| IiSG cnurcn began d series OF religious
meetings Monday night at the Chau-
tauqua. DR.. Broughton, of Atlanta, is
doing the preaching. Services at 9
O'Clock a. M, and at o'clock at night.
Large crowds attend and the meetings
promise good results. Many people no
doubt have attended expecting to hear
| sensational outbursts, bat so far DIR.
Broughton has preached plain, COM
mon sense, gospel sermons, full of fire
and earnestness. Wednesday night he
will preach on the subject, eff Christ
should come to Marietta what would
He find ?" The large audiences show
that the people are interested. 1t is
hoped that there will be many people
reached in these tent meetings who
absent themselves from the churches.
No man ever becomes great or wise
or rich by accident. A young mans
prosperity must depend upon himself.
Ii you are industrious and frugal, if
you set before you distinct object in
i life you will succeed, but if you are in
dolent and improvident and change
| able, you will come to no good. A
man must have a purpose; he must
| make up his mind what he means to
make and do, or he can't reasonably
hope to succeed in life.
A town is like large family. We
| are interested in each others welfare
or should be. A cut-thoat every-
man-for-himself policy means ruin for
i any community. 1t means retrogres-
sion and failure. The first lesson any
family must learn, to be happy and
successful, is unity and mutual assis-
lance. The same applies to the bust
ness life OF town and the more gener-
ally it is obeyed the more abundant
will be the city's prosperity.
