At the morning session OF the sun
day school D. NJ. Donovan, superln-
tendent, a very interesting meeting
was held. The lesson for the day was
taken from the old scriptures which
is generally thought to be harder to
| interpret than those taken from the
New Testament. The scholars seem
ed to be well versed in the life and
character of Abraham. Immediately
following the Sunday school session
| class meeting was held. &. F. Whit
ney being the leader. The people
who remained for this assembly
were amply repaid for their trouble.
Mr.. Whitney's address to his class
mates was fine and full of good ad-
vice. The testimonies which followed
showed conclusively that the ola
time religion is not dead, but very
much alive. In the afternoon the
writer took a stroll and viewed ma
ture which seemed to be doing It's
best to look more beautiful than us
ual. The day was warm and balmy;
the birds as they fitted from tree to
! tree sent forth sweet songs TO glad
den the hearts of the hearers. The
busy bees as they went from flower
to flower extracting that sweet es-
sence which they converted into non
ey for their winters food or to be
robbed by man for to cater to his
appetite. The grass, trees, shrubs
all seem to vie with each other in
adding their share of the beauty
which was of such a gorgeous ma
ture it is hard for mortal man to de-
scribe. At z p. m. the Epworth
League, Mrs. Pauline Lynch, leader,
presented a Mothers Day program
which will long be remembered for
its completeness. Every part was
we'll rendered. The singing by Mrs.
H. w. Jester and Rev. Conrad Hamer
was very fine and brought tears to
many eyes.
At 1880 p. m. the pastor preached
an appropriate sermon to Hiawatha
Council, D. of P, and Ioka Tribe L.
o. r. NJ, who were present IN a
body. His theme was Love" and was
!, based on the 18th chapter of Mat
thew and part of the 18th verse:
Love thy neighbor as thyself." Mr..
Hamer was at his best and preached
a sermon of great power. If the
members present will take seriously
the advice given by the pastor they
will be better and more useful
members of the two fraternal or
| ganizations to which they belong.
We think that Sunday taken from a
spiritual standpoint was one of the
/ best days which Glendale has eX-
perienced for a long time.
The ladies of Ellendale deserve the
thanks of the people of the town ana
= vicinity for their wonderful work IN

pers and personal solicitations. They
had the pleasure of seeing the note
given when they borrowed the mon
ey, destroyed by the pastor Sunday
evening in the presence of the con-
gregatiOn.

9 The farmers are retarded IN their
spring plowing owing to the hard
, ness of the ground. Unless rain
comes soon, many acres Will be left
uncultivated. Scarlet clover will be
a short crop for the want OF mols-
!, ture at the proper time.
