(nine miles from Hew- Bern) fol
lowing the fourth Sunday in Sep
tember. The illness of pastor
Taylor and the failure of Brother
King to appear threw something
of a dam])cr on the people. But
the meeting w’as continued from
Jlonday night till Saturday morn
ing. The people attended the ser
vices liberallv and took a fine in
terest from the Hginning. It was
a pleasure to preach to them, visit
their homes, and strWe for the de
velopment of the church and cause
in that section. The church seem
ed knit more firmly together and
built u]) and there were eight ac
cessions to its membcr.ship. Oth

be a handsome and commodious
structure. Many friends in this

■—The good roads movement is
bearing fruit in Craven county.
The sand-clay process is being-
tried on a prominent but very
^andy highway leading out from
Hew Bern to the westward. It
is first thoroughly ditched, then
cla.yed to a depth of twelve inches,
and then two or three inches of
sand spread over the clay. Owing
to distance from clay the road
costs about $600 a mile—three
times what it would if clay was
nearer. The road is expected to
wear well 20 or 25 years.
■—An unusually intelligent
Christian audience of a.bout one
hundred and fifty persons was re
cently asked three questions with
the following result: First ques

The Sunday School Board of
the Southern Baptist Convention,
of Hashville, Tenn., is publishing
two or three small volumes under
the general title of “Hormal Stud
ies for Sunday School Workers.”
The first vofiime is on “The
Sunday School.” It is by Field
Secretary B. M’'. Spilman, well
known and greatly beloved in this
section vhere he began his minis
try. This booklet is just from
the press and we have read it from
beginning to end with great in
terest.
It contains twenty-six lessons
which are arranged under three
mam divisions:
I. Sunday School History and
Methods; II. Sunday School man
agement; and III, Teaching and
Teachers. There is an interesting
O
introductory chapter and an ap
pendix of Sunday School Statis
tics.
The lessons are brief and point
ed and w-ell arranged. They will
answer many questions that are
continually occurring to the ear
nest Sunday School teacher and
worker, besides conveying a won
derful amount of valuable infor-
ma.tion. Bro. Spilman has con
ceived a happy idea in this volume
and has done his work well. We
hope and jiredict a large and ready
sale.
The booklet covers 92 pages and
people of Swansltoro most heartily
for their kind attention during his
trouble. Our deceased sister was
carried -back to her home in Samp
son county and loving friends put
body to rest.
We extend our heartfelt sym
pathy to the bereaved husband
and and her mother and father,
brother and sisters. IVeep not. Oh
husband, for her whose image was
in thy heart; for thou shalt see
her again, on the banks of the
beautiful shore of life.
“Let not your heart lx; troubled;
ye Hlieve in God, believe also in
me. In my Father’s liouse are
many mansions. I go to prepare
a place for you.”
This life ends with a struggle
but opens in Heaven with a shout
of victory.
