guessing.
The home of Mr. and Mrs.
Craft is in mourning today and
the sadness is caused by the de-
mise of “Charlie,” the gay little
squirrel who has for eleven years
been a bright joy to his master
and mistress. He was the last
remaining boyhood pet of Temple

caused him to surround himself
with them during his residence
here, and Mrs. Craft feels her
loss all the more keenly on this
account*

anxiety was felt as to the out-

The last meeting of this body
was the most enthusiastic one
that has ever been held and the
members seem to have entered
into the season with renewed in-
terest and determination. Of-

gatherings will be held at the
hom&s instead of the church.

completed and hereafter the les-
sons will be taken directly from

Behymer-Gay.
A pretty wedding occurred
Tuesday morning at the Ivy Cot-
tage when Miss Goldie Gay be-
came the wife of E. W. Behymer,
of San Antonio. An improvised
altar of ivy formed a pretty set-
ting for the ceremony which was
conducted by. Rev, E. C. Leeper,
of the Presbyterian church.
The bride is the daughter of
Mrs. NolaGay, formerly of Cald-
well, but who has made this place
her home for the past few months.
The groom is a chemist and
wholesale manufacturer of toilet
articles and has an established
business in the Alamo City.
The bride’s wedding gown was
of Copenhagen blue cloth which
was changed for a neat traveling
coat suit of green. Mr. and Mrs.
Behymer left at once for Calfor-
nia where they will spend the
winter with the former’s- parents.
In the spring they will return
to their own home in San An-
tonio.
Only intimate friends and
relatives were present at the mar-'
riage service but a wide circle of
aquaintances join in best wishes
to the happy pair.
P. A. LeCompte was among
his friends here a day or two this
week. He is just up from a se-
rious spell of sickness, having
been confined to his home for
some time. He wants his friends
in this and the bther counties of
the district to remember that he
! is still in the race for representa-
tive and hopes all will vote for
i him who can consistently do so.
f He is a progressive man, believes
in having the best at his home
( and for his people.'

tram where he will take in the

! fairs and seldom missess one.

Importance of Repentance.
Monday night witnessed the
usual crowd at the Baptist church
and the evangelist took “Repent-
ance” as his subject, and held
the attention closely for an hour.
Here are some of his expressions:
“Repentance is the key to sal-
vation. One old preacher said
he thought we ought to preach
‘believe’ more than ‘repent.’ I
asked him how many had be-
lieved under his ministry, and he
said not one. I told him I was
trying to get them to repent, and
I thank Cod that three or four
hundred repented there. These
are the first words of Christ,
‘Repent and believe the gospel.*
About the biggest job a man can
tackle is repenting. I had a man
to tell me it would cost him six
thousand dollars to repent, and I
told him he had better repent and
accept Christ and be a pauper
the rest of his life, than to sell
but to the devil and become a
millionaire. The prodigal when
he was in the hog-pen had to
climb out and start back to his
father. That’s repentance.
“This doctrine of repentance
runs through the Bible from one
end to the other. The prophets
and the disciples alike preached
it. It means to quit sin. Re-
pentance. Dives believed, but
he did not repent until he was on
the wrong side of the ditch, and
when he waked up in hell he
wanted some one sent to his
brothers that they might repent.
“Repentance is sorrow, but it
is more than that. You can go
down to the jail and you will find
them all sorry, not because they
did wrong* but because they were
caught. I used to go a whole
lot on physical demonstration,
but now I count on what happens
after a man repents. It is the
inward work that counts and if
that is all right, the outside part
will take care of itself. Some
folks say there is nothing in re-
ligion but excitement. I thank
God that more than five years
ago I got excited, quit drinking,
turned to God, and went home to
my wife a sober husband, and I
have been sober ever since.” '
Tonight the evangelist will
speak on “Lampasas sold out to
the devil, lock, stock and bar-
rel.” All are invited.
Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Dildy left
Monday night for Dallas where
they will enjoy the great fair in
progress.
