Reign of Saul Overthrown By
the Royal School.
VERY PLEASING IS CANTATA.
Splendid Amateur Performance Pre­
sented at Armory Last Night—Will
Be Repeated This Thursday.
^Evening.
m. Classes for every one. Sermon at
11, ‘ ‘Thy Kingdom Come. ’ ’ The Christ­
ian Endeavor society will hold its last
service of the present contest. The
special effort put forth by the young
people has been gratifying. The even­
ing service will be made more attrac­
tive by the large choir. The subject
of address is: “The Valley of Dry
Bones.” This is an evangelistic ser­
vice and an after service of prayer and
testimony will be held for all who wish
to remain. The loosing side of the con­
test in the Presbyterian Christian En­
deavor society will entertain the winn­
ing side on New Year’s Eve. The
Brotherhood and Mizpah class is also
invited to enjoy the evening. The ex­
ercises will be held in the Endeavor
room of the church.
Evangelist Kellums will begin a ser­
ies of meetings at the Christian church
tomorrow. These meetings will con­
tinue until January 1.
Commencing. Sunday evening Janu­
ary 2, and continuing until Sunday
evening the 9th, the Presbyterian, Bap­
tist, Christian and Methodist churches
will hold a series of meetings together.
The gatherings assemble at the usual
hour, 7:30 p. m. Each service starts
off with song, prayer and testimony,
followed by a sermon. The Methodist
church will be the convening place Sun­
day and Monday; the Christian church"
Tuesday and Wednesday; the Presby­
terian church Thursday and Friday, and
the Christian church the final service
on Sunday evening. Every effort is to
be made to make these gatherings sea­
sons of great blessing, and it is. hoped
that the results shall more than com­
pensate preachers and people for the
extra efforts put forth. Next week the
complete program of speakers and top­
ics will be given.
The Methodist Brotherhood held a
most interesting meeting Tuesday even­
ing in the church. Three new members
were initiated into the craft. • At the
close of the program the brethern went
down to the gymnasium where an appe­
tizing lunch had been prepared and was
served by Messrs. Hall, Sanford and
Monroe. Judging by the comments
these members will often be asked to
serve in a like capacity.
“King Saul” was presented at the
Armory on Wednesday night, and will
be given again tonight—Thursday. The
play is under the auspices of the Royal
Intermediate school, and is staged very
creditably. Rehearsals have been in
progress for several months. The sev­
eral participants acquitted themselves
splendidly, and received applause af­
ter applause from the large audience
present last night. “King Saul,”
Judge Willis Perkins’ sacred cantata,
deals directly, a s its title would indi­
cate, with the life of the first king of
the Hebrew nation, a time through
which there was no grander, excepting
the reign of David and Solomon, which
immediately followed Saul’s reign. The
cantata opens at the rejoicing over the
conquest at the Amalekites, wherein
Saul so nearly obeyed God and yet the
prophet told him that complete obedi­
ence was necessary then as now in or­
der to please God. And inasmuch as
Saul tried to shift the responsibility on­
to the people, God rejected him and in
his downward path he finally goes so
far as to consult a familiar spirit.
David receives praise because of his
valor, and this makes Saul more angry
and he tries to kill David. Saul’s army
is overthrown in battle and Saul and
his sons are killed. David is crowned
king, and the cantata closes with all
sounding the praise of the new king.
Those who take parts in “King Saul”
are: Saul, King of Israel, A. Earle

MALE SHOPPERS ARE DUE.
Men Usually Leave Purchases of Gifts
to Eleventh Hour.
With only a short time remaning be­
fore Christmas, the rush becomes more
pronounced and business people are
meeting the demand. All of the elev­
enth-hour buyers are being heard from.
The belated male shoppers must yet do
their buying. Some storekeepers aver
that the absence of men is to be ex­
plained largely by the fact that the
average man has his wife or sister or
mother do his Christmas shopping, But
that does not relieve him from the ne­
cessity- of buying something for his
shopping representative. The store­
keepers quite generally are expecting
a rush of male shoppers Friday night.
Concerning the increase in trade over
last year, it .has- created everywhere
among business people spirit. The in­
creased sales over one year ago makes
everybody feel good. It has surpass-'
ed expectations, and all are happy in
consequence.

The Sentinel has always posed as a

it comes to their invading the privacy
of our sanctum sanctorum and distrib­
uting a pint of cow’s cream over our
Sunday-go-to-meeting coat and then
wiping it up with our lavender muffler
we draw the line. Even our mahogany
office furniture is bespattered with
butter fat, and the velvet Brussels:
floor-covering suffers likewise, and
yet we attempt“" to smile our. bland-’
est, while inwardly there is something
doing that jeopardizes our chances for
treading the golden streets.’ Cream
is all right in its place,, but its place is
in the dairy; women are all fight in a
way, but this particular one -doesn’t
weigh much.
Landlord Westbrook is represented
to be a hard nut to crack at solo; Mr.
Trask a beaut at pinochle; Mr. Medley
unbeatable at manipulating the ivories;
Mr. Wilson a captain at nigger bil­

bowling, and Mr. Rosenberg a habit­

cake.
Not only does Cottage Grove gain a
valued acquisition to its citizenship in

home of an accompanying bulldog that

No Wonder There’s Fever.
Salem water is so plentifully supplied
with colon bacilli that, the analyses of
there samples, just completed by Dr.
Ralph C. Matson; bacteriologist for
the State Board of Health, reveals the
presence of this bacillus in every cubic
centimeter of the water examined.
The extent to which’the Salem water
is infected may be judged by the fact
that at least one bacillus Was found: in
each cubic centimeter. In quantity a
cubic centimeter is about 15 drops. 3
