1t has been said that those love truth
best who are to themselves true, and
what thew dare dream of dare do. This
statement is simple, yet bears such a
weight of conviction. Its lessons must
be learned in part, and each part should
become part of the learner. Truth
cuts, yet we wish to have it because it is
truth. The liberty that truth gives will
enable us to carry out the high ideals of
which we dare dream. Despite the
storm and cold, our services were very
we'll attended. The Y. P. s. O. E. meet
ing was quite enthusiastic. The stereop-
can entertainment was very good and

The concert given at Bethel A. M. E.
church on Feb. I'd, was success with
few exceptions. Miss Fanny Dobney's
solo was sung in high, st aimed voice.
The lady must get over being stage
frightened or she will never become
successful singer. Mr.. R. T. Taylor's
tragedy was given in such a loud man
ner that he almost frightened some of
the ladies out of their wits. Miss Hattie
Crawford's solo was quite good. The du-
cts by Miss. H title Crawford and Miss
Fanny Dobney Was complete failure,
and thew should always remember that
1t is ways unbecoming to ladies to
laugh and giggle on the stage. 1t is bet
ter to amuse and entertain an audience
than to disgust them by laughing all the
while. Mr.. George Browns solo my
