read and write and spell. On Sunday they "meet out" at 9 o'clock in
the morning for Bible study and worship, and again in the afternoon
for sacred song service and church. Thus they spend the entire day.
The county Superintendent has visited Mr. W's "Saturday class," and is
about to recommend such movements throughout the county, as a means of
keeping up an interest in education during the long period between the
sessions of the free school, which rarely last longer than three
months in a year. Who knows but that from this small beginning great
good may grow?

Mr. W. is not a Congregationalist, nor is he a minister of the gospel,
but he and his estimable wife are doing good work for Christ in their
own community. This is by no means an isolated instance; all over our
mountain country are schools established by the American Missionary
Association, which are doing valuable work in and through their
students.
