preciation for the sacrifices made in
order that the world might be made
free, and the realization of the grace
of God by the members of the church
throughout the nation. The bishop
urged a more active and vital pro
gram in the conduct of the affairs of
the church, a getting away from the
smugness that has prevailed thru
out the many churches and a fuller
realization of the need for active and
real service in presenting the teach
ings of the church to the world.
By real service to the church, the
Christian would be able to prepare
himself for the overcoming of the
obstacles that may be found in the
way of spiritual righteousness.
The bishop also outlined the pro
gram that had been prepared for the

it was found later at the residence
of George Gobelman. where young
Verhule had taken it, and requested
permission to leave it for a short

knowledge of the ownership of the
weapon, but supposed It belonged to
Ernest, the permission was granted.
and when the truth was discovered

LOUISVILLE YESTERDAY
From Monday's Daily.
Yesterday afternoon at the base
ball park the Red Sox tangled with
the Louisville team in an exhibition
of the national pastime and. as a re
sult the local team won by a score ;
of 8 to 1. The main feature oi tlie
game was the throwing of Mason,
who demonstrated that he is not
only a high class left fielder, but
also somewhat of a ball tosser and
his shoots proved a puzzle for the
visitors as they were unable to solve
his delivery and with the gilt edge
support given by his teammates Bill
came out the victor in the game.
The Louisville team was short the
services of Fritz Huff, their clever
pitcher and Koop was forced to take
the throwing end of the game and
gave a very good exhibition of the
fine art of putting them over, but
was touched up by the Sox batters
at critical stages allowing runs to
be scored.
These two teams will appear here
on next Sunday to play the deciding
game of the series, as it now stands
fifty-fifty. Louisville having secured
the first game and the one yesterday
going to Plattsmouth.
The attendance yesterday was very
poor owing to the fact that many of
the fans thought that weather con
ditions would call off the game, w hile
others Journeyed up to see the Oma
ha championship opened -up by tho
Murphys and the Armours.

plan is to divide it into tharta of

was done a few years ago o:i the
John Larsh farm has only served to
increase the faith oi" a large number
