M. U CHURCH
The nlatform meeting at the Melho-
dUi church la I night waa a decided
tucce. A good alted audience was
preaent. and tho peeches were all to
the point.
II. D. dale, who wa to have pro-
touted tho topic. "Tho Duty of the
Church to the Man Outalde," waa not
able to bo proton, and Judge H. L.
llenson took hi place. Judge Ben
son' remark conveyed the following
fact:
There ought not to be any man out
side tho church. If the church mem
ber nttends merely aa a matter of
duty; If his worship la without Ufa or
Interest; if hi religious life con
taint no test, the stranger who cornea
la discouraged and .will not bother the
church again with hla attendance.
doorae J. Walton presented the
subject, "The Duty of the Man Out
side to tho Church." Hla thought
were that It I generally admitted that
tho church Is n necessity to the com
munity. All letters to the Chamber
of Commerce contain one Inquiry ask
ing what churrhea are In the town.
The strange thing I that n man will
admit tho valuo of the church, believe
In God, rocelvo the benefit of church
life, and not Identify himself with the
organisation. Hla duty toward the
church Is a positive, not a negative
attitude.
W. A. Dolxoll spoke upon the topic
of "Brotherhood." He cited Instance
within his own observation where
Chrlstlon men banded themselves to
cether In communities (or definite
Christian work, and reached nearly
every man In the community by the
simple motto, "Get right with God."
Ho nresented a nlan whereby the men
of Klamath Fall, without regard to
denomination, might do effective
Christian work Sunday afternoons In
outlying districts, aa well as In tho
city.
All tho speeches were to the polut
nmi unit effective, and after the ser
vice, during the aoclal half hour on
ovory sldo expressions were beard to
the effect thnt It had been a most
nrofitahle evening. Another meeting
of like character will be held next
Sunday night.

Arthur Charles Perclval, British

Mexico Into tbo death of William S.
Denton, who waa believed to have
been shot in the office of General
Villa, has found it Impossible to go
on with tho work. The commission
of British and American representa
tives who had decided to go to Chi
huahua to see tbe body of the mur
dered man, learned that little atten
tion wouM be paid to them, so they
called off the trip.
Mr. Perclval has talked with Mrs.
Benton about the case. He has also
sought Americans in . EI Paso, who
knew something of the killing. In
tbe meantime, however, it Is not
likely that much further will be done
by the commission till more definite
Instructions come from the State

In a vain effort to save tome of hla
effects, Maddox threw them out of the
