OLD SOLDIERS SATURDAY
CAPT. JAMES A. LEAK WRITES LD'lTljß
his W.fi Jc Sick, Which May Prevent His Attend
ance, But He Urges Everyone Who Loves the
Old Soldiers, to Come to Danbury and
Bring a Basket.
Peter's Creek, Va., July 30.
To the Confederates Veterans of Stokes county :
The 11th day.of August is the time set for our reunion and I hope
you all will be sufficiently interested to be there on that day and let
us make it one of the grandest days in the history of Danbury. Be
there promptly at 9 o'clock in order to get through with our exercises
in time for the speaking and dinner, and I hope the people of Stokes,
together with the soldiers who are able, will make ample arrangement
fir a good dinner and a good time.
I know that the good people of Stokes lore the old soldiers too
well and are too patriotic to suffer us to make a failure. There is ono
thing sure, we wont be here long to have reunions
1 want everybody that can to be there and more especially the
young ladies, for when ever the ladies are interested there cati be no
failure
I am fearful that the illness of my wife will prevent me from being
| there and if lam not there 1 hope ihe other officerb will I'll my plaoe.
I thank the people for their past kindnens and hope they will b#
| amply paid for their trouble on this occasion.
Respectfully,
J A. LEAK.
; Letter From Prosperity, West Va.
Prosperity, W. Ya.,' July 31, .
iAs time permits me, I will try to
write a few lines in your columns,
l as somo one might like to soe a
few words from me. lam sure 1
: like to read articles from that
oonnty for I foci like that county
is coming to tho front and this is
. right; let each one try to mnko the
; county bettor for it will bo just
what we make it; let us live true
to our county and not only to our
! country, but live for Christ. For
j that i 3 the great end that wi. all
|should live to, for we find that,
I Chridt is the end of the law, for'
' righteousness. Then if that bej
BO why can't we ali liva for IV.rist, j
! for He suffered df rtth for i'; all.]
|lf we then will only hear H'.s call
and obey it, we will ba Christians
'and He calls us through the gos
pel. That is the only was timt He
| has ever caied any one sinco He •
'ascended u;> into g'.orj. Now
some ono might want to know
what this gospel is; weli my friend
it is the word of God as recorded
in the Bible. The New Testament
Scriptures are our guide Some
i oue may bay that the Bible is only
a dead letter. If we say thut, we
make out (lod a liar for He says
that His words arc true and they
are life. Theu again Ho says :
though if an angel from Heaven :
preach any other gospel than this
I let Him b« aocursed. Then He
\ sayß today ia the accepted time; if |
: you will hear His voice harden
not your hearts; take ray yoke upon
! you and loam of me for my yoke '
ia easy and my burden is light.
Then Again He Buys the bride
says come and the spirit say a
come and whosoever will let liim
come and take of the wator of life
ifroely. Then we can very easily
: see that wc RII are bidden to come
and follow Christ, Then He snya
if pay m«o he&rotb these sayings
of Mine and doeth them, 1 will
liken him unto a wise mau who
built Hi 3 house on a rook and the
wind i blew and the flood a came
' and the house fell not because it
was founded on a rock, but he
that hoareth thorn and doetii them
! not. 1 will liken him unto n foolish
I man who built hi* house? on the
saud; the wind blew and the flood*
i came and that hoube fell and
'great was the fall of it. So we
can readily see I hat w» all have a
promise of eternal life if we will
only confess Christ and live up
to the commands of the Gospel.
Then some otio might want to
know how wo are to confess him.
Well, we see in tho scriptures ot
eternal truth that with tho mouth
mau speaketh and with tho heait
loonfession ia made unto salvation
then he that bolievoth with all
his heart that Jesus is the Christ
• the son of the living God, he i«
a tit subject for beiug baptised;
: then if we be baptised into Christ
we are saved from our past sins.
Then if we live faithful
unto death we have a right to the
j tree of lifa ahd can enter in
' through the gates into the city
and be forever with tho Lord.
Respectfully,
I JOSEPH F. W.
