With only four exceptions in
tho past 26 years, the year 1913
1 was tho wettest in the recorded
history of Texas, and with only
six exceptions '.in that period it
was the ..coldest year tho State
has ever experienced since the
establishment of weather obser-
vation stations.
The mean temperature for tho
year amounted to 65.3 degrees.
The average precipitation for
State was 36.05 inches for the
entire year. This was 12 inches
in excess of the total average
rainfall for the Stat.- the pre.
ceding year.
These facts will be a portion
of interesting data being used
by the Houston Weather Bureau
in the cdmpilation of the annual
general weather summary for
the State of Texas for 19i3. ' The
summary will be ready for the
press within the next few days.
It will show, that tho most
striking features of the year's
record wer6 an Unusually warm
and dry midsummer and an
exceedingly wet fall that caused
Hoods ot several streams in
October and November and
culminated in the record break-
ing floods of December.

NUGGETS FROM THE MINE -
It takes' a" great heart to love
mankind.
.An ideal player reaches to-
ward God ana to man.
' Everything pales in comparis-
on with' the touch of a life.
It fs too part of our task to
regulate evil.
The compromise of truth means
sure and deserved ruin. 3
The tfible is the only book in
the world that can give us all the
light we need. '
We need a great deal of com-
mon sense permeated by a loving
forebeafance. - r
The pregnant thought in the
christian w grid tqday is, . the
supremacy of Christ.
The constitution of the divine
Kingdom is not subject to
amendments.
There never has been philant-
hrophy and social conscience save
where the church has paved the
way.'
The glory of Christianity is the
blendings of Justice and Mercy,
So the. glory of the church is in
the blending of unity and free-
dom. The largest difference there is
between men is, the way of look-
ing on life and opportunity.
-The common habit of looking
at everything as it concerns our
own interests alone narrows 'life
and makes ic petty where it ought
to be great. .
We learn mere by associating
with Deople. and seeing wjth our
own eyes what they do, than by
listening to precepts or reading
books.
