no more.
Dr. Rice said that for the church

them just as Christ did.

In his discourse last night, Dr. Rice
drew many interesting lessons from
the personal ministry of Jesus Christ
and said that above all Jesus was an
optimist and was never ready to des-
pair. He said, however, that Jesus
felt disappointment at times at the do-
ings of the people to whom His min-
istry was sent and sometimes gave ex-
pression to the disappointment, as in
His lament over Jerusalem. There
never was a great leader, said Dr.
Rice, who had not at times felt dis-
appointment in the people and that,
therefore, Christ’s disappointment on
occasions was not exceptional. But, he
said, no man ever lived who had more
faith in humanity than did Jesus and
no other man ever penetrated so deep-
ly into human life as Jesus.
Indeed. Jesus was the great human
and in thus speaking of Him. Dr. Rice
said that he had no thought of ex-
pressing a doubt as to the divinity
of Jesus Christ. He said that Jesus
liked to be with men, that Jesus de-
sired to be called the son of man and
/7
that he had no knowledge of the ac-
cident.

While in Dallas, Oluff D. Beau-

asked the aviator if he would advise
young men to follow in his footsteps.
At that time Beachey did not have
tme to discuss the subject, but told
the aspirant for aviation honors that
he would write him later.
Testerday Beauchamp received a
letter in which the aviator said he
had a brother and another man work-
ing for him, both of whom hold
aviator pilots’ licnses in the Aero
Club of America, but still they are
employed in the capacity of mechan-
ics. In conclusion he says:

Colorado Commandery No. 4 is com-

In 1854 the Knights Templar Com-

About $175 in merchandise was

when his store at Manor was entered
by burglars. Entrance was gained by
the burglars prying open a rear win-

Two negroes endeavored to dispose
of some of the merchandise to a cit-

apprehension by the constable. A
search for the stolen goods resulted
in the finding in a cottonseed house

which was identified by Kpuri. One

that no cotton be raised on the State

RonIG, ocrosEE 27, 1014
Judging from the replies received
yesterday from the letters sent out to
the county judges by Representative
Humphrey of Throckmorton regaud-
ing the submission of the cotton acre-
age reduction question to the-people
on Nov. 8, sentiment is strongly in
favor of the proposition of submia-
sion. •
About twenty-five replies had been
received yesterday, and out of these
number only one. that of Judge J. T.
Ellis of Caldwell County, was abso-
lutely opposed to the submission of
the question to the people.
Mr. Humphrey stated yesterday that
definite announcement as to whether
the election will be called will be made
not later than Thursday night, as soon
as it is shown that sufficient interest
exists to warrant thia action. Ample
time will be given to have the ballots
printed and distributed before general
election day Tuesday, Nov. 8.

A new record in securing work for
the unemployed was established yes-
terday by the United Charities when
a needy couple applied for assistance
and was put on a train which carried
them to a home with a wealthy ranch-
er’s family within five hours from the
time they made their application. The
man is a mechanic and the woman is
a housekeeper and they were soon lo
cated with a family who bad recently
asked the Charities to recommend to
them such a couple. The secretary
stated that the farms and the ranches
in this section of the State furnish em-
ployment for a large number of the
needy applicants of the organization.
A. A. Grimes, a printer, residing at
108 Weft Fifth Street, was run into
and painfully but not seriously In-
jured at Sixth and Brazos Streets at
6:20 o’clock last night, by an auto-
mobile. The police took the number
of the car, which they allege was
driven hurriedly away, the driver not
waiting to see how badly Grimes was
hurt. No arrests have been made.
Grimes and V. R. Grooms, a friend,
were crossing Sixth Street, said
Grooms last night, when the auto
bore down upon them. The front
wheels of the machine brushed
Grooms, but he was not injured. He
called to Grimes to "look out," but
spoke tbo late. Before Grimes could
get out of the way the car struck
him, knocking him to the pavement.
Luckily he had the presence of mind
to roll out of the way before the car
could pass over his body. His Injury
consists of a scalp wound.
