HALSEY VOL. X NTERPRIS 1 no . HALSEY, LI^'N COUNTY. OREGON. NOV. A l<»2t •» ■ ■- A DOUBLE SURPRISE Miss Faith Adams Encounters a Wild Bear A Good Entertainment Church Announcements The first number of the Lyceum course on Tuesday evening was by the Maitland entertainers, con. sisting of three young men who were singers, musicians and read­ ers of ability. They gave an in. tereeling program to a well-filled house. There were solos, vocal and instrumental; duets and trios of up-to-date seloctions, well ren- and graciously received and appre­ ciated, jndging from the hearty ap­ plause frequently given. The signers for the Lyceum | course need feel no alarm for the receipts If the whole program is as good as the first number. It looks well and is a joy to the people of a small locality to get together on such an occasion. In glancing over the audience some were missed who should have been there and perhaps they will indulge, now that a verdict given is out by those who were consulted this morning as to the merits of the en­ tertainment. To a man they ren­ dered a favorable report. The next number will be by Glenn Morris, a scientific entertainer,ouNovemher 16.

At first the natives concluded that he was an escaped murderer and that this was retributive Justice being meted out to him. When they saw that he was unbanned they concluded that he was a god. 4. Paul heals Publius' father (w . 7- 10). These people are now getting some return for their kindness. When this nun of note was healed others came also and were healed. To this they responded In appreciation by load­ ing them down with necessary sup­ plies. II. Paul Arrives at Roma (vv 11-16). When Paul landed at Rome Christ's charge to the disciples was fulfilled. After three mouths' stay at Melita, Paul departs for Rome In the ship Al­ exandria. whose sign was Castor and Pollux. At Syracuse they were de­ layed three days, perhaps for favora­ ble winds. At Puteoll he found breth­ ren, at whose request he tarried seven days. At Appllt-Forum and at the Three Taverns brethren from Rome met him From Puteoll the news went before Paul's coming, and so interested were the brethren that they came more than forty miles to meet him. This greatly encouraged him, for which he gave God thanks. No one, perhaps, ever enjoyed more close fellowship with God, and yet no man ever en­ joyed more and derived more benefit from human fellowship than he. Uls readiness to preach the gospel at Rome, which he had expressed In the Epistle to the Romans, written from Corinth about three years before, was now realised. He was treated with great leniency at Rome, for he was allowed to hire a bouse there and live alone except that the soldier that re­ mained his guard was constantly with him. Being chained to a soldier was rather Irksome, but yet It gave him a chance to preach to the soldiers which he could not have had any other way. He rejotced In whatever circumstances, Just so the gospel was preached. III. Paul’s Ministry In Rome (vv. 17-81). 1. His conference with the leading Jews (vv. 17-22). He did not, as usual, watt for the Sabbath day to speak to the Jews. He only allowed one day for rest His object was to have a fair understanding with them When they came he endeavored to conciliate them. He told them that though be came as a prisoner, he was not a criminal. Though his own countrymen had so sought his life, he did not come with an accusation against them. The result of this Inter view was that the Jews- cautiously took neutral ground, but expressed a desire to hear what Paul could say In defense of a sect which was every­ where spoken against. The fact that this sect was spoken against Is no evi­ dence that It was wrong. Many times a thing may be wrong In men's minds, because thetr Judgments are biased. If a thing Is right In the sight of God It matters not what men think about It. 2. Paul expounding the kingdom of God and persuading concerning Jesus (vv. 23-31). He (Jointed out a real kingdom—the Messianic Kingdom with Jesii« as the King One of the delightful surprises of last Friday for the Wheelers was when petite Faith Adame dropped in on them in their new home ¡ d Halsey.

Klux Paraders and Pumpkin Ghosts Out Hallowe'en celebrations, from just a friendly frolic with apples and popcorn tor ‘ ‘cats’’ to an elab­ orate function, were indulged in on Monday evening and the young people were not very critical. It did not take much to make them happy. The streets were lined with ghosts in Ku Klux regalia and lighted pumpkins carried by masqueraders, and calls were made and windows were tapped on and doors were not neglected by any inenne. Frequently one heard bursts of laughter or shrieks of joy when someone perpetrated au unusual joke. Some mentally abnormal youlh threw a stone which struck Miss Bray, one of the teachers, who was chaperoning the 5th and 6th grades in their innocent frolic, cutting a deep gash on her forehead oloao to the hair and causing her much pain. This event alone marred the joy of the evening. Hallowe’en parties were staged in an appropriate wav. No other holiday belongs especially to the young folks of high school age and this day is devoted to frolics and nonsense. The Halsey high school gave a reception for Tangent last Satur­ day evening. A ll the Taugent student» were present except one. The hall waa effectively decorated in the high school colors, red and white. Black cat» and* jack-o- lanterns were in great abundance, while the lights were covered so as to cast spookv shadows about. Geraldine Cook, Leon Palmer, Frost Bass and Janet Boggs acted as receiving committee. Alberta Koontz gave the address of wel­ come to the visitore. A cornet solo, rendered by Clarence Corne­ lius, was received with great ap­ plause. The high school students were greatly pleased to meet their former professor, Frank M M ax ­ well. One of the chief entertainments of the evening was a mock trial in which Professor M axw ell waa charged with absconding with and annihilating the Halsey high school goat. Prof. H . E. English presided as judge and hie humorous orders and witty answers proved extremely amusing. The prose­ cuting attorneys were Ercell Kneed, Curley Hughes, Janet Boggs and A. Knox.
