CIIUISTIAX CO.VE.TIO.,

NEBRASKA AND WESTERN IOWA.
To the Pattoft and Brethren of the
Churches of JVtbraska and Wt&lern
Iowa:
Au earnest desire has been expres
sed, and two etlesiastical bodies have
requested tLiu the Pastors and breth
ren of the different Eangeiical
Ch jrcbes iu Nebraska an Wesieru
Iowa meet together for ihe purpose of
united prayer to (iod, and for a free
interchange of opinions and experience
in regard to the various questions of
practical Christian effort.
It is hoped by this means to awaken
a deeper interest among the laity of
our churches; to secure more entire
consecration to the Master's service;
to gain light from the experience of
tho?e who have wrought successfully in
nis vinyard; and to develop plans for
aggressive effort adapted to each
church and its individual members.
The examination of any city or coun
ty of our States will reveal the fact
that many of the people do not hear
the gospel, while experience shows
that they often hear the "good news"
gladly when it is carried to tbetn by
those who love the Saviour.
The varoius methods of Christian ef
fort in systematic visitation, neighbor
hood prayer meetings, tract and bible
distribution, open air and lay preach
ing, and all other means that may be
used to develop the activity of the
church and cirry the gospel to those
who have it not. are of such importance
that united prayer and counsel seem
most desirable.
Similar conventions hive been held
both east and west and with most hap
py results.
We, therefore, invite each of the
churches in Nebraska and Western
Iowa to send as delegstes, the Pastor
and two Lariueo, to meet in conveo
tion at Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday, 16ih,
17th and 18th of June, commencing at
8 p. m. Tuesday.
K. A. Burnell, of Milwaukee, and
F. G. Ensign,' of St. Louis, will be
present with others who have had large
experience in laboring in the vineyard
of our Divine Master.
Brethren, let u come together with
earnest hearts to pray for and confer

mon Lord.
Delegates desiring homes at the
convention are requested to forward
their names as early as the 10th of
June to Rev. G. G. Rice, Council
BIjffs, Iowa; and on their arrival re
port themselves at the rooms of the
Young Men's Christian Association,
on Pearl Street, near the Pacific
House.
Arrangements will be made with
the railroad and stage companies for
the transportation of delegates at re

OIKLS,
Composition by a Small Boy.
I don't like girls. Girls is different
from what boys is Girls don't play
marbles and girls don't play hookey.
I played hookey once and got whipped
for it. Girls somtimes gets whipped,
but not to much as boys; their clothes
aim so well suited for it, that is the
reason I suppose. I never see no girls
play base ball, but they do in Boston.
There is pletty of girls in the city of
Boston, and big organs. Last year
when I was young the teacher made
me sit with the girls because I was
naughty. I cryed. Big boys likes
girls better than little boy. I went
on'areTgft'HrTtltr one7ighP'w1thmy
'ster Nancy and Tom Sykes. We
were going to New Hartford, and
when we got up by Pegg's tavern,
Tom asked me to took in the bottom of
the sleigh for his whip; while I was
IookiDg he fired off a torpedo. I asked
him if he had any more torpedos ad
he said no; but he fired off another
when I wasn't looking. Girls don't
Jibe to have men kiss them. They al
ways say "don't." If they wasn't
fools they wo'd turn their bead th
other way but they never do that. I
saw Tom kiss Nancy once and I went
and told my mother. Then my moth
er put me to bed. When a girl lakes
out her handkerchief in the street to
wipe her nose,, the young men who
earn their living by standing io front
of the Pine block always wipe their
noses if they see her. Girls get mar
ried sometimes but not always. Those
who don't get married don't want to.
When they get married they have wed-

2. Do not tell the edkor to send you
he paper without pay'ng. This thing
;t applyirg ihe credit system to the
newspaper business may be likened to a
farmer selling out his crap a bushel to
a man. The sum each would owe
would seem of little account, but the
aggregate might make or break the
farmer. Cash in advance is the ticket.
3. If you have a father, mother.
brother or sister, or a friend at a dis
tance, and are able lo do so, subscribe,
pay for, aud send them a copy.
4 Do not expect too much from the
editor when he is compelled to be his
own compositor and proof reader.
5. Do not expect the editor to make
honorable mention of your business
every few weeks for nothing

COLrAX'S$PECtl
The following are the remarks of
Mr. Colfax in response to the party of
serenaders on (he erening after the
nomination?:
Mr Friemds: I thank you with
all the emotions of a grateful heart for
this flattering manefestation of your
confidence and regard. I congratulate
you on the auspicious opening cf the
eventful campaign upon which we are
entering. In the Chicago Convention,
representing the entire area of the
republic, every State, every territory,
every district and every delegate from
ocean to ocean declared that their first
and only choice for President was
Ulysses S. Grant. Great applause.
irave and unassuming, reticent, and
yet, when necessary, firm as the eter
nal hills, ajp!aue with every
thought, and hope, aud aspiration for
his country; with modesty only equal
ed by his merits, it is not extravagant
for me to say that he is to day, the man
of all other men in the land, first in
war, first in peace, and first in the
hearts of his countrymen. Great
applause. His name is the very sy
nonym of victory, and he will lead the
Union hosts to triumph at the polls, as
he led the Union armies to triumph in
the field.
But greater even than the conqueror
of Visksburg and the destroyer of the
.J rebellion Js theglorioua inspiration of
our noble principles enunciated by th"e j
sublime truths of the Declaration of
Independence. Our banner bears an
inscription more magnetic than the
names of its stand a rd bearers, whicn
tho whole world can see as it floats to
the breeze "Liberty and loyalty, jus-
tice and public safety."
Defying all prejudices, we are for
uplifting the lowly and protecting the
oppressed. Applause History re
cords, to the immortal honor of our
ormoizalion. that it saved a nation rl
emancipated a race. We struck the
fetter from the limbs of the slave, and
lifted millions into the glorious sunlight
of liberty. We placed the emancipa
ted slave on his feet, a man, and put
nto his right band the ballot to protect
his manhood and his rights. We
staked our political existence on the
reconstruction of the revolted States,
on the sure and eternal corner-stone
of loyalty, and we shall triumph, I
know there is no holiday contest before
principles that humanity will prove, and
that I believe that God will bless, we
shall go through the contest conquering
and to conquer, and on the 4th day of
March next, the people's champion
will be borne by the people's vote to
yonder White House, that, I regret to
say, is now dishonored by its nnworthy
occupant. Then, with peace and con
fidence we may expect our beloved
country to enter upon a career of pros
perity which shall eclipse thi most bril
liant annals ot toe past. 1 bid ycu
God speed in this work, and now,
good night."
J3S?A plain spoken Western
preacher delivered the following from
his desk. ' I would announce to the
caagregation that probably by mistake,
there was left at this meeting bouse
this morning, a small cotton umbrella,
much damaged by time and weer, and
exceedingly pale in color, in place of
which wis taken a silk umbrella, and
of great beauty. Blunders of this
kind, brethren and sisters, are getting
a little too common."
iF"There were two soldier once in
Grant's army lying beneath their blan
kets looking up at the stars ia a Vir
ginian sky, says Jack:
"What made you go into the army,
Tom?"
" Well " replied Tom. "1 bad no
a
wife and I love war. What made you
go to the war, Jack?"
"Well," be replied "1 bad a wife
and I loved peace, so I went to the
war."

.1 Composition.
A boil is generally very small at first
and a fellow hardly notices it, but in a
few days it gets the biggest of the two,
and the chap as has it is of very little
account compared with his boil, which
then 'has-him." Boils appear myste
riously on various portions of the hu
man body, coming when and where
'they darned please," and often in very
inconvenient places. Some times a
solitary boil is the sum total of tha
affliction but frequently there is a rub
ishin' lot of 'em to help the first one.
If a boil comes any where on a person
he always wishes it had came anywhere
else, although it would puzzle him to
say just where.
If a chap has a boil he generally
gets a good deal of sympathy from
others in a horn." Whoever asks
him what ails him laugh at him for his
pains to answer, while many unfeeling
persons make game of him, or of hia
misfortune or boil. It is very wicked
to make sport of persons with boils,
they cannot help it and often feel very
badly about it Physicians don't give
boilpatients much satisfaction as a gen
eral thing although young physicians
who are just beginning to practice are
fond of trying their lancets on them.
Bsils are said to be "heathly," and
jagrng fronTTh "vayibey takeiiotf
and bang on, and ache, and burn, and
grow, and raise Cain generally, there
is no doubt that they art healthyand
have good constitutions. They are
generally very lively and playful at
night, and it is very funny; to see a
chap with a good large one, prospect
ing around in his couch for a place
where bis boil will fit in "without
hurling." Boils tends to "purify the
blood," strengthen the system, calm
the .nerves, restrain the profanity,'
tranquilize the spirits, impror th .
temper, and beautify the appearance.
Thy are good things for rourried men
who spend their evenings away from
home, as they give them fin opportuni
ty to rest their night keys and get ac
quainted with their familes.
It is said that boils save the patient
"a fit of sickness." but if sickness is not
the best to have. It must be an all fired
mean thing. It is also said ibat a per
son is better after he has bad ihem,
and there is no doubt that one feels
much.' TeuTr after TiavTog " goTriJ " of"

cultivation than any other person.
