As has been the custom of the membership of the Christian church of this city on New Year's day, they met at the hr.il of the Modern Wood men of America with well filled baskets-yesterday, in spite of the H. C. of L. and proceeded 'to, have one of the most social and enjoyable times ever participated in before, eating their dinner in common together af ter which they looked after the transaction of business matters, lis tened to reports and elected ollicers for the coming year. The dinner was called just before noon, but was not concluded until nearlv throe o'clock when the last of the hungry multitude had finished partaking of this sumptuous noon day repast. Alter the ioyai oi k- ers had finished gathering up the fragments and had gotten things straightened up once more, all re paired to the assembly room, where with P. II. Ilihn as clerk and Oliver C. Hudson chairman of the official board, the meeting was called to or der to hear the reports of the var ious auxiliaries of the church.

The Loyal Workers society next made their report through their sec retary. Mrs. W. 11. Piekard. Prom this report it waa gleaned that after having don? their year's work, and paying a goodly sum into the coffers of the church proper, they now have left on hand a larger balance than existed a year ago. Her report of the work accomplished was most gratifying to th? v. emeers. Following this came the reports of the various officers of the church proper, the first being that of the clerk of the board, who also read the report of the treasurer, dealing with the financial problems, which usually prove to be the one big bug bear in church circles. This report. showed financial conditions with the church about the ratue as a year ago. with the exception in the amount due the Building and Loan associa tion on the parsonage, that amount lipimr nnnroximatrlv the only l'.c , . . . , r i - gain in finances.

After examination and giving what information he could regarding the matter no charge was lodged against him.

Vrsterdsiv -afternoon at 2:30 a number of friends and old acquaint-1 ances gathered at the Presbyterian Church. in attendance at the funeral services of the late Clement Chapman the youngest son of Mrs. Agnes Chap man of Lincoln. The remains, ac companied by the bereaved mother brother Joe. sister Mrs. Helen Koontz and Mr. Walter Stempel, arrived in this city on the noon train. The flower laden casket was conveyed to the Presbyterian church, where the remains laid in state until the fun eral hour and during the hour of 1:30 and2:00 friends were permitted to take a farewell view of their de parted friend. The funeral services were held at 2:30. A choir, com posd of Miss Mathilde Vallerv Mrs. G. L. Farley; Messrs. Lynn. .Minor and G. L. Farley sang favorite hymns, while Mrs. Henry -F. Goos presided at the organ. Rev. II. G McClusky spoke words of comfort to the sorrowing ones and said that we made various plans for our future welfare, but sometimes God would have other and better plans and would interfere with our plans and perhaps take pome of our loved ones to his home. We are then prone to feel discouraged but God knows. what are the best plans, and what he does for the best. The remains were then conveyed to Oak. Hill cemetery, where Clement was laid to rest.
