The Oskaloosa Eagles were at home
last evening to members of their
families, wives, sisters, mothers,
daughters and lady friends, at the
lodge home and club rooms on First
avenue West. The party was the first
of series of varied entertainments

! to be given by the membership during
the winter season for the benefit OF
Eagles and their families. If the
other numbers of the series are as
thoroughly pleasant and enjoyable
as was the opening party the Eagles
will have no cause for complaint. The
social of last evening was one of the
incest events ever given by an Oska
! loosa fraternal organization and the
Eagles have taken new honors in the
social life of the city.
The apartments of the club rooms
and hall were turned over to the
company and fully three hundred
people enjoyed the hospitality extend
ed by the lodge. The hall was splend,
idly decorated with flowers and
greens and the stations were special,
lily draped and canopied. The work
was done by "Micky" Roberts and
was a highly credItable piece of
work. 1t was so well liked that it
is to be made permanent for the sea-
son.
While numbers Of the guests gave
their time to dancing and the enjoy
ment of the ball room, others found
entertainment at the billiard tables
or in the card rooms. Others had the
library and parlors and INDUCED in
conversation and goodfellowship gen.
orally. The smoking room claimed
others from time to time. The Eagles
quarters make an ideal place for en-
tertaining guests and the ease with
which the crowd of last evening was
handled proves all claims that have
been made for the apartments.
An oyster supper was served the
guests in the dining-room and cafe
of the club. A special committee,
James Downs, William J. Cranky,
Daniel Kenner and John Fitzgerald,
was appointed some weeks ago to care
for this end of the evenings program
and they did full justice to their
charge. 1t was a satisfying supper
and received much commentator on
the part of the guests.
The entertainments will be given
at monthly intervals. The next party
will likely be a holiday affair at a
date between Christmas and New
Years, when some special form of di'
version will be employed.
The music of Tuesday evening was
furnished by Burke's orchestra with

The Bible School was well repre-

Prof. Sperman Kirk, of Drake Uni
versity, gave the morning address
His theme was found in the text
Wherefore my beloved brethren be
We steadfast, unmoveable, always
Astounding in the work of the Lord.
He is didactic in his preaching and
spoke from a wide range of accurate
historic and biblical information,
covering the period at the time the
New Testament was written. He
dwelt largely on the words ''stead
fast" and 'unmovable," and explain
ed clearly what kind of moral and
religious fiber Christians must have
to stand for a great principle, even
at the cost of life itself. 1t Is always
a noble mind which Is willing to in
vestigate any new truth. One truth
never contradicts any other truth.
When truth is admitted it invariably
clears the mental and spiritual Wis
ion. The sermon was one OF those
closely knit addresses to which one
cannot listen without a firmer faith
in God and His message. Strong EN-
phasis was given to all announce
ments of the auxilliaries of the
church. Loyalty to these insures a
live church, especially in the absence
of regular pastor. The Christian

The experiment of the Y. NJ. c. A.
in conducting its Sunday afternoon
meetings in the Orient Theatre in
stead of the Association auditorium
has proven a great success. These
have been largely attended
during this month and although they
