Lines by A. W. Crane, Baraboo

To Mother

How kind and wise a mother is
But how cold and sad the heart,
To think she fills the home with bliss
And yet she from us must depart,
Depart unto a glorious land
No more this dreary world to roam,
Then welcomed by the angel band
She’ll dwell in her eternal home.

C. H. Lee is arranging to bring from the farms owned by William Schubring and himself at Collegeport, Texas, a car load of luscious watermelons. It requires about 1200 to fill a car and it would require just that many to place one in every house in Baraboo. Of course all would want a melon grown by Baraboo people in Texas. It is planned to have them here for Independence Day.—Baraboo Weekly News, June 13, 1912

Federated Church: Lone Star State

C. H. Lee, senior member in the firm of the Lee-Radtke Hardware Co., has received a copy of The County Gentleman: which tells of a federated church at Collegeport, Texas, where Mr. Lee owns property, and where he has spent several winters. W. H. Schubring, formerly a resident of Baraboo, is superintendent of the Sunday school in the federated church. The article in The Country Gentleman” reads as follows:

 

In Collegeport, Texas, a Federated church in whose membership are represented at least twelve different denominations.

 

Doctrinal subjects are seldom mentioned in the church, and a member hardly knows to what denomination his neighbor formerly belonged.

It is estimated that fully three-quarters of the population of the town and surrounding country are members, and there are often more men than women in attendance at the services.

 

Rev. M. A. Travis has been the pastor and leader ever since the church was organized in January , 1910. He was formerly a Baptist minister in one of the Northern States, but became weary of denominational discussions and dissensions, so when he moved to Texas he organized the Federated church.

 

The Sunday-morning service is a combined service, with preaching followed by half an hour of Bible study. The Sunday-evening service is conducted by the Young People’s Christian Endeavor Society.

 

There is a fraternal organization among the men and boys called the Princes of Jonathan, whose business it is to look after the man who is sick or out of work.

 

The Woman’s Union, composed of the women of the church, takes the place of the usual aid society and missionary society.

 

There is a committee on social life to welcome and introduce strangers and look after all social affairs; this committee is a part of the church cabinet.

 

It is everybody’s church and everybody is expected to have an interest in its support and work. The building takes its place as a true community center. It is a larger building than most small towns can boast, and any public meeting whatever, religious, social or industrial—provided it is in the interest of the community—may be held in one of its rooms.

 

Holiday celebrations, banquets, parties, socials and picnic have found the church parlors very convenient.

 

When Mr. Travis was asked recently what was his chief doctrine he answered, “Don’t scrap.”
