 Preached to Soldiers and
 Masons
MORTGAGE IS BURNED

''The church was founded for service and yet 1t often defeats the very pur- pose for which 1t was organized by being so careful of itself against con- tamination with sin and vice that 1t passes by on the other side as did the Priest and Levite." said pr. Henry Edmonds, pastor of the Independent Presbyterian church, fin his sermon last night. Dr. Edmonds took as his text "rhe Good Samaritan"
 "The church as Christ intended it." said Dr. Edmonds. "is>not a natural ad ministrative society, charmingly housed in elegant quarters, catered to by the expensive choir and oratorlcal pastor; no. it was organized for the purpose of binding up the broken hearted and raising the fallen.
 "If men practiced the code of brotherly love and service the great, crying questions Of the day would be answered. The spirit of the Good Sa- maritan settles most problems. A man doesn't need an external tag to place him in Gods estimation; his in ward goodness speaks itself out In noble deeds and places him among the children of God"
 Dr. Edmonds announced the decis- ion of the congregation to purchase a lot on which will be built a perma- nent home of the church at Tenth ave- nue and Twenty street, south. The lot is located near Magnolia park.
 The first meting of the summer class for the study of What the Bible Says About War will be held the first Sunday in July at the Temple. Mir. Bayley will lead in the discussion.

GRADUATION EXERCISES AT

Report

several detailed reports and the many
informal reports given from time to
time.
The quality of the work done by the
students has been uniformly high.
From the upper classes the work in
some cases has been Of q superior quail
ity than that ordinarily expected of
high school people. One difficulty must
be recognized in dealing with the low
er classes, namely: the students come
to the high school without uniform
preparation. Coming from the several
elementary schools of varying stand
ards of thoroughness, they are here all
placed In the same classes without
proper recognition of individual diff
| ferences. This cannot be other than
disadvantageous in required courses.
Only division of classes and a care
| full grading of the divisions can remedy
this.
This necessary grading of classes has
been almost impossible this year be-
cause of the increased enrolment and
attendance and no corresponding In
crease in equipment. The total enroll
ment this year has reached one hun
dred and forty, an increase of over
/ twenty-six per cent over last year. This
unusual increase caused a great con.
gestion In classes during the first
semester and has been fully relieved
only within the last month of the
school year. For the greater part OF
the year, some classes have been en-
tirely too large for thoroughly effec
tive and satisfactory teaching, and the
teaching force has been inadequate fol

WILL START ON LUCILLE BRIDGE
AT ONCE.

Reyillo Johnston, the well knows
stockman of Lucille, came up last Sat
urday from his Salmon river home with
the purpose of taking steps to improve
his stock. Mr.. Johnston bought two
fine young Hereford bulls of N. b. Pet
tibone, northeast of town and will
take them down home to put with his
herd on the river II will be remember
ed that Mr. Pettibone bought a fine
bunch of Herefords at the Northwest
Livestock show some three years ago,
of which considerable comment was
made at the time, and the two ami
mails sold came from that herd.
Mr. Johnston. stated to the Globe
man that work on the $4,000 bridge
across the Salmon river at Lucille will
be commenced within few days,
weather permitting. The timbers have
been gotten out and the representative
of the Security Bridge company will
soon be ON hand to take up the other
work. The citizens of the Lucille sec
ton raised $1,000 of the money for the
bridge, by mutual agreement assessing
each quarter section $50, and larger
tracts in sliding ratio, and the money
is now in the Whitebird bank. The
county came through with the other
$500 This bridge is going to be of
inestimable value to that section of
the country.
