THE SOUTHERN METHODIST
Intere sting And Impressive Services Held
Yesterday


The services at the Southern Meth
odist Church, 207 West street, were
indoors yesterday, the pastor, Rev.
James Fl. Billgsley, preaching to an
excellent congregation on the text,
BE not faithless but believing"
The topic, taken from the incident
of the failure of the disciples, although
they had the power, had the exercise
of faith, to cure the dumb boy pos
sessed with devils, the preacher said
thst it was the want of faith in be-
levers today that hindered the more
rapid progress of Christianity than it
is making. If this congregation is to
have a church building of its own, it
must have faith in the project. and
believe that it will be done.
The preacher said it is not the high
er criticisms, nor all the difficulties
in the way of the spread of the gos-
pei that retard its progress, but the
absence of faith in the hearts of
Christians. A spirited song service
preceded the regular evening services.
The Sunday-school is now preparing
for an exhibition, and the ladies of
the church will give an Auction
Supper on Tuesday, September 20.

One of the largest openings of
any business house in town was that
Saturday night at the big stores of
Isaac Benesch & Sons, I23-127 Main

and up-to-date of the local business
houses.

the distribution of the stamp books in
the front of the store. The firm of
Isaac Benesch & Sons gave away
1,1S0 stamp books Saturday night,
each book containing thirty-three
stamps.
The store was handsomely deco
rated, and the various wares displayed
in each department. The autumn
colors-yellow, red and purple, We're
used effectively, and the chrysanthe-
mum was the favorite flower in the
decorations. All the electric lights
were shaded with chrysanthemums in
red. yellow and purple petaled chrys-
anthemums. The effect was highly
pleasing.
Autumn leaves, corn shucks and
blades. and fruits and flowers, sugges-
tive of autumn, were used in the dec
rations. On all floors the special line
of goods was shown. In the carpet
department beautiful new rugs, car
pets and druggets were displayed.

The crowd was a record breaker.
Beautiful souvenir spoons were given
to every man, woman and child at the
opening and over 1000 were distribu-
ted. Benesch & Sons mean business,
and they intend to pursue their course
along the way of progress and enter
prise, and to keep the trade at home
and please the people. This firm
offers every advantage and induce
ment that can be found anywhere, and
1t deserves proper encouragement and
liberal patronage of the home trade.

ONE ON THE LAWYER
DOCTOR GOT THE BEST OF THE

Made Judge and Jury sit Up and
Take Notice But Refused to
Testify as an Expert
Witness.

AS the result Of hostile demonstra.
tons OF the leading citizens of the
burg had been taken before the village
justice on a charge Of assault and bat

was acting in a perfunctory way.
secretly hoping for an acquittai. be-
cause he did not wish TO arouse the
political antagonism of the leading
citizen. However, one Of the witnesses
was the village physician, whom the
prosecutor loved not and sought to
humillate.
you are prejudiced in favor Of the
defendant. are you not. doctor?"

you are his family physician, are
you not? And you are afraid you will

mo, | have not; but. since you men
ton my professional relations with
him, l think the Jury should be in
formed that he is suffering from phala-
crosis."
From what?"
"Phalacrosis," repeated the doctor.
Whereupon everybody sat up and
took notice; the attorneys put on a
digni1ed studious air; the honorable
court pricked up his ears; one and all
conferred their gaze upon the defend
ant, who acquired that reddish tint
which proclaimed that at last he had
been discovered.
What is this phalacrosis? I" asked
the prosecutor.
1T is a sort Of chronic disease of an
infiammatory nature which affects GER

will have to call In an expert to an
swer your question"
And there the matter rested. The
prosecutor told the justice and jury
the Ease was not Of sufficient impor-
lance to warrant the calling of ex-
pensive experts and that they would
have to ignore the doctors testimony
as unsupported and unworthy of Gre
dence. But the Jury promptly acquit-
ted the leading citizen, because" as
the foreman explained, Doc said there
was something the matter with his
head: '~phalacrosis' he called It."
When the prosecutor got back to his
Office he sought enlightenment, and in
his dictionary found the following:
"Phalacrosis-bald h~eadedness."
The doctor also explained, out of
court. and the relations between the
medical and legal profession in that
village are still strained.-The Sun
