do not touch on Church doctrines. The work is by way of suggestion, not by authority; therefore, it helps many, it hinders none. The object is helpful and brotherly co-operation, not organic union. The officers of the Association are leading Christian business men of all evangeli cal denominations. T J. HORTON, O. O. TOLLESON, President.

No use to shout about the virtue of the piano or other prizes. All have become familiar with them. Now is the time for steady deter mined effort, the kind that wears and tears and makes character in the going. Every one of these con testants who have been working for the prize will be the better for the effort, even though there is only one . iano and only one who can get it. Who is to be the one? That is to be the momentous question. Do they at times see a vision of the dray stopping at their door, the men unload, tramping into the house with the beautiful instrument the reward of their prowe s and endeavor? How much interest I did you take in such a dream? I Have you not dream* of and how would you feel to have them realized? Don’t jou think you would have very much the same feeling could you in some way assist or have assisted in the realization of some such laudable ambition? Try it anu see Put forth .heeffort. Bear in mind some of the contestants whom you like to see a winner and then go out and work. Every time you spend a dollar put it some place where you ca,i get a vote coupon and then turn it over to your chosen candidate. You won’t be the only one doing this, and how do you know but what your little help will turn the trick and put the prize where you <vant it? You people who get out of yourselves once in a while and do something for somebody else, are beginning to learn the true secret of a happy life; and once you get in the way you will keep it up forever—you will speedily see that the millenium is no fickle dream but a blessed reality, to be brought about by just simple means.
