NO. 1 MILLER’S STATION, GA.—“On the 27th of August, one of the members of this church died; or, perhaps, I should express it better if I said he fell asleep—for it seemed more like sleep than death. The brother had not been a member of the church for one year yet; but all who saw him before his death felt sure that he was a saved man. He was over 76 years of age, and was one of those who had left off drinking since I came here. He was so determined on leaving it off that he would not take the communion with us the last time he was present at our services. He said he was afraid it would lead him to rum drinking again. In his case was shown the power of the Gospel. He had lived in sin for 75 years; yet, by the grace of God, and the power of His word, he was set free from the power of Satan. During his short Christian life he was kept from the sin of strong drink, and when he died he went to live with Jesus. A few hours before his death he said to me: ‘All I want now is to see my dear Jesus; I have given up all for His sake; do, blessed Jesus, come and take me when you are ready.’” “THE FIRST COMMENCEMENT ON THE OGEECHEE” is the way in which Pastor McLean, of Ga., announces the closing exercises of his parish school. Never before had those rice swamps caught the echoes of the children’s eloquence. In the twenty-eight orations and two dialogues there was not a failure. And when the fathers and mothers had a chance to express their gratitude, it was a burst of “God bless you, brother.” Best of all, of the ninety-five who have been connected with the school during the year, twenty-five have become the disciples of the Great Master since the school was opened.
