WILL GIVE TALK
. ON JAPAN AND LIFE
OF ITS PEOPLE
Mrs. Oscar Lowe of Lincoln, Former
ly Hiss Rachel Stander of
Louisville, Will Speak. -
On next Sunday evening at the
Methodist church the Plattsmouth
people will' have the opportunity of
hearing first hand of the life and
habits of the people of Japan and the
work of the Christian missionaries
among ; the residents of; the : island
empire.
Mrs. Oscar Lowe of Lincoln, form
erly Miss Rachel Stander of Louis
ville, who spent - two years in the
missionary work in that' -country.
1 will be here and tell of her. experi
ences and observations of the Japa
nese and in her residence there as a
missionary ., and teacher came in
touch with the work of the "Chris
tian teachers, and the people of the
country.
.To add interest to the lecture there
will be slides shown of the scenes
in the, cherry-blossom land and what
the Christian churches are accomp
lishing. in the way of , education and
training among the residents of the
country. -. . ? . . .
This will Tie ona of the best things
of its kind ever-offered here and one
that will be interesting to the gen
eral public is well,as those who have
made a study of the missionary and
educational work in the far east.
'obey' and 'with all my worldly good
I thee endow.' . We obtained revision
and enrichment of the book of com
mon prayer, the intention of this ac
tion being to remove obsolete ex-
prssions that are not commonly un
derstood by the common man. It was
ahvays meant, just as the marriage
ceremony says. that one should love,
honor and obey according to God's
holy ordinance.' That does not at all
mean that the wife must submit to
all the whims of a husband, in the
little things of life. I believe in per
feet equality of the man and wife in
property, personal opinion and the
like.
"The convention reaffirmed its
stand on the divorce evil, one man
for one woman until death do them
part. This may work a hardship on
innocent persons sometimes, but we
must stand for the ideals of the
home." said the bishop.
The Rev. John Albert Williams.
rector of the Church of St. Philip
the Deacon, was nominated by Bish
op Shayler to be elected bishop of
Haiti. "The Rev Mr. Williams had
many friends in the convention, and
he is a capable man, but the vote
finally went to a bishop of the white
race, since the church in Haiti has
for years been in charge of a white
bishop," explained ' Bishop Shayler.
Bishop Shayler introduced into the
house of deputies a prayer for ad
justment of the railway men's strike.

Numerous inquiries have been re
ceived in the last few weeks from
nearby towns asking as ty the ins
pects for a horseshoe tournament or
matches with a team from this nty,
and as this game seems to be one of
the popular sports of the day. brings
up the question, Why not have a
horse shoe pitchers' team?
With the growing revival of this
old sport there certainly should be
some steps taken to try out the old
veterans of the game as well as the
younger residents of the city that
have had experience with the sport.
It. seems to be fascinating where it
has been in vogue and with our ten
nis and pinochle tournaments there
seems no reason why the sport of ye
old time horseshoe pitching should
not be revived. Such' veterans as Les
lie Niel. F. J. Warren, c. O. York are
here and should' form the basis of a
team that could assist In the promo
