Sunday School Column

Conducted by w, o. smalley , REMINGTON, INDIANA. Let us begin the new year with a purpose to help all ■who need help. Why be a Christian? To be a Christian is to be like Christ. To be like Christ is to be noble, pure, true, loving, faithful, unselfssh. To live as Christ lived is to live a life of great usefulness, highest honpr and perfect peace. A life filled with the Spirit of God. Such a life is pleasing in the sight of God and helps u 1 to others. This life with such privileges and blessings I esteem more highly than any.thing else on earth. This is why I am a Christian and why I wish every one else might be a Christian. We are glad to say we now have three Banner Townships in sight to report. That means every school is evergreen and each school has made an offering to the state work &c. This shows live active work on the part of somebody. But let us reach farther this year than last —broaden onr efforts remembering the command Go ye into all the world. It is our business to send the gospel to every creature. Spurgeon once said in speaking of missions “The question is not can the heathen be saved without the gospel but can we be saved if we fail to send it to them.” In our schools our township our county our state let us do the best work we have ever done for God and keep it up through the entire year.

In our lessons for the next six months we will study the Gospels. There is a charm about the study of any of the Gospels but to study them all at once , and compare them makes them a great deal more interesting. Every teacher and scholar should get clearly in mind this foundation work of Gospel study, first why there were four Gospels instead of one, who was the writer of each Gospel and how far his writings were influenced humanly by his surroundings. How these Gospels differ one from the other and to what kind of readers they were addressed. The first and oldest Gospel was written by Matthew about A. D. 38 and contains the systematic discourses of our Lord —the sermon on the mount, his charge to the disciples &c. The great purpose of the Gospel was to prove to the Jews that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. The second Gospel was written from Rome to Romans by John Mark about A. D. 63 and pays particular attention to the miracles of our Lord. It was just such a Gospel as would interest a nation who thought so much of power and mastery as did the Romans. Luke wrote the third Gospel about 58 A. D. He was a gentile and a learned physician he gives much the fullest biography of our Lord of the four. John “The desciple whom Jesus loved” was the youngest of the twelve but outlived all the others being almost 100 years old when he died, he wrote the last Gospel about 96 A. D. He gives special attention to the spiritual teachings of Christ and only gives what the others left of the Lord's life. This gospel was written for all Christians. The cburch had lived through 70 years of 'persecution and the last of the apostles ad. dresses this latest Gospel everywhere. These are only a few of the many points the live S. S. worker will use in teaching the coming lessons. The blackboard will lie especially useful in presenting the lessons vfipecially to the primary and intermediate (h'partments. Hanging Grove township held its annual convention at McCoysburg Jan. 2, anfl was well attended by the all the schools of the township. The meeting was enthusiastic and helpful to all. An interesting program was carried out, consisting of songs by

the schools, prayer by Rev, Brady, excellent addresses by C. W. Faris and W. C. Smalley, recitations by the Messrs. Hammerton. Miss Arnott and Miss Richcreek. Mrs. Steward Home Department president forthe township. Collection was taken and a meeting appointed for June 1898, Among the visitors from a distance were: W. C. Smalley and daughter, Remington; C. W. Farris, Medaryville; Jay W. Williams, J. L. Brady, Chas. H. and Mrs. Porter, Rensselaer.

The Firemen's Benefit.

The performance at the opera house, for the benefit of the Rensselaer fire company, had a very fine attendance/ and was a truly excellent show. Some enthusiastic auditors declare that they never attended a better in our opera house. The play “The Hermit” was put on in fine shape. Mr. and Mrs. Parks, in the two leading roles, were admirable in every respect, but scarcely less so in degree than some of our home talent in the other parts. The band furnished excellent music. The performance netted the fire company about $72, above all expenses.

“It Saved my Boy” Wp* HASTtftttRMtR WtYMOIOS. Daniel W. Reynolds, Watson, 111., writes Dr. Fenner, Fredonia, N. Y.: “For nearly two years my little son Grover, aged about four, suffered from Kidney and Bladder disease. Finally a gravel was forced into the urethra and remained there • producing Blood Poisoning and dropsical effusion. I refused consent to a surgical operation fearing the result, and commenced giving your Kidney and Backache Cure. ! When one bottle had been taken, the stone or gravel had become so far dissolved by it that it passed out of itself, and the child is well and strong to-day. It saved my boy.” This Wonderful (Cure shows the power of the medicine in.dissolvlng stone. Sold by B. F. Fendig.
