personal savior or to reconsecrate
their lives TO him. or this number
thirty-seyen will join together to
form the First Christian Church at
Mead. Four will be added to the
First Christian Church in this city.

the Metodist. Baptist and Presby-

greatest meetings Of his life. He at
tributes much OF the success to the
splendid work done by Clifford b.
James. minister Of the Christian
church at Ada Brother James had
charge Of the song service and lead
in the personal work However. he is
not forgetful of the fact that few

Dock" Congressman When Absent.
Many members of the House of
Representatives are in quandry ov-
er the construction to be given the
Underwood docking bill proposed
to withhold the pay of members for
each day absent. sickness excepted.
Comparative few members are now
absent and those residing at distance
have responded by wire that they
would respond to the House action.
1t is presumed that the members will
be allowed the shortest time in which
to reach Washington before the bill
is applied. The rate Of pay is S20.55
per day OF $143.s5 per week. The
fact that member is in the midst
of campaign will not relieve him
from the penalty imposed by the
Underwood resolution.
