an infant, the second man in the
prime of life, the third was four
years old, little Clarence Sylves-
ter, youngest child Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Sylvester, out west
of Extra. He died from severe
disease Of the stomach, while his
elder brother succeeded in passing
the climax Of the same disease and
is slowly recovering. We May
stop the rush of life moment and
query: Why all this? But the
question remains: "What right
have | to live?" If you attend
regularly church of God you are
no fool on these very vital ques-
tions. "The Gospel is a power
unto salvation for every one that
believeth." It's no mere noise or
notion.
The bazar at Hamlin last Satur-
day was a decided success in every
respect. Our Industrious ladies
are to be complimented for their
efficiency. They had capable
leader in Mrs. L. G. Christoffersen.
Thanks to everybody who helped
make the affair a success. May
the Kingdom of Christ prosper
among us!
The pastor and some of our peo-
pie attended the mission meeting
at Bethania church last Sunday.
1t was good meeting. This week
Rev. Jensen is enjoying a few days
vacation at the water holes in nor
thern Iowa. They may remind
him of the Great Salt Lake or the
Pacific Ocean, his last Swimming
hole"

nish church service at Hamlin in
the morning at 1870 o'clock, and
at Extra at s o'clock in the even

Filling Station to Be
Erected by Local Men

John Nielsen and Lee McAninch
have purchased the implement
store which was so badly dam
aged by fire last week. They will
wreck what remains of the build
ing and install a filling station on
the site. The Office will be 6n-
ished with kelastone.
The location is well adapted for
the enterprise. The new building
will be an ornament to our little
city, and the convenience of a
filling station at the corner will be
an attraction for the multitude of
tourists who are continually pass
ing through town.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH

CHRISllAu CHURCR
Special attention is called to the
evening services at the Christian
church next Sunday. The sermon
will be sort of book review Of
Roger W. Babson's little book en-
titled fundamentals of Prosper
ity." Mr.. Babson is the president
of the Babson Statistical Organi-
zation which makes business
OF collecting and tabulating statis-
tics for the busiress world. In the
process of his labors as statis-
tician he has discovered what he is
pleased to term "The Fundamen-
tails of Prosperity" 1t is inter-
esting to note that the things up
on which he centers his empha-
Sis are among those things to
which business men of today give
SO little attention. This book is
written by a business man for
business men. 1t is a straight for
ward statement of facts which he
has discovered out of research and
experience. However, it is such a
wonderful affirmation of christian
principles that | believe that it
should be voiced from the pulpit.
1t should be owned and read by
every business man in our commu-
nifty. | am taking this occasion to
interest you in this little book and
shall be glad to have you give it a
hearing next Sunday evening. The
sermon topic for the morning will
be "The Power Of Cod"
We want to take this occasion
to thank everyone whose coopera-
ton helped to make our Sunday
School picnic such a splendid sue
cess. 1t was an inspiration to see
two hundred people gather about
one table under natures canopy
Of trees, and enjoy the fellowship
of common interest. It was a
great long~face dispeller for young
and old. The transportation com-
mittee and water boys were kept
pretty busy and acquitted them
selves splendidly. AS one lady
was heard to express herself, the
affair was "a roarin' success"
The choir is preparing a home
talent entertainment to be given
on Friday night, September 9th.
On Sunday following this, septem-
ber l1th, Rev. Shaw, Of the Chris
tian church of Atlantic, will be
with us to commence a series Of
evangelistic meetings to continue
from two to four weeks.
The G. W. b. M. will meet with
Mrs. Hans Nelson on Thursday
afternoon, September 1st.
The ladies of the church have
been requested to serve dinner at
Mr.. Dick Clark's fine stock, sale on
Saturday, September Sd. We wish
to call for the hearty cooperation
of all, that Mr.. Clark may have
the service desired.

Four -Year-Old Child Vic {
tim of Stomach Trouble

Clarence Sylvester, who died
Thursday, the 18th of August, at
his parental home about five miles
west of Extra, was the youngest
child of Mr.. but Mrs. Peter Sylves-
ter, who deeply mourn his early
passing from this earthly life.
Clarence was born the lst of No
vember, 1917, being nearly four
years old at his death. His birth
place was near Brayton, where his
parents formerly lived on farm.
He was baptized in the Luthe-
ran church some time ago by M.
Mikkelsen, who at present is serv-
ing St. Johns Danish Lutheran

grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
carry his soul into paradise!
Besides the parents, one sister,
Maud, and two brothers, Andrew

parture after so brief an illness.
May their consolation be: "Per-
haps he has parted from you for a
season, that you should have him
forever. philemon l5.)

over his remains last Friday at the
St. Johns church, and interment
was made in the cemetery at that

in Irish War
Presbyterian Clergymen
Tells Rotarians of Cause
of Trouble
PAYS TRIBUTE TO
CATHOLIC CHURCH

That the present srouble in Ire
land is religious and not political,
was the statement made by the Rev.
Thomas simpson. pastor of the Pres
byterian Church OF Olympia, wash,
before the Wilmington Rotary Club,
this afternoon. Mr.. Simpson return
ed recently from Ireland, where, he
said, he made a close study OF the
trouble and its causes.
Il am a Protestant clergyman" Z"
he said. 'but / hone l am big enough
to look at a situation as IL is and
not as ! should like It to be, and l
want to pay tribute to the Roman
Catholic Church. II is the greatest
organization that the world ever has
seen or ever will see. II has brains
and craftsmanship OF the highest
possible order. While others are
thinking Of little things. It thinks in
terms OF world.
Fundamentally the trouble in Ire
land is a worldwide problem, It is
exceedingly serious. There is hatred
on both sides there such as we do
not know here. There Is bigotry
on both sides. II runs far back in
Irish history"
Mr.. simpson said that unques-
tionabiy the early Irish had a deep
grievance against England for the
way in which she had treated the
Irish Catholics in the north OF Ire
land, taking their land from them
and giving It to Protestants from
I Scotland and elsewhere. He also
seemed TO think that the Sim Fem
ers have certain just causes for
( grievance at this time. In his opin-
ion the leaders in tho present trou-
bic over there are chiefly from New
York.
A letter was read by the club
secretary stating that Sir Harry
