LOGAN.

be o citizen OF Logan. we welcome
him and family to our midst.
Mrs. ]. q. Brodmarkle is training
large class in elocution with excel.
ent success, and proposes in the near
future to give an entertainment.
Mrs. William Schauble, who has
been extremely i'll for a number Of
days, is somewhat better and hopes
are now entertained OF her recovery.
Il. l. King is building an addition
TO his cosy residence which will add
much TO it's proportions and render it
a handsome and desirable property.
The mill having passed to the own
ershIp Of Schurtz e. Shaeffer, inn
provements are now being made upon
the dam, which has thrice been car
ried away, thus securing a supply Of
ice. New machinery will be added
and the building thoroughly repair
cd. It is expected that business will
be resumed shortly.
Major E. T. Scott and wife, tenn
perance evangelists, closed a series Of
lectures here lately. He has been
called a second John B. Cough, and
is not misnamed. Large Congregs-
tions greeted them nightly, and dur
ing their stay even to the hour OF
their departure the interest to hear
them was maintained. For logic,
pathos and sentiment, Maj, Scott in
his line cannot be excelled. His wor-
thy wife ably supplements him in his
lsbors. It may be as seed sown upon
the waters, but it is to be hoped great
good may result from their efforts.
The tenth anniversary Of the Y. p.
8. O. T., was very properly observed
OF The M. E. Church. Able speakers
depicted its origin, its growth, it's
present status, and future possibili-
ties. The society IS one Of a few in
Northwest Kansas which has survived
the vicissitudes of a decade and its
success is due to the noble band of
tireless workers of whom it is COM
posed. They number our best young
men and women, and the influence of
the society extends, not only among
the young people of town, but to those
of the surrounding country. Strlv-
ing always for the right, its objects
and aims being high and noble, the
Y. P. s. O. E. Of Logan dsservedly is
held in high esteem by the community
and deserves to prosper. Among the
able addresses, we give joyful cpl
tome of the Socisty and its work from
the pen of the President, Il. s. Baker:
Ten years Of life, and growth and work.
Ten years are gonel Today we ask,
What has their passing brought to us?
what have we doneY No need to speak:
The answers writ on hearts and lives.
such record fatters not nor yet,
Depreciates the good or i'll.
What are we doing In the nowP
The harvest bends and we're 8t work
In youthful inexpeTience.
Yet zeal 10 ours; and none will scorR
mat AID who knows Its power. And while
we work we trust in God for strength.
And trusting makes us strong and makes
pe happy-so we sing and Who'll
Wno mus FAR have not owned Him Lord,
Yet love our songs and join to sing
Ais praise, and 30 we pray Tor those
Outside the fold, that yet look in
With hungry eYeR, at those who rest
In that blest shelter. Father may
The hand that points and qlgo Leads
The way, be grasped by all who here
have Joined our song and heard us speak
Of Thee-and may they read as we
Have done and find thy Word lamp,
Ipy Jaw their stan and guide. And so
we read and sing, and pray, and work,
AND trust and thus are best
What shall we dog Our lives shall speak
The answer. What We hope TO do
ls thistle lift this town and hold
~ nearer heaven; IN human lives
To put the quickening leaven-to aRd
New soil and In It plant the seed
Ihat makes the harvest God'e-to ploW
The vacant sod, the Father pray
That In His plying love the rain
He send ite barren thirst to auench
And that the sunshine of His smile
Bring life and Light where once was death.
You say we're hopefulP Yes indeed
we are. Who has more right 10 hope
Than does the Christian? What Christian
Has more right to hope than wef
The Logan Pioniersh be this
Tner fame, that while they lived they worked
anu SsSyeu Oy GODS own strength, they pray.
And Sung and saved in Jesus name.
For quiet western town Logan
occasionally enjoys some very agree
able surprises. The Polymnia Glee
Club recently gave a very enjoyable
consisting of choice selec-
lion of solos, Duets, and chorus mum.
OersL They were assisted by Mrs. J.
u. Brodmarkls of Concordia, an elo-
,utionist of more than ordinary abil-
ty, and Mrs. Gertrude Dunnlng of
Logan, her pupil; whose renditions
were we'll received. The concert was
! rare trest to the people of Logan,
and our people are proud of the local
