THE BROADER cHARIT.

Every year the world is growing bet
ter. Every year the people are be-
coming more charitable, broader
minded. bigger hearted and more anX'
ious to serve and be helpful to their
fellowmen. Help for the helpless
homes for the homeless, relief for the
distressed, is taking a tirmer grip on
the people, and we are growing into
a wider and broader philanthropy. The
following comments of the Galveston
News on the subject are timely;
"He loved them-the little children
and his heart bled for them in their
trouble. But to emulate him in this,
and one becomes a good Christian.
For one may not love and suffer and
not raise his hand to help, to extend
that altruistic, higher charity, to
which Christ gave his name. Slowly,
surely that charity is making over the
world. It's influence is manifest
notably in organized benevolence, for
the mitigation Of distress, for housing
the homeless. feeding the hungry and
relieving and curing the sick, Pre-
eminent among such institutions are

HISTORIC cRAcoW.

COW And the ancient capital Is still
the intellectual center of the Polish
Nation.
"Cracow is situated in fertile plain
on the left bank Of the Vistula (which
becomes navigable here) and occupies
a position Of great strategical import
ance. Cracow has thirty-nine churches
about half the number It formerly
had-and twenty-five converts for
monks and nuns. OF these the most
important is the Stanislaus Cathedral,
in Gothic style, consecrated in 1859,
and built on the Wawel, the rocky
eminence to the southwest Of the old
town. Here the Kings of Poland were
crowned and this church is also the
Pantheon of the Polish Nation, the
burial place of its Kings and its great
men. Here lie the remains of John
Sobiesk, of Thaddaeus Kosciuszko, of
Joseph Poniatowski and of Adam

THE WHITE CHRISTMAS"
Exercises Held at First
Presbyterian Church.

The Christmas exercises OF the
Presbyterian Sunday school. known as
the White Christmas" were held at
the First Presbyterian Church last
evening at 1880. and were well attend
ed despite the mud and inclement
weather. One Of the best Christmas
programs ever heard in Bryan was
furnished by the little children and a
few grown.ups who we're on the pro.
gram Every number was very highly
enjoyed as all on the program acquit.
TEN themselves splenddly. Especial.
ly well enjoyed were the story of The
Other Wise Man" by Miss Anita Park,
and the story Of the origin Of The
white Christmas" by Rev. Storey,
pastor of the church.
No Christmas tree was furnished.
but the church was well decorated for
the occasion and an old.fashioned
hearth was conspicuous in the decora.
tions. Old Santa Claus stood at the
front and accepted the gifts OF the
children of the Sunday school and
many others present for the little or.
phans in the orphans home at Files
Valley. The names OF the orphans at
the home we're called and a child with
a present for each would come forward
and bring his gift. There were ninety.
five gifts received for the seventy.fve
children in the home This goes to
prove the free heartedness Of the chill
dren OF the Sunday school, and also
how the White Christmas Is gaining
in the hearts of the little ones, who
are learning to have Joy in giving
as well as in receiving.
A cash donation for the home was
also taken from those present, and
about $50 was received in this man.

Mr.. II. L. Mcknight. Chairman.
We, your committee appointed to re-
commend to this meeting such crops
that will bring money and for which
ready market may be had, recon.
mend the following:
First and foremost. Corn. We feel
that this crop has been neglected to
some extent and believe that with the
proper seed. proper preparation Of the
soil and intense cultivation and fert.
ilizatlon this crop can be materially
increased
Second Peas. We believe this Is a
profitable crop and one for which
market may be had. Besides II Is
something that will sustain life and
will obviate the buying OF some things
we are not now raising.
Third Coolers. This Is a good food
crop for most any kind OF stock on
the farm and are about as safe a crop
as we can plant
Fourth Hogs. II weraise a surplus
OF the above. then we can feed them
TO our hogs for which there is always
market at good prices. besides II
will enable the farmers TO make his
own meat and be independent OF the
packing houses.
The eat question is one that has

We recommend that the dairy ques-
