Half of the Entire

and that there are more than one bun

Sunday With our present attendance

if you please, it would la* terrible it
our population fell off to two hun
dred people. Why, bless your heart,
it's got so there's not enough people
at church | (l even have a choir an
average choir 101 l would hold the en
tire audience. We laymen say its the
preachers’ fault and it may he that
the preacher says it's the laymen's
fault anyway, so far as we've heard,
neither lias admitted any faults.
It used to he that you could go out
to eliurcli and find the pastor in a
scrap with the devil, at least talking
hack to him, hut now it's different,
'ton don't even hear 'em condemn card
playing, dancing or divorces. About
the only thing they harp on much is
lieker drinking just like they don’t
know that there ain’t no lieker. It's
true, we drank something the other
night that wasn’t water, hut old man
I!. M. Hose never would say it was
lieker and likewise, when you see us
out on the floor, you never would
swear 'hat we were dancing. There
fore. the only thing against us is that
what we drunk smells had and when
on the floor we hold a lady around
the waist instead id' by the arm.
We went up to the Methodist, church
Sunday morning and led the singing.
Had those people walking about, too.
It was right funny the way we caught
,Superintendent Vaughn napping. He
wanted just the men to sing a verse
and they did and did it well. We
then had Supt. Vaughn and Secretary
Dan Patrick to sing the next verse
with us as a triple. The difference lie
tween a triple and a trio is that you
listen to one and laugh at the othei —
even Billy Mann and Clifford Patrick,
two hard boiled school hoard members,
smiled when Clarence got up to sing
whatever it is that he doesn’t sing.
Sorry, hut it looks like we won’t he
invited up there any more on account
of this.

memher of Philadelphia church, of
which she was a faithful memher un
til her death. She was sick for only a
short period of time and everything
was doen for her that doctors, rela
tives and friends could do. Yet noth
ing did any good. It was God calling
her, was God and God alone who could
heal the suffering. She leaves to
mourn her deatli her husband, two
daughters and two sons and a host
of other relatives and many friends.
Dear parents weep no more, hut on

ter off she is than we are and live in
hope and trust to meet her in the

ducted hy Itev Young at 2 o’clock Fri

to each of the grieved ones.
A precious one from us is gone
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
That never can he filled.
