Sunday School Column

Conducted

BY W. C. SMALLEY,

REMINGTON! INDIANA. The greatest privilege of mortals is to work for Jesus. The Carpenter Township Sunday School Ass’n held its semiannual convention on Saturday afternoon and evening Feb. 26th. The attendance was good at both sessions and the exercises were very helpful. Mrs. J. L. Griffes gave a very good object lesson on the S. S. lesson for Mar. 13th discussing the subjeot Principles and Methods of primary teaching. Bro. Robt. Parker gave us a good talk on ‘‘How to interest young men in the Sunday School.” Altogether it was a very spiritual, helpful convention. The new officers elected were, Pres. W. C. Smalley, Seo. Mrs. C. G. Beal, Treas. Mrs. D. Ravenscroft, Supt. Home Class, Mies Ada Wilson.

What is prayer? There are many answers given to this question, Some people seem to think about all it is is to ask for what we think we need and ask for it as though it was an order to the for daily supplies. But true prayer includes specific thanks to God for what has been given and communion with the Giver of all good. Here is an answer that that is certainly a good definition “Prayer includes supplication for ones self, intercession for others, praise out of a grateful heart and conference with Him who is worthy of all praise and who ought to be communed with continually. It has been truly said that it is not work that wears us out but it is the anxiety for the future. We worry over something we think will befall us tomorrow and when it is over we think how very foolish we were to have shown such anxiety. There is no place for anxiety in the life of God’s children. Christ’s pure serene life was but one of the signs of his trust in his Heavenly Father. He was tired, hungry, thirsty and in pain: but one cannot find a trace of anxiety ever shown by Him. The life of Frances E. Willard is a splendid example of trust and faith in God she looked death in the face with not a traoe of anxiety about the future. A life lived with such faith realizes the truth of the words “My peaoe I give unto you.”

With this issue we retire from the editorship of the Sunday School column. We w’ish to thank all who have aided us in our feeble efforts to give live interesting Sunday School nows. We feel glad to know the work has been furthered by these efforts not that any credit is due us —if there has been any good done give God the glory for we are all instruments in His hands for doing good. We feel confident that Bro. B. D. Comer, who will conduct this department for the next throe months, will do it in a pleasing manner. We would ask all the county workers to assist him all you can as there is a great amount of work required. Bro. Comer has a high conception of the work and thero is very little doubt but what he will conduct it croditnbly.

“Run Down” The Holed Deer Hunter of the West Testifies. “Grandin, Mo., July 8,1804. fir. M. M. Psnnbr. Fredonia, N. Y,, Dear Sir:—l was run down, tired oat, bilious, had no appetite, poor sleep, dlszy, dull, and had constant headache. The first relief I got was from your Blood and Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic. One bottle brought a complete cure. I was thus able to recommend it, and 1 have since sold a great deal. The last bottle 1 sold cored a woman of palpitation of the heart and chronic inflammation of neck of bladder. Bhe had “smothering spells" from her heart and had to get up many times of a night. The one bottle cured her completely of the t diseases. I never knew this medicine to fail wherever it was used." Sold by B. F. Fendig.
