+ incident to the war, Liberal, Kas., +

Church WOrk b Santa FIta spIendld

Rev. R. L. Ferguson, camp pastor
for the Methodist church. went to
Santa Rita Saturday and returned
Monday morning. lie reports he
addition Of seventeen new members 10
the union church being organized
there This makes almost one hun
dred members to this new enterprise.
The people Of Santa Rita had no
organized Protestant church. and the
sentiment IN that place is decidedly
strong for a union church. For thi.
reason Rev. Ferguson has organized
a union church which allow any men,
ber Of any regularly accredited de-
nomination TO become member If
the new union church and still re-
tain the affihation with the home
church from which the member came.
When the member leaves town, he
or she takes the church membership
along, thus leaving no one member
Of the church who is not residing in
Santa Rita. This gives life and Wig
or to the church and obviatos the bad
feature Of having church members in
name and not in reality.
Rev, Ferguson reports that the
field Of Santa Rita is one of the most
promising in all Of the southwest and
thinks that within short time a
suitable church building will be erect
ed to take care Of the religious needs
of that prosperous mining town. lie
also reports that he expects to oY-
ganize d similar church in Hanover
and Fierro, only short distance
from Santa Rita. There are several
thousand inhabitants within a radius
Of six or seven miles of Santa Rita
aud Hanover, and until Rev. Fergu-
son organized the church at Santa
Rita no protestant church of any
kind served this large number Of
people.

While the Germans have been preparing
Tor this great war during a period Of forty
years. they are relying more upon low in
trigue and downright dishonesty than
upon their military strength to gain mas
terry of the world
1t now transpires that Germany plotted

lion of Easter week in 1916, plans were
made for revolt In 1917 This scheme
failed. however, owing to the entry Of
America into the war, and Germany's
Inability to send troops to Ireland. Then
came the scheme which has Just been nip

This development cannot fail to diss-
