PAYETTE BASKETBALL LEAGUE.

The teams in the Basketball Leag-
ue are on the verge of turning the
curve for THE Home Stretch" Thus
far some interesting playing has
been called for as result of the
League and perhaps some even bet
ter work will shortly follow. On
Tuesday night the Professionals and
the Baptists will cross swords, and
the Presbyterians will strive to hold
their record Of no games lost against
the onslaughts of the Methodists.
This latter game will no doubt be
the fastest game played in Payette
up to this time General admission
Is cents, students 10 cents. Don't
forget the date Tuesday January 8.
The Navajos.
On Saturday night the Navajos had
one big POW POW. The chiefs great
and small were all present with
their squaws. The feed prepared
by the warriors consisted of an oy-
ster stew. cocoa and cake. Added
I'd this as a surprise from the squaws
was an abundant supply of home
made candy.
The hall on the third floor of the
Y. NJ. C. A. building was beautifully
decorated by the warriors, and the
west end Of the hall was made into a
parlor. Many games were played and
all seemed to have an enjoyable
time. There were over thirty pres
ent and among them were the Big
Chief-Black Crow, Light Foot, Long
Boat. Flying Arrow, Great Heart,
Gun, Hawkeye, Gobygob, Canikus,
Stone Eater and Red Elk.
"Men and Religion"
A fitting service for the last Sun |
day in the old year was that at |
the Association building last Sunday. |
The speaker was Mr.. Harry w. Arm |
old, former International Secretary of |
the Young Mems Christian Associa- |
ton of New York City. At the pres
ent time Mr. Arnold is giving his
undivided time and attention to one |
of the most significant movements I
of modern times, the Men and Re |
ligion Forward Movement" of |
which he is one of the originators. |
Several months ago failing health |
compelled him to ease up in his |
work, hence the very rare privilege |
accorded the Payette men on Sunday. |
In an experience in work for men |
extending thru term Of years and |
stretching from coast to coast Mr.. |
Arnold has acquired a knowledge of |
actual conditions and successful meth
DDS of work that are remarkable. |
Combined with this knowledge is |
a strength of personality and force |
in presentation that make him a
speaker of unusual power.
For the address here the subject |
was "The Summons of the Hour" In |
a mastery way the conditions and |
needs of our day were laid bare, |
and the one great solution, the in
corporation into the lives of men |
OF the truths of the Gospel and |
the Spirit of the living God controll- !
ing men in all the walks of life,
was clearly set forth. The woeful |
need for more definite service by |
the men Of this nation and the re-
sponsibility of every individual man
for putting his shoulder to the
wheel was brought home with tre-
mendous energy.
The movement in Payette is now
assuming definite form. About thir-
ty men have been assigned to COM
mittees and this number will prob
ably be largely augmented within
the next few days. The committees
have been appointed to take up the
following lines of work;
Business and Publicity, Boys Work,
Bible Study, Social Service and Mis-
sions, Evangelism and Community
Extension.
