CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR socIABlLIT-

A large and happy crowd of young Heo-
pie gathered at the residence of Mr.. c. E.
Potts, 1715 Fairvew, Wednesday to sp{nd
the evening at the mercies of their hos pit
able host and hostess and their charm ing
daughter, aided by the social COMMITTEES
of the Endeavor society of the First Pies

and delightful the Endeavorers seerAed

The Mandolin club kindly responded to
a hearty encore. These gentlemen play
well together and their music is of high
grade. The music was all very we'll Tkn-
dered indeed and highly appreciated Iby
all. At the close Of the program opHbr-
tunity was given for all TO become
thoroughly acquainted, and the many
strangers present said they became quite
confused in trying to remember phe
names of the people present.
The doors to the dining room were tHen
thrown open and all were invited to esebrt
themselves and others to the refreshment
table, which was almost too refreshing
considering the cool breezes, but which
was literally patronized nevertheless. 1t
is the rule of the society never to make
any charge for refreshments and hence no
pletheoTic pocket book is the result; but
we trust that the results will be much
more lasting than gold which perisheth"
and that all present may carry with them
happy remembrance of those hoars
spent under the auspices of the society,
whose watchwor is For Christ and the
Church"

HE GROWS ELOQUENT.

Mr.. T. J. Rogers, one OF our local insur-
ance agents, received the following letter
from the general manager of one of his
companies in New York:
Let me call your feverish attention to
the fact that it is not necessary TO employ
a dOuble-convex lens with a convoluted
focus 90 see that the clouds are passing
away! The business horoscope is rapidly
Frightening and everything points clearly
10 more prosperous times. The
bOuntiful crops will assuredly in
ity, diminish his Alliance absurdities,
and cause a healthy revival of all enter
prises and added activity In all branches
of mercantile pursuits. Kansas is bet
ter than she is painted. The vascular
slarmist must take his place with the
blooming chumps in the rear OF the pro-
cession. The general abundance will
spread the nimble dollars with a sort of
free-coinage loOseness, and with agreeable
suddennesSs emanclpate the porous-ples-
tered farm from its adhesive ineumbrance,
aud then broaden the phylactery aud
sweeten the repOse of the rest
less and distracted agriculturist.
The merchant will feel stiln-
ulated after prolonged period of
peruicious Innovation aud inactivity,
caused by business lacitude, ana with the
coming propitious autumn days will IN
crease his stock aud his trade as wellh has
his indemnity. The farmers calves will
become more pot-bellied, the merchant
likewise; and contentment with wings of
brooding peace will hover about with
cheerful sweetness and promiscuouspess
that viii forever still the granger's
clamorous breast The local agent, GOD
bless him, who possesses all the attributes
of the daisy, after q protracted season of
mastery inactivity viii not be slow in
taking advantage of the auspicious
transition. And in this connection want
to suggest s substantial remembrance of
our old reliable company and 10 kindly
ask You TO give US good increase eseh
