when you hear the mellow tones
of the church bell pealing forth
the welcome and the .solemn ad-
monition of the obligation we
owe to the Creator, don’t hesi-
tate, but go, and it may prove
the Star of Bethlehem that illu-
minates your pathway to the
home beyond.
Go and see the glad hearted
children gathered there, with
bright faces wreathed in happy
smiles and listen to the soft
sweet music of the orchestra,
the melody of the organ and the
soul inspiring anthems of the
choir.
Go, and maybe it will furnish
you the gospel of comfort that
you need in the message of love
that will be taught.
The Upshur County Teachers’
Institute in Gilmer this week
marks an era in the educational
history of the county. Its activ-
ities, its lessons and its lectures
has stimulated interest in educa-
tion in the county, and the inter-
est manifested and the publicity
given to its proceedings has at-
tracted attention elsewhere, and
there has been visitors from a
distance to note the -interest
manifested and take note of the
good work being accomplished.
Our limited space has pre-
cluded the possibility of our tell-
ing in detail all that has been ac-
complished, though we have en-
deavored from day tQ_dayto
give the leading features
of the subjects discussed, and in
this connection we want to thank
Judge W. A. Phillips, who has

of the matter taught is due
merely to the weight of tradition,
