MINISTERS HAVE
ARGUMENT over
QUALIFICATIONS
Unable to Agree Whether
Evangelical Church Heads
Only Are Eligible to
Union Membership.

The Omaha Church federation
at its annual meeting Monday night
argued at considerable length the
proposed new constitution, referred
it back to the committee for further
consideration, and then listened to
stirring actresses which will be an
inspiration to the affiliated
churches during the coming months.
The discussion over the constitu-
ton arose when an amendment was
proposed to insert the word "evan-
gelical" before the word church"
in the clause specifying what de-
nominations are eligible to men,
bership. The discussion grow some
what heated at times, and the gath
ering got into parliamentary
tangle that would have required a
Joe Cannon to unwind.
Two camps settled down for a
campaign talk on one side, those
who insisted upon strict constitu-
tional ruling, and on the other those
who contended that the spirit of the
times is such that there is no place
in a city church federation for EN-
phasis upon points of doctrine so
long as there is a common basis
upon which to build, and a common
work which can be done looking to
helpfulness of the community.
Motion to Refer Back Carries.
No serious acrimony developed,
and while there was considerable
objection on the part of the strict
constructionists the motion to re-
fer back to the committee, made by
Dean Ringer, finally prevailed.
This motion also made it impossi
bic to adopt finally the report of the
nominating committee, which was
accepted and referred to a future
meeting for consideration.
In spite of the dispute over the
constitution the meeting was a
large gathering of the Christian
forces of the community, heartily de-
voted to the work of making the
church real force for righteous
ness in the city. The banquet which
preceded the business meeting was
handsomely served by the women
of the First Presbyterian church,
and greatly enjoyed by the 800 or so
who partook of it.
The music furnished by the Y. M.
c. A. quartet. especially the Hoov-
erizing selection furnished by Sec
rotary Mayer, was delightful. The
social hour which followed the in
spring addresses of Dean Ringer
and Secretary Mayer, and which
was intended to serve as an intro
duction of Mr.. Mayer to the church
people of the city was most en-
joyable social affair.

The Abandoned Room
BY Wadsworth Camp.

doubt-of all these things no par.
ticular lacked. He remembered pay.
.ing the check. as he usually die
when he dined with Paroles. He
recalled studying the timetable and
finding that he had just missed an.
other train.
Maria's spirits rose then. He was
persuaded to accompany her and
Paroles to the music hall. In her
dressing-room, while she was on
the stage, he played with the boxes
of makeup, splashing the mirror
with various colors while Paroles
sat silently watching.
The alteration, he was sure, came
little later in the cafe at a table
close to the dancing floor. Maria
had insisted that Paroles and lie
should wait there while she changed.
But" he had protested, Il have
missed too many trains.
She had demanded his time table,
scanning the columns of close
figures.
There is one,' she had said, "at
l2:l5-time for little something in
the cafe, and who knows? II you
are agreeable | might forgive every
thing and dance with you once,
Bobby, on the public floor"
So he sat for some time, expect
ant, with Paroles, watching the
boisterous dancers, listening to the
violent music, slipping absent-mind-
edly at his glass. He wondered why
Paroles had grown so quiet.
Il mustn't miss that l2:l5," he
said. you know, Carlos, you
weren't quite fair to Hartley. He's
a splendid fellow. Roomed with me
at college, played on same team, and
all that. Only wanted me to do
the right thing. Must say it was
the right thing. l won't miss that
l2:15."
Graham" Paroles sneered, SIS a
wonderful type-Apollo in the flesh
and Billy Sunday in the conscience.
Then, as Bobby started to pro-
test, Maria entered, more dazzling
than at dinner; and the dancers
swayed less boisterously, the chatter
at the tables subsidized, the orchestra
seemed to hesitate as sort of
obeisance.
A man Bobby had never seen be-
fore followed her to the table. His
middle-aged figure was loudly
clothed. His face was coarse and
clean shaver. He acknowledged the
introductions sullenly.
1've only a minute" Bobby said
to Maria.
He continued, however, to raise
his glass indifferently to his lips.
All at once his glass shook. Maria's
dark and sparkling face become
blurred. He could no longer define
the features of the stranger. He
had never before experienced any
thing of the kind. He tried to &C
count for it. but his mind became
confused.
-"Mariap he burst out. "Why are
you looking at me like that?"
Her contralto laugh rippled.
Bobby looks so funny! Carlos
Leetle Bobby looks so queer! What
is the matter with him."
Bobby's anger was lost in the i'll
creased confusion of his senses, but
through that mental turmoil tore
the thought of Graham and his in
tention of going to the Cedars. With
shaking fingers he dragged out his
watch. He couldn't read the dial.
He braced his hands against the
table thrust back his chair and arose.
The room tumbled about him. Be-
fore his eyes the dancers made long
nebulous bands of color in which
nothing had form or conference. In
stinctively he felt he hadn't dined
recklessly enough to account for
these amazing symptoms. He was
suddenly afraid.
"Carlos~ he whispered.
