Wo could write this whole item up like the title If it did riot entail so much hard labor. The backward party held by the Travelers' Club of the Methodist church Friday night was the most backward affair which we have ever had reported to us. Just tmriglne e spelling bee with the words spelled backward, clothes on backward, enter by the back door, say good-bye first and how-d'ye-do last, refreshments served first, games played backward (prizes given away first, we suppose, if there were any), and everything else ell turned around until the chances are most of the par ticipants went, home and got up In stead of going to bfd. Tho young ladies reported a jolly good time, and one is tempted to believe them. Missionary Meeting. The Foreign Christian Missionary Society of the M. E. church met at the home of Mrs. W. D.

Billings, Hatch, Helman, Patrick,1 Van Fos sen, Hodgson, Howard, Hathaway, Cordell. Leavitt, Engle, Yeo, . Eu banks, Myrtle Billings and Douglass. A splendid talk was given by Mrs. Eubanks, who represented "the lady in calico" by her costume and place on the program. She spoke of iiow all important events in our Jives were brought to mind by different dates, and that March 23, 1SG9. was a date important to missionary wom en because on that date the first woman's foreign missionary society was organized. Six women met to gether in Boston, some of them trav eling twenty-five miles to get there, and organized the woman's society and planned to raise $300 to send a missionary to India. Money was not plentiful then and they decided they would dress In calico as they -went up and down the streets of Boston, in order to raise the desired amount. However, this sacrifice was not re quired,' for the funds wore forthcom ing and the missionary sent. Mrs. Eubanks asked the ladicsjf each one could not glvo up some desired arti cle to help raise money for those who had less blessing than ourselves In other countries. Mrs. Van Fossen played a piano solo in her usual pleasing manner. .. A missionary quiz, conducted by Mrs. Grace Engle, was very interest ing. Those who participated in this feature of the program were Mes dames R. Billings, Yoo, Patrick, Howard, Douglass, Cordell and Miss Songer. The meeting closed with a piano solo by Miss Halght and splendid re freshments by tho hostess. Brethren Buy Church Property Last week the church property at the corner of Fifth and Main streets, commonly known as the stone church, and owned by Mrs. L. E. Reader, was sold to the First Brethren church. This building was erected in 1910 for the First Brethren church, but about three years ago, because of certain difficulties, tho church disorganized. At that 'time the building became the property of Mrs. Reader. It has since been used for various religious serv ices. In" January of this year Rev. C. E. Johnson of Turlock, Cal., arrived and took charge of affairs, reorganizing the church. The success of his work has been such that the reorganized church has purchased back the build ing. It is understood that the build ing Is soon to be dedicated and a re vival service started. B. F. Brushwood returned Friday from Grants Pass after a few days' visit with D. N. Adams in the sugar city. Ashland To Lose ; Live Young Worker H. O.
