An Enjoyable Event,
The Mems Society of the +

The Mems Society of the First
Presbyterian church gave a dinner
last Friday night at the Armory
Hall. About 200 members of the
church, and those who are men,
bers Of the congregation without
membership in the church, were
present. 1t is needless to say
that the occasion was both enter
tanning and profitable. The feast
of edibles was all one could desire,
which, of course, was to have been
expected as it was prepared and
served under the direction of the
ladies Of the church. But there
was another side to the affair,
which, to use a %hackneyed phrase,
was a feast of reason and a flow of
soul. A number of good speakers
made brief addresses upon vari-
GUS phases of church work and
some very interesting and helpful
ideas were presented. The follow
ing list of speakers and their sub
iects will serve to convince the
the public that it was good to be
there, more especially so when it
is stated that Hon. Theo. F.
Kluttz, presided over the table as
toastmaster:
The Fidelity of the Rank and
File-T. G.. Fur.
Our Present Financial Condi-
ditlon-O. D Davis.

Whitehead Kluttz.
The Deacons and the Kingdom
DIR, R. L. Ramsay.
Co-operation-R. Lee Wright.
The Democracy Ct the Presby-
terion Church-Byron Clark, ID.
1t might be stated in this con-
nection that the idea of this Mems
Society was originated by the pas.
tor Of the church, Rev. Byron
Clark. Its purpose is to unite the
men of the church in a closer
brotherhood and to inspire each
one with enthusiasm in church
work. It has already accomplished
a great good and there will I'm.
d%oubtedly be a most gratifying
harvest in the future.

Cleanup Day..

Last Thursday was general
cleanup day over the city, Citi-
Gems in all parts of town went to
work with q vim and in q few
hours there was a marked change
for the better in the appearance of
things. Tt is very commendable
for citizens to get together at some
special time to clean up, but it
would serve a better purpose if all
would do a little all along this
line each day. The latter would
be much lighter and the city
would be clean all the time.
