Meetings Sunday.

Five new conversions were report
ed at the Friday night revival ser
vices and the closing night Of the
campaign gives promise OF great
things.
The Methodist Memorial church
reported four conversions and the
First Baptist church one. At these
ana the other churches the attend
ance was gratifying.
Rev. r. +. Shoulder. pastor OF the
First Baptist cs:urch. spoke upon
the subject. The Prodigal Son" at
his evening service. He said In part:
Perhaps no story in scripture
touches so many points in our expe-
riences as that OF the 'prodigal son
We can never appreciate the real
life that is portrayed in this parable
, until something has led MS through
experiences similar in character 20
that victory. We pass through such
experiences sooner or later and no
auatter how strong our faith. there
are times when We waver and VIII en
the far country is reached In our
religious experiences.
How natural this story, What
was the trouble? Why does the boy
leave home? You viii agree with
me that the trouble was caused by
the rashness OF the boy. II is the
old story so often repeated: he quar-
relied with the father. secured his
commands and left unceremOniously.
See him az he demands his portion,
packs his clothing and goes on his
way rejoicing. naughty and proud in
spirit. independent and free. But
the time comes for reelection and out
in the far country his checkered ex-
perience leaves him stripped of
power social Qutcast. poverty
stricken and hungry. He longs 10
return 10 the good things at home.
There are some things that the
heavenly Father cannot tolerate
even In a Son No son can dictate
TO God. Whenever his sins become
unbearable the son is permitted to
leave because sin alienates from
God. a father and son may live I'M
der the same roof and not be on
speaking terms. They may be miles
apart in their sympathies. in their
thinking and in their ways OF living.
The privileges and blessings Of the
heavenly life must be experienced in
only fellowship OF the father. The
father did not drive him from the
house, he permitted him only his
way but the father was grieved at
his departure. a fathers love wait
ed and longed for his return.
Sin causes a cruel separation and
alienation Of all that is noble and
true from the heavenly father.
You are away from home because

with very good success. They We're
only out two mornings and secured
$685.. This money will be used for

for prize money, etc. Hardly any
one who was approached and asked
for contribution turned it down,
but in most instances, cheerfully
gave toward one of the best works
now being carried on in Webster

There are those who still feel that
the boys should receive more hearty
support each year, usually vouchsaf-

for no manufacturing enterprise
could be of more Importance than
the movement for creating better

Better Than Slingshots.

The following from the Waterloo

ted by the best periodicals of the
day, who are publishing pictures and
directions for making these NINA:
ture bits of architecture:
The Rotary club is Offering prize
for the best birdhouse submitted to
it by the school children of this city.
This is a movement deserving of the
highest commendation. 1t should
have the hearty cooperation of both
teachers and parents. No finer
scheme could be found to interest
the youths in the splendid and use
full work Of inviting the birds and
it is certain to have goods results.
The boy who makes a birdhouse is
sure to take an interest in its ten
ants and the outcome will be more
intimate knowledge of bird life and
a feeling OF friendship for our feath-
cred neighbors. 1t is better to have
the youngsters building birdhouses
than making slingshots.

So.Called Jokes.

Once in awhile some one who likes
to think of themselves as a real jok-
er-just $50 full of fun" they cannot
keep from playing a joke-calls up
the Freeman Tribune and gives
some imaginary item about a friend
or neighbor. 1t may be birth no
tice, or personal'item, or again it
may be-as it was one day last week
someone calling to inform the
newspaper that Miss So-and-So and
Mr.. So-and-So had obtained a mar
rage license Such notices are not
received at face value, unless the in
formant gives his name, but are ver-
flied before being used. In this lat
ter instance the clerks Office was at
once telephoned only to find that no
marriage license had been issued.
Some practical joker, or better called
Joker, had attempted to
play a joke on this unsuspecting
WV -"ouiu hu'@ 'S>A
greatly embarrassed by such a no.
tice in the newspaper.
The wonder still grows that in this
busy, rushing world, there exists full
grown persons with so little sense
and real work to do that they have
time to devote to such silly pastimes
as calling up the newspaper, and CIV
ing untrue items about people of
their acquaintance. In the mind of
the Freeman-Tribune there is only
one sillier way of killing time and
that has been recently described by a
Chicago cartoonist with clever pen. 1t
consists in waiting for the electric
iron to heat without turning on the
juice"
