Sunday School Notes
NJ. X. CHURCH.


tendance at Sunday School last
Sunday.
Mrs. W. w. Wyatt had charge
Of the missionary program Sum
day and laid much stress on our
duty to 1.-THE. If we all tithed
there would not be any shortage
Of money for the Lords work.
You will always find a welcome
at the services at the Methodist
church. Come and see.
Several new faces were seen at
Sunday school last Sunday. We
hope TO see more next Sunday.
Good live Sunday schools will
make Baxter Springs a much bet
ter place to live.
MOTHERS DAY.
Next Sunday, all over the land
is Mothers Day. Is your mother
still living? If she il, send her
some flowers, either white carna-
tions or red roses; make il a whole
bunch, not 4 single flower as If
your love could be gagged in such
a stingy measure.
If your mother is living wear a
red rose in your lapel, or
il she has passed on, a white car
nation in remembrance of her.
And don't forget, if she is living,
to sit down about next Friday
and write her a letter; she's look
ing for 1t. True, she may be get
ting old and a little childish, but
she's your mother still; tell her
how you love her, how often you
think of her through the day and
what pleasant recollections you
have for the many little kindness
es she did for you when you were
helpless child.
Dear old mother; how little we
appreciated her, how often we
caused heartaches where we
might have lightened her burden.
How different we would act if we
had to live our lives over.
Special services will be held in
the Methodist church to commem-
crate this day and all old people
especially are invited to come.
If you haven't a way to ride, if
you will phone the pastor or r.
VI. Gilman, an auto will call at
your home and take you to and
from the service.
ANOTHER GET ACQUAINTED NIGHT.
Did you attend the last one of
these meetings? If you didn't
look out for the next one and
come, for it's to be held soon.
Lots of good things to eat, every
free. Sounds a little off color"
for a Methodist bunch, but it is
just that way; we don't want
your money; we want your ac'
quaintance and friendship. AT
this meeting a short program is
usually given in which you will
have a chance to talk, if you
choose. If you love good home
made music, it's going to be
there. The assessor says there
are about four hundred more peo-
pie in Baxter than there were a
year ago and they are still COM
ing. It's a good time to begin to
amalgamate this new population
in a genuine ''homeburg." In.
vite the new family across the
street to go with you and be sure
to leave your formality at home
You won't hear any dry SER
mons at these meetings. We dis.
cuss the things youlare interested
in; the morals of your schools
and the questions of proper enter
tainment for your children
at the shows and on the play
ground. Anything that is good
for our town is open for discus
sion, in that way we find our real
selves and come to a common
of work and understand
ing for the moral good of the
community.
