practically unanimous in tho opinion
that tho Rcdpath-IIornor Co. has es
tablished a reputation in North Platto
for furnishing excellent talent, and
that on this reputation made they aro
practically nssu'red patronago In the
futuro sufficient to Justify thorn com
ing without a committee guaranteeing
a certain sum which sum is always
moro than sufficient to cover actual
oxponsos, and whatever Is taken In at
tho gato on slnglo admissions repre
sents tho net lncomo to tho company.
If, therefore, wo aro to havo a Chau
taiDqua In 1918 tho Rcdpath-Horner
company must como without bolng
guaranteed In, isiidyanco the salo of
$1400 in season tickets.
This year tho salo of season tickets
fell about $130 short of tho sum guar
antied and this deficit was modo up by
tho fifty-one who stood as financial
backers sonfb of whom took and paid
for moro tickets than they used.

The Lutherans of the local church
have extended' Invitation to tho people
of Westorn Nebraska and to tho city
churches to attondd their celebration
this wook, August 9th and 10th.
Tho evening services will be hold In
the Methodist church. A strong mu
sical program will bo given by solect
voices and the orchestra under di
rection of Earl Stamp. Fouir addresses
by loading men of the Lutheran church
from Nobraska, Illinois and Kansas
will bo given. Ono addross each ov
onlng and two tho afternoon of tho
picnic
"October 31st, this year, will mark
the 400th anniversary of the Reforma
tion, a movemont considered by tho
historians as tho germ of all modern
liberty, not only religious, but civil
as well.
"Therefore at various times during
the year 1917, largo meetings or festiv
ities are bolng held in commemoration
of tho Reformation in nearly all Prot
estant denominations of the world.
Tho main purpose of this celobratlon
is not to oxtrol Luther or other great
reformers but rather to remind our
selves of tho results of their labors
that wo might come to a bettor reali
zation of thoso truiths which never
die."
Tho Lutherans state the object of
their celebration In theso words: "We
celobrate tho Reformation of tho Six
teenth century in order to hasten the
Transformation of tho Twentieth." It
Is not to antagonizo or tear down any
othor faith or belittle any other, de
nomination, but to como to a better
knowledge of thoir own for greater
efficiency In tho great work of caring
for their own and doing their part in
tho great world evangelization In this
contury. It Is an opportunity to bear
testimony before the world to a faith
and practice which God has chosen
to make tho faith of many nations,
and which onrolls as her members
more than one-hal of the entire prot
03tant world. It Is a most favorable
opportunity to lead our pooplo into
a larger understanding of this glori
ous church and thereby to fire, their
hearts for greater achievements for
Christ and His Kingdom."
Already great fruit has been seen
Tho Norwegians who wore formerly
of three bodies havo united now with
a force of 500,000 communicants. Tho
three great English speaking branch
es have mado definite plans for a per
manent merger to bo concluded be
fore tho close of tho year, In Novom
her. This will bring together In ono
so-called United Lutheran church of
Amorlca 1,500,000 baptized members
nnd nearly a million adults.
In common with other churc.iM the
Luthoran church hns much " nave
tho sam e bible, samo form ot church
govornmon, tho samo obstacles to
ovorcome; and In this land of tho free
,thoy recognize that they havo tho samo
privileges, tho samo responsibilities
toward our government and toward
our fellowmon.
The Lutherans regard tho church as
a rollgious organization pure and sim
ple with distinctly spiritual activl
ties. In rofusing to substitute any
othor mossago in Us puuilpits for tho
oxposition of tho scriptures this church
Is often maligned and frequently mis
understood, but tho messages which
go out from tho pulpits always Insist
upon loyalty to country, obedience to
nil In authority, and respect for Uio law
of tho land. The Lutheran church can
point with prldo to Its history in Amor
lca where It was planted contemporan
eously with tho earliest settlements In
our land. Luthorans havo always de
fonded tho stara and stripes, and in
tho revolutionary, civil and Spanish
Amorlcan wars did hor sharo in tho
contribution of Bomo of her noblest
sons.

A Sermon On Lumber,
In conclusion my friends, we can't get away from
this lumber question. Why, every one of us
spent our first days in a cradle made of lumber.
Our lives have been lived between walls of two
by fours and lath, with rafters over our heads,
and matched flooring beneath our feet. We have
been sitting in wooden chairs, eating from wooden
tables, riding in wooden wagons, and in the course
of time will be laid to rest in wooden caskets.
Lumber is King in tho Construction World.
