Methodist Ministerial Association Holds Meeting The Ministerial Association of the west dlst i let of the Methodist ihurch held Its annual scshiim in tills clly Tuesihtyiind Wednesday. All the meetings weio largely attended and this session Is numbered at- oin of the met successful g.ithei lugs of the kind over held lu the state. The progiain began Tin sday evening at tUHO with a men's baiin'iet in the pirlors of the church.

Trltos discussed "The I'laeo of the Church In Civic Life" at some length '1 hull tollowcd addresses by O. t. Poiuith lui I W. IL.Iackson on "Evan gelism, the old and the New." The morning session closed with u discus sion on the ' Relation of tho Sunday School lto.it d to tho Local School." This discussion was led by A. M. Steele, II. W. Copo and A.G.Formnu. Tho afternoon program began with devotional led by A V- Wilson after which "Tho Problem of tho Country Church" was disciisseij by .1. Calvert, U. F. llutchins and K. II. H. Hill, arter which followed a business session. lu the. evening a popular lecture was given by S, T. Hurtle D I)., of Grand Island on Pallstino This lec ture was illustrated with one hundred slides made from pictures that tho lecturer made while traveling in that country some yeai s ago on horseback. The views were exceptionally lino and tho speaker had a happy way in telling what ho saw and heard lu that ever strange country. Ho slid wed that the great East never changes, that condi tions there today aro practically the. same as thoy wcro in tho tlmo of our Lord. The pictures showing tho rug ged road from Jerusalem to Jorleo gave otic a vivid idea of tho dangeis that threaten tho traveler uveii today as ho goes from one elty down to the other. It Is two thousand feet down In a, distance of twenty miles ami an excellent place for robbers and bri gands to fall upon the unprotected. These robbers still abide among those rocks and a stranger needs an escort if he would make the journey in safety. There were pictures of Jacob's well, tho sleeping Presbyterian minister, and other well known scenes. Also the mounV'Whcre Jesus took his disci ples was shown and hero tho speaker gave an interesting description of this put of Pallstinc. Thoso delightful views and this in structive lecture should be given to a larger audience and we suggest to the Chautauqua association that they make arrangements to have it repeat ed this summer in the Chautauqua tent. The church was tilled to over flowing but there is no reason why this lecture should not be given to three or four thousand people this summer. The ministers attending this asso ciation were a jolly set of men and showed that at work or play thoy were .capable of holding their own. Among them were several expert tennis play ers and "between acts" they kept the court warm. Red Cloud extends a cordial invitation to each and every one to come again. Selfish Interest. .

WHEN THEY WENT BACK HOME Humorist Records Some Surprises That Attended the Occasion of Popular Celebration. During a recent Old Home Week in an up-state village the following "never-wlll-amount-to-any things" were In attendance: John Wilson Clarke, who was al ways too lazy to do tne chores, came up from New York In his big seven passenger car. On account of press ing work he could stay but a few hours. Ex-Gov. Sllby Klrkwood, who was naturally thick-headed and half-baked In his youth, stopped over In his prl vato enr to sco his old homo. Dr. Wlllus G. Dyer, ono of the best known surgeons In tho country, called tho town fool when a boy, dropped In and loft enough money for a town library. Miss Cnrollno Jensen Atwood, too stupid to lenrn In the old red school- houso, now a popular authoress nnd playwright vlsjtcd hor relatives. Charlio Drukc, tho spendthrift, shut up his Wall street olllco long enough to attend. Ono of tho most notlcoahlo features of tho whole colcbrntlon was tho nb senco of tho men npil women who gavo much promise of originality and worth during their youth. Lack of memory lu their old ago ac counts for tho fact that not ono of tho old fogies present ever enld anything hut good of anybody, Including tho successful boys present. Don.
