A REUNION and
PICNIC OCCASION.
OLD TIME RELIGION PREACH
ED; HYMNS OF OUR FA-
THEIRS REHEARsED.
A Happy Celebration Held Near
Farber Last Sunday.

The editor and wife have not
spent a happier day in recent
years than we enjoyed last Sun
day with that splendid people il
the community south and south.
east of Farber, near Prairie Hill
school house. We went there
principally upon invitation of oul
auld lang syne friend, Rev. w
II. Hook, of Mexico, who used tC
preach at Prairie Hill 33 years
ago. Last Sunday was planned
as a reunion of the fathers and
mothers and their children who
used to listen to the Gospel as
presented by Bro. Hook in those
pioneer times.
The gathering was held in a
grove-"God's s first temples -
on Mr.. j. ID. Pitt S farm, native
ofthat neighborhood and who was
the good man who met us at the
station in Farber and who saw
that we got to the grounds and
back, again. To him and his good
wife and promising young son,
Master Bryan, we are under last
ing obligations, as well as to 9th
ers on the grounds who showed us
every courtesy
The people were pouring into
the grounds by 8 o'clock. A I'M
ion meeting of five Sunday schools
was held--West Plains, Russell
Nuckles, superintendent, and the
four schools at Farber, the Bap-
tist, Judge j. d. Sutton, superin-
tendent; Christian, w. c. John
son, superintendent Presbyterian
DIR. Mayes, superintendent, and
Methodist, c. A. Davault, super
intendent.
After this Rev. Hook preached,
with his old-time fire and zeal.
Nothing but the old hymns of
our fathers" were sung: "There
Is Fountain Filled With Blood,
ION Jordan's Happy Shore, "
Jesus Lover Of My Soul" etc.
No musical instrument of any
kind was used. Somebody offered
to bring an organ, but it was hui
morously stated that Bro. Hook
threatened to throw it in the
creek. The old and young voices
present made the woods ring with
the praise of song and the old
tunes.
At the noon hour there was
great spread of dinner. There
We're perhaps a thousand people
on the grounds by this time and
everybody was fed and yet there
was thousands left. " The peo-
pie We'd with each other in show
ing genuine old-time hospitality,
At two o clock the voice of song
was raised again, followed by an
other sermon by Rev. Hook. Bro.
Hook announced as part of his
text something about how women
should obey their husbands, and
at the time we wondered how he
would save himself with such
theme, but he got thru all right
and made an application that we
had never heard before, which
was all pleasing to the ladies. All
adjourned from the stand singing,
God Be With You Till We Meet
Again"
Following this there was gen
eral conversation and greetings
and old stories rehearsed of the
earlier settlements in that neigh
borhood, recalling the names of
those once here but now gone. A
list of the old settlers of that
will be interesting
here:
n. II. Sutton and wife came to
the neighborhood in 1855. Mr..

His eminence listened to eulo- gistie addresses by W. Bourke Cock ran, Supreme Court Justices J. J. Delaney and L. A. Giegerich, and M. J, Mulqueen, president of the Catholic club, and others.
 Cardinal Farley was presented with a set of expressed resolutions from the laity thanking the pope for the signal hono- conferred upon the New York archbishop, renewing pledges of loyal ty to the see of Peter and congratuiat- ing Cardinal Farley. His eminence made Il modest address of thanks The principal ceremony of the week in celebration of the elevation of Cardi- nal Farley will be the formal installa- tion at St. PatriCk's cathedral next Thurs5ay. Clergymen from all parts of the United States and Canada will participate.
