ment on woman suffrage which the
Washington Post thinks is rather q
good thing, and which it discusses as
follows:
The vote by which the senate decid-
ed against the resolution for a. con

woman suffrage leaves no doubt of
the fact that the suffragists cannot
win their campaign along present
lines. Although there was a majority
of one vote in favor Of the resolution,

AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH

With the coming of hot weather, people are inclined to let up in their church work, especially in that of church at tendance. Christ teaches that if we are true disciples of His, it would be necessary for us to practice self. denial, daily. Let us, if need be, sacrifice self, and not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as have some. Let us show to the world that there is something more in the religion of Jesus Christ, than simply that of selfish pleasure.
 Our services were well attend ed last Sunday. During the hot weather we are anxious to make them especially interesting and helpful.

under God, are now leading the churches

the determination of our conference to

Farnol Dwight regarded his companion
musingly. He was young himself. \ and
Evelyn. for all her superior manner Of
authority and wisdom-why. Evelyn
could not be more than three or four
years the senior Of frivolous Cassie. Now
her face shone pale in the shadowy room,
her eyes cleaned large and lustrous,
her delicate lips parted anxiously.
Dwight noticed the quick rise and fall
OF the rose on her bosom, as he swayed
forward in his chair.
Miss Evelyn, IL you weren't so
dreadfully in earnest should be
Laughing by this time. You are try

dashed her to her feet. Quivering with
emotion. Her voice was bitter.
Mr.. Dwight! I sect is as Cassie
said. You want your freedom and
you are seeking 1t at her expense. Why
not be honest and end this sad af-
fair? What shall say to poor Cassie
when she returns? All, you are smil-

thought you were such a different sort

pressed her lips together and distract

Then. while Evelyn was regarding
him with horror a tap came on the
door II was the maid with a letter
which a messenger had just brought
to the house. Evelyn read the
scrawled words quickly beneath the
switched-on lights.

and to assist Evelyn to her cushions.
She was crying softly and repeating.
