Extracts From Interesting Records Read-
 The People of the Grand Avenue Baptist
 Church Enjoy "A Reunion.
 The autumnal reunion of tho Grand avenue Baptist church was held yester- day. and proved very interesting oc- casion to all who attended. The af- fair was intended for Q gathering Of all the members of the church and con gregation and many from out of town were present. Prominent in the gath erlng were 0 number of the constitu- ent members of the church, which was organized twenty-two years ago the present month.
 At o'clock a meeting was held for the reading of extracts from the early history of the church and to listen to short addresses. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Sage, presided. The audience room had been prettily decorated with palms, foliage plants, cut flowers and flags.
 Deacons J. P. Merrow and o. J. Hull
 
 of the original membership, spoke of the early struggles of the society. Deacon Morrow has in years past been identified with the church for long periods as leader of the choir and superintendent of the Sunday school, and Deacon Hull was for years super intendent of the Sunday school and prominently connected with those who built the church. He raised a portion of the original funds and was on the build ing committee. Deacon Hull read ex- tensively from the original records and was listened to attentively. Deacon Merrow's address was also interest ing. The meeting, at which it was voted to organize the church, was held in Mrs. Watrous' house. The society, which was started with handful of members twenty-two years ago, has grown to a strong body of some 300 members and the congregation has out grown its place of worship at the cor ner of Grand avenue and Poplar street. A new and larger church building Is enc of the plans that will ere long en- list the united efforts of the society.
 After the meeting light refresh ments were served. Those present were then photographed in a group by Louis J. Bamberg. %#
 The church was crowded in the even- ing at the social gathering. There was a program of music, including vocal duets by Miss Marion Preston and Miss Hattie Denison and Miss Daisy Duell and Miss Porter; instrumental duet by Louis J. Bamberg and Miss Fannie Beebe and readings by Miss Hattie Denison. Rev. Dr. Sage made a short address. The reunion of the mem- bers of the church and congregation was very pleasant and the days exer- cises as whole were most successful.

"A CUP OF COLD WATER"

"A CUP OF COLD WATER" Friendships of summer-day, Life strolls onward with decay: On through sunny anes they glide To the yellow autumn tide, Beauty blooming every hour, Life a-thirst for one sweet flower: Wealth with glory-laden arms, Offers all her priucely charms. Shadows with them seem to play. Soon their wrinkled fces say We are hand-linked with decay. Nursing,at her breast alway." Rubies fall as in a shower, Yet life sighs f r that one flower; Would that love m ght give ) mo Just one bud of sympathy" All these thoroughfares a-bloom, Yet no heaven-bo perfume; kindled kindness in rho eyes Speaks not with voice that lies, Must the chains of selfishness Shackle love God made to bless? Must bid a world ''good-night" Ere that blossom greets my sight? Hidden ill its bosom white, Are the mystic keys to light, They unlock life's sweetest part, And some spirit in the heart Wakens chords Of happ ness, Deep within the soul to bless; Then the bel 8 unfetlered chime To the conscience for all time. An! Life climbs the altar stairs, Not alone by uttered prayers, Would you share in joys above Bend,-and give he cup of ve."

has the cigarettes, little paper boat
is improvised after the fashion OF the
