SLANG.

At Lovers Oak, where youth with beauty viz
One day beneath its shady bower
saw an angel form, thought I'd try
In her sweet smiles to pass the hour.
She was Young and fair to see,
With eyes soft as the dawn Of light,
And pouting lips, it seemed to me
A lovers kiss they would invite.
She was sitting on the grassy sod,
Looking in detected mood,
And seemed devoted to huge wsd
OF dixie gun that she chexed,
am told that Cnpd's aving darts
From Lovers Oak forever hang,
Ready to pierce the maiden's heart
That uses slang.
It does one good to see this tree, said I,
And look at it's foliage rare and bright;
With maiden shyuess she did reply,
That's right.
This sylvan spot, l softly averred,
The foot Of man would almost defle;
She replied as sweet as singing bird,
Well, should smile.
Look at the distant view!
See the graceful lines of sailing packet!
In tones Of languid melody she grew,
tumble to the racket.
Notice, fair one, how each bird
Selects its sweetest vocal gem;
She dwelt 10 raptures on every word,
Said: am on to them.
Dost thou often wander to Lovers Oak,
Its beauties and qnletude to feel?
Every maiden's record l have broke
On foot or wheel?
With tender feeling I asked her to cream,
She seemed proud that we had met;
With speech like a ripping stream
She said: You bet.
Beneath the shade we were walking,
Loves young dream was in the chat;
She smiled and said, YOU are talking
Through your hat.
In sweet converse fingered at her side,
Her words musical as a fairy song;
With aching heart left as she cried,
So long.
was not charmed by her voice rich,
Nor her face so sweet and young;
But it was the gift with which
Her slang she slung.

The Tupelo Journal tells of a
Georgia woman who died and left o
fortune Of $4,000 to local paper, be.
cause the reading Of which ''had given
her many happy hours" The Journal
naivcly suggests that some OF Its
wealthy readers should die In behalf
Of good cause, by remarking: "The
example of this good lady is worthy of
emulation" The unfortunate fact
connected with the story as told by
the Journal, Is that the name OF the
paper Is not given. The history Of q
country paper that, for years. was u

CHRISTIAN WORKERS CONVENTION
The Proceedings OF Yesterday Addresses BY
Prominent Divines

The morning session of the Christian
Workers convention opened at Simp-
son tabernacle yesterday with devotion
al exercises led by Rev. Mr.. Clellend.
Rev. E. w. Caswell followed in an ad-
dress on Baptism With the Holy Spirit.
The leading thoughts were: The per-
son of the Trinity is the source of pow
err Baptism, not with power, but with
the Holy Ghost; power not the result.
but spirituality. 1t is the unfolding
power of God manifested in believers;
result, JUNCTION and witnessing.
Rev. H. C. Waddell followed in an ad-
dress on Baptism Through Faith.
The afternoon service opened with a
song service led by Mr.. Wallace.
Rev. A. C. Bane' preached the dis
course of the afternoon, taking his text
from First Corinthians. ii:14 The
speakers theme was the spirit filled
man. He is not natural man, said the
speaker, he is a divine man. The spirit
filed mind is not a natural mind, but
divine mind. 1t is one thing to be born
Of the spirit, another thing to be filled
With it. If in your experience you are
still wandering around Calvary, you
have only seen the incarnate, dying
Christ; the Pentecost gives you risen
Christ The spirit filled man has re-
ceived the Holy Ghost; the one VINO
says yes to all of Christ's requests. He
is a separated man; a called out man
called of God, separated from the world.
His churchianity has melted away into
Christianity; he has his citizenship in
Christ. He is, one in whom self has died ;
in whom the ego has been slain, purged
of selfishness. He has fallen out with
himself and fallen in with God. Such
man cannot be wounded or sighted
or hurt, for he is nothing. The spirit
filled man will have deeper insight of
God; has received faculties that ena-
bles him to discern spiritual things.
He is a man of faith, and implicitly
trusts God, and never doubts word
God has promised.
The sermon was followed by prayer
service led by Rev. H. c. Waddell.
In the, evening a half-hour prayer
study preceded the address by Rev
