The name of our church sug-
gested the brief remarks for last
Sunday morning. 1t is interest
ing to look up the mention of
Bethany in the Bible. Jesus was
there much. There we see Jesus
in the home. We can hardly
think of Bethany and not remem-
Der that it was a hOme-place. So
it is intended that Bethany
Church shall be a home church to
all who sOjOurn in Pike as we'll
as to all who dwell here.
1t is a grand conception set
forth by the Roman Catholic
Church that the church is the
of all her true children.
The church is that, and more.
1t is the spiritual home on earth |
Of all who sincerely enter the
circle thus formed in Christ's
name.
Much as the mother repre-
sents and suggests in the life of
he home, still no mother can
make a home in all it's fullness
md beauty. A home is bereft
the strength of father,
the brightness of a child.
The ideal home has father, mother
ind child; each is needed, and
here is a place for each in the
rue home at it's best.
So with our church home, the
Bethany Church. The fathers and
Mothers and children have united
n forming it. Each one has a
place to fill. There is need that
ZACH fill their place. If one, even
he smallest and the weakest
neglect his or her part, our
hurch is the loser because of it.
Shall we not make this second
ear of our church life a year
marked by the fact that each is
IOing their individual part for
he success of our common work.
f each does something for the .
ommOn good even though is seems
mall by itself, that which we '
hall accomplish together will be {
reat and glorious. Is it not {
yorth an effort? {

Signed GENERAL PUBLIC
For long time the reporter has
allowed his modesty to keep him
silent regarding the activities of the
noble little church whose fires are
not quenched by winters SHOWS,
and whose enthusiasm is not cooled
by the stormy blasts that come
sweeping over the hills. Our church
is not dead, it still lives. Its light
has not gone out, it still shines.
It's bell still peals out it's call to
worship, and a goodly portion of the
village population on Sunday morn
ings gather within it's walls to pay
their homage to the Most High.
A few evening ago we had our
annual roll call. Dea. Adams, who
has adorned the office of deacon for
a number of years, was elected to
succeed himself to the same office.
Our genial and efficient clerk, Mr.
E. N. Heaton, who for nearly 30
years has filled that office, was re-
elected, and we hope for many
years to come will continue to keep
our records.
Mr.. Heaton, who is also organist,
was, on Christmas eve, presented
with a nice chair, the gift Of the
choir.
The Ladies' Missionary Society
and the Ladies' Benefit Society,
gave through their secretaries, Mrs.
c. e. Douglass and Mrs. Thomas
Terhune, very encouraging reports.
The total amount given for beneV-
olences we believe is somewhat
above the average for some of the
former years. The reporter does
not have the exact figure for the
year, but remembers that last year
our church gave about $4,000
in benevolences.
The 5. ). had its annual election
of officers last Sunday and reelected
Dea. Adams as Supt., with Dea.
Douglass as assistant.
The new president of the C. E.
Society, Mr.. W. E. Waterman, is
planning a year Of aggressive work.
We have strong young peoples
society, which under the enthusiast
tic leadership of Mr.. Waterman,
ought to render to the church
and to God, a most excellent service.
Then, too, we are catching the
evangelistic spirit, or rather it is
being kindled anew within our
hearts. Next week, commencing
Monday the 18th, and continuing
until Friday the 18th, we will have
a special service of meetings. On
and Friday evening we
are to have the eloquent pastor of |
the Congregational church at Brad
ford, the Rev. H. J. Kilbourn, with
us. Mr. Kilbourn is gaining
as a clear and forceful
and those who will hear
lin next week, will listen to an i'm
but sane presentation
Of the old gospel, which glistens
with new beauties each time it is
odd. We are not yet sure who
will preach the other evenings of
the seven, but hope to know in
lay or two.
Already we are full of the spirit
Of the eVangel in the air. Let us
pray and work for a weighty out
pouring of Gods spirit forth for
The next few days.

she was too late. Two aunts

minister to his comfort. The
funeral was attended at the home
of his parents Thursday after

"good will to all" during the whole

best of our lives.

of the plans of the battleship Nebraska

it is especially desired to keep secret
Officials Of the bureau of construction
said yesterday that practically every
thing in the booklet has heretofore
been made public. Until very recently
the information contained In booklets
of this character has not been closely
guarded, it is said, as it was Of char
acter general to nearly all battleships
of every country except as to the meas
urements Since the Russo-Japanese3

NIT any part of the detailed plans OF

United States Marines Landed.

Washington, March 22.-The United
States navy has landed marines and
blue jackets at Trujillo and Ceiba and
probably at Puerto Cortez. Honduras.
This action has a three-fold signifi-
canoe in connection with the Central
American war-first, to protect Amer
lean interests; secondly, it is taken
to be the beginning of joint interfer-
ence by the United States and Mexi-
co; thirdly, it forestalls any naval
demonstration by European powers.
News of the landing Of the marines
was received today at the navy de-
partment from Commander Fullam OF
the Marietta, and it was at once trans
mitted to the state department. AS yet
no word has been received as to wheth-
er forces have been landed at Central
American ports on the Pacific coast
side, but undoubtedly this step Will be
taken If American interests are con-
sidered in danger.
The navy department feels that tho
action taken by Commander Fullam
brings the situation completely in hand
so far as the safeguarding of trade in
terests is concerned. In addition to the
protection given to Americans it is felt
that the action Of this government will
relieve foreign governments of the nec-
essity of taking any steps toward mak>
ing naval demonstration. The land
ing Of blue jackets and marines and the
policing Of both shores of the Central
American republics with United States
gunboats before trading vessels had
been molested in any manner or for
eign interests jeopardized, is regarded
here as a diplomatic move that will
prevent any international complications
growing out of the, policy of the United
States not to permit European demon
strations in Central American or South
American waters.
