who ess wear a white flower of
some kind fa honor of mother,
whether she be living or dead. The

the “Mother" sermon In anyone of

now seventy-six years old, lives in
Rutter, Indiana, with a daughter.

L don't believe , pjy a result of a fnental attitude, but
is it not possible that the husband has
I a- much keener sense of taste than his
i wife and therefore finds a greater plea-
| sure in eating? Perhaps if she could
find as much pleasure she would feel
differently about the matter. Perhaps,
but no one will ever know, because we
have no way of measuring each other’s
sensations.

be that we are not among them.

Evangelist Scoville last night deliver- I
ed a sermon entitled, “The Skeleton In
the Closet." And he made the bones rat-
tle, too, before he had finished. He took i
the big crowd right into the closet
with him, showed them the skeleton i
in the form of numerous sins, told
them that God can save them and God
only, and then closed. He talked for
forty-five minutes and had no trouble
in keeping the crowd interested.
\ Dog in Meeting.
Early in the sermon a dog became en-
tangled in the bunting that drapes the
choir Idft. The canine succeeded in get-
ting just under the edge of the loft
John Jenkins, tabenadc manager, fol-
lowed. In a moment the dog started
sending heavenward a series of doleful
yells which it spiced at intermittent
periods with awe-inspiring howls and
feverish yelps. The crowd broke into
a roar of laughter Scoville, however,
turned the situation readily, demon-
strating the skill that comes with years
of platform work.
“That dog,” he said with mock ser-
iousness, “doesn't belong to the choir,
I’ll tell you that." The crowd roared
and applauded. When peace had been
restored the preacher added that, the
Bible said “without their dogs."
But the feature of the evening came
in the form of Rev. Chas. M. Collins,
if the Central Presbyterian church, and
his delegation of residents from the
first and second districts of the city.
That is, of the districts into which
Denton has been divided for the cam-
paign
At. precisely 7:45 o'clock the delega-
tion. fully 400 strong, left the east door
of the court house and marched down
ttie street singing lustily, “Onward
Christian Soldiers." Slips bearing the
words of the song had been printed and
distributed among the marchers. People
on the sidewalks watched the process-
ion, at first in bewilderment, later in
admiration. A large crowd followed the
delegation tabernacleward. Each per-
son in the line wore a badge. At the
head of the procession two members
uf ttie C. I. A. faculty marched. One
carried a great American flag. The oth-
er the white flag and red cross.
Rev. Collins admitted at the taberna-
cle that he may have gone slightly
out of bounds in gathering his prece-
dent-establishing delegation, but insist-
ed that the end justified the means. He
had about a hundred students, possibly
more, from ttie C. I. A. He also boasted
of having President F. M. Bralley, of
the college, and several other faculty
members in line.
The delegation was
thusiastically
“glory-shed.”
“That sure is some delegation,”
chirped Scoville. 'Give ’em a cheer,”
tie demanded of the choir and crowd.
The evangelist was especially delight-
ed with the large number of students
present.
Ttie Offering.
The evangelist urged the people to
make the current expense offering as
large as possible each night. “We want
I to get this out of the way,” he said.
Rev. Mathieson. of the Christian church
made a short talk in which he said

“Lobo. Tex., May 29, 1916.
Dear Mamma and Papa:
"I am 4S6 miles from San Antonio
now. We left San Antonio Saturday,
May 27, at 1 f :30 a. m. arriving here at
11:00 a. m. Sunday We rode in a pull-
man car all the way. The Southern Pa-
cific Railroad runs through this little
town. There is nothing here but a big
ranch, the name of it is the Bar M, a
little depot and a pump station. There
are two houses anil a stock pen on the
ranch and a big three-story brick house
that is as big as the mode] school at
Denton and has a flat roof Sixteen sol-
diers are stationed on this house ail
the time and are fortified with sand
bags and two machine guns. There is
on** store here and ttie postoffice is in
the store. I
"There are big mountains all around
us in every direction and, believe me,
lhey are big ones They look like they
were about a mile away, but they are
from three to five to eight and ten
ni les away. The border is between 18
and 20 miles from this place. The Mexi-
cans can’t get to us without crossing
a chain of mountains and there are
about five of them to go over and they
sure are rough. No trees are to be seen
•‘xcept ttie ones alongside the railroad.
“Everybody has his gun loaded and
> arries a belt full of cartridges. We pa-
trol about a hundred yards on each
side of the camp and when anyone
passes have to say halt three times. If
they don't stop we have orders to
shoot.
"This is a healthy place It is 4,009
feet above the sea level and a few of
the fellows have had their nose to
bleed. These mountains are from 500
to 1,500 feet high and there are steep
cliffs uf sand rock and some of the
rocks are as big as the courthouse. :
"We all got sweaters this afternoon. ‘
They are square neck, three buttoned
and have two pockets. They would cost
anyone else besides a soldier $8. 1 have
all kinds of clothes, hats, leggins, shoes
and underwear. My underwear is wool. |
I have two hats, three pairs of pants,'
two coats, three shirts and everything
that I n£ed to wear. My socks are white
wool. I am not worried a bit. I fq^l fine }
So don’t worry." .
The remainder of the letter Requested
his parents to send him a number ot
articles he needed in camp life and told
of the cold nights and sultry days. He
requests his parents not to worry
about him as he will keep his eyes
open. Three things^ he especially wants
an* a razor, tobaceq and tooth brush.
Following is the list of articles: j
tiollar to get tobacco with, razor ,
bar of soap, two towels, ^having stick, •
writing tablet, packet envelopes, 25c •
worth of stamps and a
tooth brush.
A note on the Kick of the letter re- i
quested his parents to write soon and j
inquired as to a picture taken of him 1
while in soldier uniform. He closes
with. “Do yoii think J look like a sol-
dier?” 1
