A SUNDAY LESSON FROM ELIJAH

"Eliiah Sunday" at the Unitarian church
proved an occasion of unusual interest.
Mr. Leavitt's sermon was founded on the
scene in the life of the great prophet when,
downcast and despairing, he fled before the
wrath and threats of Jezebel into the will
derness and then, under a juniper tree,
cried, at is enough; now, o Lord, take
away my life" Then it was that the
Lord came to Elijah in the "still small
voice." bidding him stand up on his feet
and 90 back to the mission and the duties
of his everyday life. The lesson drawn
from the preachers strong and inspiring
treatment of his theme was that God is
speaking now to his children in the still,
small voice just as of old: bidding you
be ashamed of your discouragement; bid
ding you to stand upon your feet again;
telling you of the work you may do, can
do, ought to do, and that believe you will
do. 1t is not there in the past with Eli
Jan, nor in some faraway future time,
but it is now and here that you cannot lose
your friends, that you cannot fail in right
eous endeavor, that you cannot be entirely
enslaved by sin and selfshness, that love
shall reap what hope has sOwn." The
musical part of the service, with the ex-
ception of the hymns, was entirely from
Memberships oratorio of Elijah Mr..
Miller sang, at is enough with great
religious expression, and F. w. Crosby
gave very satisfactory rendering of the
tenor solo, "If wi all your hearts We truly
seek me-" Mrs. Knowlton's Interpretation
at the organ added greatly to the beauty
and impressveness of the service.

Donald Downie's lecture tonight
Snbj ect, Picturesque in Japan.
A Great Phtlanthropist.

Rev. Eliz, Ann Hammatt, of
California, who arrived il our city
this week, will lecture at the city
hall on Sunday afternoon, April
30, at 3 p. M; admission free. She
sings inspirational songs, with
guitar accompaniment, and will fol
low the lecture with musical rhym-
ing. This lady, after having had
severe experiences, was induced by
her spirit daughter to enter the field
of humanitarian work. Since So
years Of age, she has accumulated a
property worth $4,000, which she
has decided to seven trustees and
their successors forever, to found
the institution known as the
IIsmmatt Villa Park and Mediums
Home situated at Encinitas,
San Diego county, California The
purposes of this home are for the
aged and sick mediums and for the
bringing up and educating of the
orphan children belonging to
Spiri'ualists, but the speciality of
this institution ia for the cure of
the obsessed, or SO called insane
people, thereby throwing light
upon the subject of insanity through
practical work OF curing them. This
institution is unlimited and for the
United States, and has no entrance
fee at it's doors. 1t is beautifully
located, commanding a view Of
ocean and mountains of about 200
miles, and is on the line of the
Santa Fee railroad, and in a china e
where the thermometer varies hut
little from 70 degrees the year

plants stand out doors without harm
This lady has given over nine years
of her life work free, and surely
should be sustained by all humaui

dorsed, with the proper credentials.
She will also have a reception on

which we could invite them-a
cool shelter A place in which to
sit down, belonging to the city.
There are several places that
our city could secure that would
make a grand park. A park is a
kind of a breathing lung; a place
where the poor people may go with
their babies and families and enjoy
a fresh breath of air. We need a
park. Let the mayor and aldermen
of this town respond to the neces-
sites of the people and buy us a
park. Stop spending money on
high priced officials, who sit around
in the shade of the city hall, drink
ing icewater at the expense Of the
taxpayers and draw their salaries
on the principle that the less they
do, the bigger salary they get.
We are tired of seeing this city run
simply in order to pay the salaries
OF few men who are not WILLING to
work. Let us have something for
all the people. All the people pay
taxes, let all the people enjoy some
thing that this money buys. Waco
pays taxes to the amount of
about 10000 year. What
do we get for it2 Demand
of your alderman. and of
your mayor that something be
done for your health and comfort.
Demand that the streets be sprinkled
and that park be bought. Every
year the park question is put off,
which only makes it harder 10 buy,
because the ground is going up
every year. The Waco Trading
Company stands for the people, and

for taxes, instead of the city officials

Sppinkling the Streets--Some
short Let .epS-- Waco on the
Alert.

To the citizens Of Waco; There
is no one feature that will add as
much to the wealth, health and
pleasure of our city as sprinkilng
the streets. Everytime you see an
alderm IN, tackle him upon this sub
ject. We are informed that this
can be done for $40, 600 q year. We
cannot expect to have city, q
health resort, or healthy city with
dust, dirt and sand filing the eyes,
blocking the lungs, and destroying
more dry goods every year than ten
times the amount it would cost to
sprinkle the streets. There Is no
one thing the city could do, in
spending so much money, by
which so many people would be
benefited. The Waco Trading Com
pany has cooking stoves, refrlgera.

upon which we will make you very
close prices for cash or easy pay
