Conversational Church.

The Congregational church of Boise
was organized In 1891 with forty char
ter members and with Rev. Samuel
Rose as its first pastor. For year
and a half the church continued under
most trying circumstances and then
decided to disband, but in 1893 the
same people who organized the first
Congregational body, with added
strength, reorganized under the pas
torate of DIR. r. B. Wright, now pfo-
neer minister of Idaho and under his
self sacrificing leadership. ably assist
ed by his wife, grew into a strong con
gregation. One of the pioneer trus
tees of the church, in speaking of its
history, said few days ago that its
success and growth was largely due to
the faithful and untiring work of Rev.
and Mrs. r. b. Wright, who for thir
teen years worked hand in hand for
the church and in times OF adversely
were strong in the faith of ultimate
success with which their efforts We're
crowned. DIR. George E. Paddock sue
eeeded DIR. Wright as pastor and
preached here for four years. and then
accepted a call to Portland. His place
was filled by Rev. Arthur J. Sullens,
the present pastor.
The church has new building,
located at Seventh and State streets,
which was built at cost OF 5,10l,
only the first unit being completed. A
pipe organ costing $4,000 has been In

tinction of being one of the finest ven
tilated buildings in the city The

Men Like Sweets, Too.

Goodness, gracious, alive. You girls

act of the matinee.
And that's not all. You girls have
spread this candy habit to the men,
which is worse, considering the high cost
of living.

WHAT IS A MEAL?
BOARD TO DECIDE
Sandwich Enough to Get Drink
for Woman? Well, Maybe,
But It's a Question.
What constitutes a meal?"

What constitutes a meal?'
All attempt to arrive at an answer to
this question will be made by the Ex-
else Board at conference today with
the proprietors Of a dozen hotels, res
taurants and cafes. Whether women
patrons, in order to be served with
liquor must order substantials such as,
for instance, ham and eggs or roast beef
and potatoes. or whether a simple sand
wich will suffice. depends upon the
conclusions Of the board. While the
members are silent as to their belief,
1t is understood to be their opinion that
the cocktail which preceded and is some
times interspersed with the meal, must
be accompanied by something more SUBJ
stantial than a thin slice OF chicken
between two pieces Of bread.
The new excise law provides that no
licensee shall sell. give, furnish, or dis
tribute any Intoxicating liquors to any
female; provided that bona fide guests
of hotels restaurants. and clubs may be
served with liquor at meals
Various definitions have been given
the word meal" In certain establish
ments drinks have been served to wom-
ar patrons when accompanied only by
others the management has insisted
that the food be Of more substantial
quality. In a number OF restaurants
the club sandwich" has been accepted
as the standard.
1t is argued by those interested in
the Interpretation OF the law that the
definition of a meal depends largely
upon the appetite Of the person for
whom 1t Is ordered. In other words II
is declared that on occasions a sand
wfch may constitute a meal, while at
other times it would be regarded only
as starter. The board Ia prepared
to discuss the question in all Of its
various phase

stitutes meal" are Ernst Gersten-

After defining the church and setting
forth five primary functions it should
perform, DR.. Granger concluded:
II am free to say any church which
does not do its duty in these things is
not Christian church. It may be a
