Four things man must learn to do If he would make his record true: To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellow men sincerely; To act from honest motives purely; To trust in God and Heaven securely.

 "YOurs truly,


 The writer of the above occupies no isolated position as regards the inadvis- ability of a town appropriation for the employment of Visiting Nurse The sentiment against such a provision would be general. But fortunately for the project, nothing of the kind is con- templated. The meeting called for the 21st is, not to be town meeting in the sense implied in the above letter; it is a mass meeting of citizens, of both sexes, for the purpose of considering ways and means of raising sufficient sum of money by private subscription $9OO is the maximum desired-to secure the services of trained nurse for a year.
 No town appropriation will be asked for, and no increase of taxes suggested. Nobody will be importuned to subscribe, but an opportunity will be given those who, like our correspondent, feel like giving "of their on free will,' to be- come members of an association pledged to support the movement to any amount they feel constrained to subscribe, be it little or much.
 The correspondent may rest assured that the success of the undertaking is not dependent upon the grudging charity of reluctant supporters. The money will be raised, without difficulty. Al ready several hundred dollars have been pledged, and willingly subscribed, by persons who recognize the benefit which a visiting nurse will prove to all classes of our population. Those who do not understand the plan and are not thoroughly informed as to the mission and duties of visiting nurse will be fully enlightened by the competent speakers, at the meeting, one important purpose of which will be to explain the

THE VISITING NURSE.

The following letter indicates mis apprehension which may be entertaine by others than the writer, and whicl needs to be dispelled:
 "Friend Rodemeyer: I should dislike very much to go on record as protesting against hiring dis trict nurse for the town, for be- lieve such a nurse would be 8 great benefit in Canaan, as she is in other towns in this vicinity. But believe the thing ought to be done by subscription, just as these other towns do it, and not by special town meeting which would increase the taxes of those who can- not afford to pay more, as well as those who can and would be willing to give even more than their pro rata share of the increased tax would amount to. x So far as am concerned, am in favor of having a district nurse employed, and giving what can toward it, of my own free will, but if I at- tend the town meeting on May 21st and the matter of a town appropria- tion comes up, shall feel obliged to vote against it.

and those who produce II receive COM
paratively little credit. But democracy
has an influence In estimating truth,
and we are feeling It's air in the as
sertiveness OF concrete reality and In
the challenge to high theory for tan
gible witness. Telling the truth Is
coming to be exacted q those who
highly exalt the truth Without much
care for vulgar exactness. President
Howard Elliott has been telling the
truth about railroads to an extent
that furnishes the prophets with much
material for edifcation. For instance,
he points out that during the year
ending June, 1911, Of the 396 passen-
gers killed in the United States, nine
ty.six only were killed while riding on
trains in accidents fer which the rail-
roads were probably responsible,
while 90O,000,00O passengers were
handled. In 1907, BAT companies han
died 57O,617,563 passengers without
the death Of a single passenger In
train accident. "These figures cover
a mileagae of railroad equal to that
of the United Kingdom, Germany and
France combined, record OF I'M
munity from fatalities among those
who travel unequaled except In the
United States In previous years"
Due attention to little truth like this
would save a good deal Of spiritual
power expended in condemning rail-
roads as II they were murderous cor
porations, and in creating public SEN
timent hostile to them in the name
of public welfare and religion through
indiscriminate, inaccurate, and there
fore unjust, statements. - Christian

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

There was sound of revelry by
night,
And Belguim's capital had gathered
then
Her beauty and her chivalry; and
bright
The lamps shone Ger fair women
and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and
when
Music arose in its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which
spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage
bell.
But hush, bark, a deep sound strikes
like rising knell
Did We not hear it! No, twas but
the wind,
Or the car rafting DER the stony
street,
On with the dance, let JOY be uncon.
fined!
No sleep till morn when youth and
pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with
flying feet
But bark! that heavy sound breaks in
once more,
AS If the clouds its echo would re.

And nearer, clearer, deadlier than be.

the class and to have social events,
such as that Of the evening, every
month or two.
A large number Of those present
made short talks and one or two vol
unteered to go to the National con-
vention at Waco, and to a man they
agreed with Mr.. Hare on the need
of room for the Baraca class.
Notable among these short talks
was a fine talk by G. w. Showers, one
of the few invited guests, who was
enthusiastic over the movement and
over the growth of the Baraca class,
and started the subscription list for
the building OF the room by donating
$40.
There were several present who fol-
lowed Mr.. Showers lead and before
the subscription offers had closed,
SITS had been pledged for the cause.
This is one of the most noble and
noteworthy movements ever entered
into by any body Of young men, and
il should receive the hearty support
of every member of the Sunday school
and church.
A motion was made and carried that
a committee be appointed to see every
member of the class and to enlist the
aid of the members of the church.
Those appointed to serve on this
committee are as follows: r. s. Webb
Jr Robert Smith. H. S. Locke, ]. NJ.
Bullock Jr. and J. VI. Hare.
The meeting was then adjourned,
everybody shaking hands and agree
ant evenings they ever spent.

WHAT ABOUT 1T?

London has been Boosting of mil
lion more inhabitants than her great
rival New York. 1t is like pulling
eyeteeth for her to admit that she is
being outclassed even in population,
but here are the facts:
The London County Council, in its
statistical abstract for 1912 and 1913,
was obliged to state that the popula-
ton of London is but 4,521,0O0 This
statement was made some time ago
and vigorously denied by London to
no avail.
The council gives $4,000 inhabited
houses; birth rate, 24.5 per 1000;
death rate, 1876 per 1000; ratable
value only $225,OOO, 900. Unquestion-
ably, New York is the metropolis Of
the world.

same things are happening over and
over. Read the following from the
Galveston News of Friday:
stern Mars strobe in where Terpsi-
chore held revel Thursday night and
the officers ball at the Galvez Hotel
was brought to an abrupt termination.
1.-THE ballroom floor was thronged
with the usual gathering OF officers
and their ladies and a few invited
guests from Galveston society, when
the peremptory order came from the
headquarters of the Fifth Brigade OF
Infantry at Camp Crockett. The gaye-
ty was brought to a sudden close by
the entry of an orderly bearing the
message from headquarters. All or.
ficers were directed to report imme'
diately. The regimental band, which
was supplying the dance music, ceas-
ed playing at signal from one OF the
officers. The dancers, their feet en-
meshed in the welt Of the strains,
we're halted in the midst of the meas
ures of the dance Confusion and a
ripple OF excitement threw a complete
transformation upon the scene In the
ballroom. Then patriotic enthusiasm
ran riot when the band crashed into
the strains of 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner"
THE officers and the musicians
waited only long enough to offer their
hasty apologies, then hurried away &c
camp.
"The departure of the troops today
will end the enjoyable social functions
given under military auspices eacf
Thursday night in which Galveston
society has participated for man!
months. The ballroom was given by

The East Texas Register says that
Several out of town candidates have
given as one reason for wanting of
fee that they could move to Carthage
and educate their children in a good
school" We've heard many reasons
given for wanting office, but never that
one. It's brand new. That is wanting
office purely for the spoils thereof and
the idea of service to the people never
occurs to cattle OF that class.

FOUNTAINS AN IMPERATIVE NEED

Human beings can always find
place to quench their thirst. Dogs
and cats and birds can wander and
find water. The horse has to wait.
perhaps all day. for mealtime, to get
water. He can't tell his master when
thirsty, and can't wander off to quench
his thirst. Street fountains solve the
horses need. Our readers will give
untold blessings by having as many
fountains placed as possible. II only
modest ones. The horse cares not for
grandeur, but for water.-Our Dumb
Animals.
