And so upon these strong and frm
foundations I can but build further,
and IL success comes to us-as hope
it may, 1t will be because of the foun-
dations laid, the self sacrificing de-
yotion of the first bishop of Salina-"
Bishop Sage laid stress upon the
individuality in the work OF each. say
ing that no man can work unless he
does his work in his own way: he con-
cluded his sermon with the statement
of three things which he asks OF his
people as they walk together in ser
vice: II ask you to trust one another;
to be frank With one another: to be
true to God and TO the Brotherhood. In
this way only can We give our united
energies to His service. So God will
bless us and keep us in peace and love
and Joy in his service.

at the Y. NJ. C- A. gymnasium last
evening two games OF basketoaii
were played by the Commercial
league.
The first was called at Sis. and
was between the Mississippi River
Power Co. and the Kellogg-Birge Co
1t was hotly contested and was close
enough TO make it very uncertain
until the last. In the first half, kel-
Iogg- Birge team got in their best
work. and won decisive lead, the
half ending in a score of 8 to ID
their favor.
In the second half the power peo-
pie made some good plays and came
very near overcoming the k-B lead,
but the game ended too soon for them.
The score for the game was il to IL
