10 THE CHRISTIAN NATION. Vol. 61.
SELMA ECHOES.
Monday afternoon the pupils were
highly entertained by Madam Broadus
Anderson, a prominent singer, and
Miss Dixon, a pianist and reciter.
Both ladies were from Chicago and
are making a tour of the south.
Their main object in making this
tour is to visit and see as many of
the schools as possible and Inspire
the youth of the race to nobler and
higher ideals of life.
The flrst temperance contest of the
yeJir was held in the chapel Friday
evening. Six pupils were the contestants
who acquitted themselves in
a creditable manner. In addition to
the orations very good music was
rendered. A large motto was placed
over the platform iu chapel with the
following words: "Touch not, taste
not, handle not." These contests are
doing great good and having a widespread
influence in the surrounding
communities.
A ten day campaign was held to
raise $100.00 for the repairing of the
church. The money was realized and
the work is done. The night bees
for cleaning the church were also a
success.

We continue to hear the complaint

Repairing the roof of the church
and replastering the walls and ceiling
of the main auditorium cost about
dollars if the other seventy-five were
raised inside of two weeks. The proposition
did the work.
We are hopefully looking forward
to decision day Sabbath, the 22nd
Some have already shown bright
hope of taking a stand for the higher
life in Christ. This decision day idea
was suggested by Prof. Sanderson,
and is meeting the favorable endorsement
of all the workers.
As yet the war has not effected the
regular attendance of pupils at school.
We have our 'much appreciated enlarged
chapel just about full. The
pupils seem to be taking hold of the
school work in every department with
much enthusiasm.
At a teachers' meeting Wednesday
evening before prayer meeting, a committee
was appointed to prepare a
program for decision day. A design
prepared by Prof. Bottoms and placed
in the Sabbath School room in the
basement of the church is calculated
to show that there are two things to
be realized in the person of every
true Christian, first Christ, and second
the higher life that must result
from having Christ.
A cold wave fell upon Selma Monday
and is making a draft upon the
coal bins. The bare-footed and thinly-clad
youths at school tell the story
clearly that some are not prepared
for the winter. The wants of life are
three-fold, necessities, comforts and
luxuries. Some have not much of
any of the three. Few are really prepared
for life. There is a large work
in life for those who know what lile
is.
Considerable improvement has been
