X Oh, 'twas the glorious Sabbath day, and worn with thought and

Forward I pressed, with happy friends who sought tht* house of

My heart Was glad, when thus I ^eft the World's bewildering road,
♦ Rejoicing as I went with those who went to worship Ood.
» Soon entering,—the rector rose,-^and then the multitude
X Arose, in adoration, and in the temple stood.
♦ Met youth, and age, and rich, and poor, all standing side by side,
And prayed to Him, by wnom our wants are bounteously supplied.
Now knelt to Him whose throne's oij high and yet who stoops to dwell
Down here with tho%e, who seek Hi# f^ce, in lowliest hut or cell,—
And H# whose glorh s far eitenfl beyond the ample sky.

"All angels sang, glory to God, and peace throughout the earth."
' Here is my Son, whom God hath called to sit on Zion's throne,"
"And who once died on Calvary, deserted and alone!"
Christ my dear Son, whom God hath raised triumphant from thy

He comes to you with grace and truth, not to destroy, but save,
Instinctive shall all nature bloom beneath his gentle reign,
Eden's so long-lost joy and peace shall visit earth airain!"
MEETING OF SOCIAL CLUBS
Little Miss Harlan Miller Enter
tains with a Birthday Party.
Yesterday afternoon at the home!
of her father, J. Houston Miller, 011 i
West Main street, Little Miss Har-,
lan Miller received a numlw of her'
little friends to a birthday party.
It was tlie· sixth anniversary of this
little iair maid with bright expres
sion and ■ eyes, and lovely earls,
with a possession of unusual bright
intellect and wit. AJany presents
were brought, many best wishes ex
tended for returns of this happy an
niversary. Singing, recitation», in
strumental music, cake-walks and
games were the pastimes of the
fleeting hours, and the refresh
ments, of which any quantity were
to be had, were highly enjoyed by
the lads and lassies.
The Twentieth Century Club was
charmingly entertained yesterday j
afternoon by Mrs. T. M. Kockett at j
her home on College street. Missj
Minnie Sims acted as teacher and |
the lesson was a thoroughly inter- !
esting one. Mrs. Leonard Kep-j
linger won the prize and was given
a very pretty hand-made handker
chief.
Miss Louise Skillern was hostess
yesterday fafternoon to the XIV
Club at her home on West Franklin
street. Beside the club members a
numbei of outside guests were pres
ent. Six games of whist were
played with vigor and interest, and
the club prize, a silver paper knife,
was won by Mrs. Brownlee Fer
guson. A course of dainty refresh
ments was served which was highly
•nijoyed by all present.
There is no ecotiomy in buying1 a
pair of cheap glasses, because they
are poorly fitted and you will soon
have to discard them any way, why
not come to us first and get better
glasses and have them properly ad
justed. Our optical department can
not bo surpassed in Texas and we
guarantee a lit. Ross Jewelry Co.,

The Power of Print.
A newspaper whose columns over
flow with ads of business men has
more influence in attracting atten
tion to and building up a city or
town than any other agency that
. can be employed. Capital and laboi
will locate where there is an'enter
prising community. No power on
earth is so strong to build up a town
' as a newspaper well patronized, and
i its power should be appreciated

Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeless.
Again a beautiful home scene has
been marred by the advent of Death.
There is a vacant chair at the fire
side, a plate unturned at the table,
and Mr. and Mrs. John Kennedy
and little Willie Fern miss the pa
tient, smiling face of mother and
grandmother, Mrs. Ε Π ζ a b e t li
Wheeless. Old age and childhood
possesses an Indescribable charm
when combined as they were in this
home, and the remembrance of il

road. Mrs. Wheeless had sufferer
much In life, but as is ever the cast
with a true christian she only be
came gentles and sweeter, her life
like a flower trampled and crushed
sent forth its fragrance more freely
She often expressed a wish to di<
without a lingering illness, ant
whet, the summons came "she laj
down to pleasant dreams." Shi
loved all nature and would nurse »
struggling little flower as a font
parent would care for her child
Her friends, remembering this, cov
ered her casket with her favorites
carnations, roses, lilies and ferns
It was a comfort to Mr. and Mrs
Kennedy to have the sad .pleaeun
of ministering to her and watchinj
with touching devotion the lamp ο

brightly through all eternity. Ε ν
