They are always doing things At
the Baptist church and when You wor
ship there on Sunday incoming you
are not certain whether YOU are going
to witness a full dress wedding or
have to vote on a proposition to pur-
chase a four thousand dollar lot, to
replace a three thousand dollar one
they have just given away; or prob
ably you may be present when pas
tor resigns. or the deacons refuse to
recommend a successor who (other-
wise competent) does not part his
hair in the middle. Yesterday they
held an election to add five new
deacons to the seven or eight now
constituting the church board.
Before the election Pastor Chapman
gave an earnest and profound ad-
dress on the qualifications and char
acter of men who only are eligible for
that office, founding his remarks on
PauPs first letter to TimJtn chap
ter 3, where he declares that candi-

wife and be able to rule his own
household. not given drinking. or
brawling or be double tongued, but
patient, vigiIant, hospitable and have
his own children under perfect con-
troll, etc. The exposition that the
minister gave of these topics would
seem to apply not only to the quail
| fcations of church deacons, but to
every one who processes to live a
Christian life. He was very emphatic
as to the need of home control with
the children and said the want of that
control was one of the greatest curses
of the present day and that children
who were not controlled by their par
ents at home were beyond the reach
of either teachers or pastor. school
or church
| After the sermon the election was
proceeded with and like the primary.
The voting was done by secret ballot
without the formality of a nomination
| However, there were several I'M
provements on the way the primary
| is conducted, for instance the suffra-
gettes had no cause for window
smashing as they were all allowed to
vote. Neither were they compelled to
get into a stuffy box alone to write
their ballots, but kept their seats and
when they had filled out their own
sheet, they kindly turned to their
neighbor and helped him or her to do
the thing Up right, and when the bal
lots were all in a committee of eight
four deacons and four laymen, took
them into another room and made the
count, and when finally they had COM
pleted their labors, they announced
that the following brethren having
the highest number Of votes were
duly elected: Mr. Frank Gates, Mr.
Walter Marsh, Mr.. A. w Wing, Mr.
Samuel Christian and Mr.. w. T. Gary
Next Sunday the ceremony will be
completed by the laying on of hands,
a beautiful and interesting ceremony
which everyone should witness.
At the evening service Mr.. Earl
Sheridan, one of the Stetson theolog-
zeal students. occupied the pulpit and
delivered a most excellent discourse
| which was highly appreciated by the
| large congregation present.
