Ennis has the opportunity Just
now TO take rank as super religious
town.

progress here all at the same time.
Prominent evangilistic preachers
have been imported and judging
from daily reports they are waking
the people up to new visions OF per-
sonal responsibility and the fear OF
torrents for prevailing snfulness.
The people are flocking to the
Sanctuaries and other places of en-
tertainment for an hour every day
and then those who don't care to go
TO the movies are go early TO bed, go
out In numbers to the night services,
when not at church the ladies are
looking after Social Amenities and the
men folks busy them selves In the
usual ways and state in lot sales in
a new town addition.
In this simultaneous drive against

This home is the pride OF all Texas
Odd Fellows.
Three large buildings are used
for living and sleeping rooms. kitch-
en- dining hall work room for the

room and auditorium for educational

not glad q pas LIS small assessment
to mainta'l the good work.
Just TO give you some idea of
what it costs to feed these people,
report OF superintendent Hampton
shows that they use four sacks of
flour a day and 200 loaves Of bread
