The Presbyterians made much of
the Sunday service and most appro-

edifice was filled to capacity at the
morning service and the congregation
joined heartily in welcoming the new
members into the church. Rev. J. G..

Sunday was a gala day at the Bap-

the numbers OF that church. Rev. e.

arranged for beautiful service, which

pleasure OF the congregation. Many

the Sunday services and it is expected
that the former membership will be in
creased by sixty when all of the per-
sons are united.
In the neighborhood Of fifteen people
were taken into membership at the
German Methodist church on Sunday,
but we are told that several more will
join the church during the next few
weeks as a result OF the evangelistic
campaign.
Some Denison people have been find.
ing considerable fault with the reviv.

the amount of good that has come out
CT the recent meetings there is no
question but what it was well worth
the effort put into them and those who
went forward at the meetings have
made more firm their resolves by unit
ing with the church where they will
continue to receive help. 1t was 4
notable fact that the people who have
been discrediting the meetings are the
ones who rendered the least assistance
and did very little if anything toward
the financial support of the five weeks
campaign.

that sufficient force of the Texas

Officers Of Cameron county, after
five weeks constant work, said they
had found clew to the identity of
some of the raiders. A young Amer

ness to the killing of Austin and his
son, was quoted as saying he recog
nized five or six of the Mexican ban
Tits as residents Of the Sebastian
community. He gave their names tc
the authorities, it was said. This in

certain that Mexican residents on the

In reading the Record we see that the

there can be built at small cost as

out Moapa and the upper Muddy. But
to build road through there is going
to be very expensive affair as there
Is many miles of sand to contend with

Petrograd.-From absolutely trust
worthy sources the Bourse Gazette

offered the Russians terms Of peace.
The reply of the czar to the Danish
monarch's letter was the categorical
declaration that at the present time
there could be no question Of peace

Having failed to carry out her orr.
ginal programme Of crushing France
in the first few months of the war,
German has now altered her general
plan and is straining every nerve to
eliminate Russia from the number Of
her antagonists in order to be able to
concentrate all her energies against
the allies in the west, when they Al
asst are in position to cause her ser
ious inconvenience.
Germany had hoped, by the momen
um of her assault on both TANKS O.
he Polish salient, to cut off and utter
= destroy the Russian armies occupy
ing it. and thus reduce Russia to i'm
potence.
No doubt her calculations were
largely based on the idea that the
Russians would cling desperately t.
Warsaw and Vistula fortress, and thus
allow themselves to be caught in g
tran
