she was probably the organizer of
the first ChrUiUan Endeavor Society in
Texas, because of her remarkable
pioneer service among the prisoners
In Jails and penitentiaries, of her in-
fluence in Inaugurating slate provision
for the care of delinquent boys and
girls, because of her Constant and wise
counsel to the younger leaders In the
Texas Christian Endeavor Union, and
because of her fully ripened Christian
character exemplified in her local and
_ state-v4de aervice as well as
womanly virtues manifested in
personal relationships. Because
lived the Christian life and inspired
others to do it, we honor her and
pledge ourselves to Christ and imitate
her example.

The Chrlsltlan Endeavorers of Tex-
as assembled In annual convention al
Houston hereby express a deep sense
of loss in missing from our midst Mrs.
L. T. Sloan, of Liberty. Texas, who,
since the first of these conventions,
has seldom been absent in body and
never absent in influence and indirect
counsel, and who even since her home-
going still remains in the lives of many,
a' potential influence.
We delight to honor her because
the station and the truck, evidently
believing they had more room, was
crossing without warning, immediately
in front of the engine, which stopped
within ben feet after the accident.
Morris was taken immediately to the
office of Dr. W. H. Davis, who, as-
sisted by Drs. F. L. Harvey, J. D. Col-
lins and J S. McKissick, gave him
every first aid attention possible,
had a number of deep cuts 4moul his
head and face, principally from the
broken bottles caught with him, and
his head had several very severe con-
tusions. He was rushed to the St.
Joseph’s infirmary in the ambulance
of Hugh Moore, undertaker, of Ar-
lington accompanied by his nephew,
C. H. Richardson. The doctors state
he has a fighting chance for reoovery.
Later reports bring the gratifying
news that Mr. Morris is much better
and will recover, altho not yet fully
conscious.
Mr. Lazenby, of the bottling com-
pany came over and found the dam-
age to the truck to be very slight.

When they came to visit Mr. Crockett,

The Journal is <lad to be able to say
this in way of instruction and as an

opinion, we expect to take the young
people of our household again as they
chnr\-c their program. Their amuse-
ments Include the tradition^) Hobby-
Horse. a good, safe ferris wheel; they
also have a man and hla wife who are
expert glass blowers and spinners and
make attractive ornaments and their
prices are reasonable on all things.

Next Sunday, July 1st., at the eleven

“The Early Surrender of Your Life
to Christ.’’
The service will close at 11:50,
after which there will be babtizing.
Brother Gustavus urges every father

Munday evening, about 10 o'clock,
while the family were away taking in
Hie carnival, the fire-whistle shrieked
•nit Hie Third Ward. But it took no
whistle to locate where Hie fire was,
f r Hie flames were already bursting
from Hie roof It was one of the
luiekesl fires Arlington ever had. The
firemen and citizens hurried to the
scene, lint It was impossible to do
anything towards saving the house, the
flames had gotten such a headway.
But tlie citizens rustfed in and saved
almost everything, only the kitchen
range and cabinet, and a few other
things being lost—excepted the usual
breakage from excited handling.
The family left no sort of fire nor
light when they left home, and can ac-
count for the fire only through incen-
diarism. Many spectators aver they
smelled in the smoke gasoline or kero-
sene. The family say they kept neither
ahout the place. Fortunately, there
was only a very light breeze and this
was from the south and blew the heat
up Center avenue, and all other houses
were at a safe distance and no damage
was done beyond burning oft paint
from nearby houses on the west side
Ou rreadern who desire "that the
Trinity River flow pure for the benefit
of man and beast, should file com-
^tainta with the Slate Board of Health
QR Austin, as early as possible.
?? In this cofnplaint, stale specifically
the nature of the damage, whether
on account of stock water or from a
health standpoint Also If trucking is
rendered unprofitable or if fish are
destroyed In short, if you suffer any
