n BEDIENCE-what Is obedience?
u Aboubeker, the successor Of Ms
,homet, in order that he might continue
his conquests. wrote to Amrou, one Of
his followers, ordering him to levy .
number Of warriors among his tEibes
and conduct them to Damascus to swell
the torrent Of Islamism. Amrou, who
governed in peace his shepherd tribes,
received this order with pain, but he did
not hesitate to obey. Il am" he sent
back word to the caliph, zone Of the ar
rows Of Islamism; God has placed the
bow in thy hand; 1t is for thee to launch
the arrow to what destination thou may
est choose" Here was admirable obedi-
ence. Amrou might have yielded ODE
dience In every other relation which he
sustained to his chief and yet he would
have failed il he had refused to grant
this special request. Here was the test
as to whether or not he was an obedient
follower of Aboubeker. Can we think
that God would demand less than an
earthly ruler? II We reject Christ and
His claims upon us, We reject all. II We
refuse to obey the supreme call Of God
to believe on His son as the Saviour Of
the world, and the One who can. cleanse
from all sin, obedience in minor points
will avail US nothing. The way Of bless
ing is along the pathway Of obedience.
Jesus Is the doorway to that pathway,
and as we surrender our lives to Him,
as we steadfastly follow His leading, We
shall realize the blessing which God
alone can give and which He will give
II we will but fulfill His conditions Oh.
that we all may seek the way Of bless
ing!

something which was alike enjoyed BY
the ungodly in common with the SER
wants of God? There is no doubt that
Godliness is profitable in all things and
gives heightened life here, but the few
months or years which could be added to
ones earthly career could hardly be
held to fulfill Gods promise OF life. But
eternal life rs a reward of obedience to
Gods will seems more in keeping with
the character and purpose Of God. When
God then says to you and me: Observe
to do as the Lord your God commands
you that We may live He means to offer
us nothing less than continuous life with
Him.

WOMAN "coN." WORKER.
Local Authorities on Lookout for
Smooth Female.

Notice was received last week by
the local authorities to be On their
guard for woman the police of Liv-
ingston were anxious to get into their
clutches. The charge against her was
said to be larceny, although it seem
ed that if guilty of any offense the
woman had been obtaining goods un-
der false pretense.
It was said that she had victimized
number of Livingston merchants,
and all in the same manner. Her game
was to visit stores and select such
articles as took her fancy, which she
then asked to be permitted to take
ito her home ON the pretense that she
wished to show them to her husband
before finally taking them. She claim.
ed to be a resident of the city and
so plausible were her manners that
she apparently had but little difficulty
in securing what she desired. 1t was
only after she had failed to return
at the appointed time that the vic,
tins began to be suspicious. Inquiry
satisfied them that the woman was a
frand and a warrant for her arrest
was issued. She could not be found
and notice was sent to the surround
ing towns and cities Search failed
to establish the fact that she had in
cluded Billings among the places Sc
lected by her for working her game,
for nothing of her presence here could
be ascertained.

pointed to ascertain the names OF
those present who would go to Helena
as delegates if named, and that the
report thus submitted be acted upon
by the convention; third, that Is dele
gates and Is alternates be elected:
fourth, adjournment. Adopted.
Having been left to his discretion,
Chairman Amin appointed G. NJ Bair,
Paul Mccormick and e. p. Searles
committee to learn the names OF
those prepared to attend the state con-
vention, in case of their election To
permit the commiUtee to do it's work
properly a recess was taken. Pre-
vious to the recess Doctor Rinehart
made a short speech in which he said
that inasmuch as Billings had been
hOnored to the extent of being Sc
lected as the place for holding the
fall convention it was desired that as
large a delegation as possible from
this county attend the first.
These Were Elected.
When the committee announced it's
labor finished Mr.. Amin called the
convention to order again and the
following names were reported as
having signifed their intention of att
tending the state convention, subject
to the pleasure of the convention then
in session: C.. M. Bair, F. H. Hath
horn, G. G. Bever, Christian Yegen, G.

POSTPONED THEIR TRIP.
Billings Eagles Will Not Visit For
syth Till Saturday.


Although all arrangements had been
made for large delegation of local
Eagles to visit Forsyth last Saturday,
the event did not occur and is now
underlined for next Saturday.
The postponement was made neces-
sary because of the inability of the
district deputy, Finley McRea of Hell
ena, to be present to institute the aerie,
MIR. McRea was Obliged to go to Gar
diner, at which place an aerie was
instituted last Saturday afternoon and
evening. In order to accommodate
the many members of the order from
Livingston who wished to be present
at the affair, special train was
run. 0.--
A request was made of the Billings
team by the prospective Eagles of
Forsyth to visit that town yesterday
and carry out the programme prepared
for last Saturday, but so many were
unable to leave that it was decided
to postpone the institution until next
Saturday, when Mr.. McRea will arrive
from the west and accompany the
local representatives and direct their
work of making fledglings of the For
sythians. 1t is now believed that the
number of those who will go from
here will be much larger than if the
original plain had been executed. Sew
eral who could not leave then have
arranged to go next Saturday.

METHoplsTs FIND THEMSELVES
FREE OF DEBT.
Event A MEMORABLE ONE
Sunday's Anniversary and Rally Long
to Be Remembered in Con-
gregation's History.

Only the capacity of the church
itself limited the number of those
who attended the services held last
Sunday by the MeshodisIts ia com
memoration of the Goth anniversary
of the organization of the society. Beth
morning and evening every possible
bit of space was occupied, while many
who could not gain entrance content
ed themselves with remaining outside
near the open doors and listening as
best they could.
AS result of the great attendance
and the enthusiasm aroused when
the final benediction was pronounced
at night more than enough money had
been subscribed to clear the church OF
debt and leave it free of all incum-
brances. 1t was an achievement to be
proud of, to lift an Indebtedness of
$4,000, on building and organ, in one
day, and that by congregation no
larger.
To do this had been the fcndest
hope entertained by the society, but
it's actual accomplishment was con-
sidered task easier entertained than
accomplished. Counsel was had and
the conclusion arrived ait to make the
anniversary celebration the occasion
for. supreme effort. What success
followed has already been stated. Per
haps it is only just to say that had it
not been for the work of Joseph w.
Powell, who is noted throughout Meth
odism all over the land as man who
can persuade pocketbool1s to be open
ed and generous donations made in
response to urgent appeal, it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether Sundays ef-
fort would have proved as successful
as it did. The gentleman has a way
about him that seems to be irresist-
able and no one can say MIN may when
he asks.
Day Fully Occupied.
The sacred edifice had been beauti-
fully and lavishly decorated for the
important event and special music
had been provided tor the occasion.
At the morning services the presiding
elder, the Reverend George D. King,
led in prayer and was followed with
an anthem by the choir. Chaplain
Stull read the lesson from the scrip
ture, after which Miss Sophia Bennig-
hoff rendered solo, The sermon was
delivered by the Reverend R. P. Smith
of Helena. At the conclusion Mr.
Powell spoke and made clear the need
of more money than the congregation
