Preliminary Arrangements Made at

1 AG the MoEnOOlSG CnuTCIl v DuTSudp evening, representatives of the Episco pal, Pilgrim and Methodist churches united in main preliminary arrange ments for the two weeks evangelistiC campaign, which is to take place March l 8 to the 3lst.

 MT. Gillette spoke of Miss Lord as a classmate ill the Hartford High school. He had known of her as a worker for the Connecticut Bible Society and as a practical worker in evanglistic cam paigns in other places and in house to house visitation.
 It was suggested that the first Sun day in Lent which is February 25, be observed as Ego to.church" Sunday and in preparation for Miss Lords coming that union prayer meetings be held Thursday nights at the homes in various parts of the town.

Jane Arlington belonged to one ol the oldest families of Seattle and all her life she had been forced to respectable family should Jane was rather plain, as girls go, with red hair and a face plentifully sprink led with large freckles, her eyes blue and her nose snub.
 Jane was in her seventeenth year with an idea to have an adventure This idea was probably started by books she had been reading which were stuck under her bed or some where else, away from mama's watch full eye.
 Jane. or Carrots as she was dubbed by her friends. determined to board the next ship and seek l her adventure in the wilds of Alaska She covertly hid her plans. letting no one know of them, not even her chum, Penelope, deciding to leave on the Al-ki, as her bank account had been considerably lessened by various midnight feasts.
 Carrots" boarded the Al-Ki about ten-thirty, Friday night, shrouded in ] veil and wearing dark coat. She carried only suit case, and fortu nately she met none of her ac quaintances on the way to the pier or on the boat. Jane heayed sigh of relief as the Al-Ki steamed out of Puget Sound Her adventure had begun!
 For three days the Al-ki plodded peacefully on and Jane lived in the thoughts of the future. The third night. she was awakened by a ter rifle crash. A rock, Hundreds of confused cries rent the air! Jane bounced out of bed, pulled her gar ments on and tied a life preserver on in about two-fifths of a second She rushed on deck where the other passengers were madly chasing around while the captain and off cers vainly endeavored to quiet them and get them into life boats. The boat was lurching terribly now, and sinking fast.
 The sailors succeeded in getting a life boat loaded and lowered into the water. Jane started to run toward the life boat which was being low cred. but without warning, a huge block of wood came hurling down and grazed her head. She fell un conscious into a heap of small rope In the meantime. the last boat load was off. A deck hand had hurriedly run around the boat to see if every one was off. but he had been fai too frightened to see small, freck led-faceed girl lying in heap ol rope.
 ] When"Carrots became conscious her eyes gazed up into the blue skies above and a glaring sun beat mercilessly upon her face. Her head had a queer throb in it and hei clothes felt sticky and heavy. She recovered so far as to sit up and she found herself lying on sandy shore. The shore looked barren ana

bleak and Jane suddenly realized her terrible plight. She staggered as she ! arose. while her head ached painful ly. She had no idea whatsoever, where she was.
 Jane dragged herself up a little hill. She had good view. but as much of the island or mainland as she could see appeared to be wholly devoid of any vegetable substance at all It certainly was not cheer | ing prospect and Jane could not help wishing with all her heart that | she had staid at home where she 1 had belonged. It surely was an ad- venture, but it was far from the kind she had hoped and planned for.
 Carrots" sat down disconsolately upon stone and pondered the question before her. She had no idea what to do and her head be- came more painful all the time She decided to take another survey of 1 the island and she set out with as 1 determined an air as her depressed spirits would let her. This search held nothing in store for her The truth must be faced, She was on an inhospitable island with neither 1 food nor water She gazed listlessly out on the placid stretch of water before her Suddenly she started as 1 if she had heard an explosion See
 A vessel! It came steadily closer, but Jone noticed that it seemed l hn | vessel She was able to distinguish flag, but it was not the wished-fo Stars and Stripes. Upon closer ap- proach, Jane saw with a shock and a thrill went up her spine, that it was submarine flying the German flag.
 ] Of course she did not want to be taken a German prisoner but any thing was better than this terrible | island. So she did not attempt to hide, but waved her arms wildly to attract the attention of the sub marine commander and crew
 To her unbelievable joy, the un- dersea craft headed toward her isl and and soon it was not far from the shore. A small boat was quick ly launched and the captain of the German submarine was striding to ward her Jane's knees shook with excitement as she saw the com mander of a ship who was capable of committing such atrocious crimes as she had read of.
 The German greeted her in ex- cellent English and asked what she was doing on a strange island in the !, Pacific ocean near the Alaskan coast Jane quakingly explained to him her precarious position and how it had l happened The captain seemed sym pathetic and told her that he was | forced under the circumstances to hold her an American prisoner un der the German flag. as he saw the small "Old Glory" pinned to the la pei of her coat.
 Jane took this with praiseworthy fortitude as she had no idea oi what was going to happen to her

TENT iENi MEET MEETING iNG iS iS
 GREAT SUCCESS

The Tent and Brotherhood hall was
 well filled last night when Jonnie May
 the Evangelist took his text from
 Prov. 1:24-26th verses. He said that
 immediately after the fall of man in the Garden, God instituted the great scheme of redemption for mans re- covery-That the three persons that constituted one God-which were the Father, Son and Holy Ghost were call ing the world back to Sonship into the Kingdom. He said that God the
 Fathers call was, Come unto me all
 ye ends of the earth and be ye saved, for l am God and besides me there is
 none other and that God the Sons
 call was, Come unto me, all ye that
 are weary and heavy laden and will give you rest and that God the Holy Spirits call was, The Spirit says come. MT. May also dwelt on the church's call, and on the call of God through providence. He told how God, had gone to such depths and to such heights to save man. He told general in-
 cidents of how God used deathbed
 scenes to call men to him. The ser
 mon was full of scripture, logic, pathos and persuasion. At the close of the services many in the audience were weeping, and after the altar ser vices, seven bright conversions were
 made. This meeting promises to be
 one of the greatest ever held in Mall vern.
 The big choir of two comets, two violins, one piano and over fifty voices under the direction of Prof. M. L. Lifsey is doing splendid work. At the afternoon service, Rev. May took his text from the 11th chapter,
 30th verse of Proverbs, "He That
 Winnith Souls Is Wise" He said, "God uses sermons, choir and music for conviction, but there must be a personal conviction of the individual" ," The service was we'll attended, and at the close many re-pledged themselves for work in the great cause. Cottage prayer meetings are being held this afternoon as follows: Page avenue, Mrs. Bob Smith, ST.; Pine Bluff street, Mrs. Tom Archer; Main street, Mrs. Adair
 A great mems meeting was held this morning at the store of A. J. Right. A large attendance was had, and much interest shown. Tomorrow morning, the .men's meeting will be held at the store of J. B. Nunn. All are invited to attend.
 A noon meeting was held at 12 o'clock today, at the Moline mill. Those attending were: Revs. May, Harrell, Howell, Mir. Lifsey and J. E. Cooper.
 The service for Thursday and Fri. day afternoons will be for the school boys and girls, and all are invited to attend.

INTERESTING NOTES
 FROM MALVERN SCHOOLS

School life is improving with the opening of Spring. The girls prom enade the walks and the boys play ball.
 MT. Dighy, former teacher of Mall vern, but now teaching at Junction City, paid the school and his old friends visit yesterday. He was a delegate from his city to the Peace conference in Little Rock Monday.
 Monday morning was one to be re- membered by the Malvern school. Bro. May, the evangelist, assisted by his singer, Bro. Lifsey, conducted the devotional exercises for the school. The school extends thanks to both of them and most especially to Bro. May. The message he brought and the les son taught will certainly bring much good fruit. Both teachers and pupils speak in highest terms of the morn ing's service.
 J. Elmo Young and W. D. Alexan- der were present at the above ser vice. We invite all to come again.
 Oscar Gibbs and Miss Edna Donahoo are absent from the Senior class this week. With Carl Lee still absent this makes our class seem small Carl is reported improving, in fact the Seniors had letter from him today. We expect Oscar and Edna back Monday and Carl soon. The teachers take in the State Teachers Association beginning Thurs day and the pupils have two days vacation. It is expected teachers and rupils will come back refreshed next Monday morning and rush the "home stretch"
