THE PASSING THRONG

THE PASSING THRONG
At his monthly covenant meeting last
Sunday forenoon, the pastor of the Mount
Zion Baptist Church, Rev. w. d. Carter,
aClmonished his members to forget the in
cident of their conversion to Christ and tell
of some recent blessings from the Creator
which set us to thinking and we mentally
concluded that every day, every hour and
every minute, those who would open their
hearts and let the Savior in, a new bless
ing would come to them. With the Savior
in full control of your heart and the Glove
your neighbor as yourself' radiating in
every direction, there is no doubt but bless
ings from all sides, from above and below,
will freely flow in upon you. Who loves
his neighbor himself is radiator of help
and happiness and such person is already
God s elect and, like EnOch Arden his or
her name in the book Of life will lead all
the rest.
Hundreds Of voters may be signing the
'wet' petitions that are being circulated
in Seattle, but those multiplied hundreds who
are doing so must be doing it in secret, if
at all. Though the spoilers implore the men
and women who pass them on the streets to
halt for a moment and sign their names, yet
but few do so. Occasionally one more curl
enough to read the introduction, but hurry
away as soon as the nature of the petition
Is learned Perhaps the petition will get
the requisite number of signers, but it is
seriously doubted after observing the
indifference shown to it in Seattle, where
the petition expects to get the greatest
number of signers. It's hard to find even
a man mean enough to want Old Man Booze
brought to life in this state again.
'Strew some flowers along my journey
through life and cut out the gorgeous floral
designs at my frmeral,' exclaimed Uncle
Josh. who had seen a wagon load Of flowers
going to the grave Of one who in life had
been pronounced a common nuisance and
not worth a confound. Everybody and his
relations will rush to the funeral of some
one they did not know when living, and if
they did they had no use for him. 1t ofen
happens that flowers will be sent to the
funeral of one for whom the sender had no
use in life, but the flowers are sent because
1t S a lad and the sender does not want to
appear less important than his neighbour If
the living would send more flowers to the
living and less flowers to the dead, truly
would the millennium be with u.s.
That the most of you in whose hands an
occasional copy OF CaytOn's Weekly falls
are well pleased with it's contents and are
not adverse to subscribing for the same,
providing some one solicits you to do so,
which is almost impossible for the most part,
goes without saying, but if it pleases you
and you think it worth the So that it costs,
then why not order the paper either by tele-
phone or by mail It is fact that we
seldom ever solicit one to become sub
sclber but that we get a favorable reply,
which is evidence conclusive that if you do
not think it a necessity, you at least are
willing to tolerate it, The management
would be doubly delighted to receive your
order for the paper either by telephone or
by mail. Beacon 1910 or 3O3 Twenty

In one week more the high schools Of the
