Sunday, morning and evening. W
the morning service Mr.. Whitman
spoke from the text, "All things work
together for good to them that love
God, and in the evening from the
words, "Behold the man. 8" The i'm.
preston made by the new pastor was
most favorable. A successful and

Week after next there will be an ex-
hibit of pictures in the hall of the
new school building. These pictures
are reproductions of the most famous
paintings of the greatest artists. The
exhibit is to be under the auspices of
the public schools, the primary object
being to raise money to beautify and
adorn the schoolrooms of the public
schools by the purchase of some of
the reproductions of the worlds mas
terpieces. The secondary object is to
educate the children of the schools
and the public as well, by giving them
an opportunity to see so fine collec-
tion of pictures. The educational val
ne of good pictures can hardly be
over estimated and it is fully ac-
knowledged today in the school and
in the home. The pictures are from
the Soule Photograph Co., of Boston.
The exhibit has been held in many
cities with great success. The plan
is to have the school children sell
tickets, the price for children below
fifteen being ten cents and for older
persons, fifteen cents. A part of the
receipts goes to the public schools to
be used for the purchase of pictures.
Every child should see these pictures
and the public in general should not
miss this oppc rtunity. All who are
interested in the schools can help
much in this way to beautify the
school rooms and to educate the chill
dren, so much of whose life is spent
in our public schools. 1t is earnestly
hoped that our citizens will respond
to this worthy cause
