SEVENTH STREET CHURCH NOTES. Miss Marie S. Lindsay Sunday morning our pastor, Dr. ft. P. Wyche, stated that he had been asked to preach a special sermon concerning the training of the youth. Part of his discourse was as follows: Men usually forget God. They think of him when days of ad versity come, but God never forgets. Religious instruction should begin in the home with the little child. Solomon said, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” The child should be taught to know God. His first lesson should be love. This is not an easy task; we must get God to help us. We must teach by our lives. We can not teach the child to go one way and we go another. We do not give the children what is due them. We haven’t time, so they go to the street to learn. Life is made sweeter by the cross and burdens we bear. It will pay every one to take up the cross and carry it. General officers’ meeting was held Monday night. Plans for the year’s work in the Sunday school were discussed. A program will be rendered in the church auditorium Sunday night. Miss J. B.
