To The Christian People Of
Mansfield, Mo.

Dear brothers and sisters,
Christ has commanded US to
pray and ask Of God our needed
blessings, and by obedience we
are promised the Lord will not
forsake US. Yes he said he
would be with US until the end
of time in this life, but we have
a cross to bear, to be worthy of
all divine blessings. He has
taught US not to forget the as
sembling of ourselves together
as some do, therefore it is neces-
sary to work together for good
and the upbuilding of God 8
kingdom, and we do feel that in
a prayer meeting we can be a
light to many, and as we have
had union prayer meeting for
some months, we desire TO see
it prosper, and at Bro. Robert
son revival last year, many OF
US promised him we would not
let the good work die, will do all
the good we could, in our Sun
day School and prayer meeting.
Let US not forget the covenant
we made with Bro. Robertson,
and as Mansfield has taken a de.
light in the progress of many
other things of aditferent nature
let US, as a praying com munity
of Mansfield, be delighted in the
progress of the spirit of Christ
among our friends and associ.
ates of this community. There.
fore let US demonstrate this by
coming out to the different pray
er meetings and working togeth
er for the upbuilding of Gods
cause. Spiritually yours,
H. M. Norcross.
p. S. Remember that the reg
ular appointment for prayer
meeting will be at the church,
on Wednesday night, following
the place where preaching is
held the Sunday before.

Officers Make Raid.

The officers of Wright and
Douglas Counties, Sheriff
Crewse and his deputies, Joe
Dennis, and John Pryor; Sheriff
Givans and a deputy, and Mar
shal Strong and Constable Atkis
son, of Mansfield, made a raid
last Wednesday night, down in
the hills of Douglas County, on
the head of Tarbutton creek, and
succeeded in finding about three
barrels of mash where astill had
been operated for several days.
The still had been removed a
few hours previous and it was
not located, but the officers found
plainly where it had been en-.
trenched in canyon back in the
hill side. They also found near
there evidence of where a still
had been operated some months
ago. While suspicion and evil
denc is strong on some certain
parties, no arrests have been
made. 1t seemed that guards
among the moon sinners gave
signal by gun shots which enab
led the operators to make their
getaway and eiude the officers
and there by escape arrest fol-
being Caught with the goods,
While no one was caught in this
raid, it is nevertheless great vic
tory of law and order and for
prohibition enforcement.

Variety Show Which
Pleased at Lahaina
Wanted at Wailuku

Efforts are being made to have the
show so successfully produced in La
haina on March 81 under the auspices
of the Outdoor Circle brought to Cen
tral Maui and a performance given in
Wailuku. If this be done it will be
produced Jointly for the benefit of the
Woman's Club and the Outdoor Cir
Gle. Mrs. A. w. Collins was over
from Lahaina yesterday and she and
Mrs. Linton of the Woman's Club talk
ed the matter over. Mrs. Collins af-
terward said that she would take it
up on her return home and that a
definite decision may be reached early
next week. If, as is indicated, favor
able decision is reached the produc-
ton will probably be offered some
time in the succeeding week, between
April IS and April 23.
AS result of the performance in
Lahaina the Outdoor Circle netted
between $400 and $500 and those from
East and Central Maui that saw it
came home enthusiastic. They have
told their friends of their enjoyment
of the affair and a desire to have a
repetition here has been quite general
ly expressed.
Two features which were especially
attractive were the cabaret scene
with the black and white ballet and
the Night in Hawaii, the latter feature
having, perhaps, not been so extensive
ly featured in the advertising as it
might well have been.
