the folk Monday morning asking if
there was anybody at the Baptist
Church Sunday evening?
It was a good day for the Baptist
Church Sunday—good congregation
in the morning and a full house in
the evening.
Four fine young people were bapiz-
ed at the close of theevening service,
one coming from the M. E. church.
We are no part of any combine or
church trust, our desire is to preach
and practice the Old Time Religion,
and God sees fit to bless our work, by
giving us the largest congregation in
our town and gives us additions
every week.
You are thrice welcome to attend
all our services.

Israel Zangwill, presented by mem-
bers of the Sooners Dramatic Club,

fair audience, which was charmed
with Miss Anderson's conception of
the title role, "Merely Mary Ann,"
the maid of all work in Mrs. Lead-
batters English lodging house and
equally well pleased with Miss Per
rill Munch as Mrs. Leadbatter, a j
difficult part Miss Virginia;
Stroeler as Rosie, daughter of the
lodging housekeeper, was well cast!
for the part and proved most pleas- j
ing. Claude Foster, as Lancelot, '
the composer and genius, antl Roy
Baines as Lord Valentine Foxwell, I
an English peer, looked and played!
their parts very acceptably, and
Fletcher Riley, as the country
vicar, was good. The production as
a whole, was very acceptable and ]
vvas marred only hy the long waits
between acts.

Where Hennessey Begins
(With apology to the Chetopa poet)
Down where the handclasp's a little
stronger,
Down where a smile dwells a little longer,
I hat's where Hennessey begins.
Down where the sun is a little brighter.
Where the snows that fall are a little
whiter,
W here the bonds of home are a wee bit
lighter,
That's where Hennessey begins.
Down where the skies are n trifle bluer,
Down where friendship's o little truer,
Flint's where Hennessey begins.
Down where the fresher breeze is blow-
ing.
Where there's laughter in every stream-
let Mowing,
Where there's more of reaping and less
of sowing,
That's where Hennessey begins.
Down where a city is in the making.
Where fewer heurts in dispair are aching,
That's where* Hennessey begins.
Where there's more of singing and less of
sighing,
And a man makes friends without half
trying,
That's where Hennessey begins.
