The Rainbow social given by the
Y. P. T. G. E. last Friday evening at
the First Congregational church was
very enjoyable affair. The Ladies'
Quartette was rendered in true Quaker
fashion, while the duet by Messrs.O. H
| Greene and Gale Smith was most
laughable production, and the solo by
George Christianson is beyond ex-
preston. We understand that the
young people are arranging to favor
us again at an early date. Miss Edna
Wells of Spokane, is to be with lis on
May 9th to favor us with musical
recital under the auspices OF the
Ladies' Aid. Miss Wells is so we'll
and favorably known in this neighbor-
hood that we bespeak for her an ap-
preciative audience. Last Sundays
session OF the Sunday school was
rendered specially interesting by the
presentation of handsome, solid silver
stars to those scholars whose attend
ance was perfect for the past quarter.
Mr.. w. II. Martin is making fine

o'clock.
A large audience listened to an able
sermon from DIR. Brown Sunday eve
ming at the Methodist Episcopal
church. His subject Was the two
foundations: "Faith in Christ or
Skepticism." The subject was ably
and pleasingly handled. The quar-

ming was well after ded and business
was promptly attended to. The pas
tor was granted one months rest from
preaching providing lie considers best
TO observe it. The Epworth League

meeting led by Miss Bessie English.
