the 10th, visits Mars on the 18Th, Uranus
on the 2lst, makes short call on Mercury
on the 3lst, and having made the rounds
will spend New Years day with Venus.
She will probably not make many mashes
during Lent, but after that any dude can
gaze at the ''star."
1t is said Rev. Van Wagner preached
a very beautiful discours~ last Wednesday
evening, taking as his text John 12Ih chap
ter, third and fifth vers.s: Then Mary
took ointment very costly, and anOinted
the feel of Jesus and wiped them with her
hair and the house was filled with the
odor."
While listening 10 the above, lady In
this city wrote the following appropriate
lines in hymn book:
We're not the sinful Mary's tears
An offering unto Heaven,
AS DER the faults of former years
She wept and was forgiven
When bringing every balmy sweet
The days Of luxury stored,
She Ger the Savior's hallowed feet
The precious odOrs poured.
And wiped them with her golden hair
Where once the diamond shone,
Tho now those gems Of grief were there
Which shono for God alone.
Thou who hast slept in errors sleep,
0whouldst thou wake in heaven
Like Mary kneel, like Mary weep,
Leve much and be forgiven. c. ID.
