The Junior Church is extending
an invitation to the Senior Church
and friends to worship at our
Junior Service at 1920 a. M, Sun
day. Come and hear the Junior
Choir. We are thanking you in

The chitterling and chicken din
ner that the Christian Leaf Club
gave last Saturday at the Mems
goth Century Club Room, 8121z
9th Ave. NJ, was recommended
very highly by all the customers.
Mesdames Charles Woodson,
Katie Allen, Thomas Langum and
Mr.. George Jackson motored to
Milwaukee last week to attend the
funeral of their brother-in-law,
Mr.. Carter.
Everyone missed a treat last
Sunday evening who did not hear
Rev. H. Reddick's sermon. He de-
livered a real spiritual message
which was beneficial to all.

Bethesda-The Rev. J. J. Clay
burne returned from Iowa, where
he was invited to preach the
previous Sunday, was in the pull
pit of Bethesda last Sunday morn
ing. Before his sermon he spoke
at some length of his trip and of
some of the incidents that had inn
pressed him and which offered a
basis for his exhortations of the
day. Choosing his subject from the
book of Daniel and the experiences
of the three faithful Christian
men who chose rather to suffer
the flames of the superheated fur
mace than to deny their God he
urged his hearers to follow their
example and remain true to their
convictions and duty. The I'M
provement Club that has success
fully given some money raising
effort in behalf of a fund to make
needed church repairs, reported the
result of their work. Having made
more than forty dollars from their
first effort, and with the money in
the bank, they plan to go forward
to complete what they have be-
gun.
The Church was reminded that
1nion Thanksgiving services will
be held in Bethesda Thursday
morning, st. Peter and st. James
cooperating.

facts concerning the Thessalonians,
which constitute the foundation
facts of normal Christian expert
ence.
/. "Work of Faith" This relates
to their belief Of the gospel which
brought them into living relation
ship with the Lord Jesus Christ,
and also to their Christian activity
growing out Of their faith. Jesus
said in answer to the question
"What must we do that we may
work the works of God?" This Id
the work of God that ye believe
on him whom he hath sent" John
6:2S, 29).
2. Labor of Love-" This means
the spirit by which they performed
their Christian duties 1t was the
expression Of the law Of life issu-
ing from the enforcement Of Jesus
Christ in their hearts.
8. Patience Of Hope" This re-
fers to the strength Of their endur-
ance growing out Of their expecta-
ton of the speedy return Of the
Lord. The transcendent theme Of
Paurs preaching at Thessalonica
was the second coming Of Christ
(Acts 17:O.
III. Tho Reasons for PauI's
Thanksgiving (VV. 40.
1. Their election Of God wv. 4,
81. Their reception Of the gospel
was the unmistakable evidence of
their divine selection. The gospel
came in power and In the Holy
Spirit. They did not receive the
gospel in mere theory, but IN the
power of the holy Ghost. Where 1t
is received, the consequent life will
manifest itself.
2. They received Paul as a mes
senger of God ". g.. The recep-
ton of the gospel Is largely deter
mined by the kind Of preacher. Its
reality will be detected In the life
of the messenger.
3. The changed life of the Thes-
salonians ". y. They became
followers''-that Is, their lives were
changed by the power Of the Cos
pei The order in Christian expe-
rience is the reception of the Cos
pei, the changed life, and then the
example. The ThesSalonianS be-
came examples to all In Macedonia.
W. The Missionary Activity Of
the Thessalonlana ". 81.
Their experience Of the life of
Jesus Christ was so real to them
that they at once became mission
aries. The word Of the Lord was
so widely and effectively sounded
forth that when the apostles re-
turned they needed mot to speak
anything" This Is az 1t should be
when the gospel is received In the
power Of the Holy Ghost. The Cos
pei Is good news. Good news can
not be kept to oneself; it must be
given out.
v. The Results Of PauPs Preach
ing (vV. 8, 10Y.
l. They turned from idols ". 81.
ThessalOnica was a city largely CIV
en- up to idolatry. Statues were to
be seen almost everywhere. The
fruits of Paul's preaching were the
changed lives of the people. They
turned away from idols and gath
cred together around Jesus Christ

were deserted and the churches
filed.
2. Awaiting the coming of Jesus
Christ ". 10). Their faith was so
real that they looked for the per-
sonal return of the Lord Jesus
Christ to the earth. The second
coming of Christ was a real tenet Of
faith of the early church. 1t is so
now wherever the gospel is really
preached. "And every man that
hath this hope in him purifeth him.
sch, even as he is pure" Il John
3.3).

The privilege Of the chains, for
centuries considered almost sacred
In Austria, is being questioned In
Vienna and may go. The chains are
those stretching between stone posts
to form a fence around an estate.
In Vienna these chains are a SYM
Dol that the house belongs to a
noble, and that neither the police
nor any public authority may pass
within them under any pretext
whatever. They represent q sepa-
ration between the nobility and the
middle classes. People used even
to take off their hats as they passed
the house and Its chains, the owner
being all-powerful on his territory.
Now that Vienna 10 no longer the
capital of a great empire the chains
are to be merely interesting vestiges
Of a power that is past.

!. PauI's Greeting ". u.


In this salutation Paul associates
with himself Silas and Timothy. ST.
las was with him at the founding
Of the church, and Timothy was the
special messenger sent unto them,
upon whose report this letter is
based (3:1, p.
In this epistle he sets forth the
peculiar position of the safety of
the church. 1t is ''in God the Fa-
Their and in the Lord Jesus Christ"
knowledge Of the absolute security
Of the believer in Christ makes him
courageous to meet trials and op-
position. Two features character
ize this greeting, "Grace be
unto you and peace" "Grace" ex-
presses Gods attitude toward them |;
peace" the resultant experience in
their lives.

Zion-Zion began her last Sun

the Sunday School attendance well
over the hundred mark. This was
most gratifying because of the
presence of several representatives
of the State Sunday School and

struck her on the head with the butt Of
his whip. He had been in the habit Of
whipping and abusing her. He was
compelled to travel in the middle Of
the train and given to understand II

ed accordingly.
"wednesday, 9th. Came to Tongue
river. 1t is quite deep and it took us
some time to cross as we had to raise
the wagon boxes to keep them out of
the water. We drove until the middle
of the afternoon, when the head team
came rushing back with the cry of In
dams! Two hundred of them!' Nearly
half men were out hunting antelope
and buffalo. We coralled Immediately.
The guns were loaded and the Indians
were soon on top of the hill, urging
us to 60 down. They refused to take
anything offered them, insisting on our
coming down the hill. This looked
somewhat like hostility, as it was a bad
hill and a narrow pass at the foot.
However, we started. The OK train
came up in the meantime and went
down with us. The Indians stood in
line at the bottom. Instead of two
hundred there were about ninety. They
did not offer any molestation, and we
drove On a little ways and camped,
forming a long circle. The Indians
followed all the way, and men walked.
carrying guns. They gave the Indians
some bacon, sugar, flour, etc., tied the
horses and mules inside the corral and
appointed a double guard for the
night.
Saturday, June 30. AS we neared
the Big Horn river we found that there
were already three trains ahead of us.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1934-08-03

We found we should be obliged to lie
over for a chance to cross. One large
train had been there two weeks, an
other four days.
July l, Sabbath. William and
Townie found some old mountain
friends last night who were just cross
ing the river. We went over with their
train. Two men had been drowned from
the train ahead and they lost mules
and wagons. The wagons had to be un-
loaded and things carried across in the
boats, three of them, each consisting Of
two long, large logs dashed together.
we found plenty of Indians on the
other side, gazing at us as though we
were a curiosity"
Here Mrs. Fletcher'S record becomes
silent until the party reached Virginia
City, ten weeks after starting from Bel
levue, Nebraska. On July 81: Friday
eve. Do you know this is our day of
rejoicing? We have reached Virginia
City at last! Tonight we camped two
and a half miles from the CITY. Billy
and Townie have both gone down to
tnelr shop at Highland, three quarters
OF a mile distant. We reached Virginia

wet I am sure I shall never COM
plain as long as I am as comfortable as
I am now. We have plenty Of every
thing good in our large wagon. We have
dried apples, peaches, prunes, and cur
rants, canned peaches-two cases Of
them, each containing two dozen
cans-canned green corn, oysters, a
case of blackberry wine, sixteen quarts
of tomato catsup, and I don't know
what all. We have five hundred
pound sacks of flour, bacon, ham, cod
fish, potatoes and butter, plenty of tea,
coffee. sugar, molasses, and vinegar.
"Perhaps you would like to know how
we have our meals. At night we US
ually camp at four or five O'Clock.
-Four is the usual hour. Our little cook
stove is unloaded from a rack made
for it at the back of the wagon. The
fire is built and the tent up in quick
time. We cook some things, but us
ually warm up things left over from
morning. We take the endboard Of
large wagon, which Is quite a large
board, and put it across u two pro-
vision boxes, put around our tin dishes,
set the food out and proceed to seat
ourselves wherever we like to eat. We
have three chairs and several small
boxes used to feed the horses in, so we
make out very well for seats At
moor we usually camp at eleven o'clock
and stop for an hour and a half or two
hours. We only take off the trunk
which we carry provisions in.
"wednesday, May %. Saw several
large trains across Wood river, n of
them nearly a mile long. Came up
with a train at night, mostly bound for
Oregon. Besides, there was a large
cattle train" (This was Nelson Story's
train with some 5000 head of cattle,
the first ever brought up the trail from
TexaS).
MAY Is. We have travelled at
the rate of over thirty miles a day this
week.
Sabbath, 9th. Our Oregon wagons
have left us. They wouldn't lie over on
the Sabbath, and were up and away
quite early. There were four wagons
stayed with us, and another came up
quite early. One of the men
washed his clothes today, and one wo-
nan (the only one in the train besides
ourselves) did out her washing. She
is an Oregon woman, and has been
there for fifteen years. She says that
she has crossed the plains before, and
shall wash when she gets the oppor-
tunity. Chell and I preferred not to
have our washing done for the pres
ent, rather than employ our Sabbath
that way. It seemed rather a strange
Sabbath, away by ourselves in such a
quiet place. I thought of the Sabbaths
in Cuba, and wished that I might
transport myself to our little church
and enjoy its privileges. Not that I
wished myself back, but the days are
usually all alike to many who travel
on the plains.
Tuesday, goth. Had to pass over
some sandy bluffs TODAY. They were
very steep and hard pulling for the
horses. Everybody walked,

went back after his two daughters,
both young ladies. His wife is dead,
and the girls are going to keep house
for their father.
"Some men from another train over
took us in the forenoon. The train is
mostly mules. We have concluded to
join them, the OK train travels so slow.
They all seemed to regret our leaving
very much. Kate Caldwell was over
to see US at noon, and we went over
to their wagon and they showed us
their albums. There are only four
ladies in the train besides us-a young
Mrs. Light, the two Caldwell girls and
Kitty somebody-Little Kitty, they us
ually call her. She is with her BROTH
er, a shy little thing. Camped at five
o'clock with the new train. The wagons
are corraled in a circle, and most of the
tents set inside the Enclosure.
There are ove twenty-five wagons
in the train and vel sixty men. A good
many families in the train. Mr.. Cooper,
the captain, has his wife and two chill
dren along.
Thursday, June 81. Reached Fort
Reno. Became acquainted with a Mrs.
OoPodAA1 4ooAJ " SpA Al1SA1C10, 411441O1o,
a bride, married in April, starting on
her journey next day after they were
married. Several of the soldiers were
down from the fort. There are only
eighty men there. Two gay young
lieutenants are all the officers in COM
mand.
Friday, June %. We were walked in
the night by the sound of a run around
camp. Nearly all the men were up.
Found that the soldiers had been
around instead of Indians.
Sunday, June "a. We rested, and
had the day to ourselves. Nearly every
woman in camp except ourselves has
been washing. They make the excuse
that they haven't the chance to wash
only occasionally, and as the water is
good and the wood plenty, they thought
they were excusable for washing. Quite
a number of the men, among them
Townie, went out prospecting for gold.
Another man has been shoeing horses
all day.
Covered wagon days also had their
family troubles. Mrs. Fletcher records
on Monday, the 25th: Suddenly the
cry came Mr.. Smith has killed his
wife,. The men rushed back to see If
it was true. Hang him! Stretch him
up to the first tree!' they cried . They
found the woman was not dead, only

party had come to the new road called
'Bozeman'S Cutoff known as a much
shorter route to Montana than the
other, known as 'Lander's Cutoff"
The party had been warned of the
possibility of Indian trouble along the
Bozeman trail. At Fort Laramie Mrs.
Fletcher recorded the Indians had
been called to the fort for a treaty.
This was the attempt of 1866 to bring
about peace between the Indians and
the whites as regards the fine hunt
ing country traversed by the Bozeman
trail. The Indians were adamant in
demanding the country be reserved to
them and the road be abandoned. At
this conference, just a few days after
the Fletcher party had passed Fort
Laramie, Chiefs Red Cloud and Man
Afraid of his Horses informed General
Darlington, then on his way to estab-
lish forts along the Bozeman trail, that
the Sioux fighting men had not come
to the conference and he would have
to fight them on the road north. The
government threatened to keep the In
dams at the fort all summer, or until
the treaty was made. The treaty was
not made, however, and Indian troubles
finally forced the abandonment of the
forts in 1868. Almost on the heels of
the Fletcher party came the initial
outbreaks which wrote blood into the
history of Montana migration from
Fort Laramie to the Yellowstone.
Mrs. Fletcher continues: Monday,
18th. Kate Caldwell brought over a
plate of antelope meat. Mr.. Caldwell
is captain of the train, and a very
pleasant man, formerly from Pennsyl-
vania. He has been in Montana for a
few years past, farming. Last fall he
