(HUN ENDEAVOR CONVENTION.
Thirteenth Annual Session Proves
An Interesting Affair.
EadmioMN Conclude m Pleasant Two
Days' elon At Elmwood, And Ac
cept An Iovltntloo to Hold Their Next
Convention At Greenwood Marriage
of George Lehnoff.
The thirteenth . convention of the
Christian Endeavor Union was held
at Elmwood June 23-24. It proved to
be one of the most helpful conventions
that the Endeavorers ever attended.
Parliaments were given a prominent
place a the program, and the parlia
ments on local officers, the pledge and
committee work were entered into
with interest by the members of the
convention, and, by an interchange of
plans, many new ways of making the
work more effective were noted. The
convention was called to order by the
oresldent. Miss Lottie Pollard, at 3
m
o'clock Wednesday.
After the devotional meeting. Miss.
Olive Gass, of Plattsmouth, took
charge of the parliament on "local
officeis," and, after a review of the
duties of officers, the best method of
accomplishing the duties assigned
them was discussed. This parlia
meet was followed by a very interest
ing talk by Rev. Cyrus Alton of Elm
wood. After a meeting of the execu
tive committee, an adjournment whs
taken until 7:45 p. m.
lathe evening a very fine address
was given by Judge George Magney
of Omaha. Mr. Magney commended
the spirit of brotherly love engen
dered by this interdenominational fel
lowsblrx He also spoke of the in
creased strength and usefulness oi the
church of the future as a direct result
of the training and self-reliance pro
moted by the society of Christian En
deavor in giving the young people
connected with it some definite work
to do. After the conclusion of Judge
Magney's discourse, Rev. T. A. Lamp
ton gave a short talk on the subject,
"The Greatest of These Is Love."
The session Thursday morning was
opened with a prayer service con
ducted Dy Chas. Rivett of Elmwood.
A business meeting was next held, at
which the following officers were
elected: President, Rev. T. A. Lamp
ton, Union; vice-president, L. A. Ty
son, Elmwood; secretary, J. T. Jones,
Weeping Water; treasurer. R C. Pol
lard, Nehawka; superintendent of
junior work, Mrs. W. D. Ambler,
Weeping Water; superintendent of
missions, Mrs. L. A. Munger, Platts
mouth. An invitation to meet at
Greenwood for the next convention
was accepted. It was decided to
hold the next convention in June, '98.
A parliament on "the pledge" was
conducted by Rev. T. A. Lampton.
The Endeavorers testified to finding
the following features of the pledge
especially helpful: "Trusting in the
Lord Jesus Christ for btrength, I
promiBe"; "I will make it the rule of
my life to pray and read the bible
every day"; "And to support my own
church in every way."
The parliament on "committee
work" was conducted by Superinten
dent G. L. Farley of Plattsmouth. Mr.
Farley suggested that the committees
be not confined to five, but that the
"lookout committee" and the "social
committee" should have a large num
ber of workers. He also suggested
that the associate members could be
given work to do in these committees.
Thursday afternoon was devoted to
a symposium, "The Christian Endeav
orers," and this was followed by an
address by Rev. Pastern of Elmwood.
The symposium was conducted as fol
lows: "How can We Win New Girls?
by Miss Luella Mathews,Plattsmouth.
"How can We Win New Boys?" by
Mrs. Dell Munger of Plattsmouth.
"Girls In the Home," by Mrs. T. A.
Lampton of Union. "The Endeavorer
and Temperance," by Mrs. K. A.
Kirkpatrlck of Nehawka. "The En
deavorers in the Church Prayer
Meeting," by Mr. Sykes of Union.
"The Endeavorers and the Sabbath
School," by Mrs. Grace Countryman
of Nehawka. On account of the very
threatening weather Rev. Postern did
not give his address.
Thursday evening the meeting was
opened by a song service and after a
short prayer meeting, the consecra
tion service was led by Mr. James
Torrance of Weeping Water. At roll
call, each delegation responded by re
peating, in concert, an appropriate
verse of scripture.
This service closed the thirteenth
convention of the S. C. E.
The Christian Endeavorers of Elm
wood deserve special thanks for the
complete arrangements made for the
comfort and happiness of their guests.

was notified to serve some papers at

couldn't wait until daylight. Grandma

H. ft. Thompson, Alias Lev ere Brown,
Sleek Hotel Beat. Captured.
A few days ago a man stopped at
the Riley in this city aDd claimed to
be a machine agent of some sort. He
registered as H. R. Thompson, and af
ter tiring of the town he quietly
slipped across the river without pay
ing his board. Deputy Sheriff Mur
phy was sent after him and finding he
had been at Glen wood, where he
registered as Levere Brown, he went
on to Red Oak, where the wily dead
beat was captured. He refused to re
turn until requisition papers were
gotten out, which is being done today
and he will be brought back for trial
tomorrow. The Riley folks propose
to make an example of him and prove
that beating board bills Is not profit
able business.
