Christian Church Notes.

The offerings OF the scholars at
tenuing the Bible school are very en-
oouraging.
In these notes we hope soon to be
able to announce the title of the new
song book selected for use at the Au.
dubon Township church.
The cold weather last Sunday did
not materially affect the number
present either at the Bible school or
the regular church services.
Both the Endeavor societies are
looking up. The Juniors held fine
session Sunday afternoon and in the
evening the Seniors had large and
enthusiastic meeting.
"The Book of Books and How to
Read It-an Illustrated Sermon" will
be delivered on Sunday morning.
Subject in the evening: What the
Bible Has to Say for ITSELF"
The large attendance of young men
at both the churches is subject for
devout congratulation. They listen
well and always behave like gentle
men. On Sunday night, in town,
their presence is an inspiration.
The new topic cards for the Senior
Endeavor society came to the post
Office last Sunday, but as the preach
or never goes for the mail on that
day the package remained there un-
til Monday morning. The cards are
in every respect complete and cannot
fail of being a great help to all inter-
ested in the work of the society.
At the Audubon Township church
/ on Sunday afternoon the sheep were
conspicuous by their absence, evil

keep away the shepherd. 10 that,
however, they were mistaken. The
fires being good, he fed the faithful

Learning The Sheep Biz.

Says I one day to Bucky
'How are you fixed for men?
I'd like to learn the sheep biz
AS soon as ever / can."
Says he, Cali right sir, Sonny,
Go up and see Dan Crum;
He'll fix you out, I'm certain,
Just as soon as you can come"
So up I goes to Crummie's
And says 1, "See here, old man,
l want to learn the sheep biz
just as soon ns ever 1 can."
"All right" says he, "sir Sonny,
If you want to 60 out today
Just straddle old Antelope here;
He'll take you out right away"
So I got into the saddle
And rode till almost dark.
Finally / came to q sheep camp
And 1 knew twas Bally Clark's.
Now the why we call him Bally
He's like Old Uncle Ned,
For he has no hair to speak of
On the top of his old bald head.
But to him we don't say "Bally, D
II we did he'd break our neck
For you know his real name
Is "Mister Clark Beck"
But returning to my story
About learning sheep;
The very next morning
l was in it neck Deep"
Now Clark says he, tomorrow
You take this bunch of lambs,
And if the coyotes bother
You want to be on hand.
Now don't have any mix ups,
For as certain as you do
You know you being a tenderfoot
They'll say the blame's on you"
Well, I watched them very closely
just about all day,
So I'd know that I was certain
That none had got away.
I was surprised to see bunch
Down among the rocks.
Thinks I, they re mine, by jingo,
For the brand it is a box.
Says I, "You go and get EN-, Shep
You brave and noble dog,
Will have to watch more careful
While there's such heavy fog"
just then here comes Bill Bennett
A driving an old eve. 49,
Says he, "Hello, there, Sonny,
You see which way my sheep go?"
Says I, "Naw, Bill, didn't,
And I've been here all day;
But 1 picked up a big bunch
OF mine that got away"
Says he, "You'v We gone and done it
That bunch of sheep are mine;
And you've gone and mixed 'em
And mixed 'em good and tine."
Says I, Nav, Bill, I didn't,
That surely couldn't be,
For the brand / noted closely
Was box and letter c."
Says Bill, "Our brands the same
But the diff is this, you know:
You have got the lamb bunch,
And mine are all old ewes"
Well, Bill and [ were sorry,
And didn't know what to do;
But finally we decided
To cut the bunch in two.
Well, ever since the mix up
I've been working for O'Brien
I'm still learning the business
And getting along most fine.
