A Surprise

The friends and neighbors of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. Sutcliffe met at
their rural home two and one-half
miles southeast of Laclede on
Thanksgiving day. The company
was supplied with plenty oc good
cheer and well-flled baskets. It
was typical Thanksgiving dinner
with turkey and pumpkin pie and
everything else in abundance. Mr..
and Mrs. Sutcliffe and little son,
Seymour, contemplate leaving their
present home soon and removing
to Mendon, where they will reside.
Their many friends wished in some
way to show their appreciation
of these splendid people who have
been among them for the past few
years, and took this method of do
ing it. Those present were W. L.
Sensintaffar and family, Frank
Baird and family, Sensintaffar

M. E. Church Notes

Owing TO tne rainy WeaCner laS'
Sunday morning the attendance at
the services was small, but the in
terest by those present was excel.
lent. There was fairly good audi.
ence at the evening service.
The bible class met in the home
of Mrs. Foreman Wednesday even
ing. There were eighteen present.
The class will meet with Mrs. W.
Fl. Woods next week. They are
now studying the history of the
apostolic church.
The official board met in regular
session at the church last Monday
evening and attended to the usual
monthly business. The committee
on music and program for Christ
mas also met. They selected and
ordered programs and will begin
rehearsing at once.
Absent but not forgotten" is
an old but true adage. In evidence
Of this we wish to say that Mrs.
Mary j. Williams, one of our men,
bers but now a resident of Marion
vile, Mo-, remembered us in a sub
stantial way by sending her dues
as she could not be here in person.
The all day meeting of the
Ladies Aid society which met at
the home of Mrs. W. Ell. Woods
last Tuesday was so interesting
that some of the ladies returned
for an evening session. The work
was that of sewing carpet rags.
The attendance was good and sew
eral pounds Of sewed rags was the
result of the days labor. .. ...
There was a splendid gathering
of ladies at the Foreign Missionary
society which met in the home of
Mrs. Eccles last Wednesday after
noon. The lesson was an interest
ing one and gave evidence of home
study. A very interesting feature
of the meeting, was the splendid
refreshments served by the hostess
before the hour of departure.
The Bible study class was reor-
ganized Wednesday evening at the
home of Mrs. Foreman. The study
of the Apostle church will be con-
tinued during the year, a few weeks
being spent in review work. The
first lesson will be devoted to pre-
paratory work, the following pa
pers to be read: Religious Status
Of the Jews, Mrs. James Lomax;
Status Of Romans, Mrs.
Benson; Religious Status of the
Mrs. Bigger; Political Sit
aation, Rev. Powell; The Day of
Pentecost, Miss Ransom. Meeting
to be at the home of Mrs. William
Woods Wednesday, December 9. at
7:15. A cordial invitation is ex-
ended to any desiring to join the
lass.

Some Evening Reyeries.

casting aside Of plans that led to
very remarkable discoveries and in
ventions. When Columbus laid a
plan to discover the new world, he
could not get hearing till he ap-
piled to a woman for help. Wo-
man equips man for the voyage of
life. She is seldom leader in any
project, but meets her peculiar and
best attitudes as a helper. Though
man executes a project, she fits him
for it, beginning in his childhood.
A man discovered America, but
woman equipped the voyage; so
everywhere, man executes the per-
formance, but women trains the
man.
A hovel is often more a home
than a palace. If the spirit of con-
genial friendship links not the
hearts of the inmates of dwelling
it is not a home. If love reigns not
there; if charity spreads not her
downy mantle over all; if peace pre-
walls not; if virtue rear not her
beautiful children, and religion
comes not in her white robe of
gentleness to lay her hand in bene-
diction on every head, the home is
not complete.
More and more as we grow we
appreciate the finer traits that are
in human nature. Men going out
into life never forget the mother
who stays at home, and who has
presented to them nature with a
reason dominant with a high moral
sense, with refined and sweet af-
fections, with taste, with patience,
with gentleness, with self-sacrifce,
and with disinterestedness. A man
may 60 through all the world, he
may run through every stage of be-
lief and disbelief, but there will be
one picture chat he cannot efface.
Living or dying, there will rise up
before him like a morning star the
beauty of that remembered good
ness which he called mother"
Now, suppose Christ should come
into your house. First the wife
and the mother would feel His pres
ence. Religion almost always be-
gins there. 1t is easier for women
to become christians than for men.
They do not fight so against God.
If women tempted man ori ginally |
away from holiness she now tempts
him back, She may not make any
fuss about it, but somehow every
body in the house knows that there
IS a change in the wife and mother.
She chides the children more gent
y. Her face lights up sometimes
With an unearthly glow. She goes
nto some unoccupied room for a
title while, and the husband goes
lot after her nor asks her why she
vas there. He knows without ask
ng that she has been praying. The ,
notices that her face is =
brighter than on the days when
ears ago, they stood at the marri-
ge altar, and he knows that Jesus
as been putting upon her brow a
7reath sweeter than the orange
lessons. She puts the children
D bed, not satisfied with the formal I
rayer that they once offered, but
be fingers now and tells them of o
esus who blessed little children p
nd of the good place they all hope t.
, be at last. And then she kisses \
lem good night with something n
lat the child feels to be a heaven s.
benediction-a something that
lall hold on to the boy after he {,
as become a man 40 or so years of a
70 for thern iS conootbino, in n L
