METHODIST

A fine crowd greeted US on Sunday
morning and evening. The evening
crowd was great surprise to US as
there was no special service we thought
the chat. uqua at Fowler would draw
heavy on the congregation but we had
our average crowd.
There will be no preaching on next
Sunday morning but our usual open air
service will be held on the lawn. This
service will be in charge of our gospel
team but it will a musical program.
Come to this service if you want to
have the muical treat Of the season.
The parsonage is enjoying the pleas
ure Of having bah tub which was in
stalled last week. We have lived in
parsonages where we we're compelled
to carry our drinking water from our
neighbors, but not SO here, the people
of this church know how to treat their
pastor.
This church seeks to make you COM
Portable and will make you feel at
home.

Closing Out Sale

Elsewhere in this issue APP
pears the announcement of the
closing out of the Stevens Mer-
cha ntile Co. Stock. We always
like to get large advertisements
from our merchants, but this is
one We regretted to take, for the
reason that it is in addition to a
closing out sale, the announce
mentof the departure from our
city of one of our best families.
The Stevens family have resid-
ed in Meade for the past nine
years, and have always been as.
soclated with what is upright
and best. Their plans for the
future have not yet been made
pubic.

Did You Ever Think OF 1t?

Man is pretty wise animal.
He has solved many problems
and as a result he is mighty
puffed up. But he has his limi-
tations, He can figure out to
a second when a certain planet
will cross the path of another.
But he hasn't yet learned why
birds migrate nor how they fly.
He can put lot of wheels and
wire together and generate a
force he calls electricity, and
with 1t he can perform wonders.
But he doesn't know what
electricity is or why it is.
He can generate power at a
at given point, convey 1t hun.
creds of miles over slender
wire, and with it light a metro
polls
But he has never been able to
discover how a lighting bug or
glow worm generates light with
out heat.
He can build towering buid-
ings, high catbedrals, giant,
ship and lmmese bridges across
broad and turbulent streams
But he cannot make an egg,
nor explain why the inside of a
watermelon is red, the side
green and the seeds black.
He can navigate the ocean and
Is beginning to navigate the air.
Just about the time he gets
puffed up over hiss conquests of
nature that he is about to ex-
plode with a loud report did
Mother Nature smiles and gives
him a jolt that knock all the
wind out of him. He is big to
be sure. but compared to
what he has done, what he hasn't
doneis a grain of sand to the
bulk of the universe. Exchange

PRESBYTERIAN

Fifty percent of the audiences last
Sunday were not members of our
church. Whether wordy welcomes
were given them | do not know but
they know we were glad to see them,
About church going our counsel has
been to those who know their commun-
ity well: Go to church wherever you
can find the best people, the best prin-
ciples, the best teaching and where
you can do the most good. The first
and last of these requisites are by no
means the least important in the list.
Calvary represents the eternal
heartache of our God for SHINING hu-
manity," is one of the golden sentences
that recently happened to read 1t
Is by an unknown writer but it touches
chord that think will yibrate in the
heart of every one who is Gods child.
Have you read 1.-The Harvester" yet?
1t 10 an interesting and noble book and
will delight all who read except the
few who belong to "the dirty gang.
In it is recorded the harvester's prayer
that is short but is the best since Rob
ert Louis Stevenson lived and wrote.
Here it is: Almighty maker of the un.
iverse, help me to keep my soul anC
body clean and at all times to do untt
others as would be done by. Amen, ;
Can we do better than make that pray
er our own every morning when WI
rise?
Prof. Backe and Moses Black as wei
as the pastor have been assigned
leading part in connection with tn
next meeting of Larned Presbytery.
Are men becoming more pious an
devoted than women? was query a
last weeks prayer meeting when
was found that four times as man
men were present as there were Q
womankind.

Dear Friend
Iwlsh to write you few
words. just to thank you and

me to came here as soon as pos.
sible for am sure gladI start
ed when l did, and that am
here now, for l like it here; !
think the chances tor future in
every way are just ine, if one
improves their opportunities.
Mr.. Fullington treated me very
pjcelY, he took me around among
the people to see what they had
done and are doing in various
ways and under different condi-
tions so / might see for myself
and form my own opinion; then
he took me around over his land
thatI might see it and it all look
ed good to me, as all of his land
is good, the best have seen on
the way here; there is lots OF low
land in Louisiana of course but
.t
Isee Mr.. Fullington is not deal
ingi that kind of land; if l had
known him year ago as well as
! do now, would have invested
in some land north of here which
is worth twice as much now as
when be sold it year ago. !
am sure this land will be worth
twice what it ls selling at now,
in a year or two from now, and
1t may go much higher in that
time
/ Ihave bought about 73 acres

Woods land. / haye just got
me a'little house up and am liy.

ing and it's cool in the shade
when the sun shines hot but in
Kansas it was hot in the shade
also.
I would mt want to take $4,000
per acre now for mine if l
couldn't get more of the same
kind of land for $3.50 about.
I, In fact / don't know where l
would go to look at place that l
might like as we'll at $4,000. l
sure like it here and think | will
stay right here the rest of my
lite; my health is much better
here and / am not bothered with
bronchitis and colds as l always
have been in Kansas. There
are very few house flies here and
no more mosquitoes than in Kan
$sas. OF course this land is cut
slbver, there is the stumps to get
rid of and the ground needs to
be turned over and improved by
blowing under COW peas or other
green crops, after this treatment
the land will grow anything, |
think, that will grow anywhere
else. There was several of the
Meade, Kansas people asked me
to write and tell just what !
thought of Louisiana, do tell
them or let them read this.
lam well pleased with with
Louisiana in every way, and
hope all the Meade people and
others will be as well pleased
with their new homes here as /
am with mine.
