M. E. Church Notes

Abraham Lincoln.
The morning service will be
commemoration of the life an
character of Abraham Lincoln.
On account of the cold wav
which came the first of the week
the Sunday school board meetin
was postponed.
Ladies, don't forget that the Al,
Society will meet with Mrs. G. G
Bigger Wednesday. Importan
work is at hand. Come fully pre-
pared for work.
There was one accession to tn,
church on Sunday morning. Mis-
Matte Reeder came in by lettel
from the Park Ave. church, Chica
go, where she has resided for some
time. ----
A nice large call bell has founC
it's way to the Sunday school, which
is a much needed article. It can
be distinctly heard all over the
church and there will be no reason
for not promptly responding to it's
ring.
The league services were attend
ed by the usual interest. The lead
er, Miss Myrtle Harter, had the
lesson we'll in hand. The papers
by Miss Roxie Rankin and Alva
Hendricks touching on the life of
Herod were interesting and in
structive.
The funeral of Mrs. S. L. Silvey,
which was held at the church last
Monday noon was we'll attended
by former friends in Laclede and
large number Of friends escorted
the remains from her home near
Hale, where she had recently
resided.
Where were many of the scholars
that were absent last Sunday morn
ing? The attendance was low, but
interest good. There were only
l4O present and $4.99 collection.
We are expecting a great increase
in scholars as soon as the unpleas-
ant weather is over. Come out,
children; we will have something
for you to do at Easter time, which
will be observed by appropriate
services by the little ones.

Owing to the bad weather and
rough roads, we will continne -onr
clearance sale for another week,
closing Saturday night, February
20. The weather conditions have
prevented many of our rural pa
irons the opportunity to attend.
This store offers you just as many
genuine bargains in the closing
days of this clearance sale, and in
many instances even more accept
able, as greater reductions are
made on several lines of merchan-
disc. j. w. Lomax & Co. -
L. E. Humphrey, who sold his
farm northeast Of Laclede and had
public sale with the intention of
locati>y elsewhere, has sensibly
concluded there is no better place
than Linn county and this week
bought the Smith farm of 178
acres two miles southwest of Brook
field. Chas. w. Simmons, Mrs.
Humphreys brother, of Montgom-
cry county, Iowa, also believes
Linn county is all right and has
bought the Sharp 80 acre farm just
south of the Brookfeld fair
grounds.
THE BLADE's premium offer of
fifty printed envelopes for every
dollar paid on subscription this
month is proving the most popular
proposition we have ever made.
More than one thousand envelopes
have been used in paying these pre-
miums. since, our last issue and a
number of orders are already on
file for another run. No one can
afford to be without the paper, and
their subscription paid in advance,
when they can get dollar and a
half's worth for one dollar. This
is a short month and those who
want to get in on this liberal deal
will have to hurry.
At the home of Mrs. J. T. Lomax
On the afternoon of February 6 oc-
Cured one of the most pleasant
social functions of many months.
About forty responded to the "At
Home" of Mesdames Lomax and
F. W. Burke, where Revelations"
was the chief feature of entertain
ment. After the guests had ar
rived Miss Kintner appeared and in
rhyme revealed to the assembly the
not altogether surprising fact that
Miss Louese Burke was soon to be
wed to Mr.. Alvin Lippitt of Mead
vile. To the strains of the we'd
ding march Miss Louese was ush-
cred in by Miss Viva Caywood and
Master Harold Standby. After
taking her place on the throne and
listening to her love story told in !
song by Mrs. Eugene Burke and
her life's history by Mrs. G. G. +
Bigger, she received the congratu- r
lations and best wishes of host of
friends. The party spent the af- :
5ernoon putting stitches in linen =
Tor the ''bride-to-be" and in giving G
many good-and, we hope, appre-

makes us ashamed to dispare an
to give up. And why should W
not resemble them? It is, surely
better to be like a bright, cheerful
fires at which our friends can warn
and warm their dropping hearts
than like the proverbial wet blank
ct which can effectively put out tn
flame of love and j hope.
Have your standard and live III
to it. Set that standard accordin.
to ynnr own income and your O w,
judgement of what is best for YOU
and yours. This trying to live ur
to the standard of others is what
destroys the happiness of many
households. Families with an in
come of 1000 a year make a des-
perate effort to live up to the stand
ard of those with 81 800 and those
with ST., 800 try to initiate those
with So, ZOO a year. We have such
a foolish fear of what our neighbors
will do or think or say. We have
not the moral force to fix our own
standard and live up to it as we
ought. The courage of ones con-
victions, the independence of ones
sense of what is best for ones in
dividual self and and family are
valuable possessions of this age of
artifcially and striving for effect.
What scene can be more lovely
on earth, more like the heavenly
home, and more pleasing to God
than that of a pious family kneel-
ing with one accord around the
home altar, and uniting in their
supplications to their father in
heayeni How sublime the act of
hose parents who thus KneeT and
pray for the blessing of God upon
heir household. How lovely the
scene of a pious mother who gath
ers. her little ones around her at
he bedside and teaches them the
beauties of prayer And what a
is this devotion against
I'll the Vaccinations of satan. It |
gives tone and intensity to their
affections and sympathies; it throws
around their hopes and
interests; it increases their happi-
less, and takes away the poig-
nancy of their grief and sorrow It
lvaileth much, therefore both for
ime and eternity. It's voice has
ent many a prodigal home to his |
athers houses. Its answer has Of
en- been, This man was born
here!" The child kneeling beside
is pious mother, and pouring forth |
is innocent prayer to God, must |
.ttract the notice of the heavenly, |
lost, and receive into it's soul the
'ower of new life.
