When Idly Had A Beau.

The other night down at our house
when Idly had a beau.
Me an Mandy heerd a stompin' at
the parlor door, you know.
An when the door was opened up,
hollered: Idly VIM,
This is a purity time o'night to come
a-trompin in.''
An Mandy Fetched me by the arm, an
whispered, tense and low:
Fer heaven sake, quit hollerin'! Fer
Idy's got a beaun'
My face turued reds acomet trailin'
through the skies at night,
An heerd Idly whisper. "Wait until
l git light!''
An out she comes an says: PA,
that iist shamed me nearly dead;
It's cold as ice in there an you folks
pile right into bed,
Sos we kiu have thisroom," she says,
an we picked up to go,
Fer that's the first Tins in her life that
Idly had beau!
We'll, talk about flustered girl! The
likes | never saw
She called her father mother and she
called her mother paw!
"An' help me straighten up this room,
fer gracious sake?" says she;
An here l let my brogaus drop an
then she scowled at me!
l says: "We,re goin' right to bed as
fast as we kin go.'
Fer that's the first time inner life that
Idly had beau!
We go into the bed at last an herd
him take seat;
We listened to the pleasant laugh that
Idly rippled sweet.
Says l, kind o. whisperin': "Well
that's sweeter sound
Than we have been accustomed to with
jist ourselves around"
Says Mandy, sort o. sighin, like;
"Girls will be girls, you know
That's jist the way 1 fetched you in,
thirty years ago."

We have been outspoken for
years on the subject of the
state taxing all kinds of church
property. 1t is a relic OF the
union of church and state for
church property to be exempt
ed. 1t is not possible to make
any other landing from the
proposition, Central Baptist.
Correct, there is no valid reason
why church property should be
exempt from taxation. 1t is
pure class legislation and the
law by all means should be re
pealed. There is no more rea
son why the State should guard
and protect church property,
gratis. than there is that an In
surance GOA. my should do so.

Christian Church,
Monroe City, Mo.

d
Your invitation to be pre-
sent at the Church Rally and
Roll Call was received today.
There is nothing that would
give me greater pleasure than
to be present at such a service
in my home church. l should
be glad indeed to see the faces
of those with whom some of the
brightest hours of my life have
been spent and in whose well
fare 1 am always interested.
But to be present at this time
is impossible. So send greet
ings TO all of you and shall be
with you in spirit in the service
of the day
l always watch with interest
the progress of this church at
Monroe. Not merely because l
have preached in the pulpit, for
the efforts of those days were
too feeble to be of much value;
but because of what she has
been to me My boyhood days
are touched here and there with
impressions of the faith and
conservation OF her members.
Religiously my life comes of
your fostering and, how IN NC b
of present power l owe to you
| can not tell nor can you ever
know. In the old church l
made the good confession. In
a prayer meeting nearly fifteen
years ago l read for the first
time publicly passage of
scripture, the 9Th of Romans,
selected by sister Woods.
There I made my first public
prayer, From your presence 1
went forth TO prepare for the
holy ministry of the Christ, sus.
tanned by your prayers and en-
couraged by your help, for
which l shall ever be grateful.
To you 1 returned as preacher
OF the word and by you was set
apart for the divine service.
Many have been the changes
during the years and many
more await the future, manhood
and womanhood have come IL y.
on many whom l knew as boys
and girls. Many of hem share
with the older ones the re.
sponsibility of church life.
Some wnom | knew in the flesh
are gone and I shall know tn EN-
so no more.
But with all the changes and
difficulties the progress has
been Godward. And 1 can
think of the old church in but
one way: that she is moving on
to greater accomplishments and
building better day by day out
of the rugged experiences of
the past. My love for her is
yet deep and my heart shall
beat strongly for her progress
in ne coming years. L believe
brig liter blessings await her
future service. l shall ever
pray for the increasing of spirit
ual power in your individual
lives as well as for your
strength as church. And
with the swift flowing stream
OF material progress may our
spiritual desires keep pace.
The hill tops are radiant with
the dawning light of the New
Century; and, already we are
interested in it's increasing
power. Some of you will live
to see its noontide splendor;
but likely none the golden
afterglow of its dying hour.
Hence what we do must be done
