The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1895-10-05

Let US love God and one another-that is
he fulfillment of the law. May the Lord
pleas you all 10 my prayer.
Mr.. Granville Clayton, was next called,
Ind said he was truly glad to meet the
brethren again, and to ind them all so
we'll, and enjoying the blessings and
privileges OF our Heavenly Father. We
,an all talk business. but We cannot talk
Tor Christ. We are forgetful OF the source
Of all our blessings. God knows our
motives. We can deceive others, and we
can deceive ourselves. but we cannot de-
ceive God. There will be great separa.
lion over there. Our lives will pass like .
panorama before Us In the day of judg-
ment. Let US discharge our duty, aud be
abe to say, like the apostle. that we have
fought . good fight; we have kept the
faith.
DINNER.
/, being about noon, the club took
recess till I 30 O'Clock.
As soon ~ the club adjourned, dinner
was announced, and the old men were
soon seated before dinner that was we'll
calculated to shorten their days. There
were great dishes of chicken, tried to
that delicate brown which makes IL look
most tempting; there were other dishes
piled up with thin slices OF two year. old
ham, which Mr.. Young knows DO well |
how 10 cure; there was abundance of the |
best OF roast beef; there was any quantity |
nG anlA
vegetables, In season and out of season; |
coffee that filled the room with its fra |
grance; tables decorated with beautiful |
cut howers; Ice cream and lemon ice, and |
cakes BY the dozen. The IHrKLLIoKNcKR
reporter attempted to sample all the
cakes. but soon found his plate piled up,
and II seemed that the cakes he did not
sample were more numerous and 10 possi-
BILE moro tempting than the ones he tried.
There were pound cakes, chocolate cakes,
angel food, cocoanut, Jelly cake, fruit
cake, spice cake, and We don't know how
msny other varieties.
The tables were waited on BY bevy Of
beautiful girls whose sparkling eyes and
rosy cheeks were we'll calculated to
dstroy the appetites OF the young men,
and make some Of the older heads dizzy In
trying 10 watch their graceful m0vsmsats
around the table. We could not blame
any young man who was caught tryieg 10
drink coffee with fork, or Who put pep
per in his Ice cream. These young ladies
were Misses Katie weedin, Mary LAnk.
