The religious .cervices commenced
on Tbarsday-evening with a prayer-
tmeefing..at which .aboat fifteen at-
toBdetl.; the meetfng was good, . and
frotn-ttie prayers offered and. -the in
te'restr manifested in the work by those
present.'we formed -the opinion that'
th meeting .would prove' a success. .
7. At. .-8 'O'clock Friday morning a
prayer-meeting was held- at 10 o'clock
rftv.. Whitehead-preached from Luke
X, 21.:" "So. is' he that layeth up tfeap
ure for.-Himself and' is .not sick toward

another season of .prayer. .
' In the "afternoon we had nraver-
meeting at 2 o'clock... Rev. A G..
.White' -preached 'at i o'clock from
Luke 8 IS: "Take heed therefore bow
ye hear."- And the set-vices were'.fol-!o-f-edbya
prayer-meeting.
At O'.o'clockwe engaged in a' prayer-
meeting and at 7:50 Brother James
Query, .oreach'ed. from Luke 14, '18:
" And, they all began with one con
sent to make excuse." And was fol
lowed by the-cestomary prayer-meeting.-
This order of services was J'he"
one-adopted during the continuance
of.onr meetings.in the "leafy grove."
Our'feast.proved a very pleasant one
on Friday, but the interest continued
to.'deepen as the meeting progressed.
. On -.Saturday morning - Brother
George"; .WorJey '"preached upon 'the
jreat eubjeer of the atonement. In
the afternoon' Brother White preached
t from .Romans 8, U and 17: "The
Spirit itself beareth witness with our
spirits that we are the children of
God: And if children then heirs;
heirs of God, and joint heirs with
Christ' The official members of tne
church then met in one of the tents
to hotl .the.. Quarterly, Conference,
while the members conducted the
prayer-meeting themselves.
At the Quarterly Conference .the re-,
ports showed that the 'church was
growing rapidly, and that much good
was-being done Thee- total chnrch

the' counties of Platte and Polk, num
bers' two hundred. Brother John

In tbe evening Brother J. Worley.

man soweth rhathallhe also reap."
After the . prayer-rueotipg following,
three -requested prayers that they
might receive pardon for their sins.
'Sunday -morning opened rather
clondy and threatened Tain, yet a
large" number attended love feast,
during which five children and three
adults wero haptisted by the Presid
ing Elder - Ho then preached from
Romans 2 4: "The goodness of God
leadeth to repentance."
The above letter was printed in
the Journal at the tune dated above
written by Her. L. F. Whitehead
the then pastor, at the time Colum
bus Mission embraced all of Platte
and Polk county, more that fifty
miles square, and it took from three
to four weeks to get over the Cir

back, male his home at Columbus
and lived on what was then called
Nebraska A venae in a very small
house upstairs. Ho rode the circuit
until his health was gone and soften
ing of .the brain came on and he had
to he relieved. As near as can be
lfonnrt bnt, there are
but two of the
prominent loaders of that meeting
left to visit, L. F. Whitehead and
T. H. Saunders, the others, have
passed to the world of spirits.
We should say that this letter was
clipped from tbe Journal, at tbe time

three months The' fruit crop, he
says, is unusually large this year
From his ranch he expects to sell $5000
worth.-' The most of his fruit consists
of Bartlett pears, which are of espe
cially fine quality because they are
grown' in the foot-hills without irri
gation and find ready market in Chi

sold to the beet trade Mr. Sieras
family will join him later on.
Mr. and Mrs. O. O. Hardy and

They are in Columbus to stay thts

Iatei-estiBg Letter frear- nTiei lbs
Firease, Jaly.26. 190
My dear papa:
I haven't had n letter yet in
to my steamer letter, but I exneot one
when I get to Rome. I had oae from
Dora Weaver the other day
so good to. hear from Columbus, ev
If it ian't from 'home. Helena
letter was a pleasant surprise too. i
wish'you oouid all have time to write
oftener and I wish that I might near
from Albert, too. Its dreadfaUy -hot
down here in -Florence. We' have
sweltered here for a week, bat this
afternoon we." leave for -Rome and
they promise us 'that it is oobler
tnere. We seem to be - having - Tur
kish baths all 'the time, bat bath
tabs, they seem to think, 'are a
superfluous .luxury." We are. almost
commencing to feel that 'they are a
very ' neccessary necessity. ' ' It
moon cooier in venio tne ween .we
were there. ' We reached there in the
afternoon aboat 5:30 jest two weeks
ago. I was disappoiated ia Venice. It
hasn't the glamour anymore thai -it
used to have. The canals are narrow;
the gondoliers don't wear bright
sashes except on special occasions, the
baildiags are all old and the 'walls
havn't seen paint for fifty yean. At
night some of the glamour came aaok
though, the lighto on the water are
beautiful and the gondoliers begin to
sing some. The night-of the-annual
fete, the grand canal was brilliant
with boats and lights. They burned
red lights and the floate'for.the. bands
were like sailing flower gardens.
I got into the shopping .fever there,
and bought a number : of things. 1
like "to go .poking around in. little
shops and work the shopkeepers for
lower prices-' On' St. Mark's square
where the pigeons and all .the other
famous and historical things are,, we
found the beat shops and how we, -did
"dicker and jew" with, those shop
keepers. The Academy of arts, there
has Titians last piotare the Pieta and
his assumption, we- almost stood in
worship before those wonderful works
of a human band.
The churches are Interesting nnd
at. niarks's is wonderful, but Sunday
morning we neard a service in a
little Scottish church' and 'it seemed
good to be- there. Out at 'the Lido,
an island n few miles from Venice
is a beauitful beach' and we went
out one afternoon 'for a swim. The
Adriatio is surely ideal for bathink
and I haven't eajoyed'an afte'moon'so
much this summer. The beach was
perfect, bard and rippled, the water
a soft clear blue, not any wave aad o
so easy to swim in. I found I oouki
swim as well or better than 'I ever
had anywhere eke. The Rialto is a
funny old place fall of .funny old shops
and it was hard, to stand there i
imagine Shylock and Bassanio. In
the old Doge's palace we saw the aw
ful dungeons and walked across the

It is a gruesome place. And
Venice itself on cloudy days is grue
some. Most of the people are beg

streteh out t heir-hands when they see
a stranger. It's pitiful. Our hotel
was an old palace and such a mystic
maze, as it wai, halls and fanny stair
ways until you were lost. Jt took a
a day or two to -find a direct route to
our room which- was way np under
the rafters: We were glad of that
though because the ntuxquitoea didn't

here last Wednesday-. night at almost

my imagination run wild and I can
see Tito and Savonarola on the streets
now. We saw Savonarola's old mona
stery, San Marco, his eelf just .as it
used to be and all the other -.cells
around with their strange old frescoes
by Fra Angelico. Some of them are
