met the boys half way and a terrible Irritation
was carried on by the Washers and mashees.

at intervals of half an hour, so enamoured
were they of the dainty Montgomery misses.
And when the shades ofi'night.. approached

away, merely to mention the fact that Harry
Hutchinson and jimmie Warren carried off
first honors, and left bleeding hearts and
anguished souls to mourn their departure.

We like to see the determination upon the
part of the various christian bodies In our
city to own houses for their ministers. A
parsonage is a big thing for q minister, II we
msy be allowed to use the term. 1t makes
him feel, not only more ut home, but more
secure than when living in a rented house
| And this for many reasons. The movement
is q good one. Nearly all Of the white
churches have parsonages. Now let oul
colored Christians initiate this example.
There is much In example and II the conduc
Of the church people in this particular will
be an incentive to our laboring people to &c
homes of their own. good work will hay'
been done In more than one direction How
many and many a w%orkingman we know
who has lIyed for years in rented houses
paid for them over and over with his month
~ stipend, and who now has nothing to show
for all this expenditure of money. Beside
the owning Of a home is a guarantee to the
state of good citizenship. Every man should
endesvor before he Is fifty to own, free from
eucumbrance, the home he lives in. VIVA
Is success after alt? Too many Of us by start
ing out with our ideas of II too highly pitch
ed fail of achieving 1t at all. Success in lifI
lies in cOntentment in that sphere in life I,
which God has called us. No one thing cal
more conduce to this than the owning o
ones home, free from debt.
