Baccalaureate Services are Held Last Evening Services at First Presbyterian Church Sermon of the Class of 1928 by Rev. Sortor. From Monday's Dally One of the last of the services that mark the close of the school year was held last evening at ine t irsi -w-- . . . a. - 1. graduating class of the Plattsmouth high school. The church was made very attrac tive by a profusion of flowers on the pulpit rnd platform, whose colors added to the charm of the handsome interior of the church. The class of some fifty-nine of the young people, accompanied by their class sponsor, R. F. Patterson, enter ed from the Fellowship room and were given seats at the front of the church to receive the splendid mes sage that had been prepared for them. The prelude was given by Mrs. H. F. Goos, organist of the church and to which the class entered the church auditorium to take their places that had been reserved for them. The invocation was offered by Rev. H. G. McClusky, pastor of the First Presbyterian church who gave the divine blessing on the meeting and on the class of splendid young peo ple that were soon to depart from the school. Miss Sylvia Cole, supervisor of music of the city schools, gave a very beautiful solo number, "Thou Wilt Keep Him in Perfect Peace" by Patton. The scripture reading of the ser vice was given by Rev. H. E. Sortor pastor of the First Methodist church. The joint choirs of the Presby terian and Methodist churches under the direction of Miss Cole presented the anthem, "Unfold Ye Portals." by Gounod, a very beautifully given number. The class sermon y 'Rev. 'Sortor was on "Spiritual Motives as a Basis for Right Living,' Baccalaureate Sermon Summary Text Luke 8:46.

However, we are duty bound not to be satisfied with good, but must choose the best or central power of human life. We feel that it can be ably demonstrated by history that the spiritual qualities or motives back of the individual life are the determining force of his life. You will learn in the near future, if you have not already, that the crowd never places anything in the individual life. Just as in this text in which Jesus by the press and throng of life felt virtue going from Him so each of us in our contacts with society are drawn out. The virtue was drawn out because of the divine motives dominating his life. We challenge you to have a vision of life and its service that will be moti vated by spiritual impulses which will give you power to transform the age in which you live.

The services were closed with the benediction by Rev. H. G.

Pow Wow of the Chamber of Com merce May 31 Meeting at Pnfclic Library Will Be Open to Public and Should Be Well Attended. From Tuesday's Daily The chamber of commerce starts the summer season of open monthly meetings with the first being held on Thursday evening. May 31st at the auditorium of the public library. These meetings will be known as "pow-wows" and will be all Hhat the name implies as the discussion of civic problems will be featured at the sessions and afford all those who have suggestions of any kind that may be for the community welfare to express themselves.. It is the desire of" the officers t)f the chamber of commerce that as many of the members and others in terested in the community welfare avail themselves of the opportunity of attending, and by a thorough in terchange of ideas to get many varied viewpoints on the city and its out look. The chamber of commerce as well as the welfare of the city is not the task of any one man or two or three men. but is the duty and responsi bility of everv resident in the com to-imunity and how vell or how pooriy they discharge this responsibility de pends the welfare of the city and the surrounding territory. Those who fail to give their part in the community work either by active service in the chamber of commerce or individual boosting are withholding their part in the march of progress and helping retard the efforts of their more ener getic brothers who are trying to make the community better industrially and in a business way. The purpose and object of the pub lic pow-wows is to give the fullest op portunity for discussion of the civic problems and to gather ideas that may be of aid in securing helpful moves for the community life and aid in the material advancement of the city in the future. The meeting will be held at 8 o'clock and everyone interested in Plattsmouth, women as well as men. are urged to attend and to all get into the harness and help join in the boosting job rather than leave it to a small group. Everyone residing here has a greater or less interest in the advancement of the city and should do their part in making the city better in every way and one of the first moves in this direction is to become one of the "good Indians" and attend the chamber of commerce pow-wow.

From Wednesday s Dally Last evening the Plattsmouth Ro tary club, one bundled per cent strong motored out to the Eight Mile Grove Lutheran church where they enjoyed one of the always delightful inter-community gatherings and in which they brought the Rotary mes sage of common interest and fellow ship. The meeting was one that will long be remembered by the Rotarians for its wonderful feast and for the splendid friendship and good will that they met in the jovial and gen ial residents of Eight Mile Grove that had come as their guests at the lestive boaid. The fact that John Lahr was able to join the other club members for the first time in many months also gave them a real 100 per cent meeting. The beautiful Eight Mile Grove Lutheran church was selected as the place of meeting and the ladies of the aid society of the church, of which Mrs. Edward Gansemer is the president, had the task of providing the dinner and this was one that will be a cherished memory of the Ro tarians as the delicious repast was one such as only the clever hands of the Cass county ladies can prepare and which omitted nothing that would go to make a perfect dinner. The settings were also most attrac tive with the garden flowers, the pink candles and the beautiful ban quet room to make it a most pleasant memory. The meeting was presided over by Searl S. Davis and as the feast was concluded the affair was placed in the hands of L. D. Hiatt, chairman of the program committee, with a snappy and highly entertaining pro gram to make the evening pass only too rapidly for the members of the party. The Rotary quartet composed of Frank Cloidt. L. D. Hiatt. R. W. Knorr and H. G.

Robertson was also called upon to give two clever and humorous selections in the Swedish dialect that proved a real hit of the evening and "Bill" was mistaken by several as an imported speaker from Minnesota. Frank A. Cloidt was heard in one of his always pleasing tenor solos, "In the Garden of My Heart." The mirarnba offerings of Edgar Wescott weie also one of the delight ful features of the occasion, he of fering a group of these pleasing num bers, the popular selection. "Nola" and as well as special arrangement of two of the Rotary songs which were dedicated to S. S. Davis and K. H. Schulhof. being favorite numbers of these two gentlemen. The group was closed with the snappy "High School Cadets" march. E. H. Wes cott served as the accompanist for the various musical numbers. Rev. H. G. McClusky gave a very fine talk on the doctrine and prac tice of the International Rotary, stressing the fact that this organiza tion has as its prime motive the es tablishment of good will among man kind and the fulfillment of of the golden rule in business and personal lives of the members. It was carry ing the message of fellowship and good will that the Rotary visited wjith their neighbors, and in his very clever manner the genial pastor carried this message to the Eight Mile Grove community. The response on behalf of the guests of the evening was given by the Rev. A. Lenz, the able and effi cient pastor of the Eight Mile Grove Lutheran church, in which he ex I pressed the pleasure of the com munity in having the Rotarians pres 'ent and wished that they might have many more of these pleasant gath erings in the future.
