his early manhood and settled in

Charity Rutherford of Mexia, Texas,

surviving, three boys and three girls,
Mrs. Frances Lashay, Mrs. Miokie
Record and Mrs. Lille higgins,

George, all living IN Dallas and were
at the bedside when the final end
came.
Rev. George was a useful servant
in his religious activities and became
more or less famous in carrying the
message to those unfortunate victims
confined in the County Jail.
Every Sunday he would preach to the
prisoners many of whom accepted
Christ as their Savior.
- 1t was his appealing messages that
brought Burl Oats, Rubber Robertson,
Ed Long, John Robinson and other
noted victims to the fold Of Christian
ty during their remaining days on
earth, and who later with their lives
paid the supreme penalty on the gall
lows as a remission for their crime.
Rev. George was a member of ST.
John Primitive Baptist Church and
striving him is wife, six children
and two brothers.
Funeral services were held Monday
evening at the above named church
at 2 o'clock. Burial was made in
Woodlawn Cemetery later in the af-

der Him He continued. Gods Call
is Universal, but He indiYidualizes
it. We have magnified the Call to
the Gospel ministry, but we have
little magnified to the other parts
of the great work of human life. 1t
should be the chief concern TO an
swer well, the answers of eve.
will be affirmative or negative, for
there can be no mid-answer to the
Call of God which repay we must
receive to decide our career in life,
herein lies the contrast in human
life-they are either like ships that
sail or ships that sink. Hear what
Carlysle says about life: Life Is a
little CLEAN of time between two
eternities; Goathe says that it Is
the childhood Of Immortality, and
some one has said that Life Is a
qucrry out of which we are to carve
character Life is journey, not a
home, a road, not a city of habita-
ton, and the enjoyments we have are
but little ends on the road of life
where we may be refreshed for a
moment that we may with new
strength press on toward the end"
Take these little illustrations, my
young friends, with you as you go
forth into the activity of life.
Gifts From Parents and Friends.
Many valuable gifts were given by
parents and friends of the graduates.
Money, watches, chains, fountain
pens, wearing apparels; one girl

Now it is hoped that each graduate
will enter some higher institution
of learning and make life worth
while

MISS MONA JESSIE vAULTZ GIVES
PIANO RECITAL.
Do You Know Our Artistsl II Is Time
We Were Learning Them.

Does Dallas know what talent her
citizens have, or does any one know
the real intelligent persons among
the black people, or do these peo-
pie know themselves? We know the
talent and power Of others, we adj
mire others, we talk of others,
we sing their praise, we laud them,
we admire them and this is right;
and now comes the times when
charity should occasionally begin at
home and at home with MISS Mona
Jessi Vaultz. l wish to speak of
her iigh musical ability as evinced
at the Evening Chapel Church last
Thursday evening in piano recital.
Had she been advertised as a speci-
alist and had been known that she
hailed from Russia or from Italy,
what a great treat everv one would
fancy he would miss should he not
be permitted to hear the artist. But
now comes Miss Vaultz of our own
city, with the powers Of entertaining
amusing, while manipulating the keys
of the piano deity like the masters
from across the seas and the artists
of the world wide fame. How sadly
would he have been disappointed
not to have heard the master.
This is being said TO say that the
real master was at the Chapel last
Thursdy evening when Miss Vault
gave the splendid piano recital going
through the gamut of the artist that
she is, and in the presentation Of
the master works of the most diff.
cult selections in her renditions
The piano was made to initiate the
muttering thunders, the raging bat.
tie of the god of war, the soft drip.
pings of the rain, the twitter Of the
sparrow. or the sweet and mellow
voices heard on the lake of lovers
! beneath the beaming moon and light
of the stars on fair night.
