Farewell Services.

Rev. Frank s. Lyon closed his two
and half year pasIorate OF the First
Baptist church In this city Sunday.
At both services large and attentive
congregations were present., the even
ing congregation numbering eight
hundred. Pastor Lyon preached, two
strong, helpful sermons fitting con-
clusiOn to the vigorous gospel dis
courses he has delivered since coming
to Owosso. The music was appro-
pirate to the occasion and added much
to the impressi veness of the services.
Miss Dean sang the offertory solo In
the morning In the evening solos
were sung by Mrs. Echlirg, of New
York City, and Miss Lyon. The duet
ia the morning anthem was sung by
Pastor Lyon and daughter, Miss Lyon.
Their voices blend tremendously and
Mr.. Lyons voice will be missed from
the choir as we'll as from the pulpit.
The following is brief synopsis Of
Pastor Lyons morning sermon: Text,
Matthew 1925, "Lo, 1 am with you
always, even unto the end of the
world"
No words were ever spoken which
made a deeper impression or proven
so mighty an inspiration to life and
action as these words of the text.
When Jesus died the disappointment
OF the disciples was very great, and
doubtless many times during the day
or two which followed the crucifixion
they said: 'If we could only have
kept Him. We hoped that it was He
who should redeem Israel" In the
midst of their darkness He came to
them and assured them of His never
failing presence.
In these, his words, we have the
pledge of power and success to his
people In all ages. These are good
words for the sorrowful and the glad !;
the weak and the strong, the poor
and rich; the old and young. He is In
the Word, the spirit and In the lives
of the redeemed, a "real presence. T"
Indeed, more real than any other.
The analysis of the real presence of
Jesus Christ Is found In that which
He becomes to every trusting soul.
We find the statement of the analysis
In Cor. 1:30, "But Of Him are ye in
Christ Jesus, who was made unto US
wisdom from God, and righteousness,
and sanctification and redemption.
The Master gives us the certificate
OF the promise OF the text, after His
resurrection, in His words to the weep.

promise be fulfilled to every one Of us.

The greatest gain will it be noticed, Is
among the men who are so largely rep
resented in Owosso, and to whom the
Association aims to be of the greatest
value.
In field like ours, the Association
should so adapt itself to needs and con-
ditions as shall make its value beyond
question, and which this in mind, the
greatest membership campaign in our
history was undertaken last spring,
when visits were made to the different
shops and factories, and in personal
canvass, 1875 new members were secur-
ed. The high tide of membership was
reached May 81, when $50 names were
on our lists.
Such a canvass can be recommended
for any season. and we may confidently
expect equally as good results another
year.
In this review of the past year have
endeavored to present facts that show
the practical nature of the work done,
and the desire that the new year shall
have greater record. All that has
been done for the young men, it is ours
to do for the boy, but we are confronted
not with the opportunities fer broader
work, but on account of our limited ac-
comodations to retrenchment rather
than expansion, unless we shall see the
realization of our hopes-the building
fully equipped for the perfect training
of the young men and the younger men
the boy--in body and mind and soul,
in the likeness of Him, whose we are
and whom we serve.

Already the feet of the winter fly,
And the pulse of the earth begins

Waking up from her frozen sleep,
And knowing the beautiful spring

Good ST. Valentine wanders by,
Pausing his festival gay to keep
Already the feet of the winter fly,
And the pulse of the earth begins to

To life she wakes; and smile and a

Language the scoffer holds so

Thrill her with melody dear and

And spring with its mating time is

Already the feet of the winter fly,
And the pulse of the earth begins to

ments; visits to all rooms, for all pur-

These figures are the largest in the
history of the Association, and who can
tell the value of such a place of resort
to the young men of Owosso, who have
given so large an attendance to these
rooms? The figures given a year ago
were: Rooms open days, 344; average
daily attendance, 112; total attendance,
80, 1856.
OUR MEMBERSHIP: While it has
been gratifying to look at the results of
the work, so far as figures can show
them, it is with greater pleasure that
we consider some facts concerning our
membership.
The question has been raised by some
as to whether the Association was reach
ing the large number of employed
men in this city, and whether those
who were members used the privileges.
We have tried to answer the last query
first, in the figures given above, but
this attendance would not have been as
large as it is, were it not that our mem
bership had grown, AMI it is interesting
to notice where the greatest increase has
been and its present constitution.

of William Allison. 81 years of age, who
died after ten days Illness, apparently
from Inflammation of the stomach. The
young man had said he had been pois-

a most peculiar displacement of the in

The operators found an opening
through the diaphragm and a dilated
stomach, nearly three times it's normal
size, completely filling the left side of
the thoracic cavity, taking the place of
the left lung. There was no left lung,
only a small rudimentary lung. about
one inch thick and three inches square.
Lying under the stomach was found

with the appendix attached in its usual

WILL ERECT
DWELLINGS
Mrs. N. B. HOIbrOOk Property on
Idaho and Chambers Streets
to Have Four

Mrs. N. B. Holbrook of Juliaetta will
begin the erection of four new dwelling
houses on her property at the corner
of Idaho and Chambers streets, soon
after the first of the year.
Mr.. F. c. Holbrook was in the city
yesterday and stated that the growing
demand for residences in Lewiston de-
termined his mother to have plans
made, and that work on the buildings
would begin as soon as bids could be
secured for the construction.
The property is 200 feet square and
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1903-12-23

lies just south of the Episcopal church.
The dwellings will consist of one five
room house, two six-room houses and
the corner property will contain one
seven-room house. The houses will be
for rent but it is possible that Mrs.
Holbrook may come here to reside in
the future in which event she will oc-
cupy the seven-room house.
Mr.. Holbrook states that plans are
being considered for the erection of
some kind of a business house on their
property on the corner of "B" and
Third streets. The property at this
place is 60x100 and Mr.. Holbrook states
they have not as yet determined what
kind of buildings will be erected.

was located on the lower right side of
the thoracic cavity, extending parallel
and next to the spinal column between
the second and fifth ribs
The right lung was not normal size.
There is no question but that the an
atomical malformation of the different
organs had existed from infancy The
young man had never been i'll and this
is the reason his peculiar condition had
never been discovered. The case is
believed to be one of the most remark
able in the history of surgery.

CAMERON, Dec. 23.-There will be

to the needs of pupils below the ninth

News reached here Monday that Fred
Hechtner one of the earliest settlers of
this prairie. had committed suicide.
The cause is thought to be domestic
troubles. Until few years ago Mr..
Hechtner seemed to one of the hap

but of late he had been drinking hard
and had a melancholy disposition.
