COLUMBIA

The events of Independence day were under the auspices of Columbia grange and were arranged and carried out by the lecturer. Mrs. Raymond E. Clarke
 The first event was an enthusiastic game of ball between a team of girls against the boys. The girls lineup was: Eleanor Collins, captain for the-day and pitcher; Evelyn Lyman catcher, Rachel Hutehins ss Jean Natsch 1b, Lillian Gsoell 2b, Eleanor RoweH 3b Beatrice Collins If, Eleanor Frost If, and Margaret Hutehins of. Bert Lyman was umpire and his decisions were without favor. The girls put up a good game and the work of the battery, Eleanor Collins and Eve lyn Lyman. was good throughout the game, continuing until the last ball was thrown. The boys were handicapped by being required to throw and catch with the left hand, and bat with only one hand, giving the girls considerable adyan- tage, which was counterbalanced by the greater practical experience the boys had in the game Nevertheless the girls made several good runs and catches and won, 13 to 12. Eleanor Collins made the first run for the girls. who scored rapidly until the end of the game. when the boys al- most tied the scare in the last inning
 The sack race was won by John ,Swee- ney and Eleanor collins, the wheelbarrow race by Lillian Gsoel and the three legged race by John Sweeney and James Johnson. Another ball game was sehed- uled but rain prevented.
 Notwithstanding the rain, Yeomans hall was well filled in the evening for an inment. the first number being a one-act play entitled Pats Matrimonial Adventure. Clayton Hunt made a clever Irishman looking for a wealthy wife {; Mrs. w. H. Carpenter, a consequential l Irish maid and Mrs. Raymond E. Clarke, the naughty lady of the house. The play
 was followed by a duet The Land of the Free. sung by the Misses Elesnor and Beatrice Collins.~a after which Mrs May Randall gave several readings which sac had given overseas to the boys in camp during the war and which were popular with them. The selections were Hello, ] Boys, Ten Thousand Men Day Highland
 Ladies, Father, All in a Coach and Four l A Comet, and a parody on John Ander-
 son. The-entertainment closed with sing i ing by the audience of The Star Spangled 1 Banner. Dancing and refre K'ments fol 1 lowed the entertainment.

4sev. noDert Le1Ich, pastor of the Con- gregatipnal church at Derby, N. Y. who was baptized when an infant by Rev. Dr. s. H. Howe of Park Congrega tienal church, was the preacher Sunday morning at Park church at the fest of the summer union services with the United Congrega- tional church.
 In his opening remarks before his ser mon Rev. MT. Leitch spoke of the special privilege which he esteemed it to preach in the church where Dr. Howe was pas tor, as the Norwich minister was pastor years ago in the old Georgetown church now in Washington, D. C., and had bap- tized him He thanked God for Dr. Howe's long years of seraee in tbe minis try and expressed the hope that there might still be many years of usefulness left to him here.
 The preachers text was Hebrews 13: 8, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. This is a fan1sar text and one that somebody has said is one of the eutwerp texts of the Bible and merely the personal expression of some unknown man Such a person is welcome to his belief. but tsthis text holds for you and me one of the great triumphant certainties of our glorious faith. In these times of shifting. restlessness, uncertainty and upheayal this stands as an anchor tc our souls. The unchanging Christ is the su- preem fact of our faith. If that fact be lost, then all is lost.
 That Jesus of Nazareth of those cen turies gone is the same Jesus today. He saw the multitude, he understood and had compassion on them. Today He looks on the multitudes of the world struggling

GOLFERS ALL PREPARED
 FOR IT. & OPEN TorRNEy

Chicago. July (By the A. P).-With a 20 mile an hour wind making accurate shooting almost Impossible on baked course that made the balls jump at vzri- ous anglese, the thud of wood and iron against rubber was heard today on the Skokie course as famous golfers from all over the world put in their finishing touches in preparation for the national open tournament which begins tomorrow and runs through Sriday
 Most of the men who will form the rec. ord-breaking field of 325, third of whom will begin teeing off in the morning. paid little attention to scoring today, deyoting their time almost entirely to practice strokes. While there were several inter- esting foursomes, few kept medal scores and generally when a stroke wens bad it was played over. Jim Barnes sresent open champion, expressed the sentiment of most of the nle rs when he told friends that he hadn played golf at all today, although he went around twice.
 Long distance shooters are finding their excessive driving a handicap a ttimes. for frequently their tee shots are actchinc traps meant to take bad second shots. The Skokie course. while extremely flat on most of the fa.rways. is probably as well trapped as any course in the country. and the long rolls on the hard ground are causing grief in the heart of many play CT who experienced a feeling of joy as club head met the ball and started it on an apparently perfect ight. only to take a bad kick and roll into a eandpit.
 Another trouble the players are having is in run up shots. for hot only have the greens been well watered, but a space of 40 rods. in frol< of them is soft and the sudden change from the brick-llke fair ways makes it hard to judge what strength to give a run up.
 The possibility of an amateur winning the championship Is freely Accused. for this is the first time all the best known amateurs have entered the open tourna- ment. Jesse Guilford, present tifleholder hick Evans. Bob Gardner. Dave Heron t-and Francis 0uimet. former champion are men considered capable of eaualiine any ones scores. Guiiford played his first round today. while Ouimet has not yet ac. rived. He is not listed to play tomorrow but there was some talk that he might moi come

 with sin, distressed with their problems. bitter in tae.c strifes and so has com -p9ssion to lift them up on to ground that is sure and certain This text puts Him into living touch today with the life of the world It is the grandest fact of our re- ligion, a fact that is sure and steadfast for time and eternity
 What means the turbulence and unrest? The answer is the stern fact of sin. a fact we have to face and a thing that lies at the foundation of the strife and unrest. The one great task of Jesus is to save men from their sin and there is no time when the unchanging power of the great Christ is more needed IL is this Jesus who is the remedy for the worlds need.
 Is He sufficient? He has not failed in twenty centuries The history of the twenty centuries is not condemnation of the Christ but a sad commentary on the way you and I have failed. We have failed because we haven't the courage to try and prove Him. Men have not made fair trial of the one remedy that is of Gods providing. Put Him to the test and prove that He is the same yesterday, to- day and forever. This is the supreme need of the world that men should apply this remedy for their Hives. See Him as 1 He Is and not as men think He is. Be cause He is the same yesterday, today and forever. is the guarantee of the ac- complishment of the ultimate purpose fol which He came
 It Is the task of the church and of tn, 1 individual Christian to make the likeness i of Christ more prevalent Towards tha end let our efforts be directed.
