AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH

Rev. Bunyan Stephens preached an
other of his head and heart sermons at
the Baptist church on Sunday morn
ing. But the great love that people
have today for nature-as a result of
owning gas car-the size of the au-
dience was not what 1t should have
been. However those who did attend
were amply repaid for the sacrifice
they were supposed to have made.
The pastor chose for his theme
Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.
and the lessons drawn from IL were
humility and service; that Christian
character without service was prac-
tically impossible, and that all service
should be governed by humility and
not by ostentation, and even as II Is
impossible for the man Of science to
extend his knowledge without con-
slant application to his books and ex.
periments, or the athlete to maintain
his physical power unless he work and
exercise without ceasing. so is IL with
Christian like and activities Charity.
love and service for his fellow man
must be in constant activity or like
the unused brain Of the scientist, or
the muscles Of the athlete, they be-
come dormant and useless.

A SUMMER PARADISE

Mr.. r. r. Carroll received a letter
yesterday from his little daughter
Merris, at Stinson Lake, n. H., writ
ten on the thin, tissue-like bark of the
birch tree, which she stripped off her
self. 1t is quite cold up there; fires
are built in the house every evening.
and most Of the time in the open air
heavy clothes must be worn. There is
the finest drinking water, as cold as
ice. just as it comes from the springs.
The children have great times bath
ing in and boating on the big lake and
climbing the mountains. There is a
big camp of over forty girls at Camp
Eagle Point, in charge of their in
structors in outdoor exercises, in
Guiding hikes over the mountains and
camping out over night. They enjoy
splendid health and their rosy cheeks
would be the envy of some girls.
These girls come from all over the
country-from the south and west and
Texas, but mostly from the New Eng
land cities. The girls are taught to
row and swim and fish, ride horse
back and to play all outdoor games
and do all of the gym stunts.

The Peabody brothers have decided
not to run any more vaudeville al the

prominent church people. There is
plenty of proper amusement in good

them are rank, and when the proprie

a contract for one. he doesn't know,
any more than his patrons, IL the show

Der of the committee and Is acting as
it's secretary. The committee. under
the original intention Of the plan, then
selected two lay members. Col r S.
Hall and Mrs. Jack Camp, to meet
and advise with them.

thing of this kind in earnest it is gen.
orally a success.

BALLARD's FIRST BARREL

Lee F. Ballard, the fruit dealer and
news agent, received this morning the
first barrel of good apples of the new
crop to reach town. The apples were
sound and pretty, bright green in
color, ripe and sweet and went like
hot cakes.
