Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1885-05-16

continued in session three days. A very
interesting program was rendered by
some of the ablest ministers of the State.
The attendance was quite large.
Mound City Clarion: A Bando of Hope
was organised last Sunday at the u. Fl
church, with twenty-seven members.
Mrs. w. A. Trigg was chosen leader.
Master Frark Watson secretary, and
Miss Ada Wright treasurer.
Wellington Press: The series of
meetings that have been conducted
nightly at the Christian church during
the past week, have been very interest
ing and instructive. Rev. Clay the
pastor, has been ably assisted by Rev.
Myers. of Winfield. Last night there
was one addition to the church, and two
persons joined by letter.
Florence Tribune: Subscription papers
are out for the provision of q fund TO
erect Free Methodist Church in Flor
ence some time during the Summer and
Fall. If the religious world is to remain
divided into q multitude of sects the
Free Methodists ought to have the same
generous consideration accorded to other
denominations.
Nortonville News: The new Presby-
terrain church will be dedicated May 19,
which will be two weeks from next Sum
day. Rev. J. w. Bailey, D. D., one of the
ablest divines in the state, and for nine
years President of Galesburg College, at
Galesburg, ILL.,, will preach the dedica-
tory sermon. He will be assieted by
Rev. A. NJ. Reynolds, of Oskaloosa, an
other very talented expounder of moral
and religious ethics. The Presbyterians
have handsome and roomy edifice and
should be accorded large audience on
the above occasion.
Seneca Tribune: The NJ. E. Parsonage
was besieged by q numerous and for
midable host few evenings ago, and
the new pastor, Rev. Gee. Winrerbourne.
and family received severe pounding.
They recovered from their surprise.
however, sufficiently to thoroughly en-
Joy the invasion OF their peaceful home
and say "come again." A very pleasant
time was enjoyed everyone trying to
out do his neighber in expressions OF
welcome and good will. The company
dispersed early, leaving larder and ward
robe, replenished; and hearts rich in at.
fection's wealth by the friendly call.
Emporia Ne,Us: Rev. D. B. Shuey who
recently resigned the pastorate of the
Reformed church, here, to enter more
fully into work, designated by the Board
of Missions of that church, preached his
farewell sermon few Sundays ago. We
understand the Board of Missions has
appointed his successor for the church
at this place, but the appointee has not
yet signifed his acceptance. Mr.. Shuey
has been requested by the Board of Mis-
sions to visit several points in Texas in
the interest of the church, and in the
near future he will take trip to Dallas,
and other points in that state in compli.
ance with this desire.
Clay Center Times: We learn that the
Green Methodist church cost about 81, 600
and is very good building for the money.
Rev. ]. F. Dennis, than whom there
are no better men for struggling congre-
cations, conceived the idea of building q
good church at Green, quarried and
dressed many of the rock used in it's
building, with his own hands superin-
tended its construction from "turret
top to foundation stone" and is really
nearly wholly responsible for the build
ing. His efforts were nobly seconded by
the trustees, Messrs. Young, Wallace and
Doan, who did their parts intelligently
and we'll. $3.50 were given by the Church
Extension Society which is the only out
side aid of any importance given the
enterprising little community.
Clay Center Times: The PRESBYTERIAN
social at J. P. Cambell's house of many
gables on the hill side a few evenings ago
was well attended considering the wealth
er, and netted the ladies quite handsome
amount. Besides the regular amuse.
ments common to such entertainments,
Mrs Cambell introduced new feature
which was attractive as instructive. It
is making shilloette pictures and the
manner of operation is about as follows:
A small glass door was used, though q
picture frame and glass would answer as
well, on which piece of white paper
was pasted. The subject sits between a
bright lamp and frame in such position
that his or her profile is cast sharply on
the paper. The outlines are carefully |
traced with pencil and afterwards neatly |
cut out and pasted on sheet Of black |
paper. 1t Is remarkable what perfect
pictures can be gotten even in hurried |
manner. They are quite pretty (some-
times) and afford much amusement
when pinned on the wall. Of course |
small amount was charged for each
portrait.
