RED RIVER LINE.
Six Steam Boats and Eleven Barges
In the Service.

The friends of the Red River Line
will be pleased to peruse the inter
esting information conveyed
through a recent issue of the New
Orleans States, which says:
"The Red River Line will operate
this season six steam boats and
eleven barges in Red River, from
New Orleans to Shreveport and
from the latter place to Jefferson
and to points on upper Red River,
within the last two years this
line has lost four good boats from
suags in Red River Year before
last two steam boats and two
barges were built for the line, last
year two more steam boats and
two barges and at this time anoth-
er steam boat and two more barges
are nearly builded. There is no
line of transportation anywhere,
on water on land, great or small,
managed with more method, or
with a more intelligent persistent
effort to develop the commerce OF
the Red River Valley with New
Orleans than by this line,
We should like to add that if our
merchants would put themselves in
with the president
of this line who is none other than
Captain Charles Thurlow, and get
him interested to run one of his
small steam boats and badges in
Sulphur River, in connection with
the Texarkana & Fort Smith Rail
road which crosses Sulphur River at
a nayigable point, we could get
water rates on all goods shipped
from New Orleans to this place and
could ship our cotton direct to
Liverpool via New Orleans, This
subject has been discussed before
and needs no long winded argument
to convince the merchants here as
we'll as our citizenship, the needs
and the saying such a service
would bring us, and we merely lay
the matter before our people once
more and ask them to act on the
matter.

hundred people paid admission at
the gate. There were many spec

compliments. Mr., Gordon Jones of
Marshall, Texas, sang well and was
recalled three times.

charms to the entertainment by the

out applause. The choir rendered
valuable service in chorus, The

The Race to Denver.

The Colora 20 special, the new fast
train of the Union Pacific and North
western lines, pulled into the union
station at 20, ten minutes ahead of
schedule time, having accomplished
the run from Chicago, 1000 miles, in
twenty-eight and One-half hours. A
large crowd was present at the station
to greet this innovation in rapid train
service. The efficiency of the new SER
vice has been cOnclusively proven, ard
it's success seems only matter of time,
enough for patrons to accustOm them
selves to the new schedule.

ligh';" Matt. KID. 30. The speaker
said Christ as brought up as a car
pen ter, and had made many yoke.
ana of course noticed the burdens
born by oxen. Life is great field of
service, and man is the servant. Jesus
never intended to exempt us from
burden bear ng; but if we follow his
be asier than without Christ's yoke.
Christ said life is your burden, life is
your service. You can't draw well
without yoke; so remember that
Christ's yoke is the easiest of all the
Jokes However, life is not necessari-
ly burden to us; for.it may be made
easier by our Lords yoke. But be
careful as to the kind of yoke you be ar.
One is furnished by tie SAVIOR,
and tie o,her. by the devil; and they
are as different as they can be. The
devils yoke has 1eceitful appearance
1t may for time seem lighter on q
man, but this is a mistake, and proves
rainous in the end. The speaker
warned his hearers to beware of the
yoke of self righteousness which is
readily furnished by the devil.
Christ's yoke meaus r chteous life,
and to live as Christ live T. means
that we must ACCEPT Christ d ex-
pa-ience regeneration as a new an.
Behind the clouds is the smiling face
of God. If We are rebellious against
his yoke we will show that we d. not
appreciate what Christ has done for
US. Accept the yoke of Christ, and
the burdens of life will be rolled
away.

Petition to Congress.

In Trinity chur ch yesterday morning
Rev. j. L. French, the pastor, read the
communication from the national w.
G. T. U to the evangelical churches
throughout the country, which ap-
pear, d in Saturdays HERALD, and
ing of hands.
The pastor then preached from L
John III: 1919; beginning, thereby
perceive me the love of God because
he laid down his life for US; and we
ought to Jay down our lives for our
brethren.' The speaker said this pas
sage is calculated to excite comment
ciples of love, ell relating to each
other. We have first love as q theory,
love in action, love in life: all out of
this text. This text is not q mere
sounding sentiment, but is intended to
be carried into action. Christ laid
down his life for us, and We should be
ready TO lay down our lives for each
Love for one another is not a pure
logical deduction; it is lofty
ideal; We should have compassion,
love one another as Christ
had loved us. This does not mean an
actual, physical d. ing for each other,
but a practical, useful assistance, as
the apostle says, let US love one au-
other, not by WORD or tongue, out IN
deed. The curse of today is that ps O.
pie will not believe the preacher; they
don't want to believe the gospel. Love
in action, love in life is what this
world needs. Having your feelings
touched alone will not do. The mere
shedding of tears won't wash your sins
away Sensstionalism is not true low 4.
Peace does not come fret, and then
grace: but grace comes first, and then
peace as matter of course follows.
1t is all right go throug h3the sacra-
ments of the church, but they are q
dead letter without the love of God in
our hesrts.

Anent kissing.

Atlanta people are becoming alarm
ed over kissing that threatens to be-
come a social epidemic.
The Rev. Sam P. Jones, Georgia g
tel evangelist, has taken the mat
ter up aud in an authorized interview
adds to the warning that has been
made. He ssys:
questions" he says in a fatherly way.
First, who is it that wants kiss, and
what is he going 70 do with it after he
gets it? What will follow this kiss, or
fhese kisse-? Really first class ladies
don't do much kissing before they are
married, in my judgment. The Sec
ond class can do pretty much as they
please anyhow.
81 don't want anybody kissing my
gong to kiss anybody else's sister, for
no gentleman will treat another mans
sister or wife or daughter differently
from what he would ask for his own
sister or wife or daughter.
''When kissing comes in crazes it
becomes dangerous, and I've known OF
some instances where it impaired con.
tagion. A young lady's lips ought to
be as sacred as her character. Touch
not, taste not ought to be the motto OF
every pure girl. There are too mary
wrecked already, and too many charac.
terless dudes.
"Modesty and purity are the two
pillars that uphold women's character.
You knock either of these pillars out
from under her character, and down
she goes, and after the devil gets wo-
man down and puts his foot on her neck
she never gets up.
"Our girls devote too much time to
beauty of the face and the fashion oil
dress. But after all. beauty of char.
acter is the thing, for by and by the
the luster will fade from the eyes, but
. beautiful character, upheld by the
pillars of modesty and purity, will
shine on when the stars have grown
dim and while the dateless calendar OF
the future is wearing away"
