FIFTH SUNDAY MEETING
Met With First Baptist Church,
Lecture Delivered BY Harry R.
Todd. a Former Jeifersonian.

Enon Baptist Association held
her 9Th Sunday meeting with
the LIST Baptist church at Jeffcr-
son, beginning Friday, 9th ult.
and ending Sunday night. The
next meeting will be held with
Kildare church in December.
Elder G.. X. Williams was the
Moderator and the programe
here was an interesting one.
There were several very able
addresses, one on Friday night
by Rev. J. NJ. Mizzell, of Atlanta
church on the Subject of Hurt
full Amusements, was great
sermon and delivered in spirit
entirely inoffensive to Christian
or sinner and in a most convinc-
ing way.
DR.. Perryman of Texarkana,
Ark, delivered a most Biblical
sermon on Acts Is, on Saturday
night. The mission subject be-
ing the great central truth. Dr..
Perryman is a Kentuckian and
has labored with DR.. Kerfoot,
Lansing, Burrows and others in
the great Baptist enterprises.
1t is hoped he can be permanent
ly located in our great Texas
work.
But by far the most interest
ing and able address was deliv-
cred Sunday night before
packed church by layman, who
was born in Jefferson and Of
whom we cannot help feeling
proud, Mr.. Harry r. Todd, young
est brother of our townsman,
Capt. Geo. Il. Todd, who resides
at Birmingham, Ala, and is
General Traffic Manager for the
g. b. & q. Ry. system, delivered
in the most charming manner a
very great address or lecture on
the subject Of Bible Study"
The great audience were com
pletely swept away by his elo-
quence and wonderful power.
He has been connected with the
recent New Religion Forward
movement. His text was taken
from ST. Paul's Lesson TO limo
thy. Study to show myself not
ashamed of God, a workman
rightly divining the word Of
truth. F" He made seven divis
ions illustrating each in most
powerful way, from the Bible
itself.
/. The historical truth of the
Bible.
,. The practical and common
sense truth.
3. The intellectual and moral
truth.
4. The spiritual truth, without
which THE Book" cannot be
analysed, or even understood by
the human mind.
5. The typical truth.
Is. The Dispensational truth,
and lastly, prophetic truth
He has partly promised to de-
liver this great lecture again at
TeXarkana, where another of
his brothers, Hon. Chas. S. TODD,
lives.

of interest to readers of the

that a new and very valuable ac-

faculty, in the person of Miss
Lucille Singleton, who will have
charge of the music class. A
piona selection, and song rend-
cred by this young lady were
saliant proofs of her fitness for
the position, as it is impossible
to conceive of any one who has
learned so well as she being un-
able to impart that knowledge
to those under her care"

bies!" l gasped.
He nodded. Genuine pigeon bloods,
my son, no less"
"Oh, come now, Billings" l protest
ed. felt little miffed, just little
you know. So jolly raw to try it on
that way.
by Joye, old chap, you must think
me common ass" l suggested dis
gustedly.
Billings grinned at the very idea.
You common ass, Dicky?" he
calculated. Nobody who knows you
would ever think that, old man"
''But, say"
See here, Dicky boy, I'm in dead
earnest" he interrupted eagerly.
Don't you remember my one fad
gems? Got enough tied up in them
to build two apartment houses as big
as this. Best amateur collection in
New York, If do say 1t. But haven't
anything like one of these rubies, and
neither has any one else-no one else
in this country, anyhow. There's
nothing like them in all New York,
from Tiffany's down to Maiden Lane,
and never has been. l never saw any
thing like-near like any of them
except the one in the Russian crown
of Anna Ivanovana. That's bigger,
but 1t hasn't the same fire"

CANADA'S PROSPERITY.

The New York Times OF March 90,
1912, in an article dealing with Cana.
da's progress, says:
AT the present moment eight ship
loads Of European immigrants are
afloat for Canada, while there are
signs that the outward movement
which is customary with us during
labor troubles will be marked this
year. There is no such startling rec
ord of our loss to Canada Our citi-
zens quietly slip over the border in
groups or trainloads, but their going
is not advertised.
There is no mystery why Canada
is the good thing the United States
used to be. 1t is because Canada is
following in its neighbors footsteps
that 1t is repeating the fortunate ex-
perience which its neighbor is envy
ing, even while deliberately turning
its back on the teachings of the past.
A fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus Of $39000,000, and on Thurs
day the Government passed through
NAAN VII buppiy SiCdlIS Va
$3S,0O0,000 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and COM
PEELED to increase their facilities. Ac-
cordingly we find a single road allot.
ting ten millions for work of its own.
Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work. This influx is apart from those
Americans who go with money in their
pockets obtained by cashing in their
high-priced American lands.
"a ST. Paul dispatch says that with
In fortnight two thousand carloads
of farm animals and machinery have
passed toward Canada, the property
of men who expect to pay for their
farms with the first crop"

as to these Jewels, you can just bet

Here he got to looking at one of
the buttons and murmuring his ad
miration-regular trance, you know.
by Jove!" l remarked, just to stir
him up bit. And he unloaded
great funnel of smoke and continued:
MY theory is that during some
danger, some mandarins war, likely,
somebody got cold feet about these
jewels and roped them in with these
bits of silk-see how different they
are from the rest of the stuff! Then,
when the roughhouse came, these pa
jamas were swept along in the sack

know. 1t was a clever method of con-
cealment-clever because simple-a
hiding place unlikely to be thought of
because right under the eye. You re-
call Poe's story of The Purloined Let
ter?'"
asked Billings how much he
thought one of the rubies was worth.
1 had in mind how devilish hungrily
he had looked at them. But he sighed,
then frowned and answered impatient
ly:
That's it! That's the trouble about
all the rare and beautiful things of
this life! Always some debasing,
prohibitive sordid money value, DAM
mit!"
He squinted at the stones again and
let the weight of one rest upon his
finger. He shook his head, signing.
We'll, they're over twenty carats
each, and therefore, of course, many
times the value of first water dia-
monds. After you get above five
carats with real Oriental rubies, dia-
monds are not in it."
With an abrupt gesture he pushed
the things away and rose. His pipe
had gone out, but / noticed that he
did not relight it. l held the gems
full In the rays of the lamp, and Bill
ings paused, holding hungry gaze
over his shoulder.

say one was worth?" l asked care

He flashed quick glance at me
and then away.

things. Waistcoat buttons, likely
Billings was given to loud dress and
other bounder stunts. But he just sat
there looking down after l spoke, and
presently stole queer glance at me.
He suddenly held up the row of red
buttons again.

exclaimed brusquely. Have you real
ly no Idea what these are, these glass
buttons you are yapping about? or

Assure? What can you assure
what do you know about it?" said
Billings rudely. What did your friend
know, or the one he had these things

he snapped his fingers.

tie caps and the long, wirelike threads
