Merrell W. Johnson, of Paris, is a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
tion for congress in the fourth district.
Merrell, we believe, is one of the lads
who used to fight the democratic party
in Collin county under Clay Mack’s
banner. Clay and Merrell fought the
democratic nominees long befor George
Clark went astray in 1892.

A society of Christian Endeavor was
organized at the Christian church,
Pleasant Point, last Sunday evening,
Mr. Mason McPherson is president
and Miss Cooper, sectretary. Twelve
young people were ready to take the
pledge to strive to do what ever
Christ would like to have them do.
There are others who will unite with
the society before long. We wish them
abundant success. As has been said
before, the pledge does not contain
anything which is not contained in
our confession of Christ; therefore
Christians should not hesitate to take
it, but it is well to think ©f it soberly
and prayerfully before we subscribe to
it. Unless we do it trusting in the
Lord Jesus Christ for strength we will
■not be able to keep it.
A
The annual Christian Endeavor con-
ventions are wonderful events. At
the International convention at Bos-
ton, last year, there were at least 50,-
000 delegates. This year the cry is
“on to Washington,” and it is expect-
ed that no less than 60,000 Christians
of all denominations and from all
lands will meet in the Capital city in
July. The convention will last five
days and be addresed by and will hear
reports from workers in all the depart-
ments of C. E. work. Secretary Baer
says, “The Washington ’96 flag is the
finest one we have ever had. When
we combine the red, white and blue
we have the colors that appeal to all
our hearts.’ The flag is of red and
blue stripes, with a whit* star in the
center. Within this star is the fam-
ous C. E. monogram. It will be used
for decorative purposes and for souve-
nirs and is sure to arouse enthusiasm
wherever seen. A Chicago Endeavor
paper suggests that it be adopted as
the national banner for the Christian
citizenship movement.

Judge Edward Gray is a candidate
for congress. The judge is a gentle-
man of ability and integrity and is
sound on the financial question. He
is also a patient man, for he takes
time to demolish one Jack Lemmon, a
citizen of Ellis county, who belongs to
the rip-hurrah-bully-boy gang and
takes his stock in trade second hand-
ed. Jack is one of those obscure
freaks that the Dallas News discovers
and “interviews” when it wants to
prove that things are going its way.
Judge Gray wasted good shot on small
game.

as best I can if the correspondents
will allow me to become a member of
their band.

Mr. Kleberg was nominated in the

leg on each side of the financial issue
and doesn’t mean anything definite.

to apologize for Mr. Bayard by saying
that he is a born aristocrat. Thisis
no excuse for Bayard’s folly. A born
aristocrat is entitled to no more
privileges than any other American
citizen.

How T ings Have improved.
There was a time, and it was not so
very long ago, when grown people
could not travel in safety. Such are
the conveniences and safeguards of
modern railway equipment that a
child can go from one end of the land
to the other unaccompanied. There
came through on the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas railway, on the Katy Flyer,
the other night, a little fellow not
more than five years of age who was
going to New York to meet his moth-
er. The little fellow was armed with
a letter to all conductors explaining
his loneliness, and it was cheeiing to
see the efforts made to amuse and
care for him. Somehow or other ev-
erybody heard the boy’s story. His
mother had been sick in a New York
hospital and after many weeks the joy-
ful news had come that she was con-
valescent and he was going to see her
and surprise her. They all tried to
kill time for him, from the old gray-
headed man who was kicking because
it was raining, to the porter in the
sleeping car. When the time came
to change cars there were willing
hands to carry his satchels; when the
dinner station was reached, although
the youngster’s purse was heavy, a
dozen hands went down to foot the
bill, and in the dead of night the old
fellow who had complained of the
weather interrupted a poker game
long enough to inquire of the porter:
“Is the kid asleep?” And when told
that the boy was all right, the old man
handed the darkey something that was
not a tobacco tag and said: “Well,
you look after him all the way to St.
Louis.” To make a long story short,
the boy arrived in New York and he
had almost as mucn money when he
arrived as when he started. He had a
good time and the Katy people have a
telegram announcing his arrival,which
makes them all feel good.—Dallas
News.

Next Sunday evening the Christian
Endeavorers will prayerfully consider
the question, “Things that keep us
from God,” proverbs 6, 16-19; 8,13-17.
God is our Heavenly Father and re-
peatedly invites us to come to him.
“I love them that love me; and those
that seek me early shall find me.”
But our evil deeds, our evil thoughts,
our pride and our eyil desires hinder
us from finding him, Sometimes we
hear people say “I would be a Chris-
tian and follow God but those around
me are so wicked it isn’t any use to
try.” That is shifting the blame
from their own shoulders on to some
one else. Our following God does not
depend on our surroundings but on
ourselves. We are the responsible
ones and the ones God will hold ac-
countable if we do not follow him.
We are more hindered by the foes
within us than by the foes without us.
But every one should be careful to
help and not to hinder others.

The plan of appointing leaders sev-
eral weeks in advance is a good one as
it gives the leader more time for prep-
aration and makes leading the meet-
ing seem a more important duty. It
helps the prayer meeting committee ar-
range for the meetings more syste-
matically, thus lessening the chances
that the leader will be absent from
any meeting. The following have
been appointed leaders for April in
Christian Church, C. E. March 29,
