Our Church at Marlin.

After much preliminary WORK and
discussion running through two or
three years, our people at Marlin have
finally determined to build a hand.
some church edifice, and do il at once.
Heretofore the matter of location has
been an unsettled question with them:
but they have permanently agreed up.
on this, having purchased a beautiful
and prominent lot on Coleman Street.
with frontage of 1t6 feet, extending
back 20S feet. It is central and has
a south front. Plans are now under
special work, and they will soon be
perfected, and then bids for the build
ing will be submitted. Rev. /. F. Belts.
the pastor, is greatly encouraged and
feels sure that the enterprise will go
right through to completion. His peo-
pie have advanced his salary three
hundred dollars over previous years.
now fixing it at $500. We congratu-
late the pastor and his people on their
purpose to go forward in that impor-
tant community, and Marlin will take
her place as one of the best Churches
in the Texas Conference.-Marlin Dem.

ANNOUNCEMENT COLUMN.
BRYAN, TEXAS, FEBRUARY 9, 1903
ALEssoN FROM THE TRUSTS.

The trusts are responsible for much
evil but, whether they intended it or
not, they have done great good in DEM
,onstrating to the world the power of
cooperation on a large scale. They
have shown how by means of organi-
cation waste can be eliminated and
the highest degree of effectiveness de-
veloped. Scientists have taken the hint
and by means of better equipment and
a division of labor, secured through
cooperation, have in the last ten years
made more discoveries than had been
accomplished in all the preceding cen
turtles. The churches and other relig-
ious and moral institutions have
ceased to fight each other and are now
making common cause for the uplift-
ing of humanity over all the earth.
And, most important of all, statesmen
have learned the folly of wars, by
which even the victor is a loser, and
are laboring to perfect a system of in
ternational cooperation which has al
ready progressed so far that no nation
goes to war without the consent of
others.
The trusts have demonstrated that
great things can be accomplished by
cooperation and in no other way. The
town where the people are organized
and all WORKING together for the COM
mon good never fails to prosper,
whereas the reverse is true of the
place where faction is rife. If the,
people of this city want a greater andt
a better and a mere beautiful Bryan
they must get together and work sys-t
tematically. He who allows petty
prejudice or spite or any private
crouch to stand in the way of any
effort or enterprise for the common
good is public enemy.

SUNDAY Al BAPTIST CHURCH
Greatest Day in Church's History.
Entire Debt Wiped Out and Build
ing Dedicated TO God.
GREAT SERMONS BY DR.. TRUE1T

Sunday was truly an epoch making
day in the history of the First Baptist
church OF Bryan. 1t was the greatest
day in its history. 1t was a day of
great things, day Of great Sacrifices
and withal day of rejoicing.
Since the new church was erected
the congregation has labored under
a burden of debt, and soon after the
new pastor, Dr.. Weaver, came, it was
resolved by him and the leaders OF his
congregation, that this debt should
be lifted from the church, and the ed
ifce dedicated to God. So that with
all obstacles removed, the church
might go forth upon its great mission
unhindered and untrammeled.
With this end in view strong f.
nance committee was appointed, and
they began the stupenduous task OF

the service and hear DR.. Truett
When the hour for the service ar
rived a great audience filled every
seat in the building. and many stood
in the doorways and around the walls,
ad some were turned away for lack
even of standing room. Seated on the
rosuum We're the following ministers:
DR.. Me. Weaver, pastor; DR.. Geo w
Traett. of Dallas; DR.. T. II. Morris,
castor of the Methodist church; Rev.
DR.. F. P. F. Duffy. rector at ST Andrews
Episcopal church; Rev. j. A. Chal
lenner, pastor of the Christian church; ;
Rev. S. W. Kendrick, State evange-
list; and Rev. A. B. Wait, associational
missionary.
The music for the occasion was I'M
der the direction of Mrs. H. o. Boat
wright, and was a magnificent pro-
gram, faultlessly rendered.
Or, T. II. Morris invoked the divine
blessing. thanking God for the great
gift Of His son, for His precious prom.
Uses and for the church. He asked a
blessing upon the speaker, and
that he may speak with a tongue of
flame and that the people may hear
as for eternity.
DR.. Truett read for the scripture
lesson the 9Th cha pier of Luke, and
his brief comments as he read were
gems of great beauty and prepared the
congregation for the masterful SER
mon that was to follow. Bfeore an
nouncing the text, he took occasion
TO express his JOY in being present
to worship with the church and re-
ferred to the meeting he assisted in
holding here several years ago.
His theme was SELF Sacrifice" and
the text was from the 10th verse Of
the 18th chapter of 2nd Chronicles
And Amasiah willingly offered him
self unto the Lord IN discussing
this great subject, he laid dowl
the great basic principles that all sac
ritces must be made willingly. and
that Gods business must be the chief
aim and purpose Of redeemed men and
women. Around these two granite
pillars he builded a message that
breathed the inspiration of Heaven
itself, and was beyond question one
OF the grandest flights of pulpit elo-
quence ever heard in Bryan.
At the close of the sermon a col.
lection was taken TO pay off the re-
of the church debt and all
but s2,25O subscribed. The earnest
men and women of the 1urca were
not willing to give it up aad o.other
meeting was called for 1 0 clock in the

Don't Blame the LEGISLATURE.

Those legislators who are crying "A
subsidized press" and making bold the
assertions that the country papers are
under the thumbs or corporations and
illegitimate business enterprises. are
surely suffering from diseased minds

governor has not denied saying it, it
is fair to hold him responsible. II
was an insult to every country paper
in the state and some of these which
have been strong supporters of the

serves.

Maxim said. 'is precisely that which pre-
vents water running out of set bowl

bowl after the water has been made to
whirl or revove in the vessel The ex-
ploded gases after being made to whirl
around in the silencer cannot escape sud-

siencer is a negative turbine"
And such 1t really is.
Every sportsman will be quick to real
ze that a noiseless, or virtually a noise
less. rifle will add materially to the de-
lights of hunting. But Mr. Maxim has
made it clear that such. weapon would
not help the pot hunter as much as mas
been claimed. The noise of the whirrinS
bullet through. the air will of itself star
tie herd into flight, although the herd
is quite as likely to run toward the gun
as away from it. The inability to locate
the source OF the slight sound made by
a gun with silencer attached could have
been far better demonstrated in the open
air than in close chamber. Even there
the only noise noticeable was that of the
bullet fiattening out or burying itself in
the sand box.
The sound of a thousand or ten thou
sand of these rifles being fired at once
would be so slight, however, as to make
1t possible for all orders to be heard by
"A regiment when given by its officers in

the silencer will prove a boon in more
ways than one. With the silencer in use
the orders can be given and heard just
as readily in the heat of battle as when
at drill.
The question has been raised by many
persons. among them the police chiefs OF
the largest cities in the country, that
Mr. Maxim's latest invention will prove
a serious drawback in detecting crime, in
reality placing the detectors of crime at
