Great Day at Sacramento School.
Communicated

(Communicated.1
The Sacramento grammar school in
the second ward was the scene of quite
an interesting and long-to- be-remem.
bered event on Monday, March 30,
when the Roosevelt party, including
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Miss Ethel
Carow Roosevelt, Masters Archie and
Quentin Roosevelt, the two youngest
sons of the chief executive of this
grand old country, piloted by that
chivalrous and patriotic son OF the
southland, Col R. NJ. Mccall, fled
into the hall, followed by other mem
bers of the Roosevelt party, among
whom were Fitzhugh Lee, Jr., son OF
that grand old soldier and patriot,
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, of whom every
southern boy and girl is truly proud.
After an inspection of the class rooms
and the work of the students, Miss
Roosevelt requested the children to
sing. The pupils were then assembled
in the chapel, where they sang many
of the nationai songs of our country,
closing with "Dixie," which was re-
quested by the Roosevelt boys. This
immortal air met with a storm of APP
plause from the visitors, who mum.
bered fourteen in all, including sew
eral who were not of the Roosevelt
party, but who we're entertaining the
distinguished tourists for the day.
Miss Roosevelt asked that the chill
dren be given holiday, which re-
quest was readily granted by Misses
Thomson and 0ubre, who are in
charge of the school.
Mr.. Mccall in a short talk to the
children, after Introducing the party,
said that the Sacramento school " as
the first school in the state of Louisi-
ana to be honored with visit from
the presidents daughter, who rightly
heads the list as the first young lady
Of the land, position she holds with
ali the grace of true American wo-
man.
When the party were about to drive
away, the pupils formed themselves
on the campus, and, much to the de-
light of all and amid shouts of APP
plause and the waving of handker-
chiefs, sang that pretty and bright
little boat song, "Good Bye, My
Lover. Good Bye" Though unused
to entertaining such a great company,
the children not only did justice to
themselves and the educational sys-
TEN of Louisiana, but they represented
the school children of dear old Louisi-
ana in way that reflects credit and
honor on the coming men and women
of the grand old south.

the light of divine love.
Resolved further, That copy of
these resolutions be published in the
Baptist Chronicle and The Donaldson
vile Chief, and that copy be placed
upon the church record.

never read for themselves the thrilling
story OF the ''meek and loWly Naz-
arene.
To any intelligent student of history
it seems plain enough that there is not
a nation under the sun once having
been held in the clutches Of Catholicism
but what has to an extent been left with
the stain of ignorance and superstition.
The Reverend Priest Gonon | per-
sonally know. An honest, conscien-
5ious man l believe him to be. Upon
his private character no stain would
leave; but in regard to your pubic
career, Mfr. Gonon, | would suggest
that you bend your every energy to
the divine mission of directing hui
mainly to loving Creator; of point
ing sinners to the Lamb of God that
taketh away the sins of the world. .
But on the other hand, do not en-
deavor to overthrow the sacred work
planted by Professionalism,
