THE OBLIGING DRUGGISTS , ,
mm
A
At the Methodist Chusch.
Rev. J. W. Cowan’s sermon,
^Sunday morning was a mission-
ary sermon in its broadest sense
and the text may be found in the
14th verse of Romans I. This is
the expression of the apostle,
Paul, who declared himself a
debtor both to the Greek and the
barbarian, to the wise and the
unwise.
Paul gave himself a good many
names, and none of' them were
very flattering. Among them
were servant, apostle, prisoner,
least of all the saints, and debtor.
debt is an obligation to anoth-
er and may be incurred in dif-
ferent ways, which the minister
exemplified. The Christian’s
debt extends to those from whom
he has received nothing, and was
incurred when Christ suffered
sin and death, that he might be
saved. It is not a financial but
a moral obligation.
Paul said he was indebted to
the Greeks and to the barbarians.
As the Greeks considered all the
world besides themselves as bar-
barians, this statement may be
taken to mean that Paul consid-
ered himself indebted to the
whole world.
All men need and should have
the gospel. The Greeks as rep-
resenting all of culture, wealth
and intelligence; but in true wis-
dom, the most poverty stricken,
needed it. Likewise the bar-
barians, the poor, the unintel-
lectual people in every walk of
life.
All men do not acknowledge
as Paul did that they are debtors
to all the world. Some give their
ministrations to wealthy people
and those of high degree. Others
confine their efforts to the lowly
in the slums. But the true Chris-
tian should make no distinction
between the crying need/of the
rich and the poor.
Paul bent all his energies to
pay this debt. He went through
torture, hardships and discour-
agements, and was undismayed
to the end, having fought a good
fight.
This debt belongs to every
Christian and has been laid by
divine hands upon every diseiple
of Christ. In proportion as this
obligation is paid is the Chris-
tian’s realization of its magni-
tude, and of the life blood of
Christ and of the many martyrs
which put him in debt.
There are three ways to pay it:
(1.) Exemplify the life of Christ;
(2) show an interest in the sal-
vation and welfare of those in
close proximity; (3) by support-
ing the cause of missions either
in person or by financial support.
At the close of the service over
$300 were pledged towards the
conference collection.
An assistant minister of the
Christian church is now at the
home of Bro. E. J. Bradley. He
arrived Wednesday night at 10
o’clock, and weighs ten pounds.
Bro. Bradley is heartily congrat-
ulated by his friends and is justly
proud of his son and heir.
People are paying their state,
county and city taxes in a way
that indicates prosperity. There
will be some important contests
at the ballot box next year and
every poll tax should be paid and
the receipt carefully kept.
Suburban Realty.
I have about 16 acres of land
less than two miles from the
courthouse, would make one or
more nice suburban homes,
which I will sell at a bargain
price. J. E. Vernor. tf
A Dangerous Condition.
In connection with the report
of a homicide in Dallas, Monday,
came the news that this is the
fifty-second killing in that city
during this year. This makes
an average for the year of a kill-
ing each week.
It does notmeed to be said that
murder trials will require more
than a week each to be disposed
of. Moreover, the cburts are not
in session every week in the
year. Even were the courts do-
ing more than they now are do-
ing it would be certain the docket
would be clogged with murder
cases in addition to the average
amount of petty criminal cases.
This is a' serious matter. The
condition is not confined to Dal-
las. Dallas was selected for
comment simply because the
actual figures were presented.
The situation in this county is
probably better than in any other
large county of the' state. But
the situation throughout this
state is bad. These cases must
come to trial promptly if the
courts are to do their work.
Yet they are not coming to
trial promptly. Out of that col-
lection of fifty-two cases it is ab-
solutely certain some are going
to “die” simply through remain-
ing on the docket until the whole
affair is forgotten and the wit-
nesses scattered. This is especi-
ally unsatisfactory to the public,
and not even satisfactory to some
of the defendants. Out of that
number certainly many of the j
defendants feel they were forced j
to kill to protect their own lives.
They want vindication. They
want to present their cases to
juries of twelve men and come
forth with the verdict declaring
them not guilty of a charge of
murder. And if the facts war-
rant they are entitled to that
cleansing of the record. Under
the constitution every man is en-
titled to prompt trial.
One of the most difficult things
to preach to the general public
is that crelessness in such mat-
ters is very, very serious. Such
situations cannot “just rock
along.” They become steadily
worse. Here is a situation where
the wrong stands forth clearly
and the remedy is known and
the clamor of press and public is
heard. But very little is being
done.—San Antonio Express.
ENGLISH IN GRAND OPERA.
Sousa, the “March King,” is the
latest musical celebrity to advocate
the use of English in grand opera.
The music critic of the American
met him on Broadway. He had been
rehearing for some hours, but when
he was asked for his views on the
subject of English as an operatic
medium, he responded vigorously.
Sousa is no less ardent in his faith
in the vernacular than Walter Dam-
rosch and Lillian NTordica.
“Certainly I believe English
should be used in oper^,” said he.
'Tt is as singable and as musical as
any of the languages one listens to
at the Metropolitan. As musical, at
all events, when it is rightly enunci-
ated and when the librettos are
properly worded.”—New York
American.

Takes Middle-Class Boy Much Longer
to Enter Upon Man’s
Work.
The world is getting organized.
Except in some of the professions
(and often even in them) we most of
us start in on our life work at some'
small subdivided job in a large or-
ganization of people, writes William
Hard in Everybody’s. The work of
organization is so systematized-as to
concentrate responsibility and remu-
neration toward the top. In time,
from job to job, up an ascent which
grows longer as the organization-
.grows bigger, we achieve responsibil-
ity. Till we do, we discharge minor
duties for minimum pay.
This is just as true of the boy
from a “middle class” family as it is
of the boy from a “working class”1
family. There follows, however, a
most important difference between
them. The “middle class” boy will
have to work longer and go farther
than the “working class” boy in or-
der to rise to the financial standards
of his class. In this respect the
“working class” boy will be a man,
ready for marriage, long before his
“middle class” fellow worker.
It is among the<, “middle class”
boys, then, that the period of infan-
cy is most prolonged. They get a
good deal of schooling. The stores
of human knowledge are put in their
hands, to some extent, and, to some
extent, they catch up with, the ex-
perience of the race. This takes a
longer and longer effort, particularly
if real mastery of any real technique
is attempted. Then, on going to
work, they find that system, sup-
planting science, has perfected such’
an organization. of the world of
work that they must stay for quite
a while in the ranks of the organi-
zation. They will not soon he earn-
ing what is regarded among their
friends as a marrying income. In.
money, as well as in mind, they ap-
proach marriage with increasing tar-
diness. Their prolonged infancy i&
financial, as well as mental.
