Elks Have High Time.

The new social committee of the
Elks club, composed of Messrs. E. R..
Grieve, Cliff Jenkins and Happy"
Gillette, commenced their incum-
bency by putting on the most enjoy
able party which the Elks have en-
joyed in months at the Elks temple
Saturday evening. Elks with their
wives and families to the number of
over $50 gathered at $50. Cards
and music passed the time during the
early hours and through the entire
evening for those who did not care
to dance. Dancing to the music of
the Vining orchestra. under the di-
rection of Carl Loveland, lasted from
9 o'clock until after midnight. The
dance was proclaimed to be the most
ENJOYABLE ever staged in Elks hall.
Punch was served throughout the
evening and from II o'clock on a
cafeteria luncheon was served in the
lunch room. The affair proved to be
such a riproaring success that the
demand is insistent for frequent af-
fairs OF the kind. and the social whirl
up at the Elks' promises to be a
merry one. The evening was strictly
informal with Papa Elk, mother and
the children all entering into the fun.
The small social committee is new
departure in Elkdom in Ashland,
heretofore a much larger committee
holding sway over the social times.
The new committee received congrat-
ulations from all sides, but modestly
passed on most of the credit to the
new officers. who they say co-operat-
ed with a willing spirit.

into a crowd. Mathis had promised
to open up on sin, and he surely did
open up on cursing and Christian
Sabbath desecration before he quit.
At times he threw her in on high,
adjusted the spark, and then gave
her all the gas she would take. And
again and again the audience showed
their approval by clapping Of hands.
The text was found in Daniel,
Thou are weighed in the balances
and found wanting" The message
was buflt upon the first four COM
mandments, Thou shalt have no
other gods before me-" Thou shalt
not make unto me any craven i'm
age" Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord thy God in vain" RE
member the Sabbath day to keep it
holy" Here are some things that
we're said, but the writer cannot de-
scribe the power with which they
were uttered: "A man spent all his
life in accumulating much land.
When he died he left it all in Iowa"
"Thou fool" The evangelist praised
the wideawake business man who
keeps God in the front God is no
trailer" THE American man is the
greatest cusser on earth" IF I can
poke the cuss out of you I will have
done some good" "a hog does not
cuss. therefore he has you beat "lf
we lose respect for the Christian Sab
bath it means the downfall of the ma
ton" "If you turn your back upon
the church and the gospel, you are
headed the wrong way and you VIII
go wrong" you can go to hell just
as fast in an auto as you can on
foot" Come hear the rest Monday

Three Big Meetings.

The sun had barely climbed above
the Siskiyous Easter Sunday morning
when thirteen young people climbed
to a point overlooking the city TO
sing praises to God and to pray for
the men and women OF the City Beau
tiful. And before the day closed
more than one man and woman had
heard the sound of gentle stiffness
speaking in his soul.
After the Sunday school sessions in
the several churches 700 people gath
cred at the Chautauqua building.
The service began with good audi
ence and chorus singing. Miss Walk
er brought an Easter message in
song. Mr.. Vessey sang a beautiful
arrangement of Jesus, Lover of Ny
Soul"
In due time Evangelist Mathis,
whom Ashland is beginning to know
as a real man, began his message on
"The Second Mile" On the second
mile duty fades into privilege. This
was a message given straight from
the shoulder, growing out of the
great words of Jesus in the Sermon
on the Mount. 'It takes real Chris
tianity to go the second mile" The
first station on this second mile is
suggested in the words of Jesus,
"Whosoever smiteth thee on one
cheek, turn to him the other Also
"The spirit of revenge and striking
back is of the devil" Another sta
ton was. "Bless them that curse
you." "The worst old boozer can
cuss back" Back of the cursing
and hard-heartedness and the sin OF
most men there is a desire for the
better things" 1t takes "a man OF
quality to say, God bless that fellow,
he skinned me- "If you scheme to
get even you have acted just like the
devil"
The service closed with Mr.. Vessey
singing Are You On the Inner Cir
cle?" This man has certainly cap
tured Ashland with his happy humor,
snappy directing, cornet playing. and
the way he sings the gospel. And
Mrs. Vessey is always there deliver
ing the goods from the quivering
piano. little noticed perhaps because
doing her part in such perfect har-
mony with the rest.
To the afternoon audience Mr..
Mathis spoke on "The Spirit-Filled
Life" The Holy Spirit is the Spirit
of Adoption, "The Comforter" " "The
Spirit Of Power" THE Spirit Of
Burning" and "The Spirit of Holi-
ness" We bring this Holy Spirit
into our lives by asking God for Him.
We have no right to ask for this en-
duement except for service. Some
are asking God for wholesale stock
when they have not yet opened a re-
tail shop" Mr.. Mathis told the story
of the undertaken who began the
funeral service of dead brother by
saving. This corpse has been a men,
Der of this church for forty years. "
We are dead ones if we are not filled
with the Spirit.
The evening meeting was the big
meeting. Between eight and nine
hundred crowded into the building.
The song service led by chorus Of
a hundred voices welded the audience

Easter at the Baptist Sunday schoo

at NAAI DtAiNA'N DNhDDi'
The Easter program given by the
Baptist Sunday school yesterday was
highly appreciated by all who were
fortunate enough to be present.
The first thing to greet the eye on
entering the church was the beauti-
full display of Gala lilies, extending
across the entire platform, kind
remembrance from a former superin-
tendent OF schools, Mrs. Eddy, now
residing in Berkeley, Cal.
One OF the splendid numbers of
the program was missionary talk
given by DR.. Lillian Fowler. illustrat-
ed by banners carried by a class Of
boys and closing with recitations
given by a number of small girls.
The pastor told a beautiful Easter
story, enjoyed by all, and Mrs. Black
stone and Miss Thelma Throne sang
solos for us in their usual pleasing
manner. Our young choir under the
direction of V. o. n. Smith added
much to the services as they sang to
us Of risen Saviour. q
A good offering for missions Was
taken at the close of the program,
and Superintendent Casson gave the
school the privilege Of voting to
which country it would be sent.
There seemed to be tie between
India and Africa and the final vote
will be taken next Sunday.
The Baptist Sunday school is a
live, happy place these days, with a
live man behind it who makes things
go. We will give the glad hand to
any stranger in the city who has not
found a place in some other school.

PLACING BLAME
FOR FAILURE OF
COLORADO STRIKE
Vice President of the United
Mine Workers Replies to
an Attack on the Manage
ment.

Indianapolis, Jan. 2S.-The United
Mine Workers of America convention
today went on record condemning
strikes in violation of contracts with
operators. The convention favored the
creation Of federal department of
mines, the head of which is to be a
member of the presidents cabinet.
Frank ]. Hayes, vice president OF the
Mine Workers replied to an attack
made by E. L. Doyle. OF Colorado, on
the management OF the Colorado strike
Hayes said Doyle was one OF the
handicaps In the strike and declared he
was indiscrete. He gave an instance
where Doyle. as secretary of the Colo
rado miners, sent a telegram to the in
ternational secretary to send $4,000
to buy guns"
Hayes said Doyle wanted to continue
the strike when 1t was lost. TT is
criminal to continue a strike when all
hope Of winning is gone" declared
Hayes.
w. r. Fairly. of Alabama, interna-
tional organizer and federal concilator
in the strike, also defended himself.
He was mentioned In Doyle's attack.
