l will say in reply to Rambler that l
don't think anyone has lost any relig-
ion over the box suppers at Mr..
Crisp's. There were well behaved
crowds at both suppers and everything
went off nicely. The box suppers were
had for the purpose Of repairing the
Oak Grove church house. | think, Mr.
Rambler, that you are sadly mis-
| taken about the crowd splitting and
| going to Mr. Harris to the dance. If
anyone went from the supper to the
| dance it is more than we know. One
or two of the boys left but whether
they went to the dance or not we
don't know. | think that if you
haven't religion enough to take you
through a box supper, that you haven
enough to take you to heaven. don
know that you profess to be chris
tian. If you do, think that you are
out of your place when you are writ
ing something that you know nothing
about, or something that doesn't con
Germ you. | guess religion is just a.
strong in our community now as il
ever was, so don t let the box supper'
bother you any more. Mr.. and Mrs
Crisp are nice people and don't have
anything but nice behavior abou
them. hope, Mr.. Rambler, tina
you won't get offended at anything
have said. Mountain Hoosier.

Musical Criticism.

Andrew Carnegie tells of an old
Scotch lady who had no great liking
for modern church music. One day
she was expressing her dislike of the
singing of an anthem in her own
church, when friend said:
"Why, that anthem is very ancient
one. Davi sang it to Saul.
"Weel, weelr' said the old woman.
II moo for the first time understand
why Saul threw his iavelin at David
when the la sang for him. "--Lippin-
