uses and purposes of the church in
•community and the pledging of money
to pay for the cost of the building.
Just as the bishop concluded the
dedication, the sun broke through the
clouds, giving the assembled hosts a
feeling that the Lord was manifesting]
His benediction on the consummation j
of erecting a temple to be used for'
His glory.
The pleliminary exercises of the ded-1
ieation began Saturday evening when |
the Ladies' Aid Society of the church
nity.
Following the sermon the work of
taking pledges was begun, and in a
short time the amount needed was
secured.
One splendid feature of this part
of the program was that of member?
of the Baptist and Christian churches
giving pledges to assist in caring fo-
♦he cost of the building. It was good
to see this friendly and cooperative
spirit.
After the pledges were made, the
dedication of the church by Bishon
served a dinner complimentary to
Bishop Waldorf, at which 300 persons | WaM()rf f0nowed. Before he closed
sat down to the three long tables which
stretchcd the full length of the base-
be called Rev. Tho'ouehman to hi=
and placing his arm affectionate-
ly about the local pastor, he told the
members of the church that if it had
not been for their pastor's courage,
natience and persistence they would
not have had a church to dedicate. He
"•■anted them to know that the task of'
building a new church edifice was a
''"eat one and a hard one.
"Your pastor," said the bishop, "is
a human being, and mnV s mi 'takes
I am a hnman and 1 make mistakes'
vou are human and you make mis-
•ikes. Get in behind your pastor and
;n a militant spirit march forawrd in
vour work for the kingdom of Christ."
And thus came to its conclusion the
_ ,, orvices of dedicating a new temple
deeply conscious of one s duty to God , .
' "or God s use. It was a ceremony
^at will live long in the memory of
ment room.
Bishop Waldorf gave a very inter-
esting talk to those present on the
splendid efforts which had been made
to provide Yukon with a church so
constructed as to serve the needs of
the community, dwelling on the great
labor attending the building of such
an edifice of tlje sacrifices necessary
to be made by individuals if they de-
sired to have such an institution, and
honed that the following day would
see them prepared to meet the sit-
uation in 'he right spirit and be ready
to dedicate the church.
The bishop is a man who believes,
in being jolly and friendly as well as!
A health promotion campaign was
completed in the Yukon school last!
week. The work was done by Yukon
physicians and Miss Pearl E. Wilson,
county public health nurse. Physical ^
examinations were made of all pupils
and individual instruction given them
regarding the particular health or
food habits that they seemed most in
need of practicing. A remarkable
feature of the campaign was the
quick results in change of habits,
where changes were recommended. A j
particularly thin pupil was asked the,
second day if she drank coffee. She
replied: "I have quit, and 1 am not
going to drink any more. I am drink-
ing milk instead, since you told me to
yesterday."
A boy with very dirty teeth and
badly infected gums from which pus
was oozing, was called in for final
inspection the last day of the cam-
paign and found to be much inproved.
Asked if he had been to the dentist,
he answered, "not yet, but brother is
going to take me. I've been brushing
them, though." "Keep that up. and you
will soon have a cure without the den-
tist's help," was his final instructions.
A poorly developed girl asked for a
special conference to learn if she
"hould try to form the habit of eat
•ng lunch when she did not feel espe
••ially hungry. Another girl, who had
recovered about two years ago from
a tuberculosis infection of the bone
found she was losing weight rapidly,
•>iid was develoning extreme nervous-
ness. Before the week was over she
had changed her daily program so as
to get more sleep and rest. She was
referred to her family physician for
-ogular examinations in the future
so the disease will not again reach
an acute stage without her knowl-
edge.

Recent changes in the business
world of Yukon have been the disposal
by Mr. W. J. FWsgerald of his pool
hall to Mr. A. Florence, and posses

The purchase by Mr. Fitzgerald of
the lease on the Woods building oc-
cupied by the Yukon Motor Co., and
the purchase also of the fixtures.
The purchase of the battery busi-
ness of the Yukon Motor Co. by the
West Side Motor Co.
The purchase of the Cash Grocery

After selling the pool hall, Mr.

to cease business, he negotiated with

Mr. Fitzgerald's intention to engage

he will also have in connection with it
a first class home bakery, having se-
cured a man in Atoka to come here
and establish the bakery in connec
♦ion with the grocery.
Mr. Fitzgerald's interests are here
and he decided, that Yukon was a
good place to live in, and so he ar-
ranged matters in a way that he will
remain as a citizen, a decision that
is pleasing to his many friends.
Messrs. Estes and Beaslay have de-
cided that they can engage in other
lines to their own advantage, and so
sold out their business. Mr. Estes is

W. P. STANSBURY, Pastor.
Let's Go to Church.
The whole world is swinging under
the control of Christendom, during the
last one hundred years. Our knowl-
edge of nations and their conditions
is almost complete. The messengers
of King Jesus can march into every
country today. The awakening in
Asia can be traced to Commodore
Perry's treaty with Japan in 1854.
The marvelous transformation in Ko-
rea, Japan and China finds its expla-
nation in the spread of the principles
of Christianity.
The call to the church today is loud j
and urgent. The Gospel lighthouses
♦bat encircle the world are silent sen-
tinels telling of the worth of the
"hurch. But, discarding all these
things, valuable as they are, let lis I
♦ake our stand on that which makes
'he church of greatest worth.
More powerful than men. money and
means, is truth. The church is t}ie
nillar and support of truth. The
"hurch alone possesses the vision of
richt and duty. It alone breeds a
contempt for hypocrisy. No other
organization has the moral qualities
o attempt the conquest of the world
"or righteousness. Christianity alone
meets the absolutely irrepressible
needs of life. The church needs you—
vou need the church.
The Methodist church will be at
home in their new building Sunday.
If not attending elsewhere, we invite
vou to meet with us.
Morning subject "How to Face the
Present Hour." The evening service
begins at 7:45. The pastor will ae-
'iver a sermon-lecture on "Birds of a
Feather." Special music a feature
of both services.
Sunday is "Every member present

The Men's Bible class is steadily
growing. You are invited to attend
