PLANS RECEPTION SERIES
Rev. Robert J. Burdette Will Give His
Congregation Chance to Get
Acquainted

DR.. Robert j. Burdette evidently in
tends to use the Temple Baptist
church's new quarters in the Audito-
rum as we'll and as often as possible,
and with this purpose in view next
Monday night he will introduce the first
of series of pastors receptions" in
Berean hall
Assisted by Mrs. Burdette, the popu-
lar preacher will hold an informal re-
ception the last Monday Of every month
at which the members of his church, as
we'll as the congregation, will have an
opportunity to know him better.
When DR. Burdette first spoke of the
scheme several months ago he told the
masculine portion of his flock that he
would hold receptions Monday night so
that they could use their stiff" shirts
which they had worn to church the day
before, as these garments would not yet
be soiled enough to be sent to the laun-
dry.
DR.. Burdette's mansion at Pasadena,
"Sunnyside," Is so far from his people
that they have found 1t difficult to meet
him socially. but 1t is believed that the
monthly Monday receptions win remedy
this state OF affairs.

doubtedly have been a most serious
wreck.
The children were strolling dow the
railway tracks, playing by the way,
when they saw the rock, which had
been loosened by the recent wet wealth
er, on the track. Unconscious of its
weight, they tried to roll Ii off, but hnd-
ing that their efforts were useless they
hurried down the track to warn the
engineer on the passenger, which they
knew was due TO arrive in Lead soon.
When the children sighted the train
and succeeded in making the engineer
understand that there was trouble
ahead, and had brought the ponderous
locomotive TO a stop, they were all but
ready to faint from their eXertion.
Several men were required for some
little time TO remove the obstruction
from the track, and but for the timely
warning of the children a serious wreck
would undoubtedly have resulted. as
the rock fell on q curve and could not
