I think all the teachers stress-
ed the teachings of last Sunday's
lesson as to service, showing
that we can serve the Lord L grand

The picnic and barbecue given
at Deanville Wednesday under
the auspices of the Hermann
Sons was a great success. There
were people there galore, from
{Caldwell and all the surround
ing country. The address of
the occasion was delivered by
Hon. J. R Heslep. Speeches
were also made by John McCowen
W. M Hilliard and C. S. Williams
candidates for county judge
There was tine barbecue, plenty
of cool refreshments and excel
lent music all day and night by a
brass band. At night there was
ball and an enormous
only as we serve our fellow
man. We hope that this lesson
may bear fruit, some practical
every day fruit. Miss Molly Jim
Gilley recited a poem that
brought out the thought of th«
lesson in a beautiful and forceful
way.
Next Sunday it is the story of
"Blind Bartimaeus." Mark 10
46 to 52 inclusive The Golden
Text is one of Isaiah's prophe
cies which is partially fulfilled in
this lesson; "Then the eyes of
the blind shall be ojwned
and the ears of the deaf
shall be unstoped. Then shall
the lame man leap ¿us a heart, and
the tongue of the dumb sing."
We are impressed in this story
of the blind man, with his earnest
determination to get his case be
fore Jesus, and then with his
readiness to state definitely what
he wanted- How often do we
offer prayers that have no defi-
nite object in view. This man
refused to be deterred by oppo
sition, but persisted in calling to
Jesus. When we earnestly de
aires blessing of the Lord we
must not become discouraged on
account of difficulties but with
earnest faith, continue to pray
for the blessing. He is as ready
to bless us today as he was to
bless this blind man. The trouble
is not that the arm of the Lord is
shortened, but the trouble is
with us. Let us pray that our
spiritual eyes may be opened
And let us pray definitely for a
blessing on our school and our
town. Brother McLarty is ar-
ranging to hold a meeting about
the middle of August and we
want to see a great spiritual re-
vival. Let us be in earnest
about it. as much so as was Barti-
maeus, and we shall see it.
"Thy faith hath made thee
whole."
