If this world were composed of
small grains of sand, and little bird
were to fly from the moon and take
one little grain and fly back again,
and remain ten thousand years, and
then return and carry away another
grain, and so on, at intervals of ten
thousand years, it would have time to
carry away this whole earth, while
eternity lasts. Where will you spend
that long future life? Will it be with
the redeemed, those who have obeyed
God, and have not been ashamed of
the Gospel, or will it be with the lost
company of people, the drunkard, the
the gambler, the swearer, the MUIR
derer, the thief, and all those who
refuse to accept Christ, and be saved.
The meetings at the M. E. church
are growing in interest and number.

and the very finest that could pos
sibly be secured. ga Cowboys Grip
is not society drama, whose scenes
are laid in the handsome drawing
room of some millionaire's palace, but
story of the clone Star State'', with
it's scenes laid under the bright canopy
of heaven which stretches away in
the distance as far as the eye can see
and than rolls on unbroken to the ut
most ends of the world. 1t is under
this blue vaulted dome on the wild
prairie that they raise such men as
ga Cowboys Grip tells about, men
whose daring deeds and bravery in
the face of almost certain death have
caused the whole world to revere
their name and memory. We have
only to turn to the pages of history,
there to see enrolled with the heroes,
now past and gone. the names of
TT Il, 11c4
who perished in The Alamo. 1t is of
such men as these that ga Cowboys

but bearing the same stamp of
chiyalry and heroism that their an
cestors bore when they first crossed
the plains to wrestle from the Mexi-
can and Indian, what is now the
