FROM attending church, and we
could but wonder who attended
the little church on the hill,
and who occupied our chair. 1t
is so strange to think how many
different churches in name ex.
list in our country. If we can.
not all meet together here, how
will it be in that higher and
more exaulted life beyond? We
are all Gods people, and as we
must either live together over
yonder, or seperate, when we
are called upon to stand at the
great judgement seat to give
an account for the deeds in the
body, why not cultivate a closer
relationship here in the flesh?
But why speculate: it is no use,
differences, no different how
small, is sufficient to make re-
ligious parties, and who shall
determine the right?
We are having a delightful
visit, and taking things easy,
and the only regret is that all
our friends are not here with
us.
suppose you are now in the
midst of your Chautauqua. OF
course we will miss it, but it
was unavoidable as we had ar
ranged to come to Clarinda for
a visit and to not have come
would not only have been ads
appointment TO us but to others
and SO here we are. The Chau-
tauqua meeting all over the
country will have one of two
effects. The character of the
entertainment of the platform
at their meetings, are of such
a nature that it will lessen the
interest in the pulpit or raise
the character of the preaching.
The Chautauqua speakers and
the subjects discussed, being by
the most distinguished orators,
scholars and thinkers of the
age, and being able to present
their subjects in so captivating
a manner, that the humble
preaching of the simple gospel
will lose much of its interest
for want of dress, so ably fur
nlshed on the platform. For
hundred years and
over, the humble plea of the
cross has held the world in
wonder and amazement, and
its beauty has taken the world
for Christ, and now it would be
a loss to this holy plea to per-
init the Chautauqua platform
to monopolize the choicest ora
tors, scholars and thinkers to
the cause of science art and lite
nature to the detriment of the
church. The cause of the
church is worthy the highest
intellect, the most profound
thinkers and ablest takers the
earth can produce, and the
church should look we'll to it's
work that no other order,
or association be permit
ted to detract from its undying
Importance to man. That
there is room for both the
church and Chautauqua educa-
ton can not be doubted, but
the church must see to it that
the Chautauqua does not rob it
of some of it's brightest jewels
to take place on the Chautau-
qua platform. UP to last night

Letter From b. Nj.

Letter From q. NJ.
Clarinda, Iowa, Aug. II, 1906
Times: We just received
the Times containing our letter
from here, and read it with in.
terest and will now write you
q few lines more. The Chau-
tauqua closed here last Friday
1t was a success both socially
and financially, the talent sup
piled at a cost Of $4,000 and had
some very able lectures. We
only heard one, Ex.Gov. Hook
of Kansas. His subject was a
"A Message From Kansas. His
talk was of Kansas, and in it
he took 4 principal subjects as
a basis for his talk. First,
State Prohibition, Second,
Woman's Suffrage, Third Hon
est, Clean Legislation and 4th
Strict Observance of the Law,
on these four subjects he was
/, clear and emphatic. One little
incident was a little amusing
the day was exceedingly warm
and as he talked, the calmness
was we'll calculated to make a
man desire a little fresh air
all at once the leaves in the
trees began to CULVER and a cool
breeze came gently into the
auditorium and famed his locks
he stopped and as he shifted
the air he said "Thank God
that's from Kansas" "No, no,
said a brother. "thats from the
south, from Missouri" For a
man who was claiming every
thing for Kansas, that set him
back a little, but we love a man
who is loyal to his own state.
This morning we went down to
get a shave, and as we left the
shop the barber said to Mr..
Lisle. "What preacher is that
you have with you?" If the
preachers are not insulted at
the remark we are not, we
would rather be taken for a
preacher than gambler. The
weather isvcry dry and hot,
hot hardly expresses the sub
ject. One of the best numbers
of this Chautauqua was Baynes
the bird man, the first number
in your list. Mrs. C. A. Lisle
thinks it worth the entire
ticket. Mr.. Lisle is going to
Chicago on the evening train.
called there on transportation
business, will return Wednes-
day. Clarinda has improved
considerable since our last visit.
Their new library building has
been completed and is a neat
and attractive building and
cost when completed about
$4,000. They are talking up
the postoffice building at a cost
of 100000. The streets are be-
ing paved and sidewalks ex.
tended IN every direction in
fact Clarinda is putting on city
airs and feeling proud of her
advance, which is legitimate
under the spirit of imprcv-
ment manifested. We are hav.
ing a delightful time consi,l,r-
ing the hot weath-r, and viii
not think of leaving here u,,il
a cool breeze comes up. Itis
too hot even to think and of
course too warm to write much.

The Gi,autalioua.

The chautauqua.
Arthur McMurray last even,
Ing occupied the platform Il
the at the Chaataubua tent, and
gave his celebrated lecture
on "The Twentieth Century
Puritan" The Lecturer was
great in his praise of the
Old Puritan as he was known in
the days when Plymouth Rock
was the only place that amount
| ed to much in The United States
He extolled the eellgious fervor
and stern character of the Pur-
itan, and showed that the Greg.
inal purtians were men of wond-
erfulcharacter and preserver-
ence. They were naturally a
stern and exacting race, and
their surroundings made them
more so, the black and barren
country around Plymouth, the
niggradness of the soil, and
the fierce weather conditions
during the winter in that coun-
try all combined to make the
puritan what he was, stern,
honest, fanatically religious,
fearless and brave in meeting
the hard surroundings of his
new home. We have often
wondered what would have
been the result on the life of
Puritan had he landed at New
Orleans, instead of Plymouth
Rock, and came up the Mississ-
ippi Valley would have made
the history of the Puritan diff
erent. Mr.. McMurray handled
his subject in very eloquent
manner and held the attention
of his audience to the last min
ute. The Chicago Ladies
orchestra appeared last even
ing and gave unusual satisfact-
ion. The Ladies are each one
an artist in her line and their
programme, as played last night
was all that could be wished.

 Though he rulposcly laid no stress on these words and said them In 8 quiet. uhconcerned tone of voice, the dog, which appeared to be asleep, imme- diately jumped up and, leaping through the open window. scrambled up to the turf roof of the house, from which he could see the potato field. He then, not seeing the COW there, ran and look ed into the barn where she was and finding that all was right, came back to the house.
 After short time the shepherd said the same words again. and the dog re- peated his lookout, but on the false alarm being the third time given the dog got up and. wagging his tail, look cd his master in the face with so com teal an expression of interrogation that he could not help laughing aloud at him. on which, with a slight grow. he Ia i'd himself down in his warm corner with an offended air, as if deter.3ineQ not to be made a fool of again. l4ons don Standard
