Our brethren and sisters of Mount Vernon Springs Baptist Church, and the people of the community generally, will do all in their power for our comfort and for the success of the Chau tauqua. The grove in which Mount Vernon Springs Church is situated is a very large one, and parties desiring to do so can take tents or make shelters and “camp ” in the grove during the Cliautauqua.

It proved a great .source of inspiration to me for the Sunday' School work.”—.If. rl. AUe.jt, Reidsville. “ J'he Sunday School Chantauciua la.st year impre.ssed me as a g'ood thing -ju.st what the Sunday Schools of our State need to increase interest in the work, and I know it did great good to thi.s community'. 'I'he Baptist Church at thi.s place has now a good Sunday School; a thin,g that has not been licre for many years. I am here now holding a meeting. 'I'he people are anxious for the Chautauqua to come, antici- patin,g a good time. All are making prepara tions to attend, and we expect a larger crowd this year than we had last. Let as many come from abroad as can; would be glad to see every Sunday School in the State represented. I expect to be with you from first to last this year. Cannot afford to lose any part of the exercLses. ”—IF. II. //. Lawhon, Mt. Vernon Springs. '■' While attending the Chantaucpia last sum mer, I felt that a much needed want was being supplied along the line of Sunday'School work. It was pleas.aut and exceedingly instructive, and I was specially impressed with the .spirit uality' of the meeting. I wish that every super intendent and teacher in the State, and others I f;s Well, c mid iateird a gatiiering like the oiu; i.x.->t'V'e;;, 1, .--A., jP d','yI drt. re.-.y. “I was favorably impressed by several fea tures of the Chautauqua. I was impressed most by' the deep spirituality' that pervaded the meetings. I felt that this work met with the approval and received the blessings of our Heavenly Father. I was impressed by the en thusiasm, earnestness and thorough prepara tion of the brethren, and sisters. I was im pressed by the hearty good feeling which was manifested by all. It seemed to me that every'- body, including the proprietor of the Springs and his family, contributed his might to make the occasion pleasant and profitable to all present. When I was ready to leave, I was saying to myself, as 1 supposed everyone ehse was, ‘I am coming back again.’”—T. S. Sprinkle, Salem. “ As there never was a meeting of the kind held in North Carolina before our last summer convention, of course my feeling of impres.sions were totally' different from those experienced at any other Sunday School gathering. I^et me first pay tribute to the deep religious feeling that pervaded the entire session. How we felt the very presence and power of the Spirit at every session. God was with us. and His smile upon us. ‘ ‘ He led us all the way. ’ ’ Then the programme was unique, and all who partici pated did their best—there could be no distinc tion. Finally, that meeting has been a strength and inspiration to me throughout the year, and I hope to be present again this year. ’ ’— Waller IF. Rowe, Gree7isboro. ‘ ‘ I have been helped through all the past y'ear by the meeting last summer, and hope to got much good from this one.”—Miss Lauj'o C. Boner, Greensboro. ‘ilf I can possibly' attend the Chautauqua this year, I .shall do so. I believe that good was done at the meeting last year that will tell even in eternity. If I could, I would make every teacher and officer in my Sunday School attend the Chautauqua this y'ear. ’ ’—J. R. Rod- well, Warrenton,
