Dear Endeavorers of Southwest Dis
trict:-As our convention dates draw
near ! feel that | ought TO tell you of

cured for you. 1t is our aim to make
this the very best convention ever
held in the district. In order to ac-
complish this end we must have num-
bers. That means that You must be
there. No speaker is euthused or in
spired by empty seats. Come and
bring some enthusiastic worker with
you. This is the first requisite.
The second is like unto it. We
must have good speakers, enthusiast
tic, consecrated and loyal servants of
Jesus Christ. These, | think, we
have scared.

new resolves of loyalty to the service
of our master There will be present,
we have every reason to believe, three
of our state officers, Misses Jackson
and Brown aud Mr.. Boswell. Miss
Jackson and Mr.. Boswell have been
asked to answer questions for 30-45
minutes, so come prepared to dc
your part. If you care to improve
your society, ask them how. Bring
list of questions prepared before
hand and keep them exceedingly busy
while they are there.
Then after the Seniors have haC
their share of the time there will be
something for the Juniors to do
Miss Brown is an enthusiastic worker
and Miss Alcorn says in letter to me
Il expect TO make the Junior hour
better than any other session. A
splendid spirit and guarantee OF {
splendid convention.
MIR. Kolb will again conduct the
singing and this is also guarantee
that no one will fail to follow where
he leads.
Lastly, a favorite expression will
minister, we will have a grand clos
ing sermon, a deep spiritual address
a fitting climax to the foregoing pro

ready. You certainly will be there
won't you? You really cannot affor'
to not be there.
There will be plenty of time to ge

4 STORM
OF SEVERITY.
Lancaster Visited bu DeIuge OF Rain
and an Undesirable Quantity OF
Lightning.
Considerable Damage Resulted.

Lancaster was visited by severe
rain and electrical storm Friday
morning. Vivid flashes of lightning
followed by deafening peals OF thunder
awoke citizens early and was the
cause of fright among those who do
not particularly fancy such boisterous
display of the elements. Several
Instances of lightning's work have
been reported. Albert Block in all
probability suffered the greatest pc
cuniary loss. He resides about mile
west of the city and recently COM
pleted a new barn. 1t was filled with
hay and stood in the way of a. bolt of
electricity by which it was fired and
so completely destroyed that it is diff
fcult to locate the spot upon which
it stood.
w. j. Brennan's law office in the
Wright block was also visited.
Lightning came in ION the telephone
line and spit fire all about the rear
apartments where Census Enumeration

duced that an alarm was turned in
and the fire BELLS clang was heard
above the roar of the storm. BY
prompt action the incipient blaze was
extinguished in its infancy before any
great damage resulted.
A bolt descended upon VIM. Joec-
kel's residence and struck the porch
roof, leaving its mark but producing
no flame.
At County Supt. Nye's the light

followed it to the corner of the house

/ moment in that immediate vicinity.
HI. G. Nathsn's barn was a victim
also and the roof was on fire at one
time. The blaze was discovered in
time to prevent its spreading and
was soon put out.
The rain came down in perfect
torrents for hours and lowlands were
overlooked with high water as a re-
