Del Rio, Tex, Oct. 1.-The long look

terminals and depot grounds in Del Rio
has been made, after a conference be-

local rightofway committee Investors
and prospectSrs have been awaiting
this decision. The location Of this line

The line will cross the G. H east Of

extended curve. crossing the creek be-

the main business street in the neigh

The passenger station will probably
be located on Perry street, near Duke

same ne1ghborhOod. This will place
the Orient station about IL blocks from
the G. II. Depot, with the established
business portion of the city lying Boz

selected, either from the standpoint
or the town or the railroad con pany.

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR
BY DR.. MADISON c. Pc,

All labor, whether of head or hand,
that supplies mans wants, increases his
happiness and elevates his nature, is
honora Die. The world does not owe
us a living but every man owes the
world work.
Labor allied to virtue may look up
into the face of heaven and not blush,
while all worldly dignities prostituted
to vice, will leave their owner without
a nook in the universe in which to hide
his shame.
Fortune smiles on those who roll up
their sleeves, put their shoulders to
the wheel and push.
You cannot dream yourself into a
character, you must hammer and forge
yourself one. To love and to labor is
the sun of living. and yet many think
they live who neither love nor labor
The very preservative principle of
the universe is honest labor 1t turns
deadly boys and miasmic swamps into
fertile fields waving with the golden
grain; 1t whitens the seas with wings
OF commerce and sits crowned as king
IN thousand cities and sends up its
roars of triumph in million wheels
1t banishes barbarism and. plants civ
ilization upon its ruins: it weaves
mighty works OF genius in poetry and
prose, which gladden. the hearts of
men.
To do in the best manner the work
which is given one in his place to do is
worthy ambition-the fulfilling of the
divine law-which has been defined as
both good democracy and good chris
tianity. And yet how many Americans
look upon labor as a bondage to be
escaped, as a task to be endured and
as marking an inferior caste Nobody
cares TO have trade-every one wants
a profession. High sounding titles are
given to familiar employments The

Society will never for the sake of

steadfast choice of the best things you
may clothe your work day life with a
glory such as is seldom seen in pal
aces.
To win riches by starving the mind,
buying money by truth and conscience
having no share in the intellectual
progress of the world, is buying gold
at the price of manhood.

her fathers home to the house of Dr..

known in 1914 The name was public
ly used for the first time ten years
later when William Britten published
the Moderate Baptist. Its first official
recognition by the church occurred
some years later when 1T appeared in
the title of THE Baptist Catechism"
The Baptists refuse to acknowledge
any great theological reformer as the
founder of their denomination They
claim to trace their origin to the prim.
itive church, and believe that they find
in the Acts Of the Apostles and their
epistles incontestable evidence that
their leading tenets had the sanction OF
tenance of the scriptura1 practices
among the Albigensis and the Cathart
and other sects during the Dark Ages,
as corroborative evidence of the histor-
ic foundation Of their doctrines.
Greatest Baptist Preacher.
Perhaps the greatest preacher the
Baptist church ever had was Sturgeon,
the eminent English divine After he
took charge Of his tabernacle his con-
gregatiOn grew to number 5000. He
later founded the Pastors college and
the Stockweu Orphanage, and made
his name known wherever the voice of
Professionalism was heard. His congre-
cations were reputed to be the largest
in the world. There have been many
famous men who were Baptfsts. Gov
ernor Hughes, the prospective chief
justice of the United States. holds 10
that faith, as does John D. Rockefeller,
whose gifts to the church and It's
schools have been among the most mu-
nificent endowments in the history of
Christianity.
A few months ago a Baptist publica-
ton announced that William Moran of
the Bethlehem Baptist church, Phila-
delphia, would, il he lived to October
1 and continued in good health to
that time. win a record Of 81 years OF
attendance upon Sunday school with
out missing a single Sunday. This
was thought to be the record for reg
ular attendance in church worship
But the publication OF that story led
to the announcement that Linus Birds
~ OF Meridian. Connecticut, had q much
more extended record than this. For
fifty years he attended three services
a Sunday without missing single ser
vice, except one Sunday when he was
on his wedding trip. He has kept a
record of every sermon he has heard in
fifty-five years.
