The men classes Of the First Bap:
list church enjoyed their second
the dining room of the church.
There was q full attendance Of the
brotherhood and an unusually good
program was given. This mems
brotherhood exists for purposes OF
bible study, good fellowship. and
Christian service. The chairmen OF
the various committees gave brief
reports as to what has been done
and what plans are under way. Com
mittees represented were the deyo-
tional, membership, social, athletic
and visiting. Following these re-
ports was an address by Rev. A. ].
Lee on the subject, why o Church
Brotherhood" Mr.. Lee in his talk
pointed out some Of the great per-
sonal values In bible study classes
and also the wonderful opportunities
for vital and effective christian con-
facts and service. The speaker OF
the evening was DR.. D. B. Martin OF
Winnebago, who has very recently
returned from an extensive trip
abroad throughout Europe and Pal
estine. His address was interesting,
Oh w
Martin did not forget to give q few
said that II was grievious to him to
confess that many times on his
Journey he was actually ashamed to
be associated with American tour
lists. TOO many Of them were con-
spicuous for their impudence, AFRO
gance, ignorance and jack-assedness.
The cigarette smoking, drinking,
itnmodest college girls; our incon-
siderate, discourteous, all wise men
Of wealth created abroad a most I'm
happy impression Of America" DR..
Martin spent two weeks In Germany
and said OF that country that while
1t is true that there are breadlines
for working people in few indus
trial centers temporarily thrown
out of work, and while 1t is true the
German mark has no exchange val
ue, it is also true beyond all ques-
ton that Germany as nation is In
the best condition Of any nation In
Europe today, She is building
bridges, manufacturing plants, and
ships; she has reaped excellent
crops, has high bred stock. and
shows every visible indication OF
prosperity, thrift, and power. There
are many classes Of people in Ger
many today living rate OF luxury
extravagence and dissipation that
astonish q sober living people. This
was the impression that DIR. Martin
got and was Of course his personal
opinion.
The musical features Of the even
ing were arranged for by Mr.. Har-
mer which added greatly to the
evening. Mr.. Tyler, the president Of
the brotherhood, was toastmaster OF
the banquet. together with his com
mittee and is responsible for the
success OF the entire evening. The
sentiment was generally expressed
that such an evening Of fellowship
and entertainment was exceedingly
worth. while and that Invitations be
extended to men outside the brother
hoods not affiliated with Other
churches.
