Mr. Southern Replies To Mr. Pulliam.
Pink, Aug. 5.
Mr. Pulliam, what did 1 say in j
my article of July 20th that give
you any grounds to say that I
think oriino .is taught in Sunday
School ¥ If crime is not taught
by Sunday School teachers you
are not one, for any man that can't
instruct pupils, the difference in
teacher and friend can't instruct
pupils carnal things, much less
the word of God.
Well, you say I can't say any
thing against Sunday School for
you think you are sai'e iu spy
ing that I never was in Sunday
School not even to hear the roll j
called. Well, I can say that I was !
in what 1). W. Hall and B. F.
Pulliam call Sunday School, and
O. L. Pulliam was there ami I rati
tell you the flrst chapter that D.
W. Hall and B. F. Pulliam re id.
It was the fourth chapter of Mat
thew and the reading was all right, I
but look out for time to come for
the rest, (rod forbid that I should
ever risk myself in hands of Sun
day School teacher, yet I think
there is seventy-five per cent, of
the rising generation risking that
for their salvation. John 10-2j, i
•'But yo believe not because you j
are not of my sheep as I said unto ,
you. My sheep hear my voice and
I know them and they follow
me."
His sheep will not follow the
Sunday School teacher by the laws
of God now for by grace they
are saved through faith and that
not of the Sunday School teacher,
lest they should boast.

KING ROUTE TWO.
King Route 2, Aug. 5.
Mr. Editor :
Again I ask for a small space in
your paper to say a few words that
come to my memory now. If I
could only recollect half that oc
curs to me while out on my route,
I could write lots more. 1 am now
enjoying the greatest pleasures of
the R. F. D. for peaches, apples
and other nice fruits are in season
and my patrons do not fail to re
member No. 2 with such good
things to eat. Never shall I for
get the way some patrons of my
route appreciate the R. F. 1). ser
vice. They do not neglect to re
pair the roads when they need it.
I'm sure some realise how import
ant it is to the carrier, who has to
travel a road six days in the week,
to have a road that is kept in good
shape. And I'm sorry to say it
seems io me that some people only
say "'oh ! well, that boy travels this
road every day anil he's got so he
don't mind it now if it is rough
and washed out in gulleys." Yes,
certainly we get used to such, but
wouldn't there be some change in
the sweet bye and bye.
I learn the Postmaster General
has ordered that the boxes be
painted, also numbered. I think
it would be nice for «ach patron
to have a box numbered and then
have his mail addressed so.
I hope to see all the R. F. 1).
girls out witli more nice apples
and peaches especially the day I
have to paint the boxes,
