BAPTIST NEWS.

We were pleased TO welcome into our
midst on Sabbath morning Brother
Herbert Harrington of Boone.
On Sabbath morning the pastor
preached OH the subject 1.-The Pulpit
and Politics." In the evening he
preached to large congregation avery
interesting and helpful sermon on "a
new Standard Of Criticism
At the close of the evening service the
ordinance of baptism was administered
to a number of candidates. The ordi.
nance will also be observed on next
Sabbath evening
The B. Y. F. u. meeting was led by
Brother George Morris. A number of
very interesting reports upon the
growth and work of Baptist. Foreign
Missionaries, were read by some of the
members q ;s
While many ofour Methodist friends
were welcome to the Sabbath evening
service, it is a source of regret that
Rev. Harris sickness was the occasion
of their coming. The pastor tenderIy,
referred to Brother Harris in his even
ing prayer. We hope his s.ckness will
be but temporary.

templates the consolidation of all the

THE CITY LIBRARY.

1t is now a number of years since the
generosity of Mrs. McKim provided
Denison with reading room equaled
by those of few other towns in the
state. With such an impetus it would
seem that our city should by this time
have had a splendidly equipped library,
filled with good books for the free use
of the people. Instead we find poorly
equipped library half filled with books
for the most part shabby and worn out,
and composed of works that are now
far behind the times. Next to our
public schools for which we provide so
generously, the public library should be
the greatest educational factor in our
community. There are few families
who can afford all the books they want
OR need and the public library should
supply these. 1t should be the place
where the mechanic could of an even
ing find technical books which will help
him to do better work, where the clerk
could ind educational advantages which
would aid him to better bis condition.
where the book keeper or clerical man
could find good clean light literature as
a change from other work. The books
should go into the homes, Frightening.

IS fact that while the reading room is

tented with the antiquated books now

this move. The children should have
enough to occupy them during school
hours without outside reading and after
school they should not be allowed to

Mayor Kemmlng is in receipt Of off
cial notice that Denison is soon to be in
possession of one of the trophies of the

This interesting historical relic was
secured for Denison by the request Of
Gov. Shaw. 1t IS an old piece, the date
showing that it was made in Seville,
Spain, the 18th of August. 1895. No
one can tell the misery and suffering,
the cruelty and oppression dealt out by
the iron hand of Spain from its brazea
mouth. 1t should be constant lesson
of patriotism and love Of liberty to our
people.
The following is the letter received
by Mayor Kemming telling of the good
news to Denison and describing the
gun. 1t will be seen that the gun is
simply loaned to Denison and that the

we interpret the word school in its,
broadcast sense, and believe That it is of
utmost importance III t those whom
the pressure OF necessity has driven
from school before their education was
completed should have every oppor.
tunity to supplement what education
they have. A pubic library if one of
the best forms of public charity. 1t is
charity which anyone can accept with
out losing his self respect. II is char
ity which opens up new avenues of
,helpfulness, and tends toward better
living
Denison should have a first class Ii
brary of new and up to. date books.
i One thousand dollars is needed to start
; the new movement. We urge upon all
the great good which public library
would do, and ask the people OF. our
city to take this matter up and push ii
to success. A Thousand dollars will
buy approximately $50 volumes, and
i the good these books would do lis beyond
! calculation. Why cannot the numerous
clubs undertake the task of raising
! this money. The REVIEW will ga9ly
render all the assistance, both material
and otherwise in its power.
