WORKERS :-- ; Dear Brethren:--We desire that a "Forward March, all along the Une," be consummated in tbe Sunday School work of this county this year, and we would suggest two ways iu which the efficiency ef our Sunday Schools may bo iaceased. First,--Let there be Sbme system devised in each school by which a thor- ug i bou'ie to hou->e visitation may be made, Inviting all the members ef the family, especially tbe children, to our schools and study God's Holy Word. Wc will uot say what plan ought to bn adopted, as eacu school knows its own field, and can best plan its own work. Second, there are quite a number of school houses in rural districts where tbe people ba?e no religious privileges and where a Sunday School might be held. We would suggest that each school look around in its own vicinity and see if there is not an opportunity for work In this way. Praying that you may all be*direct­ ed so that the most may be done in winning souls to Him we are. Your brothers in His Service, B. R. MORSB, Pros. B. B.SMITH, Sec.

The Neighbors invited their wives and sweethearts to attend, so th it tbey might behold the trials and tribulations that a Mod­ ern Vood man has to go through for their welfare. They had the pleasure also, of witnessing a candidate duly adopted. The goat was also there In proper shape. But after all that we sufior and endure for their dear sakes they had th a cheek to pronounoe It a put up job o I them aud a farce. After the Camp had finished their business the ladies requested them to remain quiet as It was their turn for a treat. A committee of ladies retired and in a short time we were served to refresb- meuts iu the shape of cakes of all kinds and descriptions, with {lemonade in great abundance. So after all It appears that they do appreciate the nardsnip8 we have to endure for ttiem and they also proved that they could keep a secret coo. There ought,to be an agent of tue Illinois Humane Society here, for every week our citizens are called on to witness exhibitions of brutality te horses that should be stopped.
