HIS is one of the many ways we have suggested to help
- boys to sell THE POST. It makes the work so easy
that thousands of boys have taken it up. Some are making
$10 to $15 a week after school hours.
VOU can start in this business, at once, without capital.
- Send us your name and we will forward 10 free copies,
which you can sell at five cents each. This will supply
capital for the next week’s order.

once almost exclusively occupied by
our Church and the Missionary Bap-
tists. The country is too sparsely set-
tled to justify such a division of forces.
Spiritual paralysis prevails. Yet I do
not know that the spiritual status is
below the average. At the age of 18
I began my ministry in Jasper County.
At the age of 30 I joined the East Tex-
as Conference. Newton was my first
circuit, which I traveled three years.
Atte an absence of twenty-seven ,
years I visited the town of Newton and
preached for two consecutive nights. It
was a great privilege to meet again
those whom I had known and loved in
the years agone. But many were not;
they had gone to their eternal home.
Others had moved away, so that of the
older ones whom I once knew but few
remained. Their children and grand-
children had taken their places, but
the friendly and accustomed greeting
by the once familiar title, “Bro. Ram-
sey,” was heard on every hand. Tins
place was near the center of the cir-
cuit, which was then about seventy
miles in length, and an average of fif-
teen or more in width, with eleven ap-
pointments, and some side appoint-
ments for good measure, to be filled
each month. I left Newton in com-
pany with Bro. Christian, the pastor
of the Jasper Circuit, on Sunday morn-
ing for a drive of seven miles behind
his good ponies, to Farr’s Chapel,
where we used to have our annual
appointment on the work. Here we
had a great day. The people came in
buggies, wagons and on horseback for
mlany miles around. I preached and we
shook hands, we cried and we shouted
together. Truly it was a time of re-
freshing from the presence of the
Lord. After the morning services
were over a sumptuous dinner was
spread on tables on the ground. We
lived over the days of yore, and talked

of people who have instructed him to deliver THE POST for
four consecutive weeks.
We worshiped “in due and ancient or-
der,” even to the lining of the hymns
as did our fathers. On the following
Sabbath it was my great privilege to
preach at Magnolia Church, Jasper
County. Many precious memories
cluster about this consecrated spot.
