Estate Tax Explained.
Austin, Tex.. Oct. 2.—A. S. Walker,
internal revenue eollector for the
Third district of Texas, today gave
out Hie fallowing statement in expla-
nation of the estate tax levied In the
recently enacted revenue act:
“Section 205, Title 11 of the revenue
act .of Sept. 8, Miff, requires all exec-
utors and administrators of gross es-
tates exceeding $00,000 or net estates
exceeding $50,000 to notify the eollec-
tor off Internal revenue within thirty
days of the issuance of letters or
within thirty days from coming into
any property of a decedent dying af-
ter the date of the passage of the act.
“Where there is no executor or
administrator any persmi coming Into
possession of any property of a de-
cedent whose total property exceeds a
gross valeu of $00,000 or ii net value
of $50,000 is required to file similar
notice within thirty days of posses-
sion. This notice is required in the
ease of all property, regardless of
amount, owned in America by a non-
resident.
"Tile gross estate, for tax purposes,
includes property passing by deed of
trust, decedent's interest in joint})tank

Is It Fair
That a merchant should be compelled to borrow money
at the bank, to take care of his obligations, because his
customers don’t pay?
When people buy merchandise on credit, they get the
same price as when paying cash. _
They get the merchants MONEY for thirty days. % %
Accounts should be paid on or immediately after the
first of the following month, unless previously arranged for.

the musicians who faithfully served

Mrs, I,. J.’Reynolds, who furnished
tin- piano music, are also deserving of

There has been a elioir of from two
hundred to four hundred voices each

the revival came; if is glad for the
men uud vointyi who have sign If leu
that from thisTTrae forward they will
walk the straight and narrow path:
glad for the backsliders who have
lieen reclaimed; glad for the general
good lias lieen accomplished, and
wishes for each otic concerned, no dif-

success and happiness.
Sunday Was a Great Day.
Sunday was a great day. On Sat to-
day night the service was more for
the children and Mr. Smith sang
many special songs, in which they
look part.
Sunday morning the sermon was to
church members nnd those who have
made the good confession.
Sunday night the evangelist, the
Rev. John Klward Brown, preached
on the subject: “Weighing the City."
Before doing so, however, lie made
a personal appeal to all church mem-
l>ers to attend n rally in nit of the
churches hiteresPsi in the meeting
tomorrow (Tuesday) night. The pas-
tors of the churches named are anx-
ious that these rallies prove to be
well attended by all tliefr—members
and by those who have been convert-
ed nnd expect to join the church. To
that end all church memls-rs are ox-
pected to see to It that -their friends,
who were converted daring the meet-
ing are on hand.
nnele Sunday morning, at which time
the ctlurches conducting the revival
met for union service, was lit lie- na-
ture of a Ciuithiuatlon. of the subject
preached upon by Bov. Brown Satur-
day night; Ids message striking at
tin1 negative and the disinterested
church member in imrtlcular; exhort-
ing those gl ready in tlx- church to
Ik- more solicitous of the spiritual
welfare of the new converts, extend-
ing sympathy and aid rather titan in-
difference and skepticism , in tin- abil-
ity of those converted to stick. His
text was taken front Hnlutiatis vl 7,
which reads, “Be not deceived; for
God Is not mocked: for u lmtsoever a
man soweth that shall he also reap.”
Declaring that skeptics in tic*
church who stood by at tin* conver-
sion of hardened sinners, doubting
their ability to stick were jxisscssed
of the devil. Rev. ltrown declared
Unit young converts could and would
make good, despite the coldness and
selfishness of such church lneinltcr-
sbtp.
•‘Every church needs a group o»
earnest workers who vx ill especially
look after the spiritual welfare of
their weaker members,” said Rev.
Brown ; and. he charged1’ every good
Christian to guard, to sympathize
with and to lend a helping hand to
the young convert, in order that, they
might keep thetr vision nnd not lose
it in the ridicule of (lie world.

1-ast Night’s Sermon.
Thg text used 'by Dr. Browp last
night was taken from the book or
Daniel ami front the story of Belshaz-
zar's impious feast, at which the king
saw a hand writing on the wait,
which was afterwards Interpreted by
Daniel to read: “Thou art weighed In
the balance and found wanting” The
sermon was strong. earnest and to
the point. The evangelist gave
graphic history of Belshazzar's feast,
but said' he wattled to get down to
tlm present tlrte Instead of talking
about somethInj? that Imppeued nine-
teen hundred ynars ago, and wanted
to tttlk to ami Rbout a people of the
Twentieth century, iu the city of
Sherman. He pointed Out the fae>
flint wlien Belshazzar found that his
dujs were numlH'red nnd that he had
been weighed In the balances and
found wanting, lie Uhl not apiienl to
tin* men and women about blm who
had taken part in the debauchery In
which lie was engaged, but lie sent
for Ills mother and then for his moth-
er's pastor. This, lie said, ia signtfi
cunt. Whenever a man or woman
finds that he or she is about, to be
cut down, they do not send for those
who live as did Belshazzar and those
with whom Hint king associated, bat
they find out all of a sudden that
tlieir fHfher and mother are pretty
good people, not such old. fogies n<
they perhaps Ihougth' and they want
their mother and their mother's pas-
tors.
Tlie evangelist took up the ten com-
mandments, one by one, and said
that they are ns important today .as
the (lay they wore written. He declar-
ed that those who break these com-
mandments have been weighed and
have been found wanting.
At the conclusion of tin*
there were more than one
who professed Christ.

sermon
hundred
Saturday Nlglit,
Saturday night the evangelist
preached upon the subject, "Get
There and Stay There,” taking hi-)
text form the second epistle of Tim-
othy, iv, 7. which reads. "I have
fought a good fight;..I have finished
my course: l have kept Hie faith.”
These words were uttered by St Paul
while lying in tin* prison awaiting
the word which would say whether
lie should live or die,
Tlte pith of Rev. Brown’s sermon
may Is* gathered around |pe charge or
refrain widen rt*u through his entire
discourse: "You join the church;
don't 1® a setter In tlm church."
"With git iu Imperfections the
church Js the best thing under God's
heavens today; and if a person Is
really converted it will seem so,” de-
clared Rev. Brown. ."Right endures
forever.” The evangelist delivered an
invective against the compromising
type of Christianity, warning those
who lived for Oh riot but the one day
out. of the week, become total back-
Sunday Afternoon.
The central row of scats was re-
served Sunday afternoon for men lo
hear Rev. Brown's sermon on t lie
liquor traffic, which he calls "Men vs.
Hogs, or Texas on the Water Wagon.-
IVl'Imps lids was one of tho most
practical sermons delivered by tlte
evangelist in a long Series of practi-
cal sermons. Striking deep into the
very heart of the question of the re-
sponsibility for the great national
disgrace tie shattered every argument
grnonilly brought for’(lie legalizing
of the open -saloon. Ills opening re-
marks were tn the nature of showing
the havoc arid the min brought by
the whiskey traffic; then the evange-
list discoursed on the responsibility
for the traffic, “for tho ruination of
more lives than have lieen wiped out
by all the wars of the world for 22001
years,” closing with a call to every
man in the tabernacle who would
throw his influence against the traf-
fic to stand. Practically every per-
son in the audience stood.
“There are five responsible factors
or characters In the liquor traffic,
namely, the brewer, the liar tender,
the owner of the hind on which Ihe
«nloon is operated or the iierson who
holds the franchise to legalize or pro-
hibit the sale of liquor ami the drunk-
ard or the user of the liquor. Three
of these are In (lie business for mon-
etary gain. The drunkard or addict Is
.there for heaven Knows why. Of a
certain these must answer for their
crime. But the greatest responsibility
rests, not uim>ii those who profit from
the traffic, but upon the until who
(•lists Ills ballot to legalize the traffic;
for In so doing he liecotucs a partner
to the crime of broken homes and
ruined lives,”
"It has lieen demonstrated that only
teii tier cent of tiie $2.25tl,000,tKMI,
which goes for Intoxicating liquors
annually comes hack Into legitimate
channels of trade, and yet folks argue,
that it would he against the best in-
terest of business to prohibit tlm sale
of liquor at one sweeping blow.
Nothing that is morally wrong can be
made legally right. The greatest dan-
ger is in tlm gilded saloon and In the
clubs dtsiiensing whiskey. The unto;
her who would be thrown out of era-
plnvment and the capital Invested
which would he lost, by sweeping pro-
hibition laws would not near equal tIUi
number which lose their positions be-
cause of tlm euro; and the money In-
vested which would be lost would not
near equal the money lost annually
because of the legalizing of tlm traf.
tie. One by one tin- evangelist shat
tered the time worn arguments
brought against the prohibition tif the
liquor traffic.
Rev, Brown predicted statewide
prohibition for Texas in the coming
election and also nation-wide prohihl
lion tn only a few years.
ltev. John Klward Brown, preached
Ids farewell sermon.
Tin; entire high school student body
attended and when tlm call was made
for people to step out across the line
on the side of God and accept Christ,
nearly every student did so.
Just think of more than three hun-
dred girls nnd Isvys lieing couvertod
at one time!
Just think wbat this means for the
future of Sherman!
Just think what this means for tlm
future of the kingdom of God on
earth! d
Just think of what It mentis for this
many hoys and girls to take up Hip
work of spreading the Muster’*
cause!
The evangelist took thf* text:
“Whereas ye know not what shall be
on the morrow. For what -tn your
life? It Is even a vapor, that is>
lieareth for a little time, and then
vanlslmth away,” found In the fourth
chapter and the fourteenth verse of
the Ixsik of Daniel. He ninde It so
plain that Jesus can sure from sin;
that the life lived here will count In
the future, and that the only way to
lm in life eternal Is to accept Christ
and live right, that nearly nil of tho
young people who hail not already
done so, stcpiied out
Many others were also converted.

While the evangelist scored his
hearers again and again for indiffer-
ence and neglect in church work, he
did so hi gx>d failh and by his apt
comparisons and witticisms convulsed
these same church members lime and
again In laughter, In closing-he said
that nothing would test the sincerity
of tho new convert ns well as his atti-
tude on tlte financial support of tlm
church. "The church lias become a
Lazarus oh the doorstep of the world,
tmggtug the crumbs Hint fall,” ex-
claimed Brown, "and if every membei
would pay Ids just debt, to God, in tlte
practice of tithing, there would not lie

would no!.-1*- met by the church.” Ex-
horting his hearers to stand by tlieir

ing, the evangelist closed his sermon.
