RE A ST PENICK FORD, LTDA SYRUP SOCIETY EDITED BY MRS. FRED SCOTT. Old Phone No. 66. "Judge Not." Judge not; the workings of his brain of his heart thou canst not gee; What looks to thy dim eyes a stain, God's pure light may only be A scar brought from some weli known field, Where thou wouldst 'only faint and yield.

The look, the air, that frets thy sight, May be a token that below The soul has closed in deadly flight With some fiery foe. Whose glance would scorch thy smiling grace, And cast thee shuddering on thy face! The fall thou darest to despiseMaybe the angel's slackening hand Has, suffered it, that he may rise And take a firmer, surer stand; Or, trusting early things, May henceforth learn to use his wings. And judge none lost; but wait and see, With hopeful pity, not disdain, The depth of the abyss may be The measure of the height of pain And love and glory that may raise This soul God in after days! -Adelaide Anne Proctor.

SERVICES TONIGHT. The attendance upon the week of prayer service last night was better than the night before, though not as large as many hoped.

The blizzard in its boisterousness had passed, but it left the chill of its presence in the air, leaving the temperature too cold for many to venture out. There were about twenty-five people present, Napoleon said, "All great victories are won by small armies." Likewise, all great and Impressive services, or most of them, are the result of the faith and fervor of small congregations. So it was at the week of prayer service last night. After singing several hymns, and prayer by Dr. Bishop and Dr.

Butler, Dr. McLauchlin delivered the address on "The Christian Church," and his conception of the natural work and mission of the church as developed in his address, was comprehensive, practical and up to date. He said tile church determined in the earlier centuries, at the council of Nice, the nature of God. At its next great council it determined the nature of man. At the time of the reformation it determined man's relation to God.

Now the time has arrived for the church to determine man's relation to man, and to emphasize more man's duty to man. The church has been so absorbed in the work of saving men's souls beyond the that she has forgotten, or neglected, a large part of the example and teaching of her Lord. The mission of Jesus and that which He committeth to His followers was the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth, not primarily the preparation of men for a kingdom of God beyond the grave. ONE COMMANDMENT FORGOTTEN The second great commandment, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," has largely been lost sight of in the supreme effort to obey the first. The speaker said if all men could awake tomorrow morning loving their neighbors as themselves, the world would have problems, the vision of St.

John would be realized, and the no, New Jerusalem would have descended into the earth to remain, The address was one of the most vigorous, vital and telling that has been heard at union services in Austin. Dr. McLauchlin has many characteristics of the great preacher, and among the most indispensable, the habit of thinking for himself. He deals with living issues, and has a direct, earnest and forcible address that carries conviction to the listener. The services continue tonight.

The subject will be "Foreign Missions." Rev. Dr. Bishop, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, will deliver the address and Rev. Dr. Robertson, district secretary of the Anti-Saloon league for the Waco district, will conduct the service.

The hour of meeting is 7:30 o'clock p. m. A cordial invitation to attend is extended to all and a cordial welcome awaits all who come. HYDE PARK UNION SERVICES. Churches Are Observing the Week of Prayer- -Plans for Tonight.

Phelps, Professor of English at Yale, Guest of University Faculty. Delivers an Address, The University on yesterday had a very distinguished visitor, Dr. William Lyon Phelps, professor in English at Yale, who was a guest of the faculty during the day and delivered an address to the students of the University and general public last night.

and Mrs. L. W. Goodrich, whose acquaintance with Dr. Phelps was made at Yale, In the afternoon, Dr.

Meyer and Dr. Phelps called on Governor Campbell, after which a drive was taken over the city with Dr. Calloway. The lecture delivered last night by Dr. Phelps at the law auditorium of the University was on the "Modern Novel," which very much appreciated considering the cold night.

Dr. Phelps' address was not a mere literery instructive criticism of discussion the novel, of the but was subject an as to its influence and, importance in the world of literature. Phelps leaves today for Baylor uriversity, where he will speak togoing then to Philadelphia before returning, to MUSIC BY VARSITY BAND Director Hunnicutt. Announces That First Concert of Season Will Be Given January 31. Walter Hunnicutt, director and business manager of the University band, announced yesterday that the first concert of the year will be given January 31 in the auditorium of the University.

This will be the first of three concerts which the band will give this session, and beginning in the spring there will be several open air entertainments on the campus. So far the band has not received the necessary financial support of the etudent body, according to the statement of Manager Hunnicutt, and considerable expense is incurred in replacing instruments and in purchasing music. Besides, a director's salary has to be raised from such assistance as the students a and general public give. The University band is one of the worthiest organizations in the institution, exerting a great influence over all student activities. Many calls are upon it to play at University functions, for which work the members receive nothing.

GRADUATES RESPONDING Alumni of the University of Texas Tak. ing New Interest in the Association-Sending Checks. John A. Lamar of the University, of the Alumni association, is secretary receiving many letters every day from graduates of the University requesting that their names be put on the rolls of the association. Shortly before the holidays, E.

D. Parker of Houston, president of the association, sent out letters urging the reorganization of the association and showing the needs of funds neceseary to carry on the work. Most of the responses are accompanied by checks, and it now appears that the Alumni association of the University is to be put on a splendid working baeis. It is the hope of the directors of the association that when the administ a- tive. officers of the University move into the new library building, leaving vacant their present offices, the space can be used by the members when visiting Austin.

A permanent eecretary will be employed to look after the interests of the association and will have an office in the main building of the University. Sixteen Hurt in Street Car Smash. New York, Jan, persons were injured, two fatally, in a collision between two Brooklyn trolley cars early today. One of the cars ran away when brakes failed on a long Incline leading an elevated line to the surface track and crashed into the other in the dense fog. Nearly every passenger on both cars was injured to some extent, STREET CAR LINE TO BE IMPROVED BIGGER AND BETTER PLANT IS TO BE STARTED AT ONCE-SIX NEW CARS HAVE BEEN ORDERED ALREADY.

That the present plant of the Austin Street Railway company will be torn down and a larger and better one built in its place, that six new cars will be ordered at once and put on the present system, and that other general and important improvements will be undertaken within a short time was the statement made last night by W. J. Jones, the vice president and general manager of the line. The great improvements come as a result the sale of the property of the present. Austin Electric Railway purchasers well equipped financially.

Yesterday in the office of the secretary of state a charter was filed calling for $1,250,000 capital stock as against $350,000 of the present company. The incorporators are given as R. C. Storey of Boston, William G. Bell and W.

H. Folts of Austin. The directors elected for the first year a are William G. Bell, W. H.

Folts and W. H. Young, all of Austin. Six new cars will be ordered by Manager Jones at once and will within a few weeks be running over the system. Mr.

Jones said last night that these cars are hadly needed now, that the company does not like the present cars any more than the general public doos, that they are small and not nearly as comfortable as those which will soon be added to the rolling stock of the new line. The intention of the company is to replace most of the old stock with new up-to-date material, keeping pace with the growth of the city and the amount of traffic that it will be called upon to handle every day. The engines of the present plant are not capable of meeting the demands the new concern for any length of time, although if everything continue in running order it probably would take care of the traffic for two or three years, The company, however, needs an auxiliary plant at once in order to meet any accident that may happen to the present machinery, TO ERECT NEW PLANT. In order to do this, the present plant will be torn down and a new one built, the new plant to have more and better machinery for producing the power needed by the line. It is estimated that the provisions of the new insurance law would be easier met by the new plant than it would be by adding to the present plant, the rates being cheaper for a new power house than for the old one in the present condition.

The men now behind the street railway are capable of making any improvements that they believe the growth of the city will warrant, which the old line with its smaller capitalization was not able to do. The company at present has no extensions in mind, although it expects to make some in the immediate future. The addition of the six new cars will put the company on a better footing in the handling of the heavy traffic, especially during the early morning hours and at night, when most of the business houses are being deserted. R. C.

Storey, is an attorney from Boston, who represents the large eastern owners of the company. He was present at the meeting of the stockholders and represented those holding the largest part of the stock. W. H. Young, one of the new directors, said last night that the company is constantly on the lookout for improvements in the service' as fast as the population of the city grows and that it had in mind almost four years ago the present extensions to South Austin and Duval street.

The new plant and new cars are merely the first of many improvements that the concern contemplates as the need for them becomes apparent. TEN ENGINES ARE BOUGHT.
