and the giving of substance. His ad

who were privileged to hear it.
A World View of the Church
. In this there were to have been
five speakers, but owing to the fact
that L. C. Oberlies was called away
he was not present to participate in
his part of the discourse. The par
ticular branch he was to have touch
ed upon was "In the Bible School."
This was taken care of by some other
speakers to some extent. Mrs. Claud
Johnson, of Nebraska City spoke re
garding the "Christian Endeavor So
ciety" and showed how in that de
nartnient the church was getting a
view of the world, and through the
element of the world's society. With

followed Mrs. Linnie Schwab, of Lin

Missionary Society." telling how the
women are carrvinc the Gospel to
the world through their organized
efforts in this direction.
C. E. Whitaker, of this city, spoke
on the subject. "In the Church" and
made one of the best addresses of the
fonvention thus far. Ill fact he
brought the laboring world in con
tact with the church and offered so
lutions ns to how the church might
best get in touch with. that essential
elemen of he world's society. With
the closing of his address which was
well received, the convention ad
journed until the evening.
The Evening Session
The evening program was begun
with a devotional period, conducted
by i:. H. Talley. of Nebraska City,
and was one which was more of an
inquiry than a direct Miggest ion. it
dealing with the thir.gs which have
been l.'lt unsettled and unanswered
in atVairs which the church as a
tru!v missionary church should hail

Following this. was an address by

VENTION CHRIS
TIAN CHURCH
OPENED HERE LAST EVENING
WITH LARGE NUMBER OF
DELEGATES PEESENT
A GET ACQUAINTED SESSION
Initial Meeting: of the Convention
Occasions Much Interest The
State Workers Present.
From Tliursila's I'ally.
The first session of the Second Pis
trict convention of the Christian
churches of this district, was held
last evening at the First Christian
church in this city.
The initial meeting was mostly im
promptu in character, but was filled
with the greatest of interest. The
speakers of the evening were Ij. ('.
Oberlies. prominent Sunday school
worker of the state; Paul Kains. of
Omaha, also an authority on Sunday
school work and Win. Oeschlager.
who was formerly dean of Cotner
I'niversity. but who is now secretary
or the Nebraska Christian Missionary
society. C. C. Oobhs. who is inter
ested in the young people's society,
the Christian Kndeavor. was also
prseent and outlined briefly what lie
was going to have to say today.
A splendid rertptiou. in the nature
of a get-acquainted session, follow
ed the program and light refresh
ments were serve d. This served it
purpose well and everybody enjoyed
themselves to the utmost, throwing
off for the time being the cloak of
formal stillness and getting right in
to the spirit of the occasion. Ilefore
the ir.il of the eiening everyone felt
that he was an old time friend of
everyone else present which will lie
reflected from day to day in the in
creased enthusiasm that will per
meate the convention. Much credit
is due Sister Khin and her assistants
for the pleasant manner in which
the evening's program was carried
out.
This Morning's Sessipn
The opening session of the con
vention today wkit prcsfdfvf over by
J. S. Spear, of Nebraska City, it be
ing of a devotional character and
having for its thought "The, Posy
Pawn" inspired from th scriptural
fpiovation. "Weeping may endure for
a night, but joy comet h in the morn
ing." The deep underlying idea the
meeting expressed was tlie coming
of better things, and the signs of the
times indicate that we may look for
a real awakening of Christianity,
wherein much of tlie formality of
present day living will be replaced
by real Christian living.
Conference Period

morning session, there were four dif
ferent groups of discussions pertain
ing to the four leading activities of
the church, they being The Christian

Kndeavor. by C C. Pobbs; ISible
School Work, by Paul llains. one of
the greatest and most eminently
qualified Sunday school workers in
the country, and State Missions, by

The discussions pertaining to each
groupwere well taken cure of by the
respective leaders and expressions on
the work were heard from various
interested parties.' Then followed a

Hojw Diphtheria is Contracted.
Ono often hears the expression
"My child cauuht a severe cold
which developed into diphtheria,
when the truth was that the cold
had simply left the little one par
ticularly susccpt ible to the wander
itiK diphtheria Kcrtn. If your child
has a cold when diphtheria is
prevalent you thould take him put
of school and keep him off the
street until fully recovered, as there
is a hundred times more danger of
his taking diphtheria when he has
a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given it quickly cures the
cold and lessens the danger of
diphtheria or any other eerin dis-e.-e

PLATTSMOUTH BOY
GETS A PROMOTION
HENRY TARTSCH RECEIVES
RECOGNITION OF HIS ABILITY
AS BUSINESS MANAGER.
'rm TMiir.lay's Daily.
As a recognition of his worth to
the tirni for which he works, the
Moore Clothing company of Sioux
City, Towa. have made Henry H.
Tartsch their general manager. Mr.
Tartsch had been in the employ, of
this firm for a number of years, and
has proven his worth to the insti
tution which employs him. he has
worked in most of the departments
in the institution from salesman, to
the posit ion which has now been
given him.
Mr. Tartsch spent his boyhood
and youth in this city, where he se
cured his education, and first had
any experience in the clothing busi
ness, in which line he is now an ex
pert. He first worked with S. & C
Mever, in the room where the Jour
nal office now is. and was at that
time in the Waterman Opera House
block. Later he worked with the
Frank J. Morgan Clothing company,
both here and at McCook, and at the
time of the death of Mr. Morgan,
and the closing of the business, went
to Sioux City, Iowa, where he has
leen since. Henry is a man of the
best judgment in the clothing busi
ness as is evidenced by his selection
as the general manager of this in
stitution, wihch employs some thir
ty people as salesmen in its differ
ent departments. Plattsniouth can
well be satisfied with the excellent
quality of the young men who have
gone out from her schools and plac
es of business to make a place for
themselves in the world of business,
and other channels.

CLOTHES are not a luxury

CLOTHES are like a breath of

in short, they fairly "peppify" one's entire activity

CLOTHES don't "make a man" but they DO
