Annual Service Held In the First
Baptist Church With Address
by the Rev. J.rH.
Mathlas.
OF MEMORIALS
sneaker sees Three FoId,Good In the
Services In Honor Of tho
Departed-FIag Adorns
the Pulpit.

A large representation Of the
knights OF Pythias, and their fam
flies attended the First Baptist church
last night to celebrate their annual
memorial service. The delegation
was headed by their standard bearer,
bearing the American flag, which WAS
placed upon the pulpit. A special
solo for the occasion, "Rock OF Ages.
was sung by Mrs. o. Mandt. The
pastor, the Rev. j. H Matthias,
preached a special sermon on the
subject, "Memory's dividends.
After outlining the increasing num-
Der of memorial occasions, and indi'
eating the universally OF this tend
ency. the Rev. Mr.. Matthias raised
the question whether the results OF
these occasions Justified their exist
ence. To this question he addressed
a threefold dividend of memorial
services. First, the establishment OF
feeling OF brotherhood. He said
that the commercial field, with Its
eyergrowing competitions. did not
tend that way; the Industrial rela-
lions instead OF drawing men togeth'
or is developing a threatening class
hatred: social relations are accomp-
anied with a thousand and one petty
iealousies. and frivolous estrange-
ments which make this relation an
impossible vehicle for the develop
ment Of human brotherhood. Mem
orial occasions. while not the only
successful agency. was certainly one
potent agency where there existed
genuine feeling Of fraternity.
Second. he said that the spirit
that turns back into the buried past
and brings to light the hidden treas
ures which have escaped the atten-
ton and honor OF the people during
life. Much Of the gems of poetry
and art have come to their proper
appreciation by the exercise OF this
memorial spirit.
AS the third dividend the Rev. Mr..
Matthias pointed to the enriching
thoughts of the eternal that always
characterizes a memorial service.
Any agency that links the human
soul with thoughts of eternity Is q
force the value OF which is inestim.
able. On these occasions the speak.
er said, few we're the beings wb1
took part who did not penetrate tae
vast beyond with thoughts OF
'.Where and "When?" and What
At the close Of the service the aud
fence remained seated while the
knights OF Pythias marched out OF
the church.

According to Dunn's Reviw, retail
distribution of footwear appears to be
slow. It says: Business generally is
tuufet with eastern manufacturers and
with producers situated at nearby
points, the only exception being con-
Germs working on large government
contracts for army and navy goods.
These manufacturers are operating
actively and their plants will be busy
for some time to come. The unseason-
able weather that recently prevailed
restricted retail business materially,
and sales of mems goods have been
particularly discouraging. Dealers,
however, entertain the belief that
with the advent Of warm weather con-
siderable improvement will be wit
messed. In women's lines, high cut
boot novelties are in chief request.
There is an increased call for white
canvas goods and owing to the low
prices asked for these in comparison
with leahter footwear a big season is
anticipated. There is no indication OF
values easing off, despite the inactive
market, and orders offered at under
asking prices are refused"
