be sure to he here.
This is a fine oid country

I got their religious training. One

Hoyle. Mr. D. A. Prop>r, a mem

mission Mr. Ban* s is connected
as editor of Hearing and Doing-,

la pleasure to be in fellowship
with this congregation dunng its
celebration of the Lord's Supper.
In driving over there we lound
the roads to be in very fine con
dition, Mr. D. A. Abernethv
needs to be especially commend
ed for the splendid condition in
which his roads were found to
be. The split log drag had been
over them only a fev days pre
vious.
We over the stretch of
new sand-c'ay road at Brook ford
for the first time, and it is a
thing of beauty and a joy for
ever. It is great to think that
we will have 50 or 60 miles of
this road within two or three
years after we vote the $50,000
bond issue.
Mr. Whitener is a beautiful
| driver and knew where to find
the good roads, as if by inspira

was a small but very interesting
companion in travel.
