ATTORNEY E. p. BLAkEMoRE
GIVES PLEASANT SURPRISE TO
HIS WIFE AND HER VISITING
COUSIN

There Is an element of thorough
ness about anything undertaken by
Counsellor e. z. Blakemore, and when
he started out last Monday to give a
surprise party in honor of his wife
and her cousin, Prof. Geo. Ellison of
Kansas City, Mo-, he left no stone un-
turned to make 1t an elegant affair.
About forty friends gathered at the
spacious Blakemore home at o'clock
Monday evening while the attorney
took Mrs Blakemore and Prof. Ellison
out for spin through the city parks.
Upon their return and just as they
mounted the steps, Prof. Geo. Morri-
son with the violin and Mrs. Desdo-
mona Weaver at the piano struck up
the soft strains of 1.-THE Rosary"
Both Mrs. Blakemore and her cousin,
whom she had never seen before,
were surprised beyond expression
when the lights were snapped on and
they beheld the jolly bunch on hand
to greet them. The music flowed on
amid handshakes, hearty laughter, un-
til late hour when the real surprise
of the evening took place. Under the
skilled supervision of Mrs. E. w. Jar
ret refreshments of rich and beauti-
full design were served. The ice cream
was moulded in floral emblems of al
most every description, from the state
ly lily to the naughty chrysanthemum.
Among those present were: FIR. III.
e, Rahming, his wife and mother;
Hon. and Mrs. Jos. d. D. Rivers, DIR.
and Mrs. Z. w. Abner, Prof and Mrs.
Geo. Morrison, Mr.. and Mrs. A. l..
Suggs, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w. Gross,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Jarret, Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. r. Contee, Mrs. Estella Robin
son, Mrs. Desdomona Weaver, Mrs.
Carrie McClain, Mrs. w. H. Thomas,

bama, Prof. Geo. Ellison of Kansas
City, Mr.. T. J. Bell, Prof. w. c. Cra-

CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH
NOTES
Rev. John Eliot Allen, Pastor. Resi-
dence, 2414 California Street

Last Sunday morning, Superintend-
ent People of the Sunday School was
on time and started the mill to grind
ing at 9 80 a. IN. The school was
largely attended, and the interest was
indeed very high. The result was one
conversion in the school. They will
have their annual outing at Rocky
Mountain lake, Wednesday, June p.
A very large crowd greeted the pas
tor at the IL o'clock service. Seemly
the very air at the morning service
was one of praise and worship. Morn
ing subject, Fellowship with Christ"
To say the least the subject was ham
died with ease and showed prepara-
ton, and the hearts of the hearers
were made glad and the amens could
be heard from all parts of the church.
At p. m. the International Order
of Twelve held their annual Thanks
giving service, the same being
preached by the pastor.
The lodge made a grand showing
and the meeting will go down in rec
ordS as one of the greatest that they
have ever had.
The reverend preached from the
text, "Greater Love Hath No Man
Than This, To Lay Down His Life for
His Friend" He being as It were
filled with the holy spirit, soon lifted
his audience to the heavens, and there
he showed them all the beauty and
grandeur of the glory world. 1t was
great sermon; one that those who
heard it will never forget.
Again at night a crowded house
greeted the pastor for the third time
that day. Subject, "The Power of the
Gospel" which was enjoyed by all.
Wednesday, Central and her 1egions
of friends will spend the day at Rocky
Mountain lake, and all kinds of good
things will be had to eat. Many Wis
itors worship with us Sunday and we
ask that they come again. A hearty
welcome for all. Hear Pastor Allen at
both services tomorrow.

DIR. J. H. p. WEsTsRook AND At
TORNEY S. e. CARY SPEAKERS
BEFORE STUDENTS CONFER
ENCE AT ESTES PARK

Our own DR.. Westbrook and Attor-
ney S. e. Cary served the race in a
useful capacity last week when they
delivered telling addresses before the
National Students Conference at Es-
tes Park. This is one of the most for
ward movements before the American
public and has been steadily growing
in number and power until it has
drawn students from a majority of the
large colleges in the country. In addi-
ton, the conference of this year had
representatives from Rio Janeiro
Buenos Aires, the Philippines and
from Hawaii. On the night assigned
for the addresses by our Denver rep
resentatives fully 500 students were in
attendance. So forceful was our cause
placed before this intellectual gather
ing that at the suggestion of Hon.
Raymond Robins, one of the nations
greatest civic leaders, the student body
endorsed resolution drawn up by Dr.
Westbrook and Mr.. Cary, favoring
federal enactment of an anti-lynching
measure. Mrs. Cary and Mrs. West
brook accompanied their husbands and
were interested spectators at this Won
derful meeting. We predict vast
deal of good will grow out of the
splendid contact thus given our group
by body who have no other means
of knowing our problems.
