SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
(Continued from page 1)
10 or 12 in number, with badges
pinned on their breasts with the
following inscription “S. S. Re
ception Committee” and who lit
erally captured us, baggage and
all, about 135 in number, and com
manded us to stand until the street
cars could arrive to convey us to
the beautiful and commodious
Christian church which had been
generously tendered to the State
Sunday School Convention by its
noble pastor, the auditorum of
which would seat 1,500 people
with plenty of basement room for
the reception and assignment com
mittees and for all committees of
the great convention with tables
and stationary for use.
After we had enrolled we were
conducted to the assignment com
rnittee’s desk where we found that
big hearted Christian gentleman
Hon. A. A. McDonald, prosecut
ing attorney of the Fort Smith
district, assisted by that genial
Christian gentleman, Bro. Wilson,
who by the way, gave $50 to the
Sunday school work of the state
when the collection was called
later on in the sesion, ready to
assign us to our homes which they
proceeded to do as rapidly as
possible. We were then taken
charge of by messenger boys and
conveyed, on street cars and in
buggies, to our many pleasant
homes, where every courtesy and
hospitality was shown us that heart
could wish. And as we had been on
the train almost all day and were
both tired and hungry, you can
imagine what took place when
supper was announced.
If this article should escape the
waste basket I may give you some
of the doings of the great State
Sunday School Convention
through the columns of the noble
Journal. Your very truly,
W. R. Rick.

Look on the bright side. It is the
right side. The times may be hard,
but it will make them no easier to

courage to men. What if things
do look a little dark' The lane
will turn, and the night will end
in broad daylight.

AN OPEN SECRET
DO YOU ADMIRE THE LADY WITH
PRETTY FEET?
f
If you are a gentleman, we know what your answer
will be to the above question. But what is a pretty foot?
If we see a lady with a pretty shoe, which fits, we know
that her foot is pretty, and it does not depend at all upon
the size. A good, healthy, well balanced foot, properly
shaped, is, certainly prettier than a pinched shoe, run
down at the heel and spread out at the ball. The only
way to get a shoe which will hold its shape and add to
the natural beauty of the foot, is to buy a Courtney, be
cause all Courtney shoes are made double at the toes and
will keep their shape twice as long as the ordinary shoe
which has had the leather cut from under the tip.
