the finale left to her hearers the dis
tinct recollection of something great
er. 1t was an evening of song un-
surpassable since the early triumphs
of Madame Patti.
AS classic song event the visit
of Madame Gadski was an over
whelming success. AS a society func-
ton the entertainment was superb.
The brilliant costume creations of the
artist were fttingly met with the
beautiful gowns of Spokane's magnifi-
Gently dressed society leaders. Wealth
and beauty did homage to genius in
fashion glorious and dazzling.
Madame Gadski was ably assisted
in her recital by Herr Selman Negro
WITT, whose piano solos won applause
from a critical audience.
The program was divided into three
parts, each of which was heightened
by the gracious response Of Madame
Gadski to enthusiastic encores. The
best received of the numbers, per-
haps, were "Aus Menen Grossen
Schmerzen," The Earl King" and
"Dich Theure Halle" from Wagner's
TannhauSer.
Interspersed for encores were sim,
pie songs which demonstrated to her
audience the artistic versatility Of the
artist To her hearers Madame Cad
ski will ever live in memory as the
greatest of the great artists of the
song world.
The financial success of the Gadski
visit has won many enconiums for
the managerial ability displayed by
Wynn ID. S. Conan, whose exceptional
work in bringing together a society
gathering and world famous artist
is deserving of the highest praise.

There are two definite ideals that every
society may well set before Itself;
First, larger numbers. more active

honorary members. Junior society in
every church These are all possible
There is not a society In the world that
may not increase It's membership from
10 to 900 per cent within year.
Second. better members Let quality g0
with quantity. They need never be sep.
arated. Never say quality and no;
quantity" but quality and quantity.

toes. better service for the church, better
union work.

Topic.--Our partncsship and fellowship
- Cor. xii 2s-st; xii. l-l2
BY REV. S. q. DOYLE.
The Christian life has ulaay great
and precious advantages. Iine OF the
most precious of these Is Christian fcl-
bwship in service and In feeling In
Christ all Christians are one They
are most intimately related, having
God as their common Father and
Christ as their elder Brother. The re-
suit, therefore, is that every Christian
Is joined to every other Christian. TIE
glorious deeds OF the past are eur COM
mon heritage. and we have part IN
the work of the Christian world today
We are colaborers with tod. hut also
fellow workers. and should meet the
obligations and duties OF this relation
ship as well as enjoy its advantages
and privileges.
Christians are partners. They are
associated together in the WORK OF the
Lord. All Christians have part IN
the Lords work. ITO every man his
WORK was the teaching OF Christ But,
moreover. there Is what we may call
a division of labor. God has given Off
ferent abilities to different people, that
His work may be intellleently and sys-
tematicaliy done. In the early church
some were apostles, some prophets,
etc. Had all been apostles the other
phases of work would not have been
done The same principle holds good
today There are diverslties of gifts
and consequent diversities of labor
and, whether our gifts are exalted OF
humble, we should do our work faith
fully, without pride and without envy.
for thus only can all Gods work be
done In the world.
Christians have fellowship one with
another They are Joined In heart as
well as in hand No sweeter fellow
ship exists in the world than that
which exists among the people OF God.
The tie that binds Christians together
q love, the best of an gifts.
BEST be the tie that binds
Our hearts In Christian love.
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
The importance of Christian fellow
ship is very great The work of life Is
made easier to perform. its burdens
easier to bear and its temptations cas-
Ter to overcome if we enjoy close fel-
lowship with the people OF God.
Therefore let US cultivate fellowship
by developing the sentiment of love ia
our own hearts and in the hearts Of
others. Envy, jealousy. pride and II!
feeling never result in fellowship. Il
IA those who love one another that en-
Joy association and service together.
II love predominant In church, fellow
ship and sociabillty win exist, for peo-
pie who love one another delight in
each others companionship but with
out love successful partnership and
true fellowship are impossible.
