JJU XXXII, No. 22
Fifth Sunday Meeting Well
Attended.
^ „
Quite a number of people were
in attendance on the Fifth Sun-
day meeting held at the Baptist
church. The district was well
represented by delegates and the
meetings were well attended by
the local people. The largest at-
tendance was on Sunday morn-
ing when Dr. J. D. Sandefer of
Abilene delivered an address on
Christian education. He said,
among other things, that relig-
ion and education are co-work-
ers, that government is based
on religion, and that history re-
veals the necessity of ;i nation
fostering religion, that as the
people of the older nations be-
came irreligious they grew weak-
er and soon decayed.
Dr. Sandefer also spoke in the
afternoon. The meeting closed
at night with a sermon by Rev.
Goodman.
Building Permits Granted
There have been several thous-
and dollars in building permits
granted in Albany recently. We
have not tried to figure it up so
as to give an exact estimate, but
observe that it runs pretty high.
The new depot building is going
right up and will mean a good
sized investment by the M. K.
T. Ry. in Albany,
Besides this, there are a num-
ber of other buildings just com-
pleted or under process of con-

All this building indicates
i something of the prosperity in1

ship in our attractive little com-
munity. T. .1. Royal is rebuild

the varied program of attractive
numbers, entertained the large
audience and proved the skill

Considering the comparatively
short period through which Miss
Clark has received instruction,
her progress has been remark-
able, and her friends bespeak
for her a brilliant future in the
musical world.
Interesting readings by Mrs.
Duke of Abilene and Miss Me-

entertainment.

proved to be dainty gifts for the
honor guest, tokens of love and
appreciation from her friends.
Punch and cake was the pleas-
ant refreshment service.
Rev. 0. P. Clark.
Rev. O. P. Clark left for Clar-
endon Monday to attend the
Methodist Conference. He
preached his farewell sermon in
Albany Sunday and expects to
move to his new charge as soon
as the conference is over. While
he does not know where he will
be sent, he knows that he will
have, to leave Albany for he has
been here the limit prescribed by
the laws of the Methodist church.
Rev. Clark has been very suc-
cessful while in Albany, having
built the local congregation up
considerably and effected a very
thoro organization of it. He was
also largely or mainly responsi-
ble for the handsome new church
building which the congregation
is now enjoying. He will be able
to leave Albany, therefore, with
the satisfaction of having done
a good work in the town and for
his church.

Mr. Henry Clews of Board
Street, New York, Treasure of
the Dollar Christmas Fund for
Destitute Belgians acknowledges
the receipt of a first installment
of $4,000 in answer to his second
annual appeal.
Scores of letters bear testimoy
to the wave of sympathy aroused
by the sufferings and death of
Miss Cavell the heroic nurse and
the increasing desire to alleviate
the lot of noncombatants in
Belgium. The subscriber wrote
"Last year 1 gave the Fund
twenty-five dollars. This year
after reading of Miss CavelPs
last hour on earth I subscribe
fifty dollars." Mr. Clews points
out that the conditions in Bel-
gium grow worse as winter ap-
proaches and renews his appeal
for donations which should be
addressed to him as Treasurer at
15 Broad St., New York.
! The Secretary of the Fund,
Percy Bullen, GO Broadway, New
York is authorized to send collect-
ing sheets to all responsible
persons. Sir Johnston Forbes-
Robertson now touring Southern
States will give a performance
of Hamlet in aid of the Dollar
Christmas Fund while Messrs.

Burton now producing Bernard
SHaw's Androcles and the Lion
have promised the proceeds of
two matinees.
