seven™ street CHURCH NOTES. Miss | S. Lindsay The attendance at church and Sunday school Sunday was large. Dr. Wyche spoke from Exodus 2:2, “And the woman conceived and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.” In speaking of mothers, the speaker said, Moses’ mother did a great deal for her race. No one gave more to the service of the world than she did. Every mother should do what she can for her children. This ig no time for a mother to be idle. She should be busy building character. Mothers will let their daugh ters go to places of which they do not approve. They are afraid of public sentiment. They should look to God and not yield. All children can not be like Moses, but they can become honorable men and women. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers Sunday.
