Committed to His Care.


II we could learn the art Of abandon
ing ourselves. of committing our way
unto the Lord, casting our burdens on
him. we would soon discover an ease
and grace we long had sought and
mourned because We found it not. The
unconscious element is a very impor-
tant n in our lives and character
OF should be. AS these simple, every
day duties, in great measure, take care
of themselves. our conscious effort IS
left to be directed far up the line.
There is such a thing as trying too
hard to be a Christian, when all that
is needed is to- trust in God and a
faith in his power to bring the desired
result to pass. We are his children,
and we shall remember that children
must learn there are certain impor-
tant phases of their lives that should
be attended to by those above them.
and dutiful children will raise no OBJ
lection. Commit thy way unto him.

MODERN PROGRESS.

A noted English parliamentarian
tossed back his thick white name of
hair, stroked his white beard and said
in broad Scotch accent to a New York
reporter:
The rise in world wages has been
great, but the rise In world prices has
been greater. We have had progress,
but 1t has been progress in the wrong
direction.

Growth by Conflict.

p~eacefulness and gentle calmness.
Paul. the spiritual giant, often waged
a battle within himself. He refers to
it in these words: $50 fight !. as not

a victory which will be crowned with
strength for God.

questions in the minds of both chill.
dren and adults. What is the Com.
munion service? What does it repre-
sent? What truth does it teach? In
answering these questions the Chris.
tan afforded an opportunity of stat.
ing the facts of the Christian faith.
First, the Communion commend.

boat or train and soon arrive at Cal

reach Its summit where once stood
the cross on which Jesus Christ died.
No intelligent person will deny the
historicity of the fact of Christ's
death.
Second. the Communion is a fact Of
Christian faith. True, Jesus died, but
what did he die for? Here Christian
faith declares itself by answering, He
died for our sins" The question OF
sin must be dealt with, its debt must

must be appeased, some ground must
be found upon which a righteous God
may deal in mercy and pardon with
sinful man. The Communion table
tells us that all this has been accom-.
pllshed in the death of Christ. 1t &C.
knowledges the reality of both sin
and death. and relates these two great
facts in the death of Christ. In the
words of Jesus w say, This cup Is
the New Testament In my blood. shed

may deny the vlcarious atonement OF
Christ; the pulpit may be silent

 The shamrock and harp o1 Erin" were worn on many lapels and the sons of old Ireland were joined by many who did honol to their patron saint.
 Among the wearers of the shamrock--the real thing too d that, was Patrick and James J Farrell who received a package of shamrocks on St Patricks day morning from Dublin. Ireland they were sent them by the formers brother.
 The ARGUS man was presented with a bunch of these real sham. rocks by friend, J. J.

A VERY BEAUTIFUl SPRING WEDDING.
The ncCreight--Roescher Wedding, at Presbyterian Church Wednesday One of the Prettiest Ever in Brink.
 1ov

One of the prettiest, most i'm pressive and largest attended weddings ever solemnized in Brinkley was the marriage of Miss Blanche McCreight to Mir. Fred Roescher at the First Pres byterian church on Wednesday morning at eleven o'clock.
 The church altar and choir loft had been beautifully deco rated with palms, ferns, sweet magnolias and Easter lilies.
 Promptly at the appointed time Miss Fife Dunlap, the talented vocalist, sang in g wonderfully clever way, T Love You Truly" and as she closed, the organ pealed forth those de- lightfully sweet strains of Men delssohn's wedding march and the wedding party filed down the aisles, the ushers, Messrs Roy McCreight and Raleigh El- ledge proceeding the bride who came in on the arm of her father Mir. E. T. McCreight, through the left aisle and ushers Messrs Clyde Cooper and Lewis Wilson proceeding the groom and best man, Mr. Lyle Keats of Nettleton down the right aisle, while Miss Fife Dunlap who at tended the bride assumed a position to her left, as the we'd ding party formed about the altar. Then Rev. Edw. K. Temple in a most impressive way proceeded with the ceremony and as he did so, soft strains ot the violin in a song of worshipful love added to the feeling o1 solemnity of the occasion.
 The bride was handsomely gowned in a pretty tan coat suit, and carried a boquet of beaut- full Easter lilies, whicE was presented to her by the Presbyterian Sunday school as 2 token of love and esteem.

 There was no indication of another cyclone but to those who have been through an experience of that kind, these March winds are not at all pleasant.
 Slight damages done to the porch. fluer.1 and roof at the Arlington Hotel was thoroughly covered by insurance.

guests of honor were the ten bright boys, composing the Sab- bath school class of the bride.
 The wedding orchestra music was delightfully."- sweet. Racket Barnes with the violin, Oscar McC cCreight with the claironett and Mrs. Wm. B. Folsom at the organ.
 The ceremony over, the bridal party together with the families of the bride and groom, quickly entered automobiles and were driven to the Arlington Hotel, for the wedding breakfast.
 Both of the contracting parties were born and raised in Brink ley.
 The bride is the only daugh- ter. of Mir. and Mrs. E. T. Me Creight and is one of the finest, prettiest and mostpopular young women in the state. She pos sesses a christian character of exceptional qualities. She was on the three annual tours of the Arkansas on Wheels trains and in the various states and cities where many social functions were extended was always a great favorite as she was also with the prominent men and women aboard the train.
