FRIDAY, APRIL 5, l!)o7
When the newly elected city of
ficers are sworn in, there will not
tie a single saloon man or blind
ii*er man on the board of alder
for the first time perhaps in
the history of the town.
The Railway Age reports 11,912
miles of railway under construc
tion in the United States. The
JPaeitic states are building 2,866
miles of railway at present, the
Southwestern states 1,885 miles,
the Central Northern states 1,000, j
the gulf and Mississippi valley!
states 1,755 miles, the South At-'
lantic states 1.821 miles, the Mid
dle Atlantic states 296 miles and
New England 6 miles.
Did you ever stop to think that
•t is one thing to talk about people
mid quite another thing to have
•♦oople talk about you? If people j
who are in the habit of using their
tongues a little too freely about!
their neighbors, would stop and j
give the matter a moment’s serious j
reflection, and consider the evils•’
that are likely to result from too1
■ouch gossip and idle talking, there
would probably be less gossipping.

THE FIFTH SUNDAY MEETING
Mr. Editor, if you will -give
space in your valuable paper I
will give your readers a sketch of
the fifth Sunday meeting of the
Independence Missionary Baptist
assoication, which convened with
the church at Swaims Chapel,
three miles south of Salado. The
entire program was carried to a
letter except there were some ab
sent ministers, but their subjects
ajul AA A iMnMt4> 4*
were taken by others.
Friday night G. L. Fink preach-1
ed from the subject of Experi- j
mental Religion and any disbeliev- j
er could not doubt the reality of j
it after seeing the power of the |
Master so demonstrated at the ser !
vice by Christians rejoicing and j
sinners asking for mercy. Satur-j
day morning found a fairly good
attendance. The subject of con- !
tepti’P^nt was ably,-*discussed by j
Rev. Janies Puree 1 ley which was,
a great spiritual uplift to all pre- ;
sent. At eleven o’clock \Rev. |
Josiah Martin gave us one of ' the
crowning efforts of his life and at j
2 p. m., Rev. J. P. Lovelace por
tra.yed to our minds the necessity j
of preaching the Gospel in such
glowing terms that each one felt |
the responsibility. At 8 o’clock >
Rev. D. A. Allen with his ability
and the eloquence of a true ser
vant of God pleached on the sub
ject of Faith. The stand w7as
filled at night by Bro. Lovelace,
and Sunday at eleven Rev. James
Purcelley sounded the earth on the
way of Salvation. At two o’clock
by order of the church at Union j
Grove, Revs. D. A. Alien, James}
Purcelley, G. L. Fink, Josiah;
Martin and J. P. Lovelace were
asked to form a Presbytery and
Bro. E. C. Bryant was ordained
to the Gospel ministry. Rev.
Bryant preached at night. This
meeting was one of the best in the
history of the association. Many
hearts were made to rejoice on ac
count of the great spiritual feast
of good things presented and all
felt that it was good to be there.
The next meeting will be held
with the Pleasant Valley church
in June, G. L. F,
