THURSDAY MORNING BIBLE
Cl ASS m FUND MENTAL

The Thursday Morning Bible class
at Central Union Church is inst now
making study Of the very Magma
Charta of the Christian religion. To-
morrow morning the hpnr will be de-
voted to a discussion of the second
section of Jesus sermon on the
mount, in which he sets forth the re-
lation of His ideal for human life to
the generally accepted ideal among
the people of his race and time. To
many He seemed revolutionary in His
teaching. and even today there are
few people who consistently carry out
His ideas to their logical conclusion.
The whole question will be thor
Ioughly discussed and a statement pre-
scented upon it during the class hour
tomorrow morning.
The women of the city, whether
members of Central Union or not. are
invited to attend the class; 115 have
now enrolled. Ninety-two were pres
ent last week.
The class begins, promptly at 1880
and continues Just one hour

the place does not fit him; for
there is many a tenant who, if
he had the opportunity, would
change the appearance of a sore.
ly neglected looking place. Even
with no opportunity and no en-
enlargement, for his own sake
and the sake of his family, and
without pay, he is often trying
to make the place something
worth looking after. If he had
any encouragement, he would
make it fit good neighborhood.
Is the landlord trying to make
the place fit the neighborhood,
or is he simply trying to get all
he can out of it and saying to
himself: After me the deluge!

Surprise Party.

A surprise party that really
was a surprise occurred at the
home of Rev. and Mrs. Parham
on Tuesday evening" the 4th
inst, it being the anniversary of
Mr.. Parham's birth.
About IS of the most intimate
friends of the family gathered at
the home in the early evening
hours, knowing that Mr.. and
Mrs. Parham had been called
away on the morning train to
Miami. On their return at nine
o'clock they we're indeed sur
prised to find both drawing room
and parlors filled to overlooking
with friends bearing many to-
kens of love and affection, among
which was a most beautiful and
elaborate silk patchwork quilt
with fancy stitched edges and
bearing many initials and mot
toes, all done in silk; also two
beautiful quilts, a present from
the ladies of Joplin, Mo. There
were also sofa cushions galore.
Many beautiful vases of flowers
decorated the rooms.
After a short speech by Mr..
Parham in acceptance of the
many presents, which would have
done justice to an occasion of
greater magnitude for the elo-
quence that fell from his lips,
the evening was spent in song,
prayer and praise.
Mr.. Parham gave a brief his
tory of the Jewish custom of
serving the bread and wine, the
Lords Supper was partaken of
and at a late hour the guests
took their departure for their
various homes.
A toast was answered by Mr..
Parham in wishing the guests
all the good things for which
the bread and wine in the saera-
meut signi6ed.
The occasion will not soon be
forgotten by either host or guest.
A Guest.

the nature of things, suffering
in the cities must be impersonal.
II is not the suffering of friends
and neighbors, and kith and kin,
as it is in the smaller town. So
the mail order house, crushing
out our towns, is drying up the
milk of human kindness in our
hearts, and that brings us back
to first principles; if we who live
in these small towns in America
cannot see that our duty to our
country lies first of all in our
duty to our neighbors, then we
are blind indeed to the basis Of
real patriotism, for after all,
patriotism is only neighborly
kindness; patriotism is not in
cheering for the flag. i is not
in feeling our eyes filled with
emotional tears at hearing the
Star Spangled Banner" patriot
ism is just old fashioned human
duty; to sacrifice our neighbor-
the man who helps the town
with its taxes, with its bubble
business, with its myriad activi-
ties for neighborly righteousness
to sacrifice that man and his
business for the mere sake of saw
ing a dollar on the purchase of a
hundred dollars worth of goods
is just as unpatriotic as it is to
spit at the flag. For the flag,
if it means anything, means the
golden rule; the flag means
friendly burden bearing;it means
mutual help in trouble; it means
standing together against COM
mon foes. The motto of the mail
order house is every man for him
self and the devil take the him
dermost-and you bet the devil
will. That spirit never fails to
work; and the weak man, the I'M
protected man, the man alone
the man on the farm, at the end
of the fact, when his farm mar
ket is gone, when his town is
gone, when the spirit of selfish
ness and greed has left this coun-
try cold and hard and mean and
neighborless-the farmer will be
the hindermost; so / am glad to
know that this association is
taking up this work-a cherries,
thankless, but necessary and
patriotic task-and is pushing it
to a successful conclusion. You
have my heartiest sympathy and
may call upon me whenever l
can help. Truly,
w. A. White.

True Patriotism.

BY William Allen White. Emporia, KS.
To Southwestern Lumbermen's
Association, Kansas City, Mo.
am exceedingly sorry that l
cannot attend your convention.
1t seems to me that the Lumber.
men of this section are undertake
ing a work that should commend
them to all good citizens. The
preservation of the home trade
to the home town carries with it
the preservation of many of our
American institutions. It seems
to me that lot OF good things
in American life will pass if the
country town passes. And it
will pass just so surely as central
ization of retail mail order bust
ness in cities continues. The
American country town, the town
of from one hundred to one hum
dred thousand people, preserves
better than the crowded city, and
better than the lonely ranch and
isolated farm life, the things
that make America great. Here
in these country towns the spirit
of neighborliness is the prevail
ing spirit. Men come to know
one another and when any two
human being come to know an
other, in the one who is intelli-
gent and wise, respect always
rises for the other. To know
ones fellows always is to sympa-
thize with them. Neighborli-
ness spells fraternity. The
American country town, with its
broad circle of friendships, with
its close, homely, simply relations
between men, with its spirit of
cooperation, and with its ecop-
omic status that permits the Gre
alton of no indecently rich and
no abjectly poor, the American
country town, it seems to me, is
the most hopeful of our Ameri-
can institutions. To destroy
that town furnishing the market
for the farmer and giving steady
employment to labor, means a re-
organization of our commercial,
social and industrial life that
will be revolutionary-and more,
a matter of doubtful value.
The mail order house, there
fore, becomes a menace to this
country. The mail order house
unrestricted will kill our smaller
towns, creating great cities with
their terrible contrasts of life,
with their cruel social relations,
with their inevitable caste feel
ing that comes from the presence
of strangers who are rich and
poor, living side by side. Friend
ship, neighborliness, fraternity
or whatever you will call that
spirit of comradery that comes
when men know one another well,
is the cement that holds togeth-
er this union of the States. 1t is
not created in great cities. Great
cities give much in aims, but lit
tie in justice. Only as we know
each other we'll can we treat each
other justly; and the city is a
wilderness of careless strangers
whose instincts of humanity are
daily becoming more and more
bluuted to suffering, because in

Do You Fit
Your Land?

World, II we see a magnificent
building, with beautiful grounds,
adjoining an ancient demesne OF
oak, and coming out of the door
way a fat old dowager, whose
every move suggests exclusive
ness, and with her a young dude
with a monocle and cane, the
question arises in our mind: Do
these people fit the place? A
magnificent place, truly, built by
strong, virile men, two hundred
or five hundred years ago; but
do these people fit it? Could
they have conceived the idea?
Could they have built it?
Sometimes when travelling ov-
er the county and looking at the
magnificent farms in the Miss
issippi valley, the question also
arises: Does the farmer fit the
place? His farm has been built
by the great Farmer of farmers,
and apparently with infinite pains
continued for many generations.
The glacier has ground the soil
finely and deposited it to great
depth. Waters are hid beneath
the surface, or, in the more roll
ing sections, perennially pour
from the underlying rock on
which the glacier deposited its
burden. Vegetable matter has
been accumulating ever since the
glacier left it. A magnificent
foundation; a magnificent struc-
ture. Does the farmer fit it?
Sometimes he does. On this
superstructure he has founded a
home. 1t may have cost much,
or it may have cost little; but the
home that fits this place has a
certain character about it that
has no definite relation to its
cost. 1t is slightly. The other
buildings match the home. Ev'
erything is neat. The fences are
in good repair. The roads are
dragged after every rain. The
orchard is we'll trimmed; the gar
den nicely planted and cultivated
by a boy and a horse, instead of
a girl and a hoe. Evidently this
man fits the farm and fits the
place.
If the we'll is a long distance
from the house and near the out
buildings; if the gates are of the
hinges; if the house gives no evil
dence of paint; if there are
neither flowers nor vines around
it; if the hogs and chickens have
access to the garden; if the fences
are three.strand barbed wire,
sagging here, and there broken;
if the machinery is lying out OF
doors since used last year; if per-
ennial weeds such as burdock,
wild parsnip and horse. nettle are
in evidence; if the fields have
sort of sad look; if there are I'M
drained sloughs or open gullies
or stagnant ponds anywhere;
then we conclude that the man
does not fit the place any better
than does the dowager and the
dude fit the palatial home in the
Old World.
If we see evidences of improve
mer1t in buildings and fences; If
the land itself seems to have a
hopeful look-rather ashamed OF
itself. but evidently hoping and
expecting to do better-then we
conclude that the man is trying
his best to fit the place. We
know that if he fits the build
f. ings, and is trying to tit the
place, there is generally happi-'
ness in the home, and the best
thing on earth, a good family,
is in the process of development.
Do you fit the place? We see
other farms that are evidently
not owned by the man who tills
the soil, who is renting by the
