' DON’T GO TOGETHER.
A glance at thejirraj of mm-|
isters, many of thefo with live-
ly chiseled features, ample fore-
heads, well cht mouthes and
flashing eyes, would suggest a
query: Why is it that more
results, and better results do
not flow from their efforts? And
when it is further considered
that they of the Methodist per-
suasion are not half the- minis-
ters in the given area, it look s
stilt more strange that so little
progress is made toward storm-
ing the citadel of the devil. It
is not illogolical to generalize
from examples. Juding from
tile efforts made in Temple, we
would conclude that misdirect-
ed efforts are the chief cause. In
one pulpit the min-
ister will be scourging his
members, another is delving
into dead languages to estab-
lish the theory of the final per-
severance of the saints, another
is hammering on infant bap
tisra. Possibly one of the en-
tire number is making a bien-
nial attack on the evils of the
hour. As well expect a magnifi-
cent army to win a battle by let-
ting each man select some tar-
get and practice on that. Usu
ally such themes are selected
as will give little offense to the
best paying members, and when
attacks are made on the beset-
ting sins of a community they
are so broad, so general, so
beautifully indefinite that no
one, however offending, will
take any of the abuse to him-
self. Again, each denomina-
tion spends half its time tight
lug for what it concedes to be
a non essential to salvation and
only a church rite, and pro-
duces the impression on the
world, and a very true one too,
that the most essential point is
to get ’em into “our” church
the University. No one went to
sleep under him. We have heard a
good deaf-bf complaint this y€9r
about the low class of entertain-
ments given in Temple. Whether
this ia^rue or pot^t ia the duty of i
every pobd cniaem of Temple to
show that his actions are as good as
his words ifhdb .it comes ‘to reform.
If your cimmittee cant get a better
backing from the people of Temple
than greeted Prof Norman, we shall
be compelled to drop these lectures.
We are short $5.60 on expenses of
last lecture. Your committee will
make a tour of the city this week
and endeavor to collect sufficient
unds to defray expenses of the en-
tire course. The Texas Academy of
Science, of which Dr. Hoisted is
president furnishes these lectures
ree of charge, all being asked of us
being rail road expenses and hotel
bill. Yours truly,
W. Goodrich Jones,
Chairman.

DR. HALSTED’S LETTR.
I shall be very happy to endeavor
to instruct and entertain the pro-
gressive people of Temple on Friday
night, November 22nd 1895. The
subject will be: “Modern science,
its recent achievement, its immedi-
ate promise.” The address will not
be read, but will be delivered with-
out notes and interspersed with
amusing personal anecdotes, experi-
ences and adyentures.

a minister who does not recog
that he has in his flock paying
members who are notoriously
crooked and whose daily walk
is a travesty on their profession.
The churches know it, the
world knows it, the devout
Christians grow lukewarm, in-
active and apathetic, hence
wheu any effort is made toward
reform there is no one to work.

People often neglect their teeth thinking they
are too bail to receive attention and will cost
too much to have them attended to. No matter
how badly decayed. It always pays to have
them saved, and by using the less coetlier till-
ing materials the work can be done for much
less than is oft times estimated.

Another Lecture.
I have the following letter from
Prof G. B. Halsted Prof, of matba-
matics at the University ot Texas.
This letter is in reference to tlie
free lectures to be given this winter
under the auspices of the Board of
Trade. This lecture will take place
at the hall of the high school. No
reserved seats, everything free.
Those who missed the last lecture
by Prof. Norman missed a treat.
The attendance was very slim and
your committee felt discouraged,
but have decided to try once more.
Dr. Halsted is celebrated as a scien-
tist and one of the most distin-
guished at the same time amusing
lecturers in Texas. Dr. Halsted
