It has been well said that "the vir tues of cooperation are the virtues of an enduring democracy. And more, they are spiritual virtues." This Is not only true of a democracy. It may be applied no well to our school. This past month with its increased aver age attendance Is convincing proof that the combined efforts of parents, pupils and teachers can bring about results. The Increase-# nlnfe " stu dents over last mobthfc attendance brings us nearer Ufa not satisfied. Lets mike it afar* t&B month. ParoAfs, mitye a special ef fort to send your children every day. The honor roll for forfect attendance of laBt week wag shortened by the unfavorable weather on fYMav Old Thing* Made New Talk about going back to the old way of doing thing*, but If you didn't have a ride In the Carriage draws by a matchless red and white apotted horned horse Sunday afternoon you mlBRed something. The danger of at tracting the attention of speed copa waa the only worry. The burlap aack which seemed to be the only persua der available worked like magic. One or two frantic waves near the head of the frisky steed showed a sharp change registered on the spedometer. The needle jumped from one mile to one and oae-slxteenth In less than twenty minute* ? with much risk both to life and property. But such hazardous experiences go along with the other follies of youth, and who can deny that a health body and a mind at ease, and the simple pleasures that always please, aren't the greatest things af ter all? ? ? Lets go to see Miss Topsy Turry at tthoot building tonight. HE V. MK. WKIliHT 8AT8 THE AtiE 01 FOUTY IS TilE HIGH SOOS OK LIFE Able Sermons at Both Servle?? Mr. H. T. Wright, the minister that has been called to serve this church was with us Bumlay at both the morn ing and evening sorvlces. His audi ences were thrilled at hearing him give very timely goBpel truths that went home to our hearts. Those men and women who are at the age of forty must have felt that they were very much wiser as to their responsibility In life after hearing Mr. Wright's sermon Sunday morning. His subject was "High Noon." and he showed how that a person of forty was at the zenith of life In Influence, hoblts and practices of life. At the evening service he used as his subject "Must." with the text: Wist ye not, that I must be about my father's business. ? ? The Hollister Community Players will present a play, "Miss Topsy Tur vy" at the Wood school building Fri day evening, November 30, at 7:30. Admission 15 and 25 cents. ? ? Note of Thanks and Commendation Personally and in behalf of the Cal vin Class, I take this means of thank ing one of our most active memberB, Mr. A. S. J. Hamlett for manifesting his Interest In our class by ordering and hlmsolf being responsible tor 36 Sunday School Bibles and 4 Testa ments. He has rendered his class a great and good service, and none can be more appreciative than we. That Is one of the admirable graces of the Calvin members. Again we thank blm, and commend him In his good work, feeling confident he will gladly take further orders of the kind. THE CALVIN CLASS. To the Calvin Clans Men, think what Mr. Hamlett has done lor our class by making It con venient tor those of us wlio had no pocket Bibles to purchase them. It seems a small thing in one way, but some of our best Baptist workers have taken that for their life's work, dis tributing Bibles and Baptist literature. Now listen. What I want to ask you is this. Won't you think of some way that you can render your class a I definite service. Not only watch, but search tor things and Ideas that will enrich our minds, draw us closer to the Master, or in any way promote the cause for which we stand, ? the cause of Christ? Just resolve within yourself to do something definite with in the next month ? this year. Maybe it will never be recognized publicly, but you will have the joy of knowing that the all-seeing eye witnessed your efforts. This Is the season of Thanksgiving If you are grateful for having been born and reared In a Christian land, a place where such a class as ours Is possible; If you enjoy the Sunday morning hour and want your friends to have that same Joy, then, first, show your gratitude by making a 100 per cent record this Sunday. And, scc ond, your love for your fellows by tactfully persuading them to lend their presence and prayers to the de votional part of our Sunday school and listen to, It not prepared to Join In the discussion on the lesson. Young men and fathers! You are naturally at the head of everything ? Sunday school included. You are either the father or the "big brother" of more than you think. We hare learned that our Influence wfll be counted unto us for righteous or tor damnation, as the case may be. I>et us then guard our steps closely, and set fair examples that we wilt be proud to acknowledge as our oWn In the preifencb ot our Redeemer and King, on that Judgment day. May I ask again that yon resolve first, to lender you* Class a definite Service through love for yonr neigh bor; necoii d, that ton return thanks In the oh ilrch Sdnday In the jtresaboe <5T Itrfmjr you haYe Invited there, and third, that as father or brother ? the back-bone ? you "Quit yourselves like men; be strong." Your teacher, PEARTJ3 OUPTON. ? ? MUSICAL COMEDY A SUCCESS Goodly Sum Realised To Be Used For School.
