OLD TIME RELIGION.
Subject Of Mr.. j. Il. BOen's Sermon
at the Christian Church.

'Old Time Religion" was the sub
ject of J. B. Boen's sermon Sunday
morning at the Christian church.
Pew. Boen said in part:
Some people are pessimists, con-
tinually looking on the dark side of
every question; too much sunshine
or too much rain; too hot or too cold,
tines are going to be harder than
ever before; much sickness is bound
to come; we are living too fast; only
wish times and people were like they
used to be; churches have forsaken
their old time ways and all that was
good is gone. have no patience with
these pessimistic sentiments! The
world today is better than she has
c' yer been. There are more good men
and good women, consecrated peo-
pie today than during any period OF
the worlds history. There are bet
ter homes and better churches with
more modern conveniences than
since the fall of man. l love to think
of the old Home with her sacred

Funeral Of Child.

The remains OF the baby of Rev.
and Mrs. B. A. Copass arrived in the
city Sunday night from Hollis, Okla.
The interment took place Monday
morning from the residence of J. C.
Lumpkins on Marvin avenue. Mr.. CO.
pass was formerly pastor of the Bap-
list church here. A large number of
his friends attended the funeral SER
vices.

surroundings. the paths where my
childish feet toddled, the old trees
/ used to climb, and the old spring
und sr the hill. But does the old
Home compare favorably with our
modern cottages, especially when we
look for conveniences? Yes, the old
home had its spring under the hill
and quarter from the house, many
trips were made necessary during the
day to supply the family with it's
needed water These trips, many have
made; their memories linger (not
sWeetly) with me. See that cottage,
lighted by electricity, water gushing
from the side Of the wall, in speak
ing distance with your neighbor
miles away, while the pesky insects
of day, and the nocturnal serenaders
are barred. Tell me the old compares
with this? Tell me those old drudger-
les compare favorable with our mod
ern homes; blowing with a bullion
que pillow, gathering with reap hook
and riding astride sack of grain to
mill, is preferable to our sowing,
reaping and grinding OF today? The
schools of the good old days loose
more, If possible by comparison, than
the homes. Then, yes, we had to toe
the line, but blue back spelling
book, Rays arithmetic, Buffers
grammar, one stone bruise and two
hickory switches were all that was
necessary to make full fledged
scholar. Were they better than our
modern graded schools?
My friends, these are the best
days with the best conveniences,
and you are living among the best
people in the best country the world
has ever known. But you are ready
to say everything is all right but re-
ligion. There is none of the old time
religion left. Here again you are mis-.
taken. All the true religion we have
yet. / am thankful it has changed
from those days when sound instead
OF sense; when prejudice instead of
principle and when false belief in
stead of the true bible framed the
creeds and ruled the destinies of the
people. Then there were more heat
ed debates, more religious hatred
and more heretics prosecuted and
burned at the stake, than was pleas
ant for many people.
To-day true religion, living and
doing the will of Jesus, doing for
suffering humanity. is more evident
than during any period since christi
anity was born. People today are
mentally wider, spiritually higher,
and convicted deeper than ever be-
fore. The Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of man is being exem-
plified. There are greater opportuni-
ties today than ever before. People
are more social, less selfish and are
doing more in His name than at any
previous time. With all the opportun-
tiles for doing His work presenting
| themselves to you, and then you sit
and whine because things are not as
they used to be, or because they are
not as you would like to have them,
or because they are not according to
your suiting, and you won't do any
thing, you are only showing to the
world and to God the littleness Of
your little soul"
There were six additions to the
church during the day.

A Skaters Daring.

Few feats of skating have ever ex.
celled the exploit OF one Of Napoleon's
officers performed shortly after the
fight mt Jena in 1906. The emperor dis
patched an officer to Marshal Mortier
requiring him to seize certain impOr
tant towns without delay. When the
officer arrived at the mouth of the
Elbe, where the river Is seven and one.
half miles wide, he was threatened
with serious loss of time. The river
was just covered with ice; therefore to
row over was out Of the question. lie
could not cross by the nearest bridge
without going twenty miles out Of his
way on roads heavy with snow, and
he grudged the time that would thus
be wasted. SO he resolved to skate
across the thin, freshly formed ice
Had he tried walking he would have
sunk at once. but by Swimming along
on his skates at the top Of his speed he
got over the river both dry and un-
harmed. BY this daring II dangerous
deed he saved six hours. did what Ma.
poleon babe him do and won great
credit for his bold and clever exploit.

Cosmopolitan San Antonio.

San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 2.-COsmo-
politan San Antonio appeared rather
picturesquely in the police court a
day or so ago. when a Greek, a Hun
garian, Hindoo and a Chinaman were
hailed before the bar of Justice The
polyglOt of languages got the corpo-
ration court into considerable embar-
rassment The learned prosecuting at
torney addressed the Greek in the
Homeric dialect and after philippe
la Demosthenes succeeded in con-
victing the gentleman with obstruct-
ing the sidewalk with his candy cart.
The descendant of the Huns followed
his ancestral tendencies by riding
wildly through the streets of San An
tonic, and a choice collection of Ger
man, Russian and sign language could
never make him understand why he
ought to pay So for the pleasure.

country of India that r. Kipling cele

He insisted upon standing on the

ment with John Chinaman. San An
tonic has. in addition to an Italian so
ciety. a French society, an Armenian

as some 10000 German citizens and

GIVE THE COUNTRY CHILDREN A
CHANCE

Some of our exchanges Assert that
Texas has more invested in its penal
institutions than all the country
school houses in the state are worth
THE average court house" says the
Conroe Courier, costs more money
than all the country school houses of
the county are worth. If all the chilli
dren in Texas in the scholastic age
should attened school this yeaer. it
would be impossible to care for them
in our present buildings. Many of
these buildings are uncomfortable, do
not contain suitable desks for seating
of the children and have poor equip
ment for effective instructions. Is
this a square deal educatonally for
the children of the state? Is il not
a vital denial of free school privileges
to some children? A vote for the
amenedmnt to Section 3, Article Z. is a
vote for the Improvement of educa-
tional facilitiess for the children of
Texas"

Mean-But for the Public Good.


We heard a man abusing Hearst
the other day for buying those letters
from the thief who stole them from
the head of the Standard Oil COM
pany. Yes, 1t was mean, low down
thing to do. We will admit that, but
after all it has been a benefit to the
general public. 1t shows how the
Standard Oil crowd of magnates was
trying to control the legislation and
the courts of the country just as the
people have long suspected.
Now 1t may be said as general
proposition that meanness and crime
can only be discovered through the
Fuse of mighty dirty instruments.
Real nice, honest people are not us
ually in position to know anything
about transactions of shady nature.
The business of the detective is not
Sunday school lob. In order to get
the facts znecessary to convict the
criminal the detective has to betray
confidence and do lot of things that
in themselves look mighty low down
and mean, but there is no other way
in which the crime can be unearthed.
The Standard Oil crowd is made up
and operates on the principle that
anything is fair to win, so that they
have no right to squeal. Hearst is
far from being saint. We do not
believe at the present time that he
is acting from any high and noble
motives. He is a stinker yet, in our
opinion, he has done a good deal of
good in this campaign just the same.
The stolen letters which are undoubt-
eddy the genuine thing have shown
the public more of e methods en-
ployed by the Standard Oil crowd
tnan was ever known before.
The more that is known about
Standard Oil methods the more the
people are convinced that it is i'm
possible to hit them lick amiss and
that the fine imposed by Lands ought
to have stuck, also that it would be
righteous thing if few of the
crowd could get into jail.-Topeka

loo Many Bucks.

San Antonio, Tex, Nov. Deer
flourish so in captivity in the beauti-
full Breckenridge Park in this city that
the park commissioners are now fac
ing the embarrassing situation of hav-
ing a surplus of bucks on hand, with
the result that these antlered mon
archs of the forest are beginning to
wage warfare among themselves for
the favor of the does. In order to pre-
vent them from killing each other it
becomes necessary to dispose of at
least six of the big bucks. Mayor Cal
laghan recently proposed to sell those
bucks to the local butchers, where
upon the club women of San Antonio
raised a hue and cry of cruelty TO ami
mails, demanding that they be lib
Grated. Old woodsmen claim that deer
raised in captivity will never be able
to live in the wild, but would speed
lily come back to the nearest house,
and would be an easy mark for the
boys on the ranches. Consequently
there is a lively argument going on
in San Antonio as to what to do with
the bucks. 1t is rumored that the city
of Dallas wishes to buy them and thus
settle this interesting dispute.
