CHURCH LIFE

At time Of writing it is not quite pos
sible to say what will bs done on next
sabbath. That will depend on whether
there is any outbreak of small pox in
town, or nearby, before that time, in
which case DR.. Olson will think it nsces-
sary to forbid any public meetings. In
the case of no outbreak it may be sup
posed that services will be held as usual.
On Saturday notices will be posted
about town, definitely advising all who
are interested.
If there be no services, let US all make
the best and most of the day with the
Sunday School lesson, reading of the
Bible and other books, with hymns and
conversation, and in any way that can
help the spiritual life. We need not
suffer any loss beyond the social advan-
tages. God will be with all who seek
Him, and they will certainly be blessed,

with special compensations for faithful
ness under difficulties.

Small Pox in Weld

An epidemic of small pox in the Ava
10 and Pawnee country has been investi-
gated by DR.. Olson, and quarantines
ordered during the past week. The
first that was known here of the epi-
demic was when Rev. Oliver returned
from Avalo on Monday, March 2. He
had encountered the disease on his trip.
and wrote to the county physician at
Greeley, advising him Of the conditions.
AS result, DIR. Olson was authorized
to make an investigation and to enforce
precautionary measures. He went out
last Friday, and found nearly every
family for several miles east of Pawnee
creek either affected by the disease or
exposed to it. No precautions had been
taken, as in nearly every instance the
illness was very mild, and the victims
seemed not to realize its serious naturel
DR.. Olson went to Greeley Thursday to
attend meeting Of Weld county ply
sicians, and to consult with the county
authorities in regard to further handling
of the local situation. No Case has de-
veloped nearer to Keota than that at
the Fitch ranch, twelve miles out, and
it is thought that further spread will be
prevented.
Earl Hughston returned to his home
stead Thursday, from North Platte,
