W. b. Thompson, pastor of the First

ces of which the meeting is being
held, had the large tent stretched on
the McKinney High School campus
near the church, and amply seated. A
large congregation greeted the evan-
gelists at the opening service, but
last night many more were present
—perhaps a thousand people attend-
ing. Rev. Andrews la a strong
preacher and In his campaigns
sin gives no quarter, but goes for all
manner and forms of wickedness in
a rugged, sincere way that brooks
no compromise. His first sermons
were preliminary, devoted to the
work of marshaling the forces of the
church and arranging them for the
fray that is to be waged against un-
righteousness In McKinney. Hla
text at night was "Who is on the
Lord’s Side.” For an hoqr he held
his congregation by his philippics
hurled against the practices and
common sins of many professing
Christians.

MEETING NEAR BLUE RIDGE.
Rev. M. F. Wheeler Closes Revival—
Tent Badly Damaged.
For the past fifteen days we have
been engaged In a great meeting
with Pastor G. M. Cook at the Dixon
school house, three miles east of
Blue Ridge.
The meeting was in every way a
success. Although it was held dur-
ing the heart of crop time, the at-
tendance was large, and many peo-
ple turned to the Lord. This sec-
tion of the country has not had a re-
vival for the past eleven years and
unbelief has taken deep root, and
the enemy of souls made a daring
stand for the territory, but the spir-
it of Him who gave His life for sin-
ners triumphed most gloriously.
Twenty-six conversions, mostly
grown people, and of the choicest
kind. Seventeen were added to the
Blue Ridge church and more to fol-
low. $50 collection taken. My tent
was rent from top to bottom in sev-
eral places at four different times by
the wind. The good sisters would
Immediately make the repairs. The
Lord has some of the most faithful
and willing saints up there It, has ev-
er been my privilege to know.
Brethren I need a new tent, I
ought to be equipped. I must be
equipped. I know it means much
for the Kingdom of God. I need It
now. Some pieces of cloth a yard
square have been blown from the
tent. It Is rotten. As I passed
through Melissa enroute home, Bro.
Ed Gibson manifested great concern
about the matter, and said count on
him for $U>. I only need the cover,
posts are good. Many of you who

Oil the lady of the city
May hold her head on high,
Or feel a scornful pity
if I but pass her by.
#
She may lounge amid her cushions
And toy with her jeweled hands
She’d scorn to think of bushes
Or bare, gleaming sands.
With a coachman to do her bidding
And a footman by his side,
My lady Inside is sitting—
A beautiful bit of pride.
My hands, they are not Jeweled,
My arms are bare and brown
Yet many a horse they’ve ruled
And many a lariat thrown.
’Mid threatening storms, I’ve ridden
O’er the prairies wild,
No servants to be bidden,
For I am Nature's child.
I’ve gathered together the cattle
And driven ’em home again,
I’ve heard the thunder rattle—
I’ve seen the naked plain.
Homeward I’ve been plunging,
RMing like one possessed,
The sky as black as a dungeon
Rut now home, help and rest.
Fair maid of the beautiful city,
Scorn me if you will,
There’s no sting in your pity
And envy's voice Is still.
Hearts are not my playthings,
flirtations not my code.
I'll not coquette with the "gay
things”
That come on every road.
You may look like dainty fairies
Tho’ I'm of a sturdier mold,
But I wouldn’t give the prairies
For ail of your piled-up gold!

The Story Y’ou Hear.
If you hear an unpleasant story
about an acquaintance, perhaps you
will not feel like keeping it to your-
self, even though you are not at all
sure that It is true. The chances
are that you will pass it along, im-
agining that you have freed yourself
from all responsibility if you explain
this Is only what you were told, and
that personally you know nothing
about the matter. Have you ever
noticed how soon all these little
qualifications are dropped out of a
story? Every "perhaps” and "may-
be” is lost by the second telling. "I
thought” soon becomes "I saw,” and
somebody’s careless guess is accepted
as bis positive statement. Since this
Is true, you can not escape any re-
sponsibility by saying that you heard
a certain report, but are not positive
as to Its truth. The results of re-
peating it are likely to be Just as
bad as If you pledged your honor for
its correctness in every point.
When you hear a doubtful story
which attacks somebody’s character,
set your lips together and resolve
that no word of this shall pass them.
If true it will be verified only too

Speech That is Floury.
"I love cake.” said Johnnie fes!-
ingly, leaving the Icing till the last.
"It's awful nice!”
"You should not say ‘love’ cake,'*
corrected his mother; "you should
say ‘like.’ And do not say 'awful;*
say ’very.’ And say ’good’ Instead of
‘nice.’ Now, see if you can repeat
the sentence correctly.
“I like cake,” repeated Johnnie,
dutifully; "It Is very good.”
"That’s better.”
“I know ma,” complained John-
nie, beginning on the Icing, "but it
sounds Just as If I was talking about
bread.”
