Rev. Nose Williams, Pastor.
Sunday school at 10000 a. m. was
well attended and quite an interest
shown in the lesson. The Pastor had

THE eo5TH PIONEER INFANTRY,
A. E. F., RETURNS.

Kansas City, Kansas, turned out in
of the S05th Pioneer Infantry. This
company was made up principally of
boys from Kansas City Kansas, and
every citizen was out to pay them
honor. The city streets were deco
rated with American flags and appro-
pirate placards of encouragement, one
of which read, Our Boys; Who Are
~They?-The SO5th," and many other
that were very appropriate. The
crowds began to @gather about 4
o'clock p. m. and by the time the boys
arrived there was scarcely breathing
space upon the platform of the depot.
Amid the cheers, blowing of horns
and the firing of guns with the bands
playing, the boys arrived and imme'
diately detrained and formed a line
of march to Huron Park in the heart
of the city, where they were given
an open air reception and a chance to
visit with their relatives, sweethearts,
wives and friends. The committee
spared no pains in trying to make the
boys feel their welcome and no com
pany that has returned has been more
royalty entertained. Much thanks are
due our big hearted Mayor, Mr.. Men
denhall, who assisted in making it
possible for us to honor our returned
heroes. A finer speciment of man
hood we have never seen. The boys
all were looking fit to have caught
not only the Kaiser but anybody. AT.
ter spending several hours in the park
the boys marched to the station &C
companied by the same large crowd
and boarded the train for Camp Funs
ton, where they will be given theiI
discharge. We are proud of Dur boys
and hope that they are proud of us
as we did all we could to show them
our appreciation for theier noble deeds
upon the battle fields of France.

The stretching forth of the curtains
is due to the fact that the materials

and a glorious meeting was had. At
ter teh pastor preached one of those
beautiful New Testament subjects
concerning the crucifixion of Jesus,
every Christian in the house was ready
tc partake of the Lords Supper. The
meeting was a success both spiritually
financially. The Bible Glass as usual
was very well attended and the lesson
well rendered. The contest between
the Sisters and Brothers was still on
and after Sister Ford rallied her forces
the men were forced to give back the
ground which they succeeded in TAX
ing on the last Sunday. The men
raised $4,000 and the WOMEN raised
$94.75. This money is in the form Of
a pledge. 100 members have pledged
to give $500 each for three consecu-
tive Sundays. The Pastor says if they
will give him this amount for that
period of time he will go the top, so
we are taking him at his word and
are trying to do that much. Leet
each and every n do his part for the
church which is being erected is to be
