to full house on Influence" last
evening. The text was Gen. 1914.
Rom. 14.7, Phil. III. At the close of
the service there were three profess

to the church during the day. After
the preliminary introduction the pas
tor said. Il have three thoughts which
want you to get.
A Good Influence.
"Every one has some influence. The
extent of influence can not be mea-
sured 1t reaches TO the uttermost
shores of eternity. The good influ-
ence begins in the home. During the
early and formative years the child
is shut in to the influence largely OF

tent influences in these years, mother

mothers, you have sphere in life
more important than that of the states.
man. May God help you to fill it glor-
iouslyl
''The good influence next reaches out
into the school. How parents need
to know the influences surrounding
their children in the school We can
not be too careful with reference to
the character of women and men to
whom we commit our children in the
day school, We need exemplary Chris
tian men and women as teachers in our
schools.
"Out of the home into the school
goes this bad influence A bad pupil
in the school can do untold harm. Par
ents do not know as they ought, the
bad influences brought to bear upon
their children in the schools. Having
been teacher myself, am competent
to speak.
"Out from the school and commun
ity, the bad influence sweeps into the
state and the nation. The corrupting
influences in our nation need to be
curbed. Men who love God and hu
manity ought to be put into office
There are influences at work III oul

they are destroyed.

thank God for all the reforms which
have been accomplished in our state
and nation during the last two de.
cades. We have plenty Of evils left
to challenge our full and hearty Co
operation.
The Lost Influence.
"One OF the saddest sights in the
world is man or woman who has
lost influence. You will find them in
every community. Parents have lost
influence over their children; neigh.
bors have lost influence over neigh
bors, friends over friends.
1T had never dawned upon Lot how
inconsistently he had been living; he
never knew that he had lost his influ-
ence over his daughters and sons-in-
law until he went TO warn them OF
their impending doom. And he SEEM
ed one that Knocked unto his sons-in-
law Oh, how we need to stop and
consider whether or not we have lost
our influence. God help US to so live
that we shall have an influence over
those with whom we come in contact.
A Bad Influence.
'The bad influence likewise begins
in the home Some children are ire
trievably ruined because of the bad
influence of the parent over them in
early years. You can find children in
tender years who are already moral
perverts. Nothing good can come out
of a child surrounded by parents who
sow the seed of evil in the hearts oi
the children.

Dallas. Tex, July 5.--Dr. B. F. Sen.

says the Muenter idea is absurd. He
cannot conceive of its being true.
DR.. Sensabaugh says his knowledge
of Holt dates back to 1908 and his in
formation concerning the rest of his
life consists only of what had been

EGYPT.

British supremacy in Egypt has
been a gradual growth, but it may be
said to have had its origin in the VIC
tory gained by the English over the
French at Aboukir la years ago to-
day, March 8. 1901. A great part of
the ancient country had been con-
quered by Napoleon for the French a
few years before. A British expedi-
ton under Gen. Sir Ralph Abercromby
was sent to- drive out the invaders,
and after defeating the French in an
obstinate and sanguinary conflict the
Turkish government was restored. AL
though the British placed Egypt again
under the control OF the Porte, the
English Influence over the country
gradually became more and more
pronounced, until eventually France
had to abandon its plans for the con
quest Of the land of the Pharachs

WHAT HAS BECOME
OF THE DUDE ?

HAS thy uncertain bosom ever
with the hrst tumu1ts Of a real love?
Hast thou now dreaded and now
blessed his sway,
By turns averse and joyful to obey2''
What has become of the dude, that
pink of masculine, so-called perfec-
ton, he with the scented locks and
curIed Inustache, who wore crimson
rose in the lapel Of his coat, patent
leather shoes, and who sported an
ebony goldheaded cane?
He was a picture that many a ro-
mantle girl glanced furtively at as he
stood on the street corners with his
boon companions watching fair maid
ems fit by Parents rowned him down
unless they happened to have sons just
like him. Women who could air their
opinions without fear or caring a snap
whether they offended or not declared
that the dude had waist too much
| on the hourglass type to be quite nat
| ural. The tattlers " 1ispered to the
scandal mongers that they were sure
he wore stays and pulled them in pref
ltyz light at that.
The dude walked with a mincing
gait. His trouser legs were as tight
las the girls skirts are today. He
hirted shamefully. He was a walking
fashion plate, whose sole occupation
seemed to be to catch the eye Of a
4 pretty girl and bring a blush to her
Icheek because of his bold stare.
It has taken g. decade Of years for
1 the species to disappear. But where
have they gone? They certainly have
mot developed into sensible business
4 fellows. They hadn't brains enough
i under their tilted silk hats for that
The answer to the query is-they have
married foolish girls whose papas
4 were rich and able to support daugh-
ter's hubby. They have been trans
ferred from the street corner to the
old gents Office, where they strut
i about with Important nien, flirting
with the stenographers and roundIy
fabusing the male clerks for being SC
unfortunate as to be under their con

lsions owned by their rich wives Hill
about in automobiles and are first
