PAGE FOUB an Speak ers to Bring Mes sage of Church Nationally Known Speakers Will Give "History of Catholic Church in Open Air Meetings. The committee selected by the Catholic Daughters met last night to make further arrangements for wel coming David Goldstein of Boston and Theodore II. Dorsey his assistant to riattsmouth. These Catholic cam paigners for Christ are booked to address the people assembled out in the open Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 9 and 10 at 7:45 o'clock at the court house. The topic up for discussion is "The Credentials of the Catholic Church." The sneakers will deliver their message from a specially constructed lecture car which is attractively painted in papal colors. It is decor ated with a crucilix r.nd flags to sym bolize the cause it seeks to advance, that cf God and country. Inside the rear part of this open lecture car is a compartment fitted with batteries, dynamo, microphones and other ma chinery for the electrical transmis sion of the speakers voices. Through three horns raised on a twelve-foot mast, which is carried in three parts on the running board of the car when traveling, the voices are amplified so as to be heard for a considerable dis tance.. The committee desires it to be specifically announced that these visitors are coming to Plattsmouth "to. set forth the doctrines, history and practices of the Catholic church with Christian charity and not in a controversial or belligerent spirit. Their mission is one of good-will and therefore it is not to be anti-Protestant, anti-Jewish, nor anti-anything-clse. It is an endeavor to enlighten the uninformed, to try and transform the misunderstanding, which some times manifests in a spirit of intol erance, into a sympathetic under standing of what twenty millions of Americans who are Catholics really believe." A quiz period is announced to fol low the address when any person in the audience is welcome to ask ques tions related to the subject discussed with the assurance that they will be answered to the best of the speak er's ability and in a frank and court eous manner. This is considered to be one of the striking features of WANT SCHOOL MAINTAINED Residents in the extreme western portion of school district No. 1, who have in the past been served by the Mcreerville school, Tuesday made pro test when the school was not open ed for the regular teaching term.

It is in tended to give those seeking further information, as well as those who may disagree with the contention of the speaker, an opportunity to sound a Catholic personally as to the reasons of his belief. When interviewed regarding this unique campaign work. David Gold stein said: "The streets, squares and narks are thp natural forums of a free people, therefore, I do not be Iieve that they should be monopol ized, as they have been, by propa gators of treason,, blasphemy and half-truths. I have campaigned be fore I entered the Catholic church for a movement which I then thought held in its keeping the solution of the grave problems that confront the poor. But like Millerand, Briand and Herve of France, Mussolini and Pipini of .Italy, Blatchford of England Spargo of our country, and others I was brought, long years before they were, to the realization that radical ism is but an idealist dream that arouses passion and leads to an in- tolerable injustice. I came to the elusion that the peace based upon justice, which the hearts of all good men yearn for, depends upon a moral- itv fnnnilpil nnon the teachings of the Christian religion; that all other ideals are worse than dreams for they lead to disruption." "I know that our fellow-Americans are fair; that they believe inc free Speech and religious liberty; that they need but to be approached in a frank, truthful and courteous way to get" a hearing from them even for the Catholic church, the most misunder- j stood institution in the world. I be lieve that the time has come when the voice of the laity of that oldest, most sublime, universal and Divine organization that Christ commission ed to teach should be heard and un derstood, if only to bring about a better appreciation of each others viewpoint. Christ has been good to me. He has led me from error into truth, and in return I mean to show my love for Him by making His church better known. Tins I shall en deavor to do with Christian courtesy. I am coming to your city, not for the purpose of arousing religious animosities, there is too much of that already in the world. My purpose is to explain, for animosities do not exist among men of good will when they know the facts in the case. My talk in your city will he religiously Christian and patriotically Ameri can." The meeting will be held Saturday and Sunday nights at 7:43 o'clock. CHURCH CHORUS AT THE COUNTY FAIR A new feature at our county fair this year will be the inter-church chorus, sponsored by the County Ministers and Layraens League.

There will be a brief rehearsal at 10:20 in the Congregational church. Programs, with information regard ing the sing.-jiave been sent to th2 pastors over the county. Our goal has been set at 500 voices. Whether we reach this num ber or fall far short depends on the response of the church people over the county. Join in the sing and help make this one of ths outstanding events of the fair. The churches of Murdock and Elm wood are having two union practices this week. Other churches arc urged to rehearse so as to become very familiar with the songs. Iet us make it a real Gospel song fest. II. A. XOREXBERG, J. W. SHEPARD. The Committee.
