Greatness
Think truly, and thy thoughts
Shall the world’s famine feed;
Speak truly, and each word of thine
Shall be a fruitful seed;,
Live truly, and thy life shall be
A great and noble creed.

By A. A. Proctor
One by one the sands are flowing
One by one the momenta fall;
Some’re coming some are going,
Don’t strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each;
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn thou first what these
teach.

The Main Thing
We’re all blind untill we see
That in the human plan
Nothing is worth the making if
It does not make the man:.
Why build these cities glorious
If man unbu’lded goes?
In vain we. build the work unless
The builder also grows,

After a soul feast for tne mem
bership of the Baptist church and
their friends for ten days, the re
vival conducted by Rev. D. V, Ca
son, has closed.
Since the Baptist church has
been without a regular pastor for
several weeks, there were many
glad of an opportunity to worship
there again.
At the close of the services six
candidates for membership expe
rienced the sacred ordinance of
oapiism in the presence of a large
congregation.
The sermons attracted many
throughout the revival, Members
of the M. E, church and their pas
tor co-operated throughout the
series; and from start to finish the
music was excellent.
It was under the direction of
Mr. W. C. Underwood. Mieses
Mary Lou Stapleton and Mary Lois
Cowart presided at the twopianoe,
while Col. N. L. Stapleton with
cornet, end Mr. J. L. Underwood
on a violin, accompanied them.
