The BrotherhoodsFirst
Tho address by Bishop Henry W
Warren of Denver in the new Methodist
church last Friday evening filled the
ohurch with an expectant audience Tho
bishops high purpose in his address
which was primarily intended for men
was to bring to the American man an
adequate conception of his importance
and dignity as an American man To
this end he invaded the realms of history
and called upon his rich and wide ex
perience and observation as a travelled
and observant American His was a
brave and grand picture of the greatest
land and people tho world has ever seen
But with the greatness of dower comes
largeness of sorvice and he labored not
in vain to show the men of America
what of right could be expected and de
manded of them
It is the fine purpose of the Brother
hood of St Paul in whose interest and
under whose auspices the bishop ap
peared to from time to time give the
people of McCook an opportunity to
hear just such efforts A commendable
purpose
An enjoyed incident of the meeting
was a splendid vocal effort by Mrs C W
Ikitt
After the meeting was formally closed
an opportunity was accorded to become
a charter member of the brotherhood
The brotherhood begins its career with
a bright prospect and a wide open field
of opportunity for work along the lines
of the organization

The matter was finally compromised The
entire amount is given at 8750 The
doctor agreed it is saidto refund 7000

the full amount the doctor paid her

The following obituary was read by
the pastor at the church service
Rachel Row Berry was born in Ma
con county Illinois March 1st 1853
Was converted
with the
in early life and united
Methodist church in which
she has constantly been one of its bright
est lights Though she is gone that
light still shines to guide weary feet to
the Christ of her love At 15 years of
age with her parents she moved to Vir
ginia Illinois where she was graduated
from the high school in due time after
which she taught two years in neighbor
hood rural districts then taking a posi
tion in the city schools of her home city
where she served with honor to herself
and profit to the school for eleven years
resigning only to accept the principal
ship of the McCook high school in the
fall of 1885 She taught in the high
school of the city until 1901 and that
work is the heritage of almost every
home in this city The influence of her
life is felt in most homes and all have
been manifestly better The school room
is hallowed because of her sweet mem
ory Tne old cnurcn knew oi no noner
or more devoted communicant and this
new temple by whose gifts and prayers
she helped to erect is sanctified today
by her remains and tho memory of her
godly and busy life Dead yet speaking
of victory on earth and triumph in
heaven
Hurrying home from her visit with
relatives in Arkansas Illinois and Min
nesota arriving here on the 18th of Jan
uary going to the home of her sister Mrs
L W McConnell she was immediately
confined to her bed with rheumatic fever
gradually growing worse until her death
Friday morning March 24th 1905 at
730 oclock She has joined the saints
of God and methinks wears a crown lit
erally jeweled with stars tokens of her
useful life

W McConnell of McCook Nebraska
Mrs D H Plummer of Springfield Illi
nois Mrs Lemuel Heffelfinger of Red
