Con eregationalism Al GreenviIIe

The Greenyille Congregational church
under the pastorate of Rev. Jas. F. Halh-
day is enjoying prosperity in a large de-
gree. The Independent says of the SER
vice last Sunday:
After the usual devotional service, the
pastor, James F, Halliday, in a short ad-
dress showed to those about TO Join the
church the need of their presence and
help in the church, and in what way the
church and the love OF the Master and
His work could aid them to get the most
good out of life for the building of great
and noble characters.
After the sermon the persons who
were TO unite with the church, fIfty-one
IN number, as their names were called
took their places before the altar and
listened TO the articles of faith of the
church and its covenant with them. Then
lne pastor, with helpful word for each,
received them INTO the joys and labors of
the church with the right hand of fellow
snip The rite of baptism was admins
tered to eight OF the number.
AT no time in the last ten years has
the church been IN as good condition for
effective work as now. The Sunday
school attendance has been increased in
about two years from an average attend
ance OF sixty TO nearly two hundred. The
morning congregations are constantly
growing larger and the vesper services
are being attended and enjoyed by many
every Sunday evening.
The credit for this growth can be given
largely to the pastor who, by his untiring
labor and helpful sermons, has endeared
himself to all his people,"

For ambitious Young women

There are many young women living IN
circumstances in which II seems to them
that they have no chance to make sue
cess Of life, yet who have a natural am
bition to make their lives count for some
thing They feel that they have strength
enough and talent enough to make the
world better for their having lived in it,,
yet there seems to be no way to accom-
plish this.
To these young women the Philadelphia
School for Nurses offers way to reach
success, no matter how poor or how isolat-
ed they may be
To some hundreds OF young women
there will be granted this year free schol-
arships, which will include two years in
struetion covering all the essentials Of the
art and science of nursing, as well as
room and board, nurse uniforms and all
the necessary supplies TO, class room
work. No fees will be charged, and the
sole expense will be for the students pri-
vate personal expenses, with which the
school has nothing to do.

ONLY ONE WAY TO BEAT THEM.
big Bill" Devery's Idea of Dealing
with Bookmakers.

Big Bill Devery has told New York

time. Two Australian wire sharks
were introduced to him under an as
sumed name as a sucker who would
bite at a wire tapping idea. After the
scheme had been preached. here is
what took place: Il haven't got any
ready money" Devery mused when
they had finished outlining the scheme.
But | suppose i could raise $4,000 or
so on the farm. Would that do for a
start? well, of course, Mr.. Devery,
If that's all you can raise. But you
really ought to go to it for the house
and lot It's a swell chance to make
a fortune in a hurry" II know ii is,
agreed Devery. That's what / used
to tell the boobs when | was chief of
police and they came to me with their
hollers It's a good thing, | says TO
them, and / don't see why you don't
get a million out of it, But they were
always there with foolish holler about
the horse coming in second and the
wire man getting away with the coin.
Something like that was always hap
pening to crab the act" The Aus
tralians were on their feet and edging
towards the door ooh, don't hurry,
boys" said Devery. reassuringly. Il

Binghams tending to that work. But

had, all right, all right" Must be

"Oh, not a bit" was Devery's cheerful
reply. But / don't think I'll go into
it, When | want to beat the book
makers I'll take a night stick"

Whereas It has pleased Almighty God
to remove from our midst our beloved
brother, Louis L. Holmes, and by his
death we lose worthy member and his
brethren faithful friend.
Therefore be it Resolved, that while we
deplore his loss we commend to all hu-
manity that death is but the parting OF
the ways leading to joyous reunion in
realms Of the eternal morning at the
celestial lodge above.
Resolved, that 70 the relatives OF the
deceased we tender our sympathy, re-
minding them that in Gods promises re-
vealed in holy writ is soace for all affc-
ton.
Resolved, that these resolutions be pub
lished and spread upon the records Of the
lodge, our charter draped for thirty days
and a copy under seal of the lodge sent

The third and last march brought no

taking each step.

It is The New American Farmer"
that the Kansas State Agricultural
college is supposed to turn out. As
a matter of fact it is a newer Ameri-
can farmer.-a farmer who will be able
to do better than the farmers of the
past, q farmer who will grow twice as
much wheat and twice as much corn
per acre as is now grown, a farmer
who will do his part to keep fair Kan
sas, prosperous Kansas a long ways in
the van of the other great agricultural
communities Of the country, g country
whose agricultural pursuits are its
backbone, it's very life.
Kansas needs it's agricultural college
at Manhattan. Kansas needs that 1t
be maintained primarily as an agri-
cultural institution. Kansas and Kan
sans are proud that 1t is called an
agricultural college and If there is any
boy attending it, or any man holding
a professorship there who is ashamed
of the name, ashamed of being identi-
fed with an institution that graduates
farmers, 1t is best for himself and ev-
eryone else that he seek other past
ures. They undoubtedly will be green
er but hardly quite as rich. Let "the
Kansas State Agricultural college"
maintain and preserve it's name. 1t is
expressive Of the purposes of the in
stitution and no one has to abide there
whose social dignity or pride will be
injured because he is attending or con-
nected with school for farmers.
