In "A Methodist Minister Hunting Snakes," a story is told of a Methodist minister visiting slaves in their cabins and discovers how one woman has learned to read the Bible and to gather snakes with another slave. "Why do we Write?" discusses the importance of writing. An open letter "To Our Soldiers" encourages them to be patient and strong. Resolutions memorializing certain Baptist leaders are included in "Tribute of Respect". An article titled "Influence of Mothers" praises motherhood and another titled "Parental Duty" examines parental duty.
