Comrades, our ranks are growing
thinner rapidly. It is estimated that
about 14 per cent are “Crossing over
the river and resting under the shade
of the trees” with our immortal Jack
son and others. Yearly, Comrades,
as we grow weaker in numbers and
strength, we are growing more care
less about meeting together, and
some are failing to pay their dues,
which are only 15 cents a year. Sure
ly any comrade can pay that little
amount; if not, surely his sons or
grandsons would pay it for him. ;
The State and National head
quarters are calling on our camp for
it.
The following is a list of the Sons‘
who have joined our camp, and paid
their fees, 25¢., no dues charged them
for 1916. However, they are due as
members of our camp for this year,
as other membérs 15¢. Brack Gools
&y, H, T. Pope, Eugene Baynes, Kd
ward Wynh, W. S. Florence, Rev. J.
J. Winburn, Rufus Smith, Rev. J. L
Niblett, "Harvie Jordan, Thos. Payne,
J. T. Bowden. I regret to sdy that
about twice as many other sons gave
me their names, but failed to pay the
small fee required of them. I sup
pose through neglect., Hope they will
unite with us in the future. Com
rades, don’t let our camp go down.
Boys, sons and grandsons of Con
federate Veterans, rally as true sons
of Veterans and help keep fresh in
your memory the righteous and just
cause your fathers fought for! .

INTERESTING BIBLE FACTS
(Compiled by a Convict Serving a

AN ESTIMATE OF THE BIBLE.
The Bible contains—The mind of
God, the state of *man, the way of
Salvation, the doom of Sinners, and
the happiness of Believers. Its doc
trines are holy, its precepts are bind
ing, its histories are true, and its de
cisions are immutable. Read it to
be wise, believe it to be safe, and
practice it to be, holy. It contains
light to direct you, food to support
you, and comfort to cheer you. It is
the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff,
the pilot’s compass, the so!dler's
sword and the Christian’s charter,
Here Paradise is restored, Heaven
opened, and the gates of Hell dis
i closed. Christ is its GRAND SUB
JECT, our good .its ‘design, and the
glory of God it end. It should fill
the memory, rule the heart, and guide
the feet. Read it slowly, frequently,
prayerfully. It is a mine of wealt.h,i
'a paradise of glory, and a river of‘
pleasure. It is given you in life, will
be opened at the Judgment, and be
remembered forever. It involves the
highest reSponsibility, will reward the
greatest labor, and condemn all who
trifie with its sacred contents.
