MISSIONARY CONVENTION

Of The Oes Moines Conference Of
The Evangelical Church Held At
Audubon
The sixth Annual Convention of the
Des Moines Conference Branch of the
Woman S Missionary Society was held
at the Evangelical church in Audubon
on July II, II, ID, IA, 1907, and was in
every way decided success. All the
subsidiaries were represented by a
full delegation and many we'll prepar-
ed papers on important subjects were
read; and the discussions which fol-
lowed proved the interest of the con-
ventlon. These papers and addresses
were OF such spiritual character as
to inspire and impress the hearts and
minds OF the hearers that they who
gave them had been in the school of
Christ. The work of the past year and
convention was highly satisfactory to
all, and reports showed successful
year. There we're three offerings taken
during the convention which amounted
to over two hundred dollars for vari-
Gus missionary purposes. Sixteen life
members were secured. A number
! pledged themselves as 1.-THE givers,
while Mission Band was organized
with sixteen members and also a Cra-
die of Eleven. Reverends L. N. Day,
Loring, H. @, Powell, Des Moines: 0.
M. Yaggy, Viola Center; were present
and rendered efficient help, and to them
is due much of the success of the con-
ventiOn, which is now matter of his
tory But the good influence which
has gone out from this little gathering
of devoted women will still live in the
hearts of those in attendance and be
an incentive to better service in the
Masters vineyard who has issued the
command. REPORTER

Holiness Tent Meeting

The Audubon County Holiness Asso-
citation just closed a successful thir-
teen days meeting, north Of the Viola
store. Although the meeting failed in
the proposed camp meeting proving
to be only tent meeting, and while
hindered by rain and strong OppOsi-
ton yet the results were splendid.
Some upwards of forty souls moved
toward God. Some sinners were con-
verified, some of the back sliders re-
claimed and others sanctitied at this
meeting and the association was
strengthened by a goodly number join
ing for the special purpose of pushing
the bible doctrine of holiness, and the
work was generally settled upon a bet
foundation than it has been for years.
Evangelist Ellington and wife worked
hard to press souls into the kingdom,
and saw the desired effect. Their work
was so satisfactory that they we're en-
gagged to conduct the camp next year.
Holiness is being planted in Audubon
county to stay; and why not since it
is the only thing that will stand the
test when all else is melting and going
to pieces. ~

OUR CHAUTAUQUA
PROMISES A FINE PROGRAM

We are glad to assure our readers
that The Audubon Chautauqua for
1907 is a go. Enough tickets have been
taken in Audubon to guarantee it's
coming. And now let everybody in
town and county hurrah for its sue
cess. Fifteen different entertainments
will be presented. Many elements go
to make Chautauqua asuccess-tirst
OF all it presents something to please
everybody. One wants humorous
lecture and he gets it. Another wants
a serious lecture and he gets it. 9th
ers want travel talks and they get
them beautifully illustrated and pre-
sented by wide-awake, up-tO-date
newspaper war correspondents who
willingly risk their lives on the firing
line to be near where things happen
and get the facts. Others want music
and they get lots of it, from the classic
strains of the Orchestra to the ever
popular plantation melodies of the
Colored Jubilee folks. Others like the
fun and frolic of the moving pictures
and they are furnished plenty of it
along with the thrilling scenes of war
earthquakes, automobile races, etc.
Yet one of the greatest factors of a
Chautauqua is the meeting of old
friends and neighbors, the renewal of
old friendships, the latest news OF
Cousin Bill and his new wife from
way out west.

The Glenwood Opinion gives an ac-
count of a severe storm of wind, rain
and hail that struck that place on Sat
urday evening, July g. 1907, destroy
ing much of the crops in that section.
An incident of the storm that may
seem beyond belief but is testified to
by many witnesses, is the fact that u
horse was washed into one of the can
yons in the Waubonsie hills and bur-
led in hail The animal was on its
back with feet in the air, and the
next day the hail had only melted
enough to show the feet.

Must be Awful Good,

A Chicago minister denounces kiss
ing by sweathearts for the reason that
there is something wonderfully mag
netic in kiss when two sets of lips
come together like two clouds charg-
ed with electricity, one positive and
one negative and the result in certain
cases is emotional explosion and a
cloudburst of excessive passion and
ecstacy. The kiss goes straight, like
a shock of galvanic battery, to the
heart and the weaker party is always
paralyzed under the blow, whether
for good or i'll, whether for veal or
woe.
