FOR CHILDREN
: A Special Service.
At the Presbyterian Church Fri
«day afternoon Rev. Frank Wright led
a dervice for children. Mr. Good led
the singing and Mrs. Brown accom
panied on the piano. The church
'was:given first to the children, while
grown people sat around the sides,
in the aisles and in the gallery. It
was indeed a beautiful and an in
spiring sight, that great congrega
tion of children, with their bright
faces, and bows of ribbon instead of
hats on the heads of the girls. Their
songs were sweet and appropriate
2180,
The preacher caught and held
their attention by first telling them
of his own childhood in Oklahoma.
His father was an educated Choctaw
and his mother a white woman. The
preacher somewhat resembles the new
Register of the United States Treas
ury,Gabe E. Parker, of Oklahoma,
who' is one-eighth Choctaw and
whose signature will hereafter ap
pear on Uncle Sam’s paper money.
Rev. Wright told the children
many interesting things about Indi
ans, and how, like most boys, he
lenged to ‘‘go west” and see the un
tamed savages on the plains, but his
father kept him in school and made
him study. He told of the sad condi
tion of women in primitive Indian
life and the cruelty and lack of con
sideration on the part of men toward
old women, and of their rough and
coarse behavior. He contrasted all
that with the changes for good
wrought by the refining effect of ed
ucation and Christianity. He told of
his experiences as a missionary
among the wild tribes in’ the far
west, illustrated the sign language of
gestures with the hands similar to
our own deaf-and-dumb letters made
with the hands. He also made a few
remarks in Indian dialects, which re
called the benumbing effect of un
known tongues upon human hearts.
If @ boy were lost in a forest full of
singing birds whose notes he had
never heard before, how his heart
would quicken with joy at the clear
note of a partridge, or even the
barsh cry of a blue jay, because that
‘would seem so like home.
The preacher then explained to the
chbfldren were invited to remain aft
the world to save them, and each one
must accept or reject him. He then
#ang a very sweet and earnest song,
“What Will You Do With Jesus¢”
After the formal address and songs
children were invited tr oemain aft
er the benediction for an inquiry
meeting in the Sunday school room.

MARIETTANS
It is said to be “lucky”, or a good
omen, for a girl to resemble her fa
ther and a boy his mother. This fact
occurred to us in thinking of two in
teresting members of a Marietta fam
ily—Miss Regina Elizabeth Rambo
and her brother, Marcellus. You need
not grin nor smile inwardly at this
assertion because it appears to you
that between this lovely girl and
her father there is little more resem
blance than there is between pink
and white blossoms in spring and
russet fruit on the same tree in Oc
tober. You thought Dr. Rambo was
joking when he laughingly boasted
that Regina was like her father—
but she really is.
As for Dr. Marcellus Rambon, he is
strikingly like his mother in ap
pearance, manner and disposition.
With all his refined gentleness and
quiet, reserved manners, however, he
is not effeminate, nor too good to be
true. He can fight, but understands
the better value of tact and diploma
cy, which all dentists and doctors,
not to mention surgeons and nurses,
find so necessary to success.
When he left New York for Brazil
to enter upon the practice of den
tistry in his native city of Rio de
Janeiro, he took with him on the
steamer five trunks of clothing,
household linen, towels, napkins,
sofa pillows, ete., for his personal
comfort, and sixteen boxes of den
tal supplies to be used in his profes
sional work. He bought by whole
sale, because that is the cheapest and
best way, and the more he has on
hand the longer it will last, But
when the customs inspector in Bra
zil saw that array of imported mer
chandise he informed Dr. Rambo the
amount of duty on the contents of
his boxes would be about $l,OOO in
gold.
Then the genial, sweet-voiced den
tist began to think how he could get
that sum reduced. In the first place,
having been born in Brazil and hav
ing renewed his acquaintance with
the language during his visits to his
uncle in Janeiro, he could easily
speak face to face with the officer
and give him good reasons why the
admission of dental supplies would
really be a boon to the country. So
convincing were the arguments of
Dr. Rambo in favor of benefiting
Brazil' with Yankee inventions and
devices that the Spanish official
agreed to allow the sixteen boxes to
enter port with only a nominal
amount of import tax. Thus was a
victory won by intelligence and tact.
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
By William T. Dumas.
Superintendent of Schools, Marietta,
Georgia, in the High Schoel Quar
terly.
Th’ almighty sun that floods the isles
And continents with glory
Upon no fairer region smiles
Than Georgia famed in story.
Where’er her sons in alien lands
Indulge the lust for roaming,
In fertile fields or desert sands,
Their hearts are still a-homing,
Chorus—
Oh, Georgia mine, dear native state,
From whom I would not sever,
Among her sisters strong and great,
God prosper her forever!
Hers is the oak, and hers the pine,
Clay heights and sandy reaches,
A border ruffled with the brine
That foams upon her beaches;
Hers are the shimmering ponds and
lakes
Wherein the trout are sleeping,
And hers the thickets and the brakes
Where sylvan life is creeping.
Her gtreamlets from their mountain
home
Descend with glad hosannas
To where her stately rivers roam
Across the broad Savannahs.
Oh, dear to me Ocmulgee's streain,
Oconee’s sweet wood thrushes;
And dearly do I love to dream
Where Chattahoochee rushes.
Her fields are fat with corn and
wine,
They billow with the cotton;
And foreign plants neglect to pine,
Their native climes forgotten.
Green things throughout the genial
year
In her rich soil are growing;
The subtile ear can almost hear
The horn of plenty blowing.
Born in response to human needs,
She struck from off the debtor,
And from the victim of the creeds,
Oppression’s galling fetter;
She rescued derelicts forlorn,
And waifs misfortune hounded;
In charity divinely born
Her commonwealth was founded.
Whate'er her wealth of laboring
mills,
Of flelds, or mines, or waters,
Best product of her plains and hills
Is her own sons and daughters.
Their deeds which signalize the years
On history’s page are glowing,
And still the blood of pioneers
Through later veins is flowing.
Why should we other regions seek
And with their glories dally,
When we can climb old Yonah's
peak
Or tread Nacoochee’s valley;
Or, half in pleasure, half in pain,
Behold in awe and wonder
Tallulah shake his hoary mane
And revel in his thunder?
If you should ask what country's
best,
Altho’ opinion varies,
I'd say the land from Mona's crest
Down to the sweet St. Marys;
And that is Georgia—Georgia mine;
And, like the stars that hover,
And, like the suns that o’er her shine,
I am her constant lover.
(May be sung to the tune of “Auld
Lang Syne."”)
