MANY HOMESEEKERs ARRIVED
Four Trains Loaded with Prospec-
tive Settlers Came to Houston
Yesterday.

Four trains full of homeseekers
from various parts of the east and
north arrived in Houston yesterday
The movement, while not as good as
that of a month ago, is neverthe-
less considered a good run OF
homeseekers. Many of them left the
city last night to scatter out over
the surrounding territory tributary
to Houston to search for locations.
Brownsville and Victoria took the
majority of the crowd. Eighteen
cars full of the fasteners went to
brownsville last night and train
| full to Victoria.
On account of the fact that the
farms of the east and north viii re-

there are always more homeseekers

mer.

ANSWER TO QUESTION
On the Sunday School Lesson for
Feb. IL, 1912. by Rev. DIR.
Linscott.
LESSON, LUKE 2:4o-52.

QUESTION 6. Verses 41-42.
What per cent of children who are
religiously trained by mother
both wise and good will develop In
to strong religious characters?
ANSWER. Jesus not only had
the advantage of a wise and good
ancestry. but also of very devoted
parents, who dedicated him to God
even before he was born, and who
from the beginning. both by precept
and example, trained him in a religi-
Gus life. without taking into con-
sideration Christ's divine nature,
and thinking of him wholly as a
man, we may safely say that Jesus
owes much to his religious training
for his after wonderful career.
This is the story which suggests the
question that l am asked to answer,
Taking the evident meaning of the
question. ! am bound to give an I'M
qualified answer that all children
may be trained so they will develop
strong religious characters. Their
training ought to commence long be-
fore they are born. We read OF
some men who were filled with the
Holy Spirit from their youth; mer
who we're born with a religious dis
position or cast of mind. This DIS
position was parental, and wher
supplemented with good example
and wise training, there is no posi-
2. -,
bility for such children to be othel
than religious. Religion, undel
normal conditions, is just as natura
90 a human being as breathing, an(

ROBBERS BLOW A SAFE
ESCAPE ON HAND CAR
Safe in the Postoffice at AIsdorf Is
Wrecked and About $3.50 in
Money Is Secured.

The little town of AIsdorf on the
Texas Midland, in the eastern part
of Ellis county, was visited by
cracksmen Friday night who blew
the safe in the postoffice and eseap-
ed with about $3.50 in cash, about
$50 in stamps and few money or
ders
The explosion occurred between
70 and / O'Clock and after rifling
the safe of its contents the robbers
escaped on a Texas Midland hand
car. It is not known in which d.
rection they went, but the supposl-
ton is that they headed north to-
ward Trinity river. A search has
been made for the car but it has
lot been found.
1t is generally believed the rob-
berry was committed by three men
who made their escape from jail at
Dallas some time Friday. Three men
answering the description of the
Jail breakers were seen in Alsdori
about 9 O'Clock Friday night.
A report of the robbery was made
to the sheriff's department early
Saturday morning and a description
given of each of the three men seer
( hanging around there that night.

when this disposition is properly
developed, it results in a strong
Christian character. If parents
would begin early enough to train
their children, they would all be-
come Christians. A mother whose
thoughts are of God, and who
spends much time in thinking of
spiritual things, and dedicates her
child to God before birth, and who
from the beginning teaches him
about Jesus, may surely depend that
that child will live to some purpose,
and be an honor and credit to his
parents, to the community, and to
the cause OF God.
