The Church Aid Society are to have
an entertainment and sale in the near
future to raise money to try to retain
our standing as a civilized community.
1t was part of our juvenile education
that the gospel precedes civilization,
and without some extra effort by the
ladies who compose the Church Aid So
ciety, there seems to be danger that
though the Saviour said the laborer was
worthy of his hire, he is not likely to
get Ii much longer here. Therefore we
hope all good citizens will patronize our
entertainment when 1t comes, time of
which will receive due notice in this
column. A beautiful sofa pillow is one
of the articles to be sold and one of the
following ladies will receive it: Mrs.
M. G. Pfeble, Mrs. V. d. Sweetland or
Mrs. j. M. Hinckley. Miss Annie
Emery will solicit votes for Mrs. Hinck-
lev, Miss Ina Emery for Mrs. Sweetland,
and Mrs. Leslie Hoyt for Mrs. Preble.
The money will be used toward paying
for preaching. Mrs. Wayland Leighton
will receive votes in her store and they
will be credited as directed.
