SANDERS. By Miss E. V. Gunn. It was a sad day indeed when the Scotia girls of Danville, Va., and the friends of Mrs., Bessie Rattley Sanders learned of her death at her home in New Bern, N.

T. Hall, pastor of High Street Baptist church, officiated. Rev. Carr took his text from. 116th Psalm and 150th verse: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” Those who knew Mrs. Sanders best felt that no oth er text would have suited the occasion so well.

One year from that date the interest was due him, and it amounted to more than several days’ pay on the farm and for which interest he didn’t have to work a lick. So he drew all of his money from the bank and went into the turkey bus iness. After that his money making was just a matter of multiplication, and from his turkey business he learned a lesson that shaped his entire career. If you work for money and save it, money will work for you. If you work for money and save it, you will be able to hire men to work for you, and able to collect part of what they make for your own personal holdings. Take my advice and go in business now, even if it be a peanut stand, and some day you will be a power for the good of your race, for money is power. Then the race will find its rightful place along with other people of the world. SHINNICOCK CHURCH NOTES, SOUTHAMP TON, LONG ISLAND, N. Y. Rev. E. W. Carpenter, Pastor. Mrs. A. T.

REFORMER’S BUILDING CENTRAL DISTRICT SUN DAY SCHOOL CONVENTION OF YADKIN PRESBYTERY. By Mrs. J. H. Clement. On August 6-9 the Central District Sunday School Conven tion convened at Edward Webb church, Mt. Airy, of which Rev. J. H. Clement is the pastor. Mrs. Laura Holland, the President, being absent, the Convention was called to order by Mr. C- W. Robinson. After a brief period of devotions and a lively song service we were fa vored with a most excellent ad dress of welcome by Hon. F. W. Carter (white) of the city. At torney Carter is an elder of the Presbyterian church and one of the most prominent Christian men of the city. He said many pleasing things. The most grat ifying thing to him was to know he had been Superinten dent of the Sunday school for 35 years. Prof. F. D. Davis also gave a very cordial welcome on behalf of the Sunday schools of the city. Dr. J. A. Bonner will never be forgotten in Mt. Airy. The wonderful response he made to the addresses will be long re membered by all who heard him. He made a lasting impression on the Hon. Mr. Carter and the congregation. Many have spoken of him since. Our first evening’s program put life into us all and we were in splendid condition to begin our business sessions. Friday morning at 9 o’clock Superintendent B. C. Ellerson was at his post of duty and led the praise service. At 9:30 Mr. C. W. Robinson presided. The first business was the enroll ment of officers, superinten dents and delegates. Thirteen schools were represented. A demonstration of the Daily Vacation Bible School was con ducted by Rev. W. G. Ander son, of Lexington. Friday afternoon reports from the schools were given Miss Cora Price, of Grace church, Winston-Salem, read a splendid paper, subject, “The Real Teacher.” We had quite a large delega tion showing an increase. We hope to have twice as many an other year. We urge that our Sunday schools send their young people, together with the Su perintendents and pastors. Friday evening at 8:45 there was a popular meeting. Jin in teresting program was^arried out. Saturday morning Superinten dent S. S. Ross, of High Point, led the praise service, after which Miss Pandola Davis, of Lexij' 'ton, favored us with a recitation. Then came general discussions. Mr. G- R. Marsh, our field missionary, made a splendid talk'. He spoke of the different Daily Vacation Bible Schools on the field and insist ed that each school organize one. We feel thfit each Super intendent and delegate will man ifest interest in this phase of th« work. At 12:30 our business ses sions were ended and the dele gates were free to view the beautiful mountain section whicl all seemed to enjoy. We wen indeed glad to hear the manj expressions made by the entin Why expect “Big Money” from your bus-. iness when you don’t invest any money in it? It would be as foolish to expect a rich harvest of wheat when you sow oats. An investment of a small sum in an attractive Sign will pay big dividends. Think it over and let us hear from you.

By the help of God and our faithful pastor we are glad to state that our meet ings were interesting through out the services, and some stated emphatically that it was the best they have witnessed for years at Faith church. The initial song for each night was “Revive Us Again,” in which every one joined with the spirit. The first sermon, which was based upon a verse from the Acts, theme, “Obe dience to the Heavenly Vis ion,” was well delivered.
