OFFERS RESIGNATION
RRV. E. P. WKST HK\m LETTER
TO HIH (X)X<« HKGATK>X.
111k Pliyslcfans Advise Him That He
Must Take a Host Prom l*ub-
lir (Speaking.
Denieon, May 22.—At the close
of the services at the First Baptist
church last night, the pastor. U^v.
E. P. West, read his resignation,
which was placed In the hands of
the deacons for report ne^t Sunday.
The resignation was received with
genuine regret by every member, of
the congregation with whom Mr.
West has been very popular. The
cause of his action is acute throat
trouble which will prevent him
from speaking. Some months ago he
resigned but the church refused to
accept the tender and gave hint In-
stead a vacation of three months
during which time he was under
treatment of a skilled physician.
The trouble has not disappeared and
his physicians advise him thaj.
must cease public speaking.
Following is the letter of resigna-
tion:
Dear Friends—It is my painful
duty to inform you that 1 deem it
my duty to resign niy offiee as pan-
tor of your noble church. Yon
know that 1 have been suffering
front a throat trouble for several
months and have been unable to per-
form the duties of my high office
as they should be performed. You
have been generously and be-autlfui-
ly sympathetic and helpful in-tny af-
fliction, for which my heart gives
nr feigned thanks to (3od and un-
stinted praise to you. It is with su-
preme happiness that I say I have
received not even a remote sugges-
tion by word or deed front any mem-
ber of the church that it is your de-
sire to sever the pastoral relation
existing between you and pie. 1 am
moved to withdraw from you purely
out of consideration for the present
opportunities and future success of
your great church. I cannot be satis-
fied with the meager ministry I am
rendering, amid the great opportun-
ities and high demands that are
upon your church and 1 can do no
more work than ! have been doing
under the circumstances of a brok-
en down throat.
f '1111 deeply touched by your pa-
tience and the assurances of your
entire satlbfaction with my humble
ministry and your willingness to
have me do a minimum of work un-
til my throat is well. But your lov-
ing kindness and indulgence toward
me threatens to hold back your
church from the great destiny that
is before it and I am unable to get
niy heart's consent to allow to do
anything for me that will retard
your church in the least.
The thought of severing the ties
that bind me to you brings me un-
speakable pain. In the affection of
some of the men and wWmcn of, this
church I have experienced joy 'that
is deep and abiding. While I have
been you pastor but a short time,
yet we have known the true com-
radeship of fellow-soldiers of Christ
in the work and warfare of a cotn-
mon and glorious Master, and my
heart has become knit, with yours.
You will readily believe that nothing
in the world but an Imperious sense
pel and would be displeasing to my |
Master. 1 am expecting to go apart
for a season of quiet rest and medi-
tation uutU my throat Is in condition
to allow me to again take up the
work ot preaching the blessed gos-
pel. 1 earnestly ask you to pray that
1 may be speedily restored to
strength. If it may please and glorify
our liod.
It is my pyrpose, If you may so
desire, to remain with you through
the month of .June, I therefore ask
you to accept my resignation to take
effect July 1. 1911. May Ood bless
and lead you Is my earnest prayer.
Sincerely and fraternally yours,
E. P. WJRST.

BIG KATY IMPROVEMENT
IT IS PROPOSED TO SPEND
TWENTY-FIVE Mil.MONK.
In the Rebuilding Betterment and
Extension of its l.int^ North
of Denison.
he Denison, May 22.—The Missouri.
Kansas & Texas Railway company is
to spend a total of $25,000,000 in
the improvement of its line from
DentBon north to* Kansas City. Ex-
tensive betterments are In prospect.
The plans for the work Include
the double-tracking of a large por-
tion of the line in Oklahoma. How-
ever, the main line from Denison
north will be given the most atten-
tion. Double-tracking the main line
Is, necessary on account of the in-
creased traffic.
Eight thousand tons of steel have
been ordered from the Marlyand
Steel company for delivery late this
summer. The line is now double-
tracked from Denison nearly to Mc-
Alester and. as announced some time
since, the double track will be car-
ried to Parsons, Kan.
Considerable money will be spent
in improving the line from Parsons
to Kansas City, which will be
straightened and made practically an
air-line.
The work proposed is to be done j
by means of a bond-issue. The
company recently applied to the
Kansas State Railroad commission
for permission to make an issue of
$102,000,000. This was refused
hut an issue of $25,000,0«o was af-
terward sanctioned.
Trinity Revival
Denison, May , 22.—Postmaster
Scott Is endeavoring to get all pat-
rons of the office who have their
mall delivered to install boxes for
the carriers to deposit the mail in
Boxes facilitate the work of the car-
riers and benefit the patrons as well
The following letter has been sent
to- all the residents -who have not
provided boxes at their homes:
By direction of the postoffice de-
partment, the attention of patrons
cf this office is Invited to the ad-
vantages of providing facilities for
the receipt of their mall by erecting
conveniently accessible boxes or
rutting suitable slots in their doors.
Such action would enable the post-
master to give a prompter and bet-
ter delivery service with the means
at his disposal, since the carrier'
can cover much more territory in
less time if not compelled to wait
for an answer to their ring. Private
receptacles for mail are also a great
convenience to the householders, ob-
viating the necessity of responding
to the carrier's call at inconvenient
moments and permitting the safe
delivery of mlail in the absence of
members of the household. They
also prevent the occasional necessity
of a carrier's proceeding on his route
without delivering mail because or
failure to answer his, ring within »
reasonable time and enable him to
make deliveries to patrons living on
or near the end of the route at an
earlier hour. '
It has been shown by actual ex-
perience that the benefits derived
by patrons of city delivery from the
use of such receptacles far outweigh
the small expense Involved. As this
office Is interested in furnishing the
best possible service at the least
expense, your compliance with the
foregoing suggestions will be much
appreciated.
Denison, May 22.—The revival
services ut the Trinity M. E. church
were well attended yesterday and
unusual interest was shown in the
meetings. Rev. .1. VV. Tlncher spoke
in the morning on Abraham’s sacri-
fice of his son Isaac. Several were
added to the Church at the close of
this service. ,
At 2 o'clock Rev., Tlncher spoke
on “Influence." Tic addresses his
remarks more especially to young
people and children.
The church was packed at tlie
evening service when Rev. Tiqcher
delivered a masterful address on
"The Two Malefactors." The meet-
ings will continue throughout the
week.

The Indian's Vision.
More or ies* wonderful accounts have
from time to time been given of the
powers of vision possessed by savage
races. During a British anthropologi-
cal expedition to the Torres strait the
visual facility of the natives was care
fully tested, and from these tests the
conclusion was reached that the ex-
cellence of vision shown by the snv
ages Ims a psychological origin—that
is to say. It arises from knowing what
to look for. When the civilized man
acquires familiarity with the environ-
ment he can see as far ns they can.
Thus itie power of uii Indian to tell
the sex of a deer at such n distance
that distinguishing fen I urea like antlers
were Invisible was found m rest upon
tils knowledge of the peculiar gait of
the male deer.—Seleotlllc American.
