The Kearney Presbytery, which

day evening, Wednesday and yes
terday was not attended by quite

time was devoted to routine work
On Wednesday eveninir H. T. Arm
strong was ordained a minister,
and will go to Persia to enter the
missionary work. Following' this
ordination Key. Thos. Marshall,
field secretary of the foreign
missions, delivered an address
ilontr the line of the results of
foreign missions whether foreign
missions pay. Dr. Marshall has
traveled in nearly all foreign lauds,
and spoke from personal observa
tions and experiences. He showed
that by sending Missionary Whit
man to Oregon the section em
braced in that state and Washing
ton was saved to this country, and
through it we virtually secured
Alaska by purchase. The mis
sionaries entered the Sandwich
Islands when the inhabitants were
semi-cannibals and they opened the
way for civilization and the Gnal
annexation by this government o
those islands. Japan owed much
of its enlightenment and commer
cial advancement to the advent o
missionaries; and through nil the
history of missionary work is seen
the excellent effect of the efforts in
that direction not only in the ad
vancement of civilizing influences
but in the saying ot precious souls.
The missionary work is certainly
worth its cost. This address
throughout was most interesting,
and it is regretted that the wet
and stormy weather preyented a
larger attendance.

Chas. II. Boyle and his company
will be the attraction at the opera
house next Monday evening, in
"The Star Boarder," This farce
coined' has been constructed
entirely for laughing purposes and
for the introduction of many vaude
ville features. Judging from the
press notices the piece has rcceiyed
enroute to the coast, "The Star
Uoardei" evidently pleased the
people and fulfills its intended pur
pose. The company selected to
support Uoyle is largely composed
of well known people, whose
specialties, individual and collec
tive, form the chief portion of the
entertainment. The action of the
piece is decidely switt and every
thing goes with snap and vim that
is so necessary to the success of a
tarcc comedy. Chas. Boyle 1b a
comedian who is already well and
favorably known to theatre goers
as a farce feature. He is alo the
author of the piece in which he is
starring. Miss Sue Belle Mead ir
one of the leading members of the
company and a songstress of con
siderable repute. Viola Bennett is
another valuable member of the
aggregation. It was she who com
posed and arranged all the musical
numbers, songs and medleys in
The Star Boarder."
