Inaugural Social

A company OF young folk Of the
Methodist congregation were enter
tanned by Rev. and Mrs Barker at the
parsonage on Tuesday evening, the
occasion being an Inauguration
social. The amusements comprised
chiefly competitive games. An criRi'
nal word puzzle called an Inaugura
tion Mystery was presented by Mr..
Barker. For the most complete solu-
tion OF the puzzle Mr.. William Walker
carried of the prize, a toy donkey.
In a picture naming contest prepared
by Mrs. Barker Miss Ruby Case and
Mr.. Archie Sale tied for the prize a
box OF candies. Three young men
representing Messrs. Wilson. Taft
and Roosevelt contended ia potato
race. Mr. Martin Hasstedt as Wilson
won the contest and was duly inaug-
urated President with the unanimous
endorsement Of the suffragettes. The
oath OF office, which was fearfully and
wonderfully made, was administered
by the host. Tasteful refreshments
were served by the mistress OF the
parsonage. An interchange OF old
time riddles was the last feature of an
enjoyable evening.

Sundays Services

The services at the various Ordwsy
churches last Sunday were well
attended. the people seeming to enjoy
them greatly after being unable tu

At the M. E. church the pastor,
Rev. o. z. Barker, preached on the
topic. "Stop Forgetting" this having
application to the habit of people and
nations forgetting the supreme part
that God plays In the affairs Of the

but we can see no good reason why
people should not be brought inside
Of the church buildings by this means.
It IL certain that such attendance
will do them NO harm.
The Christian church Is at present
without a pastor, the only morning
service being the Sunday school, At
the Evangelical and Baptist churches
fairly good crowds we're in attendance
and all enjoyed the singing and
preaching.
In the evening union services were
held at the Evangelical church by the
Methodist, Christian and Evangelical
congregations, Rev. E D. Barker OF
the former church delivering the
sermon. The auditorium of this
handsome church building was packed
and all went away feeling that it was
good to have been there.
1t seems to us, as an unprejudiced
observer, that there are entirely too
many churches and that many OF
them could be dispensed with. A
town the size Of Ordway with five
churches would appear to be carrying
too heavy a load. The movement for
the uniticati0n Of all the churches,
which has already gained consider
able headway In England and the
eastern states, would seem to be Il
move in the right direction. II. as
they affirm, all Christians worship the
same Master, 1t seems to us they could
do so with more unaninity Of purpose
and form.
