He called back to many people who came to enjoy the Rock Bluffs day festivities the good times which they had en joyed at the gatherings in the days which have gone into history. Every one enjoyed his playing and-his gen ial good nature.

Scott, A. G. Hollowell and V. R. Robb. The services yesterday were Very inspirational, and in charge of the large choir was Miss Hazel B. Robb, of North Bend, Nebraska, that ad ded very much to the impressiveness of the various sessions as the musical program was very extensive. The opening of the fiftieth anni- verysary services was by a joint ses sion or the Christian cnurcn Bible schools of Cass county that was most inspiring and the occasion marked also the presentation of the Cass county Sunday school banners to the various schools by Rev. V. E. Goings of Louisville, and to which O. C. Hudson of this city offered the re sponse, resident Cyrus Livingston of the Cass county association, also spoke on "Can Plattsmouth Keep the Banners?" At the morning worship hour at 11 o'clock the services were opened! by the Rev. V. E. Goings, of Louis ville, and the visiting members of the church from the various towns over the county were welcomed by the Rev. Walter R. Robb, pastor of the local church, in his usual pleas ing manner. During this service a special musical number was offered by the Weeping Water male quar tet composed of Harold Harmon, Clyde Jenkins, Cyrus Livingston and Harrison Livingston. I The sermon at tho morning ses sion was delivered by tho Rev. Vir gil Sly, pastor of the Christian church at Greenwood, who in his discourse took as his subject the fact that the present day worshipper is rather a worshiper of the church to which he might balong rather than of God. His question as propounded by the sermon to the congregation was Are you worshiping your cnurcn or your God?" The speaker also touched on "What is God?" and this was followed by a very clear and concise statement of the right wor ship and the attainments of the true Christian belief. At the morning worship hour the mixed quartet composed of Mrs. R. V. Dennis, Mrs. Minnie Pickard, Frank A. Cloidt and B. A. McElwain gave a very pleasing number, it is Well with My Soul." The big basket'dlnner participated in by the larger part of the people of the church afforded a most enjoy able social hour. At the afternoon service the oc casion was devoted to a Home Com ing: for the Plattsmouth church and In which the neighboring churches manner. The invocation was given j by John G. Alber. 8tate secretary of the Nebraska Christian churches, and the special musical numbers of this service wrere by the Plattsmouth mixed quartet, whose offering was "The Church in the Wildwood," and the Weeping Water quartet, which sang "Just Outside the Door." Thomas Wiles, one of the leading workers of the church, gave a history of the church here, with which he 'has been for so many years identi fied. The history was largely of the foundation of the church and gave those in attendance some impression of the privations and trials of the early members in this county. The address of the afternoon was by Mr. Albers, who took as his sub iect. "The Characteristics of the Church of Christ Its Beauty, Glory! and Divinity." He emphasized it as an institution that has no equal, has no comparison with any other insti tution for it has no earthly claims for its origin. He brought out the need of the church in the human life. To illustrate this need of the church in the life of the individual he pointed out the fact that a por tion of the human body cut off from its members would be lifeless. The ! individual who thinks he can live! without the church is as useless as ! the hand or arm severed from the j body. At this service also Mrs. R. ! V. Dennis and Frank A. Cloidt gave, a special duet number, "For This One Day" and the Weeping Water ; quartet also offered one of their j beautiful selections that added to the i enjoyment and pleasure of the large congregation. At this service the older members of the church were saluted as their names were called, as a tribute ofi recognition to them. ! Preceding the evening hour there were business sessions of the Cass County Christian association offb-ers and the Christian Endeavor services. At the evening hour a large num ber fo the guests from out of the city had been compelled to leave on account of the threatening weather and this detracted from the service' to the extent that they were unable ; to participate in the musical num bers. The musical numbers were the bass solo. "Hold Thou My Hand," by B. A. McElwain: "Teach Me to Pray." by Mrs. R. V. Dennis, and the Platts mouth mixed quartet offering "Be cause He Loved Me So." Rev.

Seek ye the old paths, where is the good way and walk therein. And they said: We will not walk therein." The speak er pointed out the pathways as a highway of holliness, a plain high way, a safe highway, a highway of sacrifice, a highway of happiness, and these together make up the old paths. The old paths with reference to Christian faith is the Divinity of Jesus, the integrity of scriptures. The services were the most not able that have been held in the church here and will be followed by the evangelistic services conducted for the betterment of the commun ity and the residents who have this opportunity to join their lives with the Christian faith.
