The First Congregational church Of
Lincoln celebrated its twenty first ami

Sunday morning Mr.. Gregory reviewed
the history Of the church from the be-

days of Lincoln and Nebraska.
Monday evening the celebration con
cluded with a banquet and toasts, at the
conclusion of which Mr.. Gregory was
presented with silver troy for an ink
stand and an ink bottle with the NOR o.
gram IL c. engraved upon the cover
and pen tray. On the large tray is an
engraving Of the church and Iectory.
During the feast the Hagenau string
quartet played in the little balcony over

church. On Sunday morning and eve

the church did not flourish and il passed

are new additions TO the chorus and the
freshness and sweetness of their voices
in the solo parts is delightful. The fol
lowing is Mr.. GregOry's historical sermon
from The text: "Ye know from the first

These are the opening words of
Paurs address to the officers OF the
church of Ephesus, an address in which
he briefly reviews their mutual labors;
encourages them to face the unknown
future: eXhorts them 20 loving care
over all the interests of the church: and
commends them Ito God and the word
of His grace" This address is a precious
revelation of the intimate, tender, sac
red relation in which the apostle stood
to the people, to whom he 50 long min
i-tered. His sermon is a rich legacy TO
the church in all ages and in all lands.

A PIONEER CHURCH.
The early days OF this church have a
special interest because its organization
antedates both the city and state. Its his
tory carries Us back to pioneer times
The first white resident of the county
Is said to have settled on the banks
OF Salt creek. on what H. now Center
willie. in June, 1856. At this time the coun-
try had not been surveyed. During the
next five years few families moved in
here and there on inviting spots near
Waverly and Yankee Hill. They led a
prccarious existence, disputing with the
Indians the right of possession.
In 1857 the homestead law was passed.
Among the first settlers under IL was
John ;. Gregory. sr.. the first deacon
of this church. His first stop was at =
roofiess and tioor!ess log cabin on the
margin of the salt basin. The cabin had
been erected by Hon. J. Sterling Morton
as "A premption claim. but was desolate
and deserted. Mr.. Gregory built a dug
out I'm which he lived. He furnished salt
to the Rocky mountain freighters at 2
or 3 cents pound. The next year Lam
caster county was organized. Mr.. Greg
DRY was made chairman of the board OF
county commissioners. He also succeed
ed in having a postofhce established,
named Gregory Basin" of which he was
appointed postmaster at yearly salary
of 49, with an extra sl2 for bringing the
mail from Saltillo, then In Clay county.

Have you ever noticed the difference in
the way in which two men will drive a
horse? One man will get the best speed,
the longest service. the greatest effort,
without a particle of strain or friction,
from the animal he drives. The other
man will get less work and less results,
and yet have the horse in a tremOr OF
nervousness and a lather of foam. There
is Just such a difference between medi-
cines for the liver Some medicines and
the majority of them,-start the liver in

all the good of the medicine is counteract-

overhung the water Of a mill stream.
The miller said that it was not an un-
usual circumstance. SCme mcnths ago
The Field told CT other rabbits which
had been shot, like raccoons or opos-
sums, cut Of trees in England. IN re-
cent years cases Of rabbits in trees have
been reported with increasing frequency.
From Australia has come the most re-
markable story of rabbits us climbers.
The only way in which rabbits could be
kept out Of certain tracts of land in
Australia was by the building Of wire
fences about them, the fences having
meshes so small that the beasts could
not crawl through and being so high
that they could not jump over The rab
bits have clawed at the wires until their
nails gradually have become hooked.
Some Of the rabbits learned TO scale the
fences, and then great additional ex-
pense was necessary, for the top of the
fence had to be bent over like J up,

give decent interment to those who
have led less honorable lives and end

can do to these unfortunate classes OF
our citizens to give them six feet of
their native soil as quiet resting place
after bitter struggle in life, and to
modestly mark the place of their burial
