THE BIRD HUNT.
DR.. PaImore in The Indian
Territory.

Louis full OF his TRIP 10 the ihuiah
Territory, of his weeks stay in
Vinita, and OF his experience
while here. In this weeks issue
of the Christian Advocate, of st.
Louis. he says:
"About twelve years ago on a
trip to the city Of Mexico, our ex-
perience on the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas road was memorable.
This road was then in the hands
OF a receiver, and about as rough,
and in as dangerous condition as
any highway over which We have
ever travelled. A dozen years have
brought about a change that is
marvellous. There are few trains
now west Of the Mississippi that
will compare in courtsy of em
ployes, speed, comfort, elegance,
and ease, with the Katy Flyer.
After very hard days work in
st. Louis, we ate late supper there
and the next morning had break
fast in Parsons, in southern Kan
sas, having travelled about 400
miles and crossed the Missouri
river twice. About half of this
distance was along the alluvial
wealth and agricultural luxuriance
of the north side Of tina Missouri
valley, and the other half over the
beautiful and billowy prairies Of
the southwest. The growing pop
ularity Of this train was evidenced
in the fact that all the upper and
lower berths in the Pullman sleep.
or were crowded.
"The futtering focks Of prairie
chickens, flushed by the roar of
our train as we approached the In
dian Territory, carried us back to
the boyhood sports and ecstacies
of other days. Through the court
esy Of DR.. Charles Day Of the city
of Vinita we enjoyed another bird
hunt. We know Of nothing better
calculated to sweep the cobwebs
from tired editors mind than an
occasional bird hunt, especially
when attended with a few exciting
episodes Of adversely, as this hunt
was. The abundance of hawks
had driven the birds into the dense
weeds, bushes and underground Of
the valleys, and having dog that
refused to retrieve the birds that
fell it such a wilderness OF con-
fusion, we failed to bag or bring
home a large proportion of the
slain. In returning over rough
ground in the darkness of the
night, our buggy turned over, pill.
ing dog, men, guns and game into
miscellaneous mess and mass.
However, we were soon readjust-
ed with neither buggy nor bones
broken, without the sacrifice Of
anything but vanity and dignity"

A Great REVIVAL.

We commenced our protracted
meeting at Shiloh on the 10th OF
August, and carried it on ten days.
The pastor was assisted by Brother
L B. Kirby. Seventy eight made a
professions of faith, fifty-two have
connected themselves with the
church as result OF this meeting and
there are others to follow.
Brother Kirby is forcible
preacher, fine worker ia meeting
and his methods are Scriptural. We
feel that his coming among us has
been rich benediction. The power
of the Spirit was in the meeting from
the very first service. This entire
community has been stirred, and not
only has this host been brought into
the fold of God but christian people
have taken on new spiritual life and
power as we'll. We feel that this is
one of the greatest revivals we ever
passed through.

In Menorfarn


Just one year ago to day,
An angel visited my home,
And took my darling, Lizzie Barnes,
away.
All is gloomy now.
My darling one is gone,
God saw fit to call you,
To His eternal home.
You have left us weeping,
And sad your daily loss to mourn,
No one can fill your place,
But Jesus and Him alone
Though your days on earth were few,
Your little task well done,
You never murmured nor complained,
Though great your sufferings were
Lonely the house, sad the hours,
Since our dear Lizzie has gone,
But brighter house than ours.
Is Heaven, now her own.
Months have passed and still we miss
you,
Friends may think the wound lie
healed.
But they little know the sorrow.
That lies within our hearts conceal
ed.
Oft we wander to the graveyard,
Flowers to strew with tender care,
On the graves of our loved ones,
Darkness finds them resting there.
Our dearest, dearest Lizzie.
We laid thee In the peaceful graves
embrace,
But thy memory will be cherish he'd
Until l see thy Heavenly face.
BY Mamms,
