"Where Quality Counts."
IN
Last Thurday evening at the Meth
odist church in this city Frank II. Leon
ard, of Brooklyn, N. Y., delivered a
lecture on Christian Science to a good
sized audience. Hon. R. B. Windham
presided at the meeting and introduced
the spaker.
Mr. Leonard is a very pleasant pub
lie speaker. He has a good voice and
a fine delivery. He said the Christian
Sciencs church had no creed, but that
it tun.9 to the Bible for its doctrine.
He said in part: "The work which
Christian Science is doing for mankind
today is enabling us to eliminate from
consciousness the belief that there is
any other life than the spiritual, and is
bringing dominion and power to the
one who before was held in bondage,
subject to all things, master of none.
When Jesus said, if a man keep my
sayings, he shall never see death,' the
saying he referred to was this: 'He
that believeth on me, the works that I
do shall he do also; and greater works
than these shall he do: because I go
unto my Father.' The works he was
doing when he made this statement
were these: he was healing the sick,
clear.sir.g the lepers, casting out evils,
and raising the dead, 'by the Spirit of
Gad,'-to His glory, and to the libera
tion of all those who turned to Him."
He showed how Christian Science
had grown from a half dozen believers
in 18o, until now it maintains churches
in an Puri3 01 ir' country, and in al
most every civilized nation of the
world. He said the lack of develop
ment in other churches, where they
were making little progress, was due
to the fact that they were not doers of
lhe work. While not all of his auditors
agreed with him, they were pleased
with hid address.

,-That the Ladies of the Degree of
Honor lodge at Cedar Creek are up-to
date and have set a pattern which
many other lodges could follow with
good results will be shown by the fol
lowing.
They have inaugurated what is called
entertainment for the good of the or
der, which period always follows at the
close of the regular business period of
the meeting.
The plan is to name a committee of
two members whose duty it is to see
that other members are furnished with
refreshments and some form of diver
sion at each meeting. At the next to
the last meeting Mrs. Anna Inhelder
and Mrs. Emma Sears had been ap
pointed 83 the committee before men
tioned.
They prepared a great many verses
each of which described a certain
tiower and inn lists or these were
passed to each member with the un
nouncement that the first one to return
the list with correctly written answers
would receive a prize, and the one who
made the worst showing was to get
booby prize.
The ladies entered into this with
great zeal and after the reckoning it
was found that Miss Eva Sayles and
Mrs. Ella WolfT had tied for 1st prize
which Mrs. WolfT won by the straw
pulling route, while Mrs. Mary Schne
der won the booby prize.
Ice cream and cake were then served
by the ladies on the committee.
Mrs. Ida Seybert and Miss EvaSayle
were appointed as the committee for
good of the order at the last meeting
Thee ladies prepared a very c'.eve
liean guessing contest called odd or
even, Mrs. Ella WoifT was first to lose
all her beans and received the boo!
prize while Mrs. Anna Given: has pos
session of all and thus won the first
prize.
A slight deviation from the usual
custom was the serving of ice cream in
cones. '
The gentlemen are always invited to
enjoy the occasion, and D. of H. night
is always looked forward to with dc
lightful anticipation by the members
and their friends.

The above shows the score by innings
in the ball game at the park Saturday
between Plattsmouth and the C. II. S.
base ball team from Omaha.
I-t was a rousing game and at the
iui of the eight inning our team looked
like a sure winner with the score 4 to 2
in its favor. But right here the Omaha
boys got in some heavy stick work and
the end of the score showed they had
added four runs to their list, and giv-
ing them a lend which it was impossible
to overcome, as the best the home team
could do was to make one score at the
last time to bat.
The heavy batting of Mann and
Sabatkin were features of the game.
In fact the latter batted so well he was
in to bat a little too often to suit the
umpire who was about to rule him out
during me eigntn limine: hut the matter
was settled by compelling the base run
ner on second to return to first.
Omaha made two double plays. One
from Kennedy to Kennedy retiring the
ase runner and batted and and from
Waugh to Kennedy, ditto.
Errors, Plattsmouth and Omaha 4.
In the fourth inning Mann had his
finger hurt and he was placed in the
eld with Fitzgerald behind the bat
and Beal on third.
The following shows the line up of
the teams:

Childrens' Day-
Exercises
Fine Program at Presbyterian
Church Yesterday.
The usual attendance at the Presby-

mented yesterday on account of the
program which had been announced fir
the celebration of Childrens'Day.
The church was beautifully decorated
for the occasion, and the sight of many
fl jwers and other emblems of nature.
with the song of birds and happy little
children, could but bring to the minds
of those present, that life is sweet,
and though woefully beset at times, we
have many things for which to be
thankful.
Geo. L. Farley, Supt., of the Sunday
school had charge of the program and
added many bright witticisms during
the announcements, which were well
taken by the congregation. Rev. Sals
bury, who had arrived from his trip to
the Northwest in time to be present,
told several good stories, one of which
illustrated the watchfulness of the good
shepherd over his flock and the little
lambs.
