Good Friday. Services 10 a.
m. and 12 m. to 3 p. m. ‘ The
Three Hours” consist of a series
of services and people are at lib-
erty to come and go at any time
necessity may demand, but it is
strongly recommended that one
stay for the three hours as in
that way the service will mean
so much more. M any persons
not members of this congrega-
tion will no doubt, want to take
advantage of this service, for
Easter Day is meaningless with-
out Good Frday.
Easter Day. Services at 7:30
a. m. and 11 a- m. Church school
at 10 a. m- Memoers of the
church school will bring their
Easter offerings.
The general public is cordially
invited to all serviced.
' the receding world he heard the, j
great waves breaking on a fu-
ture shore, and felt already upon ;
his wasted brow, the breath of
the eternal morning.”
There are practical books too,
which will help us through
whatever calling we may choose
to follow. I happen to know
about three of these books: the
“Southern Gardeners Practical
Manual,” by J. S. Newman;
“Vegetable Gardening,” by R. I
L. Watts, and “Vegetable Forc-
ing” by the same author. The
last named is an intensely inter-
esting book. I heard about it
before its publication, asked the
publishers for the first copy is-
sued and autographed by the
author. It is an illustrated ex-
position of al! methods employ-
ed in hastening and advancing
the season of vegetables. This |
knowledge can be most profitab-1 H
)y used in our latitude, and with
ever increasing interest as we __
gain in experience; add the nec- j
essary modifications to fit our
climate, and our own original '!}
ideas and improvements.

SURGEONS agree that in cases
of Cuts. Burns, Bruises, Wounds,
the FIRST TREATMENT is most
important.. When an efficient an-
tiseptic is applied promptly, there
is no danger of infection and the
wounds begin to heal a once. Fo.
use on man or beast, BOROZONE
is the idea; antiseptic end healing
agent. Buy it now and be ready
for an emergency. Sold by Gem

Why conversation? Well, for 1
one reason, it is less formal.
Some might want to call it an
address, or an essay, or a dis-
course or (worst of all) an ill
concealed effort to offer advice.
Why is it that we hate to take
advice, when it is nearly always
well intended and good for us to
follow? Is it because we want to
be bad, and have a vague idea
that if we listen to advice and

that one thing This power of
putting the mind on anything and
ke ping it there for hours at a
time takes practice, and it takes
a long while tx> get into the
habit.” That word "power” as
used by Mr. Edison is tremen-
dously important, if you are not
very familiar with its definition,
look it up in the dictionary.
I just learned recently that
the Alvin High School has a li
brary of some five hundred
books. What a fine thing tha1
must be When I went to schoo1,
the only book we had in the school
beside the text books was a dic-
tionary. I acquired the habit of
reading looks when nine years
of age, and remember how proud
I was when I finished my first
book. The Presbyterian Sun-
day school had a library of about
three hundred books, and I read
every one of them before I was
fifteen years old. The "Youth’s
Companion” was a favorite
paper of mine and I read it now
with as much interest as ever,
because I know that any facts
which are stated in that publi
cation hate been very carefully
investigated, and are known to
be correct, as far as it is human
ly possible to know Beside
this, the language used is al-
ways plain, forceful, and Some-1
times very beautiful. One of|
the finest “gems of literature”!
I ever ran across was printed
in the Youth’s companion about,
fifteen years ago, and I com-,
mitted it to memory. It was
what might be termed an elegy
in prose, by Thomas B. Reed,
delivered at the funeral cere-
monies of President Garfield who
died at Elberon, N. J. The
closing sentences follow: “With

A ONE-SIDED CONVERSATION BE- to the cooling breeze, he looked
TWEEN THE SCHOOL STUDENTS out wistfully upon the ocean’s
OF THE ALVIN SCHOOLS AND I changing wonders; on its far
C. W. BENSON sails, whitening in the morning
light: on its restless waves, rc’..-
shoreward, to break and die be-
neath the noonday sun; on the
red clouds of evening, arching
low to the horizon: on the se-
rene and shining pathway of the
stars. Let us think that his
dying eyes read a mystic mean-'
ing, which only the wrapt and!
parting soul may know. Let!
us believe, that in the silence of!
'the receding world he heard the)
heed it, it is very apt to block If I
our wild west notions?
If there was anything I used
to dread when I went to school,
it was an “address” by some
long-faced old duffer with a silk
hat and cotton umbrella, for we
knew just what was coming,
and we always got it right where
we deserved it. Now, I am not
a long faced old duffer; I am
“one of the boys,” and a stu-
dent too, like yourselves. I never
graduated from a school, so I
will have to keep on studying all
my life, at least I want to. And
I will prove that I am one of the
boys in sober truth if you force
me to it, for 1 am willing to of-
fer a challenge to any boy of any
age that I can take a base ball
and bat and do just as good a
job of “fungo” hitting today, as
anyone in our schools; and have
as much fun out of it-
Well, just to keep the conver-
sation a little, I want to tell you
something I learned only a few
months ago, and I learned it by
heart too, and think about it a
dozen times a day. You can
easily commit it to memory, and
then if you will practice it, it
will continue to benefit you
through life. About a year ago
a reporter from some publication
was sent on a special mission to
visit Thomas A. Edison, the in-
ventor and scientist, and to ask
hitn to say something in a few
words for publication, something
which he had followed himself
and which had been a factor in
his own success, and would, in
his opinion, help a larger num
ber of people than anything
else he could say. Here is his
answer--“Whenever you set out
to do anything never let any-
Editor of Alvin Sun
The suggestion pvt forth by
someone in your pap?r recently,
that the memorial lor our sol-
shoudiers Id, or couk, be a pub-
lic library very properly, is an
unusually good one, in my opin-
ion. Recall what the poet says:
“Can storied urn, or animated buei.
Rack to its mansion call the feeling breath
Can honor’* voice provoke th« silent du»t
Or flattery Hoothe the dull.col ear of death?”
But what more beautiful, more
worthy or morelastirg memorial
can we think of, especially for
heroes who died in Freedom’s
name than a whole community
deriving the blessing and up-
lifting influence of a free public
library? At least, such is the
humble opinion of
