  • Notes 
    • Evangelical Visitor, 15 April 1895

      Dear Editor:

      I thought I would write a few lines for the Visitor, and for little folks to read, as I am a little girl eight years old. This is the first time I have written for the Visitor. I have my home at J. W. Hoover?s, South Cayuga, Ont. I came here five years ago. My mother died when I was two years old. After that I went to my grandma?s and stayed there one year. Since that I have stayed here. I have six brothers and six sisters. I like my home here. I go to Sunday school and to day school, and my studies are spelling, reading and arithmetic. I like to read the letters in the Visitor. My Pa Hoover preaches for the Brethren. He is away from home a great deal and ma and I stay at home. Sometimes ma goes along with him, and then I go to grandma?s till they return. I love to go to meetings and prayer meetings and hear of Jesus, and tell what the Lord does for me. I hope when I die I will go to heaven.

      I will close for this time.

      JESSIE HOOVER. South Cayuga, Ont., March 11, 1895.


      Evangelical Visitor, June 1, 1895

      FROM A MOTHERLESS CHILD.

      Dear Editor:

      I will try and write a few lines for the Visitor and for little folks to read. This is the second letter I have written for the Visitor. My home is still with J. W. Hoover, South Cayuga, Ont. I stayed with my grandma this winter for four months while pa and ma Hoover were away to do union work, and when they came home they brought me here again. Since then my grandma died. She died on the 16th of April and was buried on the 18th at Rainham Centre, services in the Baptist church conducted by Rev. J. Trikey, assisted by J. W. Hoover. It seems so sad that I have no mother nor grandma any more. But I like my home here. I go to Sunday School to learn of Jesus. I hope more little girls will write in the Visitor, and especially those that have lost their ma and pa. But God will provide for his children if we only trust him.

      I want to be an angel and with the angels stand,

      A crown upon my forehead, a harp within my hand.

      JESSIE HOOVER
