The subject of the morning sermon will be, "Because of the present European conflict, is it true that Christianity is a failure?" In the evening, "Six important questions." Young peoples meeting at 6 p.m., instead of 6:15.

from Some last of the thoughts and quotations Sunday morning's Pastor Bennett, are as follows: From the wording of the subject, Human Immortality- Natural or Conditional, which? it will allowed there are two schools of theology. Grant this fact, the Bible is either 'in favor of one or the other; they are diverse, and the Bible does not contradict itself. Consider this subject by Common Sense, Sciences and the Bible. A doctrine on these will be a Bible doctrine. The first teaches, if man is at all immortal, he cannot die, if the righteous are naturally are the wicked; if immo: tality is put on at conversion, it must needs be put off at backsliding, which would at once destroy the sense of the term.

No man has ever died and lived through it.

Surprise Party to Pastor The Methodist parlors and vestry were, the scene of a large gathering Monday evening when nearly 200 people of parish met there and en-! joyed a most pleasant the principal object of the affair being a surprise arranged in honor of the 45th birthday anniversary of the pastor, W. T. Best.

The arrangements had been so cleverly made that even an inkling of the affair reached the ears of the guest of honor-and that his surprise was genuine, was very evident by the expression on his face when he first entered the church par. lors and beheld the familiar faces of his parishioners. The secret had been divulged to Mrs. Best, who rendered very able assistance in carrying out the surprise by urging her husband to "the movies" after which they had planned to stop at the church to attend the meeting of the Delta Alpha class which supposedly was to convene there and to which they had been invited by the teacher, Mrs. E.

A. Smalley, several days previous. Upon entering the church parlors, Mrs. E. E.

Silloway in behalf of the people of the parish, presented Mr. Best with a handsome bouquet of 45 carnations, an appropriate reminder of the event. This of course "broke the news" the pastor, who joined in the good time as soon as he had recovered his eurprise. The color scheme used in the decorations was red and the vestry and parlor being charmingly trimmed and in perfect keeping with the May season. The rooms were transformed into a pretty garden spot by the use of evergreens.

intermingled with garlands of artificial red roses. Tiny evergreen trees were placed about room in conspicuous places, while the festoons of red and green crepe paper and the pretty May baskets, which were filled with red roses and evergreens and suspended about the room. produced a very pretty effect. The work of decorating was in charge of the Delta Alpha class, who also did much in other, lines to make the affair a success. A most attractive program had been prepared, consisting of the following numbers: Piano duet, Mrs.

A. W. Waite and Mrs. C. H.

B. Ellis gave two readings and J. A. Waite gave some comical songs, both being pleasing additions to the program. Following the musical program, a social hour was enjoyed and refreshments of ice cream and cake were served by the young ladies of the Philathea class.

During the latter part of the evening, the pastor was presented with a fine Webster's Unabridged Dictionary and tripod, as a gift from his parishioners. H. Waite made the presentation remarks and Mr. Best responded, speaking IN appreciative words of the thoughtfulness thus shown and the great pleasure the event had afforded him. Mr.

She received her education in Burlington, graduating from the high school in 1902. For three years she taught in the Converse school. In 1905 she was married to Dr. L. P.

Holcomb and in 1907, as soon as her father, who was in feeble health, felt he could spare her from his home, she came to Johnson with her husband, where they have since resided and where he has built up a large practice.
