Meetings every Sunday evening
at o'clock in the parlors of the
Congregational church. All are
cordially invited.
Topic for July 28th: Home Mis-
sions. The progress of the work
among the Mormons. Matt. Z: IS
%; "a: IL. Leader, Miss Ethel FL
1iott.
Christ Explains to US that not all
that saith unto him Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the kingdom of
Heaven, and tells US to beware of
false prophets which come to rs in
fine wool, also to take heed that no
man deceive us, for many shall come
in his name, saying | am Christ.
Mormonism teaches that Adam is
God and has no fellowship with
Christians and is a menace to Chris
tianity in our country.
President Roosevelt admonishes
endeavorers to take a first rank in
good citizenship. To do this we
must stand boldly and array our
selves for battle against Mormon
ism. We cannot go among them to
do battle for Christ, but we can aid
those who do by our prayers and
with our means. Are we, as follow
ers of Christ, making any effort to
carry the beautiful story of Christ
and his life to the young people
who were born into Mormonism and
whose Bible is so different from
ours? Let US pause and consider.
We were glad to welcome among
US at our last meeting our old mem
bers, Miss Sarah Deans and DR..
Cairns.
Under the leadership of Miss
Deans we had a very enjoyable
meeting Sunday evening.
We hope to have our pastor with
Us at our next meeting.
The monthly business meeting of
the society will be held at the par
sonage next Friday evening, July
26th, at o'clock. H. c.

LEvINGs. AT her home in this city,
July IA, 1907, of Bright's disease
and anaemia, Mrs. Edwin D. Lev
ings, aged 10 years.
Mrs. Levings, whose maiden
name was Lucy May Clack, was
born in the town of Rusk, Dunn
county, Wis, July %, 1864. She
was married to Mr.. Levings Sept.
10, 1888. She is survived by her
husband and two children-Edwin
Willis, and Mary; also, by her faith
er and stepmother, Mr.. and Mrs. H.
G. Clack of Menomonie, Wis, and
of their family Mrs. Carrie Barber
of Lewellen, Neb, Mrs, Xerpha
Peck of Knapp, and Ruth, Olive and
George Clack of Menomonie. Mrs.
Levings had been i'll for a year or
more.
The funeral was held from the
family residence Tuesday after
noon, at o'clock, Rev. F. w. Har-
ris conducting the service, and the
remains were buried in Greenwood
cemetery.
1t seems fitting and desirable to
note some of the qualities of her
mind and heart that so endeared
her to those who mourn her loss.
The sorrow that has come to the
bereaVed family and near relatives
cannot be measured but we feel sure
they all have the full sympathy of
many friends in the community.
People acquainted with Mrs. Lev
ings will remember her as good
and lovable woman. Two facts
show out clearly in her life. She
possessed the grace of loving min
istry to others and patience under
great bodily suffering, as only a
loving spirit can. This trait of low
ing service appeared in her early
girlhood in the last illness of her
mother. Bravely and cheerfully
she took up the responsibility laid
down and was mother to the young
er children, comfort to her father
and the bright star in his home al
ways. In her family, in her social
relations and in all her Christian
endeavor, she was planning and
doing things for others good and
enjoyment rather than her own, limit
ed only in her efforts by her strength.
Truly the Masters own words are
applicable to her: She has done
what she could"
The following lines recently cop
led by her show her thought of the
| glorious life beyond:
''After the night of darkness the shadows fee
away;
After the day of sadness hope sheds it's bright
est ray;
After the warfare and struggle the victory is
After the work is over the Masters word,
We'll done
After the pain and sickness, the tears all
wiped away;
| After the lilies are gathered, no more OF
After the deep heart sorrow, an end OF every
| strife;
To him that overcometh, glorious crown of
life.''
