On the eve of Jan. 90, 1908, oc-
Cured the installation of officers
elect of the Ladies of the q. A. r.
This being the regular meeting
night there was brief session OF
same There was a goodly number
in attendance. Many members re-
ported as having been sick. The
most serious cases now are those of
Comrade VIM. Dyer, who is con-
fined to his bed and sister Irene
Trow bridge who has pneumonia.
Sister TrOWbridge's sickness was a
surprise to many, but. they volun-
teered to give any necessary as
sistance. Sister Pres, Florence
Bradley, was absent. having been
called to Correctionville, Iowa, as
both her father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. Gary Cobb were not ex-
pected to live. Sister Carrie Nc
Pherson was present from Ell
lenboro.
By a motion the Senior Vice Pres,
Mary r. Bracket was instructed to
call off for a few minutes recess,
after which the installation cere-
monies would follow also a pro-
gramme.
The installing officer was Sister
Amelia Lisherness, assisted by con-
ductor, Sister Grace Edwards. The
floor work was eXemplified by
Marshals, Lena Dyer, Eta Black
bourn, Mamie johnson and Anna
Blewett. They did their work very
evenly and beautifully, considering
many places being filled by sub
stitutes. Installing officer, Sister
Lishe1ness, did her part in an inn
pressive manner and gracefully.
The pianist, Sister Alice Stratton.
is not lacking in her important
place.
At the close. Sister Pres. Martha
Showalter gave us a few of her
choice remarks.
Then the following programme
was rendered:
Piano duet-Bessie Bracket and Beth Ed
wards.
Northumberland Jordan.
Recitation-Helen Godfrey.
Recitation-Charlie Gardner.
Song-Alberta Edwards.
Recitation-Viva Pearson.
Recitation-Donald Dyer.
Piano duet-PearSOn sisters.
After this came lunch, which l
dare say was very much relished, as
the loaded trays came back empty
several times to the kitchen. This
gathering of the members and
families of VIM. Mckinley Circle is
another pleasant reminder, which
will long be remembered.

FAMOUS FAST AND FEAST.
Ono Preceded and One Followed the
Civil War,

Ono Preceded and One Followed the
Civil War.
Queerly enough; both national fasts
and national Thanksgiving were af-
fected by the civil war. President
Buchanan appointed day Of national
fasting and prayer to avert civil war.
Republican governors of states in some
notice Of it in way to rub their ideas
against Buchanan and his party into
their proclamations. Democratic gov
errors, south and north. under the
form Of an appeal to the Deity, eau
terized Republicanism to the best of
their ability.
As President Buchanan called the
nation to prayer to avert civil war, so
did President Lincoln call it to thanks
giving for victories in civil war, to
the end that more victories might
bring union and peace. OF course. as
Mr.. Buchanan was ignored or satirized
in antipathetic political quarters in the
north, so was President Lincoln criti-
cised and even abused in the south,
where tie Union forces were not in
control. But as Mr.. Buchanan was
the pioneer in a national fast day and
as Mr.. Lincoln was the pioneer in ma
tional thanksgiving days it is we'll to
remember that sectional conditions In
n sectional war moved both and that
the great national observance which
we now have was born In the throes of
fratricidaI civic contention.-Brooklyn
