Rodando el tempo.
Para Ricardo Casal.

Soy un soldado de antafo,
Naleroso Y justicierO;
SOY tn noble caballero
de yiejo solar. hogano.
Oso un arcaico Sombrero
que en- bravo trueca el talante
dc mi palido semblante
y mi arrogante persona.
y Ilevo al cinto, colgante,
cl hierro de una tizona.
Soy valiente y temerario
Y, la vez, de alma ensonada:
10 mismO empunO una espada
que tomo mano un rosario.
Mi condicion de templario
en- mi tfaneo va presunta,
pues mi aeero Ia coniunta
descubriendo, q viva luz,
por un cabo, aguda pnnts
Y, por el otro, una cruz.
Con los ricos, altauero;
con los pobres, dadivoso
como amante SOY eeloso,
y como amigo, sincere.
Con el fuerte, iusticiero.
y con ell debil, clemente,
que es mi brazo, dihgente:
para las damas abrazo,
que las cine blandamente,
y para los hombres, brazo.
Soy un bravo que ambiciono
la gloria de mi vecino,
que doy techo al peregrino,
que las ofensas perdono,
y que por ser mas divino,
Junte al noble caballero,
con rudezas de guerrero
sentimientos de poeta,
y hoy mi escudo Sc completa
de una hra de un acero
Soy humilde sin falsia,
de la humanidad me flo;
cuanto valgo y cuanto ansio,
diera por la patria mia
apasionado con brio,
para inchnarme a un amor
puede ell dinero muy POGO,
soy, en- fin, caro- lector,
en- mi tempo un gran senior,
y en- este siglo Jun gran loco

Mrs. Lena Mason, the noted evan
geiist, who has for IL days SO nobiy
filed the pulpit of the Allen A. NJ. f.
church. left here Monday for Kansas
City, Kansas. She has certainly won
for herself a place in the heart of
every colored person here that has
heard her preach. The way she ex-
plains the human side OF religion and
the humorous manner in which she
lectures before she begins the main
part of her sermon, is probably what
brought to- the meetings the large
number OF people who had never been
seen in church here until she came,
Her greatest work in saving souls
was accomplished during the latter
part of the first and the first part of
the second week of the revival. This
was the time during which she was
gaining for the church from Ave to
ten members every night. until she
had all the erstwhile Christians back
into the church.
1t Was noticed that she did not pay
the usual attention to outright sinners
that is generally paid to them by
most ministers. Her theory Is that II
all the backsliders be brought again
into the church, 1t will be much easier
to persuade sinners to make up their
minds to accept the new life.-

1t makes no difference what some
may say in their criticism of this
great divine, she has surely made
many an unhappy soul happy And if
her teachings are followed, it is GER
tain that those she made happy will
remain so. The things that many
mothers dreaded to tell their daught-
ers, that fathers dreaded to tell their
sons, that husbands dreaded to tell
their wives, and wives their hus-
bands, about how to get along pleas
antly and enjoy the fruits of this
world, Mrs Mason surely did make
plain to all without causing the least
embarrassment to any.

The Sundap school has planned
very elaborate services for Easter
Sunday, at which time also the dou-
ble-up campaign will eliminate. The
whole of the church is expected to
crowd into the Sunday school at that
time to show its interest in the little
folks. Nothing will so delight the
superintendent and teachers as to see
the greater part of the parents pres
ent. An Easter sermon will be deliy-

follow the lecture at eight o'clock.
Those who have attended these serv-
ices by our magnificent choir will be

will be fully justified on that evening.
