 The first meeting of the season of the Mems club of Grand Avenue Congre- gational church was held in the church parlors last evening, T. S. Coleman, the president gave an address welcom- ling the members upon resuming their meetings, and he said he hoped the meetings would be helpful in doing good, as well as helping intellectually and socially. Rev, Dr. Sheath offered prayer. George Sheath was called on and gave two baritone solos and was warmly applauded.
 The question of holding a ladies' night reception and entertainment was discussed and it was proposed to hold such gathering later in the season. The question for discussion was How Can We Best Remedy the Existing Evil of Certain Local Disturbances? Pres- ident Coleman referred to one evil as that of holding wedding receptions in Polar Star hall after marriages had taken place in churches in this city on the Sabbath. "Then then come over here for their receptions" he contin- ued. "And as it Is now quite dry weather, they bring with them, or have ] in the hall, something which has foam on it. Now the question comes up of whether we have right to interfere. don't believe they really mean to cause disturbance, but yet 1t is a question of whether 1t is not our duty to agitate this question. We are re- sponsible to certain extent for the observance of the Sabbath in this com munity,"
 Dr, Sheath said he was not certain how the law effected this question. He would say, however, that there was a laxity in regard to the observance of the Sabbath, In walking over to the east side on Sunday, he said he count ed ten stores which were open and one club room where billiards or pool were being played. In one of the places school material was being sold, and there was more or less of loaflng. The use of Polar Star hall for Italian wed- ding receptions, with their bands of music, and dancing and drinking is becoming a disturbance, he said We all rejoice that we do not have the saloon in the school and the church section And the question comes up as to what we can do in stopping the bad effect of these hall receptions on the Sabbath. But we can certainly keep Iagitating. We can agitate 1t in the pulpit, in these meetings and in our homes. do not believe in the con- | tinaf1t0I no | he comes to this country should not expect to bring all his customs with him and violate our laws. He should 1 learn to be obedient to the laws of the country, If their customs are quiet and orderly, all right. If a wedding can be observed in quiet and orderly man. ner on Sunday, all right. But where 1 1t becomes a public affair and is a disturbance, then it is a serious ques- tion can't see why 1t Is legal for a candy and ice cream store to be allowed open on the Sabbath when shoe store and a grocery store and a grocery store can't be open. l can't see why 1t | is all right to bring twenty kegs or beer into a hall and give it away at a wedding reception on Sunday when the saloon can't keep open. Secretary Evarts said at the Centennial that the Bible and the Sabbath were the bull warks of this country. We should cre- ate a sentiment in the right direction in this matter"
 L. L. Bradley, MT. Tibbals, MT, soder- berg, F. E. Fowler, w. S. Bishop and others. Mr. Bradley thought that it would be a good plan to appoint a committee to confer with the Italian priest and the owner of Polar Star hall and see what could be done; and this opinion was quite generally &C., quiesced in. It was also proposed to get up a petition In favor of having the hall closed on Sundays for all we'd ding receptions. Report will be made at the next meeting.
