The Christian church was crowded
pastor. Elder C. c. Hill, delivered a
special address to the Odd Fellows
OF Roswell, VINO attended the service
in a body. The speakers subject
was Pure and Undefiled Religion, =
his topic in the Bible being the first
chapter of James
The purpose of the sermon was to
show the unselfishness of Christiani-
ty, and that one of the great results
of universal Christianity would be
universal brotherhood, which would
also be one of the results of uniyer-
sal Odd Fellowship. and thus the kim
ship of Christianity and Odd Fellow
ship was proven.
The speaker began by showing thai
Christianity is adapted to all human
ity and that one of Christ's principal
teachings was brotherhood. Christ
emphasized the fact that all men are
brothers, in parallels, and this idea
was set forth by the angels who an
nounced the birth of the Savior.
Continuing his thought, the speak
er presented the following points in
a forcible manner:
The Divine side of religion is all
that God commands and requires. The
human side is all that man under
stands and can do, Our responsible
ty and accountability ends when we
have exhausted all the human means
of showing our religion. The church
is Gods agency for saving the lost.
Odd Fellowship is a human institu-
ton designed to do the practical work
of religion. 1t is not antagonistic to
hand-maiden of the church. While
the church reaches down and saves
the wretch and sinner, Odd Fellow
ship reaches up for the good men
and teaches them brotherhood and
humanity
Odd Fellowship expresses itself
and shows it's teachings in the erec-
ton of orphans and widows homes,
in the helping of brothers and in 9TH
er deeds of kindness.
The address was well received, by
lodge men and other attendants as
well. There were two conversions fol
lowing the address There were eight
conversions at the morning service
at this church. making total of ten
additions for the day

WHAT THE SCHOOLS ARE DOING
Large Enrolment, and Pupils are Be
ing Taught-at Less Expense
Teachers Have Meeting.

Teachers Have Meeting.
From Superintendent Thompson it
is learned that the schools of Ros-
well are getting along in manner
most pleasing. He gives the follow
ing facts and figures of interest:
The enrolment for the first month
in the two buildings was 8SS, or 80
more than the first month last year.
The condition of the schools since
enrolment in the different rooms is
moderate, and the arrangement is
such that none are over-crowded.
The examinations and promotions
that should have been held last year.
but were not held on account of the
ed the first of the month this year.
Thus, on the fifth week, the schools
begin the work of the year. The work
of the pupils is good, and everybody
concerned is pleased.
All nonresident pupils pay 81 per
month as tuition. This tuition was
put on by order of the board of edu-
cation.
The teachers held their first meet
ing at the High School building Sat
urday. The program consisted of a
most excellent paper by Mrs. ]. NJ.
Peacock ON Principles Of Primary
Work." and another good one by Prof
Caroon, on Teaching of Language
and Grammar" Both of these papers
were followed by discussions and the
session consumed two hours of time.
Mrs. Henry Lutz furnished delight.
full music for the occasion.
The next meeting will be held in
three weeks at the home of Prof. Pow
ell, further announcement of which
will be made later, and to which all
friends and patrons will be invited,
a departure in the manner of conduct
ing such meetings. After the next
meeting the sessions will be held at
