FOR PALISADE TOTS

Children's week in Paisade closed
on Sunday night last with an interest

the morning service in the upper audi
torium, at which Rev. GuhSe delivered
one of his most engaging talks to the
children on the subject of the walk
ing Lie" That is, he meant TO convey
the idea that some people went about
in their daily walks deceiving people
that they were one thing when in reali
ty they were another. His sermon to
the older people was one of his best.
At the evening exercises for the chill
drcn Mr.. GuhSe delivered an iliuStfat-

theirs. Thanks to the energy of our
fellow tOwnsman, II. X. Brown, how
ever, who went before the post Office
department in Washington and made Il
plea to save the name of PaliSade,
which was the name in which all the
property holders here had their deeds |

thing else than what he was. He chose
TO be the sun, and when he was turned
into that he made it so hot for every

number of additions to her Sunday
School cradle roll. The meeting of the |
men of the church the Thursday night |

Miss Dorothy Kenworthy sang one I
of her exquisite solos, Little Black

one of her race. 1t was full of pathos
and tenderness, and Miss Kenworthy
sang it with all of the feeling she could
put into the lines, and it went home
TO every heart. Miss Kenworthy is
worthy of every praise for the CON

ing, and she should have promising
future as vocal artist of high merit.
