I1rce baptist Church.

Three excellent meetings were held
at the Free Baptist church Sunday.
At the hour for the morning service
Rev. ]. l.. Meads preached TO q large
congregation, taking his text from
Hebrews 6:1 and using as his theme
Going on TO perfection"
In the afternoon Rev Meads
spoke to women and girls, his sub
jcct being "Vcstals, ViXens and YAM
pires." The church was crowded
and as a result two ladies made con-
fession.
At the evening hour, the church
was again packed. Rev. Meads used
as his theme Contrary Winds" He
spoke of the difficulties which always
confront any undertaking. These OBJ
stacles are encountered by the evil
and good alike. the difference in their
overcoming being that the Christians
know how to use the contrary winds,
Just as sailor knows how to use
adverse currents of air TO propel him
to his destination,
A meeting will be held al the
church this evening. Rev. Meads will
speak and all will receive a cordial
welcome.

First PRESBYTERIAN Church.

People who attended the First Pres
| byterian church Sunday night listen
cd to a Jealous plea for the uncon-
verted to accept Christ, and many IL
Illustrations, manifesting the great need
Of salvation, delivered by Rev. c. NJ.
| Rourke. The sermon was Of an evan
gclistic nature. The text for his re-
marks was This Is n faithful saying
ana worthy of all occupations. that
Jesus Christ came into the world to
save sinners: of whom l am chief"
found in Timothy 1st chapter, 18th
verse, and was often repeated by the
pastor.
In the beginning OF the sermon
Rev. Rourke told of the missions in
the larger cities of the country and
the good they accomplished. One in
| particular, located at st. Louis, gave
rise to many religious sayings Placed
In such a conspicuous place that no
matter what the condition the man
was who entered, IL his eyes are open,
| he will be able to read these three
words, Soap, Soup and Salvation"
which have Il kindred relation in the
| Christian life and a profound signin-
cance to the person seeking salvation.
"Thc man who has found Christ"
he said, will first purchase "a cake Of
Ivory soap and bowl of soap. Soap
and soup are needed for salvation. If
we could wing our way to heaven
the greatest word we would hear
would be salvation. In the depths of
| hell the greatest word is salvation.
| The one great word the dying mans
ears want to hear is salvation. This
is the message throughout heaven
and hell, ana this is the message of
Jesus Christ to the whole world" Is
Rev. Rourkc said that the wonder
ous work of the creation was not the
| greatest thought Of God. but the tre-
mendous thought of God was the
| idea OF Jesus Christ turning his back
on heaven and the angels, descending
| to the earth and mingling with sim
ners for forty years i'm order that you
and ! might have redemption.
There Is time and place
| he said when God Will cease whisper
ing in the ear Of sinners.
Many who are identified with the
church and who profess to be Chris
tians want 10 talk about everything
else in the world but Christ and sal
| vation. Many Of you attended the
Tally Wag carnival last week and
said you had the time or your life,
but did you talk about Christ? Are
you talking about Christ? Are you
ashamed of him?
Some of you who are sinners, ask
the question, rs there hope for all?"
The answer which comes rumbling
down from over the battlements Of
heaven Is there is hope for whose
ever will accept Christ"

BOYS ARE PUNISHED
Board Take Action on Boys Who
Broke Into High School.

The school board had special
meeting tuesday evening for the pur-
pose of considering the cases of eight
boys of the high school who had pre-,
viously confessed to breaking and en-
tering the high school building in the
night time and committing depreda.
tions in the school rooms, misplace
ing the books and private property of
the pupils and disarranging furni-
ture. The confessions of the guilty
boys were secured, one after another
and the matter has been hanging in
the balance for several days. After
due consideration the board took
summary action and the individuals
concerned have been or will be duly
punished. The matter might have
been made the basis for action in
police court, but the board members
thought the matter one wholly with
in the jurisdiction of the school direc-
tors and they acted accordingly.
While the Judgment of the board may
be regarded as severe by the boys
themselves and by those who have
suffered humiliation by reason of
their acts, the directors believed
that the good of the school demand
ed that severe punishment be admin
istered. A repetition of any of the
offenses of which the eight boys were
guilty will be promptly met with as
severe or even greater punishment
than that being suffered by the pu-
pls today. The action of the board
was made of record in the proceed
ings of the governing body and it
must stand there against the young
men. The record is open to those
concerned. Six of the boys were pub
licly reprimanded, one expelled from
the school and one suspended.

PRIMARY Is ARBITRARY

Ottumwa Courier: The more exper-
fence Iowa has with its primary cleo
tion law the more it is being made
plain that the direct nomination sys-
tenn takes from the people, instead of
giving to them, the power of select
ing the men they want in office. I'm.
der the primary system the people
cannot select man for an office, but
have to vote for man who has Sc
lected himself for the office. The d.
rect nomination system does away
with the dark horse feature. The peo-
pie have to nominate some one of
the announced candidates. Under the
convention plan the office could seek
the man. If the people were divided
and could not decide between the con.
didates, through their chosen repre-.
sentatives in the convention, they
could nominate another man. The
primary takes this power from them.

ST, DAvID'S DAY.

Today, March /, is known to the
Welsh as st. Dayid's Day. In many
parts of the country where the Welsh
are numerous the day is observed by
banquets, entertainments or exercises
of some kind. On this day a leek
is worn on the coat lapel of the
Welshman. The leek is an emblem
of Wales, corresponding in it's patriot
ic significance to the Scottish thistle
the English rose, and the Shamrock
of Erin.
st. David was the Bishop of Liam
daft in Wales. and lived in the period
preceding the Middle ages. A man of
many parts, he left an imprint upon
the history of Wales, and as one of
its great men of history his memory
is kept alive year by year on March

Market Notes.

Because of small receipts Tuesday
the tone of the, cattle market was
little better, but not enough steers
arrived to make any material differ.
ence in the trade compared with
Monday. Most of the big buyers
were not operating, being satisfied
to wait for Wednesday.
In the stocker and feeder section
the market was quite active, but
prices were steady. Fresh receipts
were of little consequence, but there
was good many cattle in specula-
tors hands, which sold to country
buyers at firm rates.
No quotable disturbance was noted
in the market for hogs Tuesday. The
receipts were only 10000 head: and
the demand was quiet. The big run
Monday loaded packers UP. so well
that they took it easy and were con-
tent to wait for the contribution of
Wednesday. Practically everything
sold in the notch the same as Mon.
day.
Cattle prices, particularly for the
good stock, are about a dollar lower
than year ago, and while some well
posted traders look for higher prices
during the spring months the indica-
tiOns are that receipts will continue
large enough for some time to pre-
vent much of a boost in prices.
