tween stations In the Indian Terri

services we're held.
Seemingly more than the usual in.
terest was manifested In the services,
the ministers being at their best and
the singers in remarkably good voice.
Impresslveness and devoutness
seemed, certainly, TO have ushered In
the FIRST Sunday Of the century's last
winter.
AT the Methodist church Rev. @. L.
Browning, who was recently called TO
the past)r delivered his first SER
mon Of the new church year and his
effort gained for him the love and re-
spect OF his congregation. Brother
Browning, by which appellatlon he
prefers TO be known, pleaded earnest
ly for cooperation in ths holy work
OF saving souls.
The subject chosen for the morning
discourse was: "Bear ye one Anoth-
er's Burdens and so Fulfill the law Of
Christi"
Eloquently the minister by slmlle,
quotation and apt word painting illus
trated to his attentive listeners the
Importance and ponderous meaning
Of the text.
The hearers were held 10 rapt at
tentlon throughout the entire dis
course, the minister furnishing them
much food for thought. He closed
with an eloquent admonitlon fer none
TO forget the duty they owe to those
who are unfortunate, as the oppor-
tunity TO help bear the burdens OF
Others Is ever presenting itself.

took her in charge and, after rs-
storing the goods to the box, gave
the girl a sound lecture; ordered
her never to return to the store

Home-folks has crops to plant and plow,
Er lives in town ann keeps a COW;
But whether country -jakes er town,
They know when eggs is up er down!
La can't you spot 'em-when You meet
Em anywheres-in field er street,
And can't you see their faces, bright
As circus day, heave into sight
And can't you hear their "howdyl" clear
As brook s chuckle to the ear,
Aud allus find their laughin' eyes
AS fresh and clear as morning skies'
And can't you-when they've gone away
Jis feel 'em shakin' hands, all day.
And feel, too, you've been higher raised
By sich a meetin'l-God be praisedl
Oh, home-folksl you're the best Of all
Al ranges this te. estchull ball.
But north or south, or east or west,
It's home is where you're at your best
It's home-it's home your faces shine,

Two soft hands, whose rose.leaf
fingers were wont TO wander Low.
ingly around mothers neck and
face, loosly holding white buds,
are now quietly folded in cofIined
rest.
Soft lips, yesterday rippled with
laughter, sweet as woodland brook
falls, gay as the thrill Of forest
birds, tonight unresponsive TO kiss
or call Of love.
A silent home-the patter of
baby feet forever hushed-a cradle

worn, dainty garments, shoulder

Of yesterday, folded away.
