Dear Mr. If you will permit me I would like to speak through the celumns of your paper a word of appreciation for the very many kindnesses shown me by the good people whom I met during my stay in your lovely little city at the meeting of the M. E. Conference. Indeed the people of Laurel do "know how to entertain and that right royally." Several times has the writer attended meetings like this and where the hospitality of the people was called into play, but no where has he fonnd it more generous than in the city, of Laurel.

During my stay in your city I had the opportunity of seeing very near all the town. I visited the great cotton mills, the saw mills, the wagon factory, the school, the banks, formed the acquaintance of a goodly number of the leading business men of the place and was impressed with their politeness and with the vim and energy with which they turned off business. Verily, I do believe that Laurel is as free from the vagrant Jcurse as any town I have ever entered. Every body seems to have a and he is "humping" at it. Then, this is not all we saw.

We attended services at several of the churches of the city and gained considerable information in regard to the work that is being done in that part of our Master's vinyard. When I saw the churches, the Sunday schools, the prayer meetings, the Epworth League, the Baptist Young People's Union and the Y. M. C. A.

each filled with nd rescue the perishing and to make this old world better. I said surely when the last great trumpet shall sound, and the Saints go marching in, there will be many in that Heavenly host from Laurel, Mississippi. Of course, there is sin in the city--what place has it not? But righteousness is there, and God is bigger than the Devil. Well, 1 guess we will have to stop praising your town (though we really feel like keeping on) and beg you to indulge us in just one word more and that about the New Year. ti ons surround you, aves of trouble roll if the the high about ou, if the tide of battle seems be turned against you and you eed a friend to help you, just tjbuch the hem of His garment nd He, the lovely, yet high and loly Jesus of Nazareth will fly to our rescue.

Yours for a prosperous New fear, As we sit here this bright New Year's morning and our mind wonders back over the events of the past year many recollections flood in upon us. Reccollections mingled with joy and happiness. Many changes have been made since the dawn of last New Year's day. Many chairs by the fireside that were filled with lovely faces beaming with the bright cheery smiles of youth have been vacated since that day. Many a mother, who, one year ago, at the close of the day, called her God-given jewels about her knees and told them the simple story of Jesus and His love and taught them to pray, has gone to reward--a mansion in the skies.

While we probably have suffered much, we have enjoyed much. 1906 was a good old year and now we must say good bye to her. All that we can cling to is the memory, and here lies oui before ua a new year; a year that will bring to us we whal trials; a year in which each one will have battles to fight, and vie tones to be won or lost.
