The Oakes times. [volume] (Oakes, N.D.) 1906-current, 1908-01-02

The ladies' were the -hostesses Of the
evening and had an elaborate banquet
prepared, but here the gentlemen
stepped in with another little surprise
by inviting the Star to join them in
witnessing the presentation of 'The
Unwritten Law" at the Academy of
Music by the Chase-Lister Co. There
was no disappointment here for this
excellent company is one Of the best
that appears in Oakes and every men,
bef seems just fitted for their parts.
Clint and Bessie Robbins are actors of
rare ability and their specialties were
enlivening.
It was eleven o'clock when the party
again met at the lodge hall, and those
escalloped oysters and baked chicken,
and the things that go with them,
tasted better and set better for the
interval enjoyed at the theatre.
Worthy Matron Huffman on behalf
of the Star, thanked the gentlemen for
their agreeable invitation, and in re-
turn Excellent High Priest Stitzel ex-
tended the thanks of the Masons for
their cordial invitation and the splendid
supper of which they had partaken.
If Brother Mills only knew how close
one of the dear sisters was to escorting
him home-he would have needed a
sweet pickle or something to assist in
the recovery. If it had not been a
case of mistaken identity it would be
hard to have guessed the result.

After the Ceremonies Theatre Party Was En-.
loved, Then Came Feast Of Good Things
Brother Mills Had Close Call.

The joint installation of officers Of
the Eastern Star and Royal Arch
Masons was the occasion last Monday
evening of a very pleasant and social
time. In fact it was the event Of the
winter. Everyone was feeling at their
best and everything that took place
seemed to make each nature kinder
and each heart beat truer with sisterly
and brotherly devotion to the charms
that encircle the masonic fraternity and
its auxiliary.
The doings of the evening began at
seven o'clock, when Mrs. Cora Bush as
presiding officer, and Mrs. Myrtle

Convincing Sermon.

Another big congregation greeted
DR.. R. A. Walton at the opera house
last night and one of the best ser
vices of the big meeting were held.
The evangelist took for his sub
ject and text, "All the promises of
God are yes in Jesus Christ" The
sermon that followed was the most
forceful and effective that he has
delivered, and the great audience
was swayed by the burning message
that fell from his lips.
With a logic that was convincing
and incontrovertible he made plain
the truth that when we accept Jesus
Christ as our Savior we can claim
every promise of God, and there are
$4,000 separate and distinct promis-
es in the bible, but if we turn away
from Jesus then we can claim no
promise, nor protection from God.
The illustrations used in the ser
mon last night were plain, but SO
convincing that they caused many
persons in the audience to begin to
think seriously of the lives they are
/ living and to face the probability
, that there might come time in the
, future when they would want so
badly to pray to God for blessing
and for salvation and could not
claim the promise.-Orange Leader.
