THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH BAN - QUETLASTEVE$ 1WU tiUNDREU 01' MEMBERS GOT AN EXCELLENT TIME MUSIC AND ADDRESSES GIVEN Matters of Church Policy Consider ed and Plans Laid for Next Year's Program of Labor Ffr.:n Saturday's Dally. Last evening at the Modern Wood man hall was held a banquet for the members of the Christian church, covers being laid for ninety, and the tables were more than twice filled. The tables had been loaded with good things to eat and the ladies deftly served the banquetters, while the cooks who prepared the spread were worthy of commendation for their no small part in the success of the affair. The song by tie chorus which pre ceded the banquet was enjoyed by all those present and as the members were being seated at the tables a number of young men contributed to the further enjoyment of the assem bly by a special number. Standing, with bowed heads, the banquetters istened to the invocation pronounc ed by the Rev. L. W. Scott, pastor of the church. Then followed the banquet, which was most thorough ly enjoyed by all. O. C. Hudson had been selected as the toastmaster and made an excel lent one for the place. His intro duction of the speakers and reparte were well enjoyed by those present. The first speaker was M. S. Briggs, whose topic was "Folks," and who in his efforts to explain to his listeners his impressions of folks, put I the rowd in. a merry mood, although af- er the delightful feast that had just been served, that was not a hard hing to do. At the conclusion of Mr. Briggs' talk the members were n condition to receive the other ad- resses which were to follow. W. R. Bryan Was next on the pro ram of speech-making, the subject f his discourse being, "Why Are We Here?" In the five minutes of time allowed each speaker Mr. Bryan held the audieuce breathless by his elo quent address which covered not lone the present assembling. but what is expected of members of the church and societv. He was cut off n his prime by the toastmaster, as he was endeavoring to exceed his ime limitation. The C. W. B. M. Mrs. L. W. Scott was next to speak nd she made a very eloquent ap peal, especially to the women of the church, relative to the Christian Woman's Board of Missions. Explain ing the work, she told of the neces sity of the women in the church en listing their aid and assistance if the satisfactory resultsire to be attain ed. This is one of the most active of the various departments of church activity and Mrs. Scott made an elo- uent plea for workers, when the oastmaster rapped telling her that er time, too, had been consumed. Future Church of Plattsmouth The next speaker to follow was Luther F. Pickett, who spqke on the toast, "Laying the Foundation for the Future Church of Plattsmouth." On this subject Mr. Pickett had col lected a lot of statistics, and as a result he made a most enthusiastic address dealing with present condi tions and those which are sure to follow. By logical deduction, he showed what was needful and requir ed for the success of this church and challenged the attention of all to the fact that a lot of work is required if there is to be successfully built the church of the future. The Church's Mission. Thomas Wiles, who was the next speaker to follow Mr. Pickett, said he probably would speak from a sub ject of his own' rather than the one which had been alloted him, declar ing his thoughts would deal with the church and its attitude to mission work, which like numerous other ac tivities was needing more attention than it is just now receiving. Hand ling the subject in enthusiastic lan guage he had to consume some little time after the. chairman had rapped before he could find a suitable place to cut short his remarks-along this line. Our Tasks for Today C. E. Whitaker then spoke on the things which confront the church of today, and the tasks which are to be accomplished. -What do we do next was made clear In his address and among other things he saw in the fu ture a new church building as a re- ft .7 ft . 2 is ft ft i i 1 .s ' ?

Lt. Leopold Makes Address Dr. H. C. Leopold, in a voice that could be distinctly heard all over the house, took'up in measure some of the questions which have been puzzlers to the church of the pres ent, and in a lucid manner told how these circumstances couftl be contro verted. His address was received with enthusiasm by the listeners. Men and Millions Movement. Rev. L. W. Scott was the last speaker on the program, and he made an eloquent address. In his instance, all time limits were remov ed and he was therefore not compel led to stop at the expiration of five minutes. He spoke on the "Men and Millions" movement, which is the crystalization of the broader view of the work of the church, as it touches the various departments. As Rev. Scott's heart is wrapped up in this matter, lie was well prepared to ex plain the mission of the church un der this new and broad vision that has come into existence during the past few years. He spoke eloquently and his remarks made a lasting im pression. WILL HAVE A CHANGE. From Thursday's raily A number of the men of the Presbyterian Church are hustling around this week making a special effort to get a large number of the men of the church and congrega tion to attend the morning service at the church on next Sunday morn ing. The object of all this hust ling is that the men of the church would like to see mere men at the services next Sunday morning, than women. As a usual thing and not only at this church, but. in other churches as well, there are always more women, than men. Some of the men of this church have decided to change this routine and for once have more men. Any of this church and congregation who has not been invited to come to this service, is cordially invited to Join the ranks and help boost the number in at tendance. HEARING IN DISTRICT COURT.
