this city. has received a copy OF the
Kansas City Star. which contains a
remarkable tribute to DR.. Brooks
uncle. DIR. John A. Brooks OF prohi-
bition fame.
The article is written by DR.. George
Hamilton Combs Of Kansas City. who
was. until recently pastor OF the
Independence Boulevard Christian
church. which Is sometimes called
THE Il. \. Long Church." and which
was founded by John A. Brooks.
Through It's 30 years Of history In
which II grew to be the largest and
weathiest in the brotherhood. II had
only these two pastors.
Incidentally the article shows the
cordial relationship existing between
these mon OF God John 4. Brooks
was never out OF pastorate New
ertheless he found It possible to do
an amazing amount OF evangelistic
work. In this field he was remark
ably successful. II was said he bap-
tized with his own hands over $4,000
people. n record unsurpassed by any
American preacher.
When 1t is recalled that his pastor
ate included ST. Louis. Kansas City.
Memphis. London and other great
cities one wonders how he found Il
possible to give serious attention to
reform or political work. But he
carried the prohibition banner as
candidate for the govornorshlp OF
Missouri and as vice presidential
OF the nation. Incidentally
hc spoke In every state and terri
tory In America and often In Can
ada.
He spoke dozens and hundreds OF |
times in some of the states. He was
n thirty-third degree Mason and was
grand master OF the order In Mis-
souri,. Here. too. he rendered dis
tlnguished service. He was man
of distinguished appearance and strik-
ing personality. No one who saw
him ever forgot him. His voice was
ike pipe organ, or the ripping OF
many waters. Upon occasions Il was
ike the roaring OF many waters, ex-
pressing a Niagara OF indignation or
, cyclone OF invective. He was n
graduate Of old Bethany college under
Alexander Campbell. and was splen-
Idly equipped intellectually for his
treat work. His tremendous powers
u physical endurance were the con-

DR. CHAPPELL DELIVERS
SECOND IN SERIES Of
SERMON ON MY YOUN c
N AN LAST n | c H 7.

To a crowd that taxed to the last
seat of the Broadway Methodist church
DR.. Ashley Chappell pastor preached
the second in the series of sermons
on my Young Man" the theme be-
ing His Style" last night.
DR.. Chappell said in part mo man
can afford to ignore his style. Style
Is the general outward expression and
appearance OF the man. His style ex-
presses itself in his speech A certain
man tells Of seeing a distinguished
looking old couple in the cafe at din
ner. He was deeply interested in them
till he heard the old gentleman say:
Wife, ye jest orter try some of these
billed petaters."
StyN Expressed in Garments.
His style is expressed in the gar
ments he wears. If he wears better
clothes than his income justifies, he
may advertise himself as a thief No
man can afford to advertise his back
more than his head. A fine suit Of
clothes does not guarantee real style
nor do diamonds proclaim the genuine
lady.
Style More Than Etiquette.
style is more than mere etiquette.
1t is the real behavior. Some time ago
a young man came to me for recon-
mendation. | sent him TO a certain firm
in the city. A few days afterward
asked the head man of that firm il he
had hired my man. His reply was:
No, | did not like his style There
are men who are always polite enough
to tip their hats, but lift no burdens
from the worlds heart. There has
never been time when we were more
sorely in need OF good manners than
today After all, the man of Christian
character is the true gentleman any
where and every where. God, speak
ing 10 the Hebrews. said: For forty
years | have suffered your manners
made them an III natured crew.
The Chivalry Of Jesus.
Jesus was the best behaved OF all |
men. With Him there was no coarse |
treatment to the humblest or TO the |
lowest. He met the prodigal son rag
sed with sin. and said: You are made |
in the image of Cod He met the |
poor fallen woman and great mercy
drops, falling like rain upon her,
washed the little red hands clean. |
Become Christian. Join the new
order Of chivalry in Christ Jesus. our
Lord. Let your behavior, manners, and
style be becoming to a rea, man and
a real woman.

The following complimentary
article appeared ii a recent issue of
the TT. Worth Record concerning Hon.
VIM. L. Davidson. whose son. Mr.. T.
P. Davidson, Of Abilene. Texas, mar
ried Miss Aileen Gotten, daughter Of
the late Joseph A. Gotten Of this city:
Returns indicate the denomination
by sweeping majority Of the Hon.
William u. Davidson for the court of
criminal appeals. Judge Davidson is
the presiding judge of the court Of
criminal appeals and the last of the
Old Guard of Texas to continue in
high office in this state. He has
served four terms of six years and he
was appointed to the bench by one OF
the great governors OF other years
after he had rendered distinguished
service as assistant attorney general
before the court of which he has been
a shining ornament for almost a
third of a century.
He wore the gray in the war be-
ween the states. He was one of the
splendid soldiers who battled for the
lost cause and the flag of Lee. He
fought for Democracy in opposition
to military and carpetbag rule in re-
construction days and was one of the
gallant band that drove E. ]. Davis
and his followers from power and
gave the people of Texas representa-
tive government and the rule Of law
and order.
Governors may come and governors
may 90, factions triumph and factions
go down, senator's flourish and fall,
leaders direct and then disappear, but
this knightly soldier of the long ago,
ripe scholar, Chesterfieldian gentle
man. Southerner Of the old school and
Judge incorruptible and unafraid,
lives on and on in the service of the
people and ever loved by the people,
Able men have sought to displace
him. political foemen have hurled
their javelins at his commanding
form, virulent critics in other days
lampooned and harassed him, but out
of the conflict he ever came smiling
undefeated and ever lordly in his
bearings. his department, his lang
uage and his conduct.
1t is something to serve the people
of Texas all these years. It is a
proud distinction to be called for the
fifth or the sixth time to one Of the
state courts of last resort Of this inn
perial commonwealth.
