Still the prayer meetings grow
better. The one Wednesday nigh,
was the best yet.
Attendance was good Sunday.
The subject of the morning was
"Unwearied in well-doing" Gal. 6;
ITO.
The true man of God yearns for,
and if successful, must have the
love, sympathy, prayers, and CO.
operation of the whole church. Few
things so weaken and negative the
work of the minister as unkind criti-
cism by the members of the congre-
cation.
In our own special work we have
cause for being greatly encouraged.
An increased membership, a better
ment of those we have, one of the
most beautiful church properties in
Western Kansas, harmony and good
fellowship prevailing, why not that
we be strong and of good courrge.
The Christian who does not value
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1910-07-28

fellowship and harmony above lead
ership is not worthy place In the
church of Christ. Where pastor and
church alike are ready to subordi-
nate their own personalities to the
general good of the cause, and glad
to sacrifice leadership to serviceabil-
ity, there is church that shall con-
quor.
There are many considerations
that should encourage US to contin-
ue in well-doing. One is drawn
from comprehensive view of
Christianity. How from a weak,
small, and obscure beginning, it has
become the greatest power in the
world, pervading practically all ma
tons and conditions. Again from
its intensive power to cleanse and
purify, not simply society in general
but the worst and most degraded al
so.
The particular things in the mind
of the writer were the restoration
and forgiveness of an offending bro
Their, and second the support of re-
ligiouS teachers. From these spec
ial instances he rose to the general
principles of kindness toward all
men, and spiritual fellowship as it
should exist between Christians.
The man who is not more concern
ed about the fellowship of the
church than about almost any other
feature of the work, is not worthy of
a pastorate.

Remember the c. f. at 7 O'Clock
Sunday evening. Mr.. Scrlvner is
leader.
Donald Innis is in from the coun-
try now and able to attend our meet
ings again.
Watch for 1.-THE Endeavor So
cial that is being planned. Some
thing new is promised this time by
the new Social Committee.
A card from Ebert Innis, one of
our Endeavors, who is visiting in
Indiana, says he is certainly enjoy
ing his vacation. He expects to re-
turn soon.
How about the condition of our
church since the painting has been
finished? Wasn't it we'll worth
while? This only shows what a
band of people can do if they will
only work. Let's keep working, for
there is plenty to do.
In spite of the unusually warm
weather, our c. E. is very much
alive. A very interesting meeting,
led by Kay Dalgarn, was held Sun
day evening. The short talks on
the different subjects were helpful to
all. "Can you have Christ with
you In business, in the home, in poll
itics, and in SCHOOL," These were
some of the questions asked and
answered Sunday evening. They
are good subjects for thought.

Getting Ready to Vote.

Every voter is supposed to know
the candidates for Governor or have
a knowledge of the principles for
which they contend and to have de-
cided for which he intends to vote.
AS to the candidates for the various
State Offices, not having i personal
acquaintance with them or know
ledge of their peculiar fitness will be
guided in their selection by their
acceptance of the principles and
policies advocated by the candidate
for Governor whom they endorse.
For instance: If voter favors Wag-
staff for Governor he will not know
ingly vote for candidate who is
fighting him. All Republican can
didates are supposed to be either
Regular or Insurgent, according to
the banner under which they have
enlisted, being Stubs or Wagstaff.
Lining up the Stubs following of
the names given on the official bal
lot we think it is about this way:
For Justice Supreme Court. S.
West and Charles B. Graves.
Governor-W. R. Stubs.
Lieut.. Gov.-Richard ]. Hopkins
Secy. of State-Chas H. Sessions
Auditor-W. A. Gamble
State Treasurer-A. w. Grass
Atty. Gen.-John S. Dawson
Supt. Public Instruction., L.
Payne
Supt. of Insurance-Ike Lewis
State Printer-T. B. Brown
R. R. Commissloners-John T.
White, George Plumb, w. L. Gun
Geo. w. Howard.
There are doubtless other Stubs
adherents among the candidates
among whom each voter will choose
for himself.

day and says he has finished cut
ting his wheat. He had $50
acres and with the assistance of
his boys and two hired hands

years of age" said Judge c. c. Good

His Serious Jests.

the staid, even at the risk of shocking
limited and literal beings. We're char,
ncteristics of Mark Twain. His scrawl
on card to sick man on whom he
called. God and are sorry that you
are so ILL.," was an expression that
came to him without the slightest hest
fancy over its incongruity.

that the report was somewhat eXag.

was dead is on par with his phiio.

and revereut thoughts which Mr.
Clemens so often uttered was spoken
only few days before his last de-

In an unknown tongue. On this par

through a stormy session in bankers
office. In the course Of which his
knowledge Of things financial had
been sorely tested. An investment in
which he saw nothing but rosy pros
poets had been painted in its true COT
more trustworthy than his own in
such matters.
This sort Of thing happened over
and over again. Twain was forever
thinking up new schemes for investing
his earnings. schemes which fell
through when the humorist brought
them to Wall street. Once he came
to the office Of banker with IL bundle

that the banker was in Europe spent
the entire morning demonstrating to
the office force the advantage of the
spiral pin over other kids.
He used the excelsior as head of
hair, plunging the corkscrcw shaped
pin into it and showing that it stayed

binary hatpins. The office force was
convulsed. 1t did not know whether
to take him in earnest or not. Yet he
seemed to be in deadly earnest. He
