And love you Ikea mother,
In all the world-where Ger you roam
With sister, wife or brother,
You'll never know so sweet a home
As that one made hy-mother.

To toll for you lke-mother's,
In all the worl although You should
In riches nearly smother
Nou'l taste no cooking half so good
As that prepared by-mother,
In all the world-though friends sincere
And more to you than brothers,
You'll never for u moment hear
a voice so kind as-mother's.
In all tde world-although you break
The tender he rts OF others,
There is no heart can ever ache
For you as much as-mother'S.
In all the world-though you create
4 pleasure fer another,
You can give none a JOY so great,
As you eau give to-mother.
In all the world-although a wife
May you in goodness smother,
There's more who'll sacrifice a life
For you as quick as-mother,
In all the world-where You IN bliss,
May soon forget another,
There IS no one whom YOU will miss,
When She is gone, ~like-mother.

"They have held nightly meetings, and
any one knows what Methodist meetings
are. There is no chance for any
one to sleep, sick or well, nightly till
IL or 12 o'clock and sometimes later.
They have meetings every night with
few exceptions and three times on Sun
day. We have stood this about as long
as we possibly can without complaint.

other thing, you can't 20 bv the church
on any night without there is a crowd Of
young boys and girls standing on the
corners Of either Church street or Ben

safe for either married or single women
going by there without being insulted.
Rev. ID. H. Corkran was seen by re-
porter Of the EVENING JOURNAL in rela-

girls mentioned, they do mot belong to the
church, but are children Of some
of the non -church-going residents of the
