UNION OF CHRISTIANS
ALL CREEDs PUSHING ASIDE DE-
 NOMINATIONAL BARRIERS.
Cephias sheIburn of Dallas, Texas, Breaches to a Great Audience at New OrIeans-Tnscriptiom
 Written on Cr0ss.

New Orleans. Oct. 11.-At a mass meeting in the Atheneum tonight, Cephias Shelburn. of Dallas. Texas, preached to a great audience. attend ing the International Missionary Con- yention of the Churches of Christ.
 Mir. Shelburn took as his theme the fact that an inscription was written on the cross of Christ in three lam guages. and developed from this incl dent an argument showing how mod ern churches of all creeds are push Ing aside denominational barriers in favor of more intimate relations with each other.
 The tone of our preaching Is chang ing from intolerance to tolerance. " Mir. Shelburn said. 'I remember very well the time when a minister of an- other denomination was considered a fair target of any pulpit. Old issues that never were important are being dropped. and there Is an increasing sense of brotherh ood. and we are dis posed to emphasize the things in which we agree. The old segregated church Is giving away, and there is rapidly growing sentiment in favor of Christian union. Sermons are losing their fire, sharpness and bitterness.
 We hall with delight the Christian endeavor movement, and all interna-
 
 erhoods as harbinRers of this union Several millions of our young people are coming to know. respect and love each other. They sing the same hymns, join In the same prayers and listen to speakers whose denomina- tional connections they neither know nor care to ask.
 Men are crying To here and Lo there one says we must find the source of truth in the infallible church as 1t centers about Romanism: another says We must find all the truth in the in- errant book. as 1t centers about prot estantism; another still says we must accept the enlightened reason which crystalizes into rationalism--but think we must get back to Him who said. T am the way. the truth and the life"
 The night mass meeting was the principal event of today's session of the convention. w. F. Richardson. of Kansas City, addressed a large audi ence at the Atheneum this morning.

vune's weekly cotton report tomorrow will say:
 with light frosts in several sec tions and clear. cool weather. Miss issippi and Louisiana cotton planters en1oyed ideal conditions during the last week.
 Cotton picking is well advanced, and practically all the staple in two or three weeks will be gathered. Gins are by no means running regularly however, owing to the fact that there is a great disposition among farmers to hold for better prices. Most farm CTS believe that pre- gent market quo- tations are very far below what they should be in view of the undeniably short crop"

School Children in Operetta.

That the boys and girls of the Lang
don City Schools possess more than a
little musical talent and the best of en-
tertaipment qualifications was demon
strated last Friday night when they put
on the three act operetta, "The National
Flower" at the Opera House to the i'm
mense satisfaction of an audience that
taxed the seating capacity of the house
to it's fullest extent. The stage setting
of the first act when the entire cast of
upwards of seventy of the youth and
beauty of our schools were grouped in
the closing scene won several rounds of
enthusiastic applause. The training
given those taking part by Miss Eliza
beth j. Lindsay, the teacher of music
in the schools, showed that nothing had
been left undone to help make the
unique event complete success and
every detail was carried out most
prettily. A feature of the operetta was
the taste and skill shown in costuming
those taking part in the cast and the
choruses of THE National Flower" All
the tints and shades of color to be found
in a bouquet were shown in the hand
some new gowns of the girls who looked
their prettiest. Fun and merriment was
on tap from start to finish and it is hard
to state whether the "Old Maids" the
"Lawyers.' or the "Bailiff," did the most
| to make the audience laugh. The
coon song and dance between acts by
little Letetia Plummer and Wilbert
Liebeler, was accorded the highest
pitch of merriment, and as juvenile
black face artists they could hardly be
equalled anywhere. The swing song and
dancing of the old fashioned minuet by
another little couple, Vivian Morrison
and Lanzo Mcdonald, was another ex-
ceptionally good act that received lots of
we'll merited applause, The climax came
at the close of the third act. when Uncle
Sam helped the jury in deciding that the
awarding of the honor of our national
flower was after all due to that staff of
life sack of bakers -four. All went
home thoroughly pleased with the even
ing's performance
