SOWING AND REAPING.
REV, PARSONS TAKES UP THE SO
CIAL EVILS AT THE BAPTIST
CHURCH LAST NIGHT AND
HITS STRAIGHT FROM
THE SHOULDER.

THE SHOULDER
The rsviva! services at the Bap.
tist church last night was attended
by one of the largest audiences
ever assembled in the building,
nearly every available seat being
taken. People who have lived in
Oc sla for many years declared that
the sermon preached by Rev. Par.
sons was the most powerful and
convincing they had ever heard de-
liyered by anyone in this city.
Sowing and Reaping" was his
theme and it was based on the fol
lowing text found in Citations vi 7:
"Be not deceived; God is not
Knocked; for whatever a man sows,
that shall he also reap. Because
he that sows to his flesh shall of
the flesh reap corruption; but he
that sows to the Spirit shall of the
Spirit reap life eternal"
After brief explanation of the
general principles Of sowing and
reaping and portraying the awful
results Of mocking God, he
launched out on his theme and dis
cussed the following propositions:
1. Sow to the saloon and you
will reap drunkards.
2. Sow to the card table and
you will reap gamblers.
3. Sow to the dance hall ard
you will reap har,ots.
In the discussions of each prop
osition be recited many striking
incidents that came under his own
personal observation as proof of
his declaration. AS the blade >ct
truth sank deeper and deeper into
the hearts of those present some
were ready to cry out with indig-
nation while others hung their
heads in shame. The speaker ex-
planned that he did not come here
to pat them on the back and tell
them what nice people they were,
but to speak the simple gospel
truth and teach them that call have
sinned and come short of the glory
of God" The dance hall, saloon
and card table were placed in the
same category and those who par
ticipated in either were alike
guilty under the law. At the close
OF the discourse seven arose and
asked for more light to guide them
into the truth. The meetings will
be continued every afternoon and
evening this week at 3 and 7:3o.

OF oil the men who cams out to us
that year, Capt. Maryott was easily the
most popular. He could sing and play
guitar and act little enough for ue-
play polo excellently and shoot uner-
ringly.
His regiment was stationed with US
for year and no one in half the world
has less to do than an army officer out
here. He rode and picnicked and Gang
and danced with the ladies. and gave the
largest odds at a wager with the men.
Every one voted him the best that had
come out for a long time.
Now there was with us Mrs. Dun
combe, and it lie che OF whom this story
tells. Marriott met her at the darring'
ton dance and at once they seemed to
get along famously.
A month q. two passed and be
showed her an unusual amour. Of at

morning down the BLACK Path" and or.

CURED many consultations for the de-
tails OF the little dinners. etc. are
numberless. Any one who had any
thing to do with such things will un-
derstand. Especially when there are
one or two a week one must have variety.
All OF this. then you see, required that
they should be much together. 1t went
on in this way and the two got to lie
very intimate aud other people looked
and talked little.
Suddenly Maryott realized that things
were going q trifie t. far. Ms. Dun
comb, had got to like him very much
and showed it to him in many little
wsye. He had entered upon the affair
with merely the idea OF little hirti.
ton, but things were getting more
serious than be had anticipated.

riding. just what was said was never
Known, nor what had occurred, except
that III re had been q smash. The cap
tain had called it nasty bit of affair
and would spea', no further even to his
iutimat., Major Prewitt.
Every one saw that something had
happened, vet neither one OF them
made it apparent particularly. and so
thirgs vent en- as before. Only they
were cot together.
Ia the spring Miss Ssfford came out
to her aunt. She was a decidedly pretty
girl AMI struck Capt. Maryott's fancy at
once. II en- the came incidents were
repeated that had happened between
the captain and Mrs. Duncon.be in the
fall. BIT this time it was in earnest on
his part and by the first of May he had
asked AID had been accepted and the
announcements were out.
They role tbs "Blsck Path" and only
