SundayNight Meetings

According to the arrangement of the
PASTORS Association, the big meetings
at the tabernacle will close with Sun
day after next. Inasmuch as there
are but two more meetings it has been
suggested that these be made as large
as possible. Every man, woman and
child in Palestine is invited to the re-
naming two meetings. 1t is hoped to
have some special music.
The meetings have been great sue
cess this summer, for the pastors feel
that many have come to the taber-
nacle that would not have come to the
church buildings. They have also dem
onstrated the unity and fellowship of
all the Christian people in the city.
Let us ill the tabernacle on Sunday

SEEKING SOME
INFORMATION
Inquiries From Washing As to
Needs of Palestine's Post
office.

During the last session of congress
Congressman Gregg asked for an APP
preparation for postoflice building
for Palestine. The bill was referred
to the proper committee, and there it
has rested.
1t is evident, though, that the meas
ure is looked upon with favor, as Post
master Hall has just received instruc-
tions from the Supervising Architects
Office at Washington, to supply GER
tain data, required to be known in
case the Gregg bill passes the house at
the next session.
Such information is never asked for
unless there is probability of pas
sage. To say the least of it Palestine's
chances for new postoffice building
look favorable.

Tommie could not leave home because his sister
has the measles. but he did not tell you that, and
now you are likely to have them, too"
Lester began to look sober enough as his mamma
went on:
Last Saturday l sent you with two pals of
milk, but you did not think it important to notice
what [ told you and you took the sour milk to Mrs.
Foster, who wanted milk for her baby, and the
sweet milk to Aunt Laura, who wanted to make
johnny cake and needed the sour milk"
Lester kept his eyes on the floor. He was be
ginning to feel very much ashamed of what he
had before called simply "nistakes.'
"Now" said mamma, AL these things are just
as annoying to me as it was to YOU to find your
pocket was put on upside down; besides which they
are actually wrong and are causing you to form
very bad habit"
I'm really sorry, mammal Lester exclaimed.
'Thcn. as soon as you ready TO agree to
try to do all that tell you, in just the way that
tell Won. and not in some other way that YOU think
will do just as WELL will agree to rip off the pocket
and put it on right side up"
Il will, mamma, I'll promise now" said Lester,
soberly and earnestly

pocket held the little notebook safely and under

Dear Auntie:
BEAUTIFUL sALTAIR.

On quiet summer afternoon, one who wishes
r indulge in pleasant reyerie could not find
more favorable scene for musing than one of the
piers of the pavilion at Saltar. where can be OBJ
tanned view of the Great Salt lake. To one who
loves water the view is both beautiful and inspir-
ing Looking westward across the broad blue ex-
panse one the dark purple hills in the dis
lance. and the intense blue of the silent waves
seems TO vie with the deep of the sky above.
As the bright sunlight falls upon the gently ripping
waves they flash like mass of diamonds dazzling
the eye with their splendor. Everything is still,
and now and then adding TO tbs solitude Of the
calm and peaceful scene a seagull fits the
lake toward the distant hills. and the cool, bamy
breeze seems to watt silent message from the lone
wanderer
The scene Is even more enchanting at sunset.
When the sun in all its splendor has traced its
westward course and left behind only the fantastic
hues which drape the sky as a reminder of its de-
parted glory, the golden and crimson clouds are re-
fected in the tranquil waters beneath and the sight
IS beautiful enough for poet or painter AS the en-
raptured gaze rests with wonder upon the splendid
scene. one seems to find ones admiration for the
beauties of nature increased.

THE REAL GENTLEMEN.

A gentleman is, above all things honest and hon
orable. The term applies to no particular station
in life. The principal characteristic of gentle
man is consideration for the rights and feelings Of
others. Clothes and clubs do not make gentle
man. man must, however, be clean inside and
out. He must interpret life sincerely. His in
stincts must be refined The first sign of gentle
man is his attitude toward women. Senator Chaun-
cey M. Depew.
