Those who attended tbs serv-
ices at the Methodist church
last Sunday, I feel sure, enjoy-
ed them all. The pastor
preached the best sermon, ac-
cording to my opinion, that he
has preached since he came
here. This Is in no sense strange,
as he had an audience that
would Inspire any preacher to
his beet. The house was com-
fortably filled, notwithstanding
the rather disagreeable day.
I wish our people would learn
that It Is a mighty fine thing
to attend the evening services.
The preacher needs a large au-
dience at the night service as
much as at the morning hour.

much, also.

You should have seen the antics,
of the entire household. Mrs.
Bowles and Mary thought that
they were not Involved In
any way with the calendar In
this birthday and that since
this fine grapefruit was a family
asset, that two birthdays a year
would not b# a bad thing. Well,
at any rate, we all are enjoying
some of the finest grapefruit

Delightful Program/
The recital In ths grammar
school auditorium Monday night
by Miss Mary Bowles’ expression
class was attended by a large
audience and was heartily en-
joyed, of the enthusiastic ap-
plause and heady encores could
be taken as an Indication of the
approval of those present. There
were two playlets, several read-
ings and songs, together with a
number of specials. The little
folk as well a*.t$e larger ones
did their parte weif-apd reflect-
ed credit upon themselves and
their teacher.
The Mullln orchestra, under
direction of Prof. Elliot, was one
of Che enjoyable features of the
entertainment and the presence
of a number of Mullln people
was highly appreciated by Miss
Bowles as well as the other mem-
bers of the audience.
