hood was held Monday evening at the
Elkhorn restaurant, and Proprietor
Chinn regaled the members with an
elegant repast of fried chicken and
fixn's. The subject for discussion was
community Christmas tree for Hepp-

thoroughly it was decided not to at
tempt an affair of this nature for
Heppner this year, but to make an ear
ly start for it the coming season and
put it over. The 1925 fair at Portland
was also presented, but no official ac-
ton taken, other than to recommend
that Mayor Noble call a public meeting
right away, at which meeting this
question could be threshed out, and
Representative Woodson given to un-
derstand what action he could take at
the special session of the legislature
that would be in harmony with the
wishes of his constituents here. The
Near East claims being presented by
S. Z. Notson a free wilr offering was
taken up and $2521 raised for relief of
famine sufferers The good offices of
the Brotherhood were extended to the

STOP, LOOK! LISTEN! Let us
STOP in our mad chase for the dollar
long enough to thank God on His Day,
for the escape from the pangs Of hum
ger felt in other lands. Let US LOOK
at our souls, and see II there is not a
need for communion with Christ and a
touch with the higher things, Let us
LISTEN to the voice of our better
selves that counsels us to stay near
God In all this the Church is an in
dispensable aid. Come out to the SER
vices on Sunday: Bible School at 10

and the third sermon on the series to
young people at 1880. A cordial well
