ss John Gould, Rev. Smith, Paul
Hample, ct al, ]. A. Mckee, who acted
- master Of ceremonies, arose, raped
for order and announced that short
program would be given, consisting
Of three minute speeches and few
musical numbers.
II. A. James Of Columbus, Ohio, and
L. A. Wegner Of Winona Lake, Ind,
who arrived the preceding evening to
conduct series Of revival meetings
in Oakes, were guests OF shond iiIl
the former was given the first place
on the program. Mr.. James 10 mu-
sician Of note and rendered 'Tbe Holy
City" as a cornet solo, thus giving the
entertainment q. flying start. -.
Coach Wyttenbach was then called
upon for a three minute talk upon the
subject of "Camouaage." The coach
used the word "camouflage" several
times, but he talked about football,
probably because he knows more about
that than the subject he was supposed
to discuss. He urged the men of
Oakes to do everything in their power
to encourage the high school young
sters who are going to represent our
educational institution on the gridiron
this fall. He aroused the interest Of
the assemblage and was applauded for
his efforts.
The master Of ceremonies assumed
that w. R. Whitver knew something
about pessimism, so he asked him to
tell us all about it. He told story or
two and discussed "Optimism" for
three minutes, thus robbing Supt. ]. C.
Gould Of his subject. Gould was too
full for utterance anyway, so he didn't
mind, though he did gurgle about
something until his time was up.
Rev. Smith, who as Methodist
minister has something Of a reputa-
tion as a speaker, was asked to give
his views on "Life," though expecting
him to give discourse on 'Life" OF
anything else in three minutes was a
little too much-you know how preach
ers are. But he offered a number Of
inspiring thoughts for our considera-
tion even If he did "crow-hop" a little
on the next mans time.
Lloyd McPhail, recently home from
college, has learned something about
friendship among other things, and
gave one Of the best talks Of the even
ing.
Rev. Dierenield was instructed to
say something about the Community
Spirit" and among other things said
that before he came here he was told
that Oakes business men and citizens
"pulled together" on everything Of
public interest. Since accepting the
call to this city he has found it to be
true and is glad he came. He urged
us not to forget the religious side Of
life, and his statements were very
convincing.
Mr.. Wegner, who has a splendid
voice, offered vocal solo, tsFace to
Face" which was one of the most
pleasing numbers on the program.
Mr.. Mckee then announced that
Mr.. James would give a short talk
choosing his own subject and taking
his own time about it. The speaker
confined his remarks to making an
appeal for the cooperation of the
people of Oakes in making the revival
meetings the success they should be.
As master Of ceremonies; Mr.. Nc.
Kee. does not have to yield the palm
to anybody. He is at ease in public
and made q hit with the audience.
It was announced that after The
program, services would be held in thu
/. pavilion, which has been leased from
the Legion for three weeks. Meetingi
will be held every evening, the SONG
service beginning at 7:30 o'clock. TIL,
evangelists will be assisted by Revs
Dierenfield and Smith and other min
listers are invited to join them.
