SANTA FEE.

SANTA FE, Oct l9.-Bro. Oakley
preached very interesting sermon at
the NJ. L. Church, Sunday morning on
the text LIST Cor. 1913. "For by
one spirit are we all Baptized into one
Body" In his discourse he showed the
relationship that exists between all
truly converted ones, irrespective of
denominational lines; Showing conclu-
sively tbatwe are all one il we have
been baptized by this Spirit, and that
we too often confuse the church "mili-
tant" with the church triumphant"
depending too much upon church (mili-
tant creeds.
At night he preached his closing SER
mon for this conference year, text, LIST
Cor. 1888 "Therefore, Ny Beloved
Brethren, be we Steadfast, Unmovabie,
Always Astounding in the Work of the
Lord, Forasmuch as We Know that
Your Labor is not in Vain in the
Lord" The latter sermon was very edi-
flying and highly enjoyed by all present.
Bro. Oakley is strong preacher and
we would be glad OF his return to this
work.
a protracted meeting will begin at the
Baptist church next Thursday night,
conducted by Bro. Thompson we hope
there will be grand revival, as it is
greatly needed in and around Santa Fe.
There are young men here who could
be power for good in the church, if
they were "baptized with that ons
Spirit"
G. A. Rogers was to see his par
ents again last Sunday. Charlie will
come to see his mother, which is com
mendablo in any young man. | don't
believe that any boy or man will make
wreck of life entirely, that revers
and loves their mother. II the boys of
this country could be made to realize
the above .factlwhat different world
we would have.
Mr.. James Stallings and wife, with
his little daughter Emma, were visiting
Mrs. Stallings kinfolks at Shady Grove
last Saturday and Sunday.
Miss Mary Addison went to see Miss
EVE Harlerson last Saturday. Miss
Evie has been dangerously ill for some
time, but we are glad to know she's con-
valescing.
Rev. Allen Fitzgerald, after an alb
sence of about two months, engaged in
protracted meetings, has returned to
Santa Fe.
Messrs ]. A. Smiser and w. B. Green
law came out from your city last We'd
nesday night and addressed a number
after which they organized Bryan
and Sewall club. Bryan is very popu-
split on the Vice-President between
Sewall and Watson. Some of the Popu-
list are anxious for a fusion.
On Thursday night the Hon. j X. p
Black burn, Populist nominee for Con-
gress, addressed the voters of this dis
trict for about one hour and half on the
issues of the day. No mud singing as
is the custom of many of our politicians
but he made a clean cut silver speech
to thedelight of most of his hearers, eX-
hibiting noble example of patriotism
which has almost been relegated into
forgetfulness.
Patriotism being exalted above parti-
zanism by that noble Statesman Hon.
w. J. Bryan, is why he is so popular
with the masses and so obnoxious tC
the classes, and when we shall see
more of our public men emulating the
example of such man, then and not
till then do we expect to see times get
better in this country; instead they
will gradually grow worse. God speed
the day when men shall put country
above party, women and children above
filthy lucre.
We like to have forgotten to say thai
we know of three white voters in this
district who are for Mckinley, who will
vote for Hon. J. X. z. Blackburn fol
Congress in preference to Arch Hughes
and great many Democrats who have
never scratched a ticket before, expect
TO do likewise this time.
