"The boys reported at the Sioux
City recruiting office Monday after
noon and were accepted for service.
They were sent to the training camp
at Ft. Logan, Colo., Wednesday,
where they will be stationed for a
month or more before being assign
ed to duty.
Frank Sides will enter the signal
corps, and will report for duty Sat

off and bid them God speed on their
mission of loyalty. Before the boys
left town a collection amounting to
about $G0 was taken up and given
them for spending money on the
journey.
The boys requested us to extend
their sincere thanks to the people of
Dakota City for the excellent treat
ment and interest shown in their ef
fort to aid the country in time of
trouble.
The squad got away for Omaha
Wednesday morning at 7:45 in
charge of "Capt" Howard Rockwell,
who was delegated by the recruiting
officer to pilot them to their destina
tion. M. E. Church Notes.
F. J. Aucock, Pastor.
We have a special notice touching
next Sunday's services. A special
.campaign of an educational nature
is being conducted throughout the
church at large to make the mem
bers better acquainted with the
great program of the church. Next
Sunday four speakers will take
charge of the services. At 11 a. m.
Rev. W. Kilburn, of Allen, will speak
on "Christian Stewardship" and the
Pastor on "The World Program of
the Church." At 8 p. m. Rev. E. E.
Hosman, of Norfolk, will speak on
"Methodist Press and Literature"
and Rev. E. T. Antrim, of Coleridge,
on "Financial Plans." Every mem
ber should be present at both ser
vices. A close attention to these ad
dresses will open many windows of
the mind. The trouble with most
members is that their vision of the
church is narrow, small, and local.
The churches are suffering from
"Localitis."
I do not know of course just what
the other speakers have in mind, but
I do know that the address on "The
World Program of the Church" will
give most of the hearers a new line
of thought. What are the "Benev
olences?" An annoying featute of
every year, when we are worried
for subscriptions? Is that your idea?
"Oh well, here's a dollar!" "How
much did I give last year? Two dol
lars? Put that down again." And
then the incident -closes. Thank
goodness nothing more of that for a
year. What are the benevolences?
Foreign Missions, Home Missions,
Christian Education, Bible Society,
Temperance Society. Sunday School
Board, The Freedmen's Aid. Are
these really benevolences? Is it be
nevolent to support Foreign mis
sions? Let me suggest that it is
just doing what Jesus commanded
us to do. So with Home missions
and the rest. These are not benevo
lences, these are just the program
of the church of Jesus Christ based
on his great commission "Go ye into
all the world and make disciples of
all nations...." If you are not
loyal to the benevolences you are
not loyal to the church, you are not
loyal to the Master. Our local
church means much to us but In
comparison with the whole meaning
of the church it is an insignificant
trifle. Yet many of us are pouring
all our affection on a trifle and for
getting its purpose, are isolating
ourselves from the real definite pro
gram of the whole church. Other
wise a severe attack of "localitis."
You say you did not know all this;
just so hence our educational pro
gram. And now like tho cheap-jack,
having exhibited my wares, I sav
"Come along and get into line."
Don't forget next Sunday at 11
and 8.
In furtherance of the above idea
the nastor snoke at Ponca last Friday,
and is at Maskel and Wynot Monday
and Tuesday of this week.
The quarterly conference has been
changed. It will probably bo held
on Saturday afternoon of this week.
