More than $2,250,000 has been spent on improving the Lincoln highway and greater sums have been borrowed on bonds for additional work since the movement for the transcontinental roadway was started two years ago, according to a resume of the progress issued by Austin F. Bement, secretary of the association. Bement said that, contrary to the history of most national propagandas, the Lincoln highway movement gained during its second year, Just closing.

Still, kinder weak on the social, I guess. Yes, I'm unused to the ways o' Society, Act kinder clumsy and awkward, pose, Look sorter awestruck and full of anxiety, Standin' around in my hand-me-down clo'es. Some o' my people are always a-diggin' me, Say I ain't fit to mingle around, Say I don't know when the Kings are a stringin' me, Don't know a snub from a hole in the ground. Waal, that's the truth, and I'm free to confessin' I'm strange to the ways o' the monarchs just yet, Simple and easy, and not used to guessin', I'm sorter at sea when 1 KO In their set.

HE Australian leader, Elinor Stafford Millar, who has been speaking to the women and girls of -Lincoln during.

the past week under the auspices of the Young Women's Christian assoclation, addressed two large audiences yesterday morning and afternoon and a large number at the union mission last Miss Millar's talk at the First Baptist church at the morning service was on the subject, "Thought Life." Paul's well known exhortation to the Philippians, the guide for their thought life, emphasized by the speaker's terse phraseology, illustrated from the stores of her own broad experience, took on new and vital meaning. The special Young Women's Christian association service was at o'clock in the afternoon, when Miss Millar addressed a mass meeting of men and women at the First Congregational church. Every available bit of space in the auditorium Sunday school rooms was used and many were unable to find seats. The speaker's subject was not a new or particularly original one, "How to Read Your English Bible," but a sympathetic understanding of the wealth, the comfort, the joy that may come through intimate acquaintance with the "profoundest book in the world" bore in upon the minds and hearts of the many who heard. Her appeal for earnest Bible study rested on four points: The means of intellectual development, promotion of Christian character, safeguarding against error, and the action on the individual.

The musical numbers added to the beauty of the service. Mra. Carrie B. Raymond was at the organ. Mrs.

August Molzer and Miss Lillian Eiche, violin and 'cello. Mrs. Walter Lyndon Pope Miss Millar's last message for Lincoln people was given at 8 o'clock in the evening at the Union mission. The question asked of her hearers WAS Pilate's, "What then shall I do unto Jesus, who is called Christ?" a and the answer was found in Christ's words in the scriptures. Mrs.

Simmons sang at the beginning of the service. About seventy-five church and sixty others attended the meeting. Among those present were Mayor and Mrs. C. W.

Bryan Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Allen.

Ten persona held up their hands for prayer and two went forward and shook hands with Miss Millar. PEOPLE YOU KNOW. Charles Hadsell died suddenly at his home at Sinton, Friday morning. He was one of the early settlers of Nebraska. In 1871 he homesteaded in Saunders county, where he lived until 1900, when he, moved to University Place.

In the fall of 1909 he moved to Sinton, but came back to University Place to spend a few months summer. Mr. HadWAR Luzerne county, rach, September 5, 1843, -and in 1862 enlisted in the army of the Potomac and served until the end of the war. In 1874 he was married to Miss Carrie O'Kane. Eight children were born, of whom five sons survive.

The funeral services were held at Sinton, early Sunday morning, after which the remains were taken direct to the train and are being taken to Weston, for burial. The body may pass through Lincoln over the Union Pacific at 8:50 a. m. Tuesday. Mr.

Hadsell was a member of the Methodist church and a supporter of Nebraska Wesleyan university. reunion of the residents of Lin- coln from Richardson and Pawnee counties was held at the Y. M. C. A.

About three hundred people were present. George L. Sheldon, former governor of Nebraska, and now a plantation owner at Wayside, arrived in Lincoln Sunday and will remain over Thanksgiving day with friends. Each time he returns to Lincoln his friends remark that he looks more and more like the southern plantation owner of old times. He is now as brown as A nut, and that, added to his broad hat and his broad stride, is more than enough to attract attention.

While admitting that he still takes a lot of interest in politics, Mr. Sheldon declined last evening to comment on any 0 fthe things that are uppermost in the minds of Nebraska statesmen. Not even the Nebraska attempt to draw Justice Hughes into the presidential race was sufficient to elicit a word from the ex-governor. Earl Grady, one-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.

August Grady of Auburn, died in Lincoln Sunday. The body 1s being held at the Castle, Roper Matthewa parlors pending funeral arrangements. The body of David Peterson, who died Friday, was taken to Fremont Saturday morning. The funeral was held Sunday. The body of Clell D.

Traly" Is Going Ont. (Detroit News.) In those good old days when the shopkeeper had to be polite or have his head chopped off by a finicky duke, the use of terms of politeness, so-called, were A necessity. They dubbed the dukes and other sprigs of "most honored sir" or "most nobility, lady," although the recipients were, as a rule, anything but honorable or gracious, and then the first thing they knew were dubbing one another "dear and "dear they, madame," and ending their scrawls with "yours truly" and similar phrases. This sort of thing in time became an institution and It has lasted up to the present day. It is only very recently that the foundation began to crumble, and some of the largest firms in the country suddenly discovered that "yours truly" and "dear sir'.

did not mean anything and took a lot of good time that a stenographer could use to better advantage. Therefore they have discontinued the habit. Among the great Arms that have adopted this reform is the R. H. Macy company, New York's big department store.

For fear that some of the correspondents may not understand this departure at first, they have printed on the bottom of their letters the following: "We have never heard a good reason for the use of 'dear 'dear 'yours truly' and other similar phrases in business correspondence. For the sake of accuracy, brevity and economy we have discontinued their use." Fall Pay. "Does your employer give you any kind of A stipend for your week's work?" 'Not much he don't.

The Nebraska Presbyterian Notes. "The conversion of the world is the supreme problem of Christianity! It is not the defense of truth, for in the end truth may be depended upon to take care of itself, and it never fail. Nor does the material prosperity of the church need to be the chief concern. That which has value will always bring a price. The real issue is the salvation of mankind, transformation of the race into nature the and graces of Christ.

is being very slowly accomplished. Vast living and dying not God. On populations are filing who, every side are evidences of the ravages of sin, and the fruits of sin constantly produce sorrow and shame. In spite of education and science, disease and poverty and pain still curse the land. The optimist may shut his eyes to this, but whenever he opens them he receives a shock.

However is bettering, he must confess the firmly one may believe that the world tardiness of the process, and deplore the unsaved." fact that DE uncounted LAND millions LEETE. are Such a condition as Leete describes ought not cause discouragement but to cause every Christian to buckle on the armor more tightly and with a faith that will not shrink, resolve to change that condition. It is God's plan that we should do that very thing. The superintendent will be in Niobrara presbytery for the next few weeks, engaged in special meetings. Rev.

N. P. Patterson of Beatrice has been helping Rev. Mr. Seely of Humboldt the past week in special meetings.

The tabernacle meetings at Auburn have been going on with unabated interest. To the first invitation given for public profession eighty-nine responded. Calls are coming from' many churches for help in evangelistic meetings or personal evangelism. Please report to the superintendent any available and accredited men for this work. Rev.

Mr. Snowdon of Broadwater and Lisco has resigned his charge to take work elsewhere. Rev. W. S.

Reaugh has resigned his work at Minatare, to take up work again in presbypossibly, tery. There are three churches in Minataire but at present there is no preaching in that town. John E. Farmer of Madison has accepted the office of pastor at large of Box Butte presbytery and has tapestop his McDougall work with of zest. Bridgeport is encouraged in his work.

Two weeks ago he had the langest congregation and most encouraging service, possibly, in the history of his church. Dr. Howard Campbell and Mrs. Campbell of Chiengmai, Siam, were with Rev. J.

P. Anderson at the Second church of Lincoln last Sunday. Dr. Campbell is the foreign pastor a supported by the Second church. Such services as were rendered by Doctor and Mrs.

Campbell last Sunday in church and Sunday school are to be coveted. The Chiengmai church which ran parallel with the Second church for a number of years, has far outstripped it in the race for members. It now has 2,000 communicants. Congregationalism. It may take some time to adjust ourselves to the reorganization of the home missionary societies, but when it is all done it is quite possible that the gain will be greater than the loss.

We have long felt the mission Sunday school work could well be taken care of by the home missionary society and thus leave the Congregational publishing society to care for the publishing activities of the denomination and that the American missionary association could well be transferred to the Congregational educational society if there be no legal objections in the way, and the white churches under the care of association turned over to the home missionary society, thus leaving the A. M. A. to look after the purely church missionary work among the colored races in our midst. We would go father than the national council has gone and would list all negro churches as "colored" or "negro" in the year book.

This question came up at the national council held in Worcester, several years ago. It was only the eloquent pleading of some negro delegates who thought that such action at that time would be interpreted 8.8 "class legislation, that deferred action. Such interpretation could hardly be urged today. The year book should give correct information along these lines. German churches are designated Swedish churches Indian churches "Indian" and so with the Chinese and Japanese churches.

Negro churches should be designated "negro" and then the year book would not lead any one astray and some would be spared unecessary embarrassment. Whether the church building society should be placed in the church extension group with the home missionary and publishing societies under one general secretary is a debatable question but we are confident that in the end the right conclusion will be reached and that proposed readjustment will be should be in our then missionary work. -M. A. BULLOCK.

Congregational Notes. The Farnam church has called for a period of three months, Rev. G. M. Griffiths, with a view to the permapastorate after fuller acquaintance.

Mr. Griffiths comes to Farnam from Clearwater, Minn. A successful union evangelistic campaign at York, under the lead of Mr. Lowry and his helpers, closed. about a week ago.

There were 736, professed conversions, besides a large number of reconsecrations. As a result of personal effort several have since made a decision who did not go forward during une meetings. A delightful reception was given Mr. and Mrs. W.

Wallace and famat the Lincoln Vine church last Friday evening, in view of the fact that the family leave soon to spend the winter in California. A brief program, expressing among other things, appreciation of the helpful cooperation of the family in all lines of church work, was followed by light refreshments and a pleasant social hour in the church parlors. The Williams meetings which closed at Weeping Water last Monday evening, November 15, concluded a remarkably vigorous campaign extendover four weeks. A revised list leaving out all reconsecrations by former church members, showed about. eighty professed conversions.

Williams held a series of meetings at Weeping Water about ten years ago, and the results of the campaign just closed have fully justified the wisdom of the committee of the church in inviting him to come a second time to help in the same community. The First church Lincoln, Rev. R. A. Waite pastor, held its annual meeting "November The social rooms of the church were made attractive with decorations, and about 250 sat down to the annual dinner prepared by the ladies.

Reports showed a successful year of church work along all lines. Nearly $12,000 has been contributed for all purposes, of which about $8,000 were used for running expenses, $1,300 for benevolences, and $850 for constructing a "rest room" in the church. The year closes with all expenses paia in full and a substantial balance in the treasury. In addition to the usual business reports and the election of officers for the new year, plans for aggressive work were outlined and discussed. rder the enthusiastic lead of the pastor the church looks forward to a year of enlarged activities, wider influence, and increased results for 1916.

The golden jubilee of the Avoca church, which was celebrated November 14 and 15, was an occasion of unusual interest for the church and community. Sunday was a full day for the pastor and wife, Rev. and Mrs. A. E.

Bashford, who were present and assisted by speaking or singing, or both, at all the services of the day, including Sunday school at 10 a. morning services at 11, children's meeting at 2:30, women's meeting at 3:30, Christian endeavor meeting at 6:45, and evening service at 7:30. Full audiences were present at all services. Rev. and Mrs.

J. M. Kokjer of Blair, a former pastor and wife, were present and Mr. Kokjer assisted in the morning and evening services. The pastor led an interesting children's meeting in the afternoon, where his ability to use the crayon added vividness to the well chosen points of his talk to the children.

large audience of women WAS addressed by Mrs. Hanford of Lincoln at 3:30. Excellent music was furnished by the choir for all of the services. The attractive appearance of the freshly decorated walls was appreciated more because they represented the skilful handiwork of the pastor. The anniversary dates, 1865-1915, were joined the word "jubilee" on the front by a golden chain of fifty links.

Monday afternoon was given to historical reminiscences. A banquet at which 120 guests sat down together, was served Monday evening, followed by toasts, and the evening closed with a historical paper by Mrs. Oliver Harmon, illustrated with lantern slides prepared by Mr. Bashford. Special evangelistic meetings continued each evening last "etek, which will be held this week also, assisted by Rev.

(Henry Dwight Sedgwick in Yale Review.) The Italians are a sentimental people; they entertain a conception of neutrality quite different from our own. To them neutrality is not, a8 we assume it to be, a thing to be proud of. the Latin mind neutrality is unworthy, except when the matters in dispute are so shrouded in darkness that It is impossible to say which combatant is right and which wrong. They feel like Sir Perceval, who, when he came upon a lion and a dragon fighting, did not stand aside but took the part of the lion, because "he was the gentiler beaste of the two." For them civilization, ethics, are slow accretions piled up by repeated vicprogress, tories of right over wrong, of the greater right over the lesser right, of the lesser wrong over the greater Their keen eyes seldom find wrong. the balance of righteousness evenly hung; and they hold it of the utmost importance that the side on which right preponderates, even by the fraction of a scruple, should prevall.

They hold that it is an honest man's duty to throw his weight on that side. Perhaps this is due to the influence of the greatest of Italians.
