SABBATH-SCHOOL AT BELLVILLE, O.
By D. W. Reavis
Previous to our coming, this school had furnished itself with twenty copies of the Instructor, record books, maps of Palestine, and other helps. We found them following in the old path,—reading their answers from the lesson sheets, but we are happy to say that they will do no more such work. They will have perfect lessons, and will give the synopsis, as they did in our school last Sunday. This school gave us great encouragement by their hearty co-operation in every part of the Sabbath-school work. Bro. Henry Burkholder, a young school-teacher, who has just commenced keeping the Sabbath, was elected superintendent; and we are sure the youth of this school will second all his efforts, and that the school will prosper. In compliance with an invitation we went out into the country from Bellville and organized a Sunday-school of about seventy members. All the officers, and some of the teachers, are Sabbath-keepers. They use the Song Anchor and Instructor. We never saw so much interest among the people as there is here, and it has been brought about by a brother whose heart is in the work. D. W. REAVIS.
