McDonald and T. J. Scrogglns. The parlors were filled to overflowing, many being unable to gain admit tance. The rooms were brilliantly lighted with many candles In silver chandlebra, and Jardlnlers of the fragrant sacred lily occupied positions of vantage. A few minutes past I the ladles chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Sllverthorn, took their position on the stage and rendered two beauti ful selections, "Cobwebs," by Gerrlt, and Schumann's celebrated "Miller's Song." The program consisted fur ther of the following numbers. We will not attejnpt to describe them, as each number was a gem of Its kind, and all received hearty encores: a "Cobwebs." '. Gerrlt Smith b "The Miller," ... Schubert Mrs. O. E. Sllverthorn, Dir. The special services In ' Central Church of Christ go on with great in terest.. Last evening Mr. McSparran spoke on "Danger Lines." He spoke of the danger of- boys and girls spend ing their evenings upon the streets. Many La Grande parents might well profit by the warnings given. The danger of covetousness, the worship of wealth was clearly shown. Speak ing of the evil influences of the sa loon, the speaker made some state- ments which ought to arouse the drowsy "friends"' of reform. The card table with society gam bling anti liio iuitu! iU rc'icivi their share of attention. The fact that about 85 per cent of fallen wom- -en trace their ruin back to the waits should warn mothers. Dancing and card playing church members have no power to win souls. People who will unite with the church on the heels of such a sermon 111 hardly expect to continue in sin and yet be counted Christians. Before the meeting closed six came forward to take a stand for the right. This evening a number are to be baptized. Meetings are announced for this, Thursday and Friday evenings, and it seems likely that the services will continue over Sunday. nun li I.' '!.!'
