BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES
A large audience, represent
ing nearly every churcli in Lub
bock, greeted our pastor last Sun
day morning.
His remarks were directed
chiefly to his own people and
Christians generally. He spoke
of ho each Christian had a
special work he or she could do,
sometimes aeemingly very insig
nificant but in God's sight just
as great and just as important as
that uerfomed by the more tal
ented and brilliant. He compar
ed each member to a stone in the
walls of the church agd ured
that tbev be "living stones" and
stand firm in their places that
th. walls of this great building
i
might not totter as they so onen , wn,,rw s, spend a few das

Mr. Stewart, who is advance

be in our city Friday and has
consented to run fifty views of
California in connection with the
operetta by the school children
Friday evening. This is quite a
valuable feature added to the

School Notes
We wish we might say or do
something to interest the
4 I r i if i
mothers in beautifying the!Hhle, self reliant
school premises and providing 1 They are required
playgrounds for the children. If
they could see the children
wadintr around in the sand, 1
know they would be willing to
assist in the good work.
The debate Friday evening
was verv
instructive. I he de-
balers studied the question verv
thoroughly, but the one speaker
lu.nnnlh. ..,rufi lUl .hill
was master of the situation andj
gave the liawauana islands
statehood.
Many thanks to Mesdames
Posey, Hunt. Taylor, Green.
Elliott and Simpson for their
presence at school, also their
words of encouragement.
We were agreeably surprised
Friday evening when Miss
Beard's Spanish class sang to us
in the original Spanish. "Learn
to do by doing," is the class
motto.
Miss Maude Bums, one of
our much loved teachers the
past year, visited us last week.
The members of the society
wonder why the critic criticised
the local reporter so favorably
and yet, failed to mention some,
other selections. We presume it
was his interest in German.
The many trees that are being
set out in Lubbock just now em
phasize the need of trees in the
school yard. There are six or
sevtn little trees a hundred
children to each tree and th
children spend about one-half of
their waking hours at the school!
If you have a small trie that
you do not need, send it to the
school with vour compliments or
let Mrs. Wester know and she
will send for it.

Texas a World Show Ground
It is said Texas is the show
ground of the universe. We
fitted out Buffalo Hill with his
unique array of primitive west
ern life and sent him out to
thrill the hearts of the rich and
the poor of both hemispheres.
We are now providing the
scenes for moving picture shows
and one cannot visit these popu
lar places of amusement any
where on the face of the earth
without coming in contact with
Texas frontier life.
We are the national preserves
for human character in its prim
itive state. On our ranches and
in the homes of our pioneers,
honesty, friendship and courage
abound in their nat've state un
tainted by the soot of civilization
and our iron tiers are populated
with stalwart, rugged charac
ters out of which great men are
hewn, presenting a panorama of
American life as it entered the
gates of civilization.

week. Miss Friedrich received
nomination this week and a nice
vote given her, but she refuses
to let her name appear in the
list of contestants. Miss Holes
is a new one in the race and it i
expected that she will reckon
with the winner in the final
contest. The Carlisle Sunday
School is still a leader for the
organ by a very large majority
! having gained something over
five thousand votes mis weeK,

heavy vote being held ouc for
the final dash for the second

that there will be a few more
organizations placed in the race
soon and they intimate that they
will make the winner hard to

Four Sections Sold
Wednesday morning Mr.
Harvey Herd, of Fort Worth,
bought of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Lowe, four sections of land in
the northwest part of the county.
We did not learn the considera
tion, but understand the price
paid was a big sum. These four
sections of land are excellent and
we are sure that Mr. Herd will
be more than well pleased with
his purchase.
Mrs. P. D. Haney Dead
Mrs. P. D. Haney, one of our
most highly esteemed ladies,

what hour the interment would
take place.
