The Standard Bearers OF the First
M. E. church met last evening at the
home Of Miss Burmah Murray ON
Thirteenth street south. The pro-
gramme was a very interesting n
the missionary department Of the
recent conference. Several Of the
Chinese speeches, which were inter-
preted before the convention and pub
lished in the newspapers, were read.
The main plea of these was that the
United States recognize the Chinese
republic. A resolution was put be-
fore the convention to this effect and
passed. The meeting was brought to
a close at an early hour so that the
members of the society could attend
the social at the church.
Last evening the Young Ladies
sodality of the St. Joseph's church in
Moorhead gave a very pretty china
shower for Miss Nellie Casey, one of
the popular brides to be of early June.
The rooms were very prettiIy decorat-
ed with festoonings OF pink cupids and
hearts extending from the chandelier
to the wall and in the center was a
large white wedding bell. The evening
was spent in playing hearts, the card
tables being arranged in a heart shape
and the prize, a beautiful geranium
plant, was won by Miss Sauvageau.
After the cards were put away, a nice
luncheon was served, the color scheme
of pink and white being carried out
very effectively. At a convenient
time a basket nearly covered with IL
laos was presented to Miss Casey and
upon investigation she discovered an
exquisite twenty-five piece set of
Haviland china, which will grace her
new home. On Friday evening the
Woman's Catholic Order of Foresters
will entertain for Miss Casey, the st.
Joseph's choir will entertain on Sat-

The Epworth league OF the First
M. E. church gave a social last even
ing for all new members in the par
Tors of the church. About sixty young
people were present and a very happy
evening was spent with games and
music. Miss Alice Moshier was In
charge and introduced a number OF
new stunts that were very entertain
ing. Funny pictures were pasted up
about the walls and the guests were
required to guess the characters and
various connections were hid about the
rooms and a great deal of fun resulted
in finding them. The guests were
given paper and pencils and were re-
quired to sketch the church as ii
should be, which was a very clever
idea and may help those who are plan
ming for the enlargement Of the
church. A contest was introduced in
which all of the guests were made ac-
quainted. Sides were chosen and each
one gave their name, after forming
into two lines. Those opposite were
then required to tell the name Of the
person opposite and pronounce it coc-
rectly. The forfeit was the addition
of the one who failed to the opposite
side. At the close OF the evening nice
refreshments were served, the com
pany being divided into groups OF
families, and a pleasant hour was
