Price coats. closing of our public school was delivered last Sunday morning at the Christian church by Rev. J. A. Wailes of Shelbina.

The text was taken from 1st Corinthians 16th chapter and 13th verse "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit ye like men, be strong." The speaker analyzed the text in a very forceful and practical manner. The education and development of the soul should go hand in hand with the training of the mind and body. No one can reach to the highest attainments in life without a robust christian character. Many people live their alloted time without seeing half the beauties of life in science, art literature, and even in nature about them, because they do not watch, study and train themselves to com prehend tnem. oe aieix, oe on me I A.
