The S. S. Celebration met at
Pleasant Valley, August fifth.
Four schools were prasent. At
9:30 o’clock a. m. Marshal Berry
Gladden ushered the schools to
their respective places in true mil¬
itary style. Four hundred Sunday
e chool scholars were m rank and
tile.
After the opening exercises,
Rev. Shope delivered the address
of welcome in a manner that made
everyone feel at home. All the
schools then engaged in a song
service lor ten minutes, conducted
by Edgar Jackson.
Prof. G. H, Humphreys then en¬
tertained the audience in an inter¬
esting address of forty minutes, in
which he showed the Sunday

its practical bearings in society.

many “good things” weie devoured.

Fort Worth, Texas, formerly of

schools for one hour in a way
which was pleasing to everyone,
and especially so to the many pres¬
ent who have known him so long
and well. Mr. Petty arranged all
tho children on one side of the
aisle and the old folks over sixty
on the other side, and a idressed
them all as childreu; a scene which
was itself impressive.
By numerous happy illustrations
he showed human life from the
cradle to the grave in a way which
conldn’t fail to impress.
Each school there gave an enter¬
tainment lor fifteen minutes con¬
sisting of songs and speeches which
were well rendered and greatly en¬
joyed,
After a few appropriate remarks
