declared Evangelist Mathis at the
Tabernacle last night. ~ am against
cards because am against gambling.
and II Is not right to furnish the boy
with the education that may prove
his undoing. The kind Of an educa-
tion that every good citizen should
strive to give his boy is one that
stimulates and strengthens the brain.
and neither cards nor dancing can
elevate--it isn't their nature" said
Mr.. Mathis.
Mrs. Knapp and Messrs. Vessey
and Isbam sang 20 Father. Grant us
pardoh."
Tonight Is Mothers Night" and
a well filled house is expected. This

portunity for all to express anew
their reverence and love for mother.
and II has been asked that a white
flower or ribbon be worn by as many
as possible.
