ION CARNIVAL
The Third Annual Cotton Car-
nival, lo be heLtl in Galveston
from July 29th to August 14th,
is to by t'ar surpass in interest
and attractiveness the two pre-
ceding expositions. The first
and second Galveston Cotton Car-
nivals were patronized liberally
by thousands of Texans from all
parts of the state, as well as
great numbers of visitors from
Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma
and other contiguous states. The
universal expression of opinion
of these visitors, a shown through
hundreds of brie! newspapers in-
terviews, was that the Galveston
Cotton Carnival as an institution
stood unique among expositions.
To make it of greater general in-
terest, to. combine intelligent in-
struction with that interest, is
the aim of dozens of the bright-
est business minds in Galveston.
The grounds upon which the
Carnival is to be given will be
more attractive than ever. They
are within less than five ihinutes
walk from the new million dollar
Hotel Galvez, within a few steps
of the seawall and the unsurpass-
ed surf on Galveston's famous
beach, swept constantly by the
continuous south breeze from the
Gulf of Mexico. It is 'safe to
say that there are no exposition
grounds in Texas better adapted
to give comfort to the visitors.^
Many and varied entertain^
ment features have been planned!
by the management of the Carl
nival. Aeroplane flights, three
days of continuous automobile raj
ing on the Galveston beach, d'onl
eluding with a thrilling hundred]
and fifty mile contest open to
all machines, amateur sports i*
which well-known Southern ath-
letes will compete, poultry and
pet stock show, magnifieant har-
bor parade of decorated yachts on
the best harbor in the Southwest,
parades in which four thousand
United States regular infantry-
men will be in line, a civic pa-
rade of elaborate floats, the mys-
terious night parade of the
shrouded order of the K. K. K.—
Ith^searebut few of the attrac-
the management are
niwfr preparing in all details!

MICHA'S VISION OE
' UNIVERSAL PEACE
Out o£ Christ, there is noplace
there is no pence to the wieked
saith our*God. The wicked are
like the troubled sea, when it can
not rest, constantly casting up
mire and. dirt. Christ is our
peace; Christ said in me ye shall
have peace^. Ut in the wocldi tri-
bulation but Be of good cheer,for
I have overcome the world. *
Melchizdek, in Abraham's time
was a type of Christ; he was
king of Shlem, which was b<y in-
terpretation. king of peace, and
he wa* called by the prophet,
Isiah the- prince of peace. And
the angelic host who were with
the angel,, which announced the
birth of Chrisft said, peace oh
earth go«nd will to mem. and agiair
Christ with nnto his disciples,
Peace- ! leave with yew my peace
I give ntnto and' after his resur-
rection when he appeared unto
his dftserples he said peace be un-
to yen more than oaee.
This is the peace which passeth
all' understanding, Phil. 4, 7.
No pen could write the peace we
feel,
No tongue could tell the tale,
For the peace thats bromight
with Jesus' blood,
Can o'er the grave prevail.
Sister J. W. Nash.
