Wednesday evening last the now lodge
room of Butler Lodgu No. 97 I. O. 0. Ft, was
opened to the inspection of the members of
the lodge and friends. The room is a large
one. delightfully located and although on
the third floor is easily approached by wide
stairways. The room has been filled up at
considerable cape so. but economically as
members of th order. especially Past
Grand Brintun. have given their supcr~
vision and services on the work. The offi-
cers disks and furniture emblematic of the
order, and all its appointments are of good
quality and in excellent taste. for the pur-
poses for which it is intended it is complete
in all its details. and is well furnished and
commodluus as any lodge room in the stale.
Butler Lodge has been a decided success.
Organised a few months since it now can;
bars a membership of over sixty, which is
increasing as rapidly as it due regard fur the
interests of the order will allow. Previous-
ly its meetings bavc been held in Lincoln
Council.
On the evening of the opening the room
was filled to overflowing. The presiding
amour L. E. Dennis. the Noble Grand of the
lodge. called the assembly to order. and the
entertainment begun by an overture from

expressed a desire for it Suvlour‘s forgiv-

Monday night there was it “Praise Scr—

at the Cungreralionnl Church by Rev. John
stcnpott. of East. Bridgeport. The clicu~
dance. notwithstanding the stormy weather
and slippery traveling. was quite lurgO. At
the M. It. Church the service consisted of

anrvicus were held in the Methodist. Bupilat
nud Congrogntloual churches; At tho Melli-

of any truck-titty meeting held up to that
time. Dr. Pcnrnc preached frum the text.
"For what is a man pruflttml if ho slmli gain

what shall at mun give in exchange for his
soul." The limiter pmentcd the subject In
his usual pittin. forcible and earnest “lath

he was cullcd sway the nvxt day to attend
to his duties in another direction. and when
his departure was announced it was rt-cclvctl
with regrets by the church nwtuiwrs, and
all who desired to see the work of revival
go on—muuy feeling that tho Inns of his low
flucncc would prove detrimental in the
cause. and fearing that the labors timt worn
to dcvovlc upon Mr. Simonsnu \voilld prowl
injurious to him in his weakened physical
condition. but a determination Wits ulso
manifested to entry on the Work. At tin»
clone of Mr. Pentue‘s sermon. the usual in—
vltntion was given, and fully fifty went for-

that were vacated for thum. Finn-ten nu-
nouncmi that they bull cxpcrionccil religion.
and rcnlizvd n forgiveness of sins. The
meeting was it rcmnrkublc one. and the
manifestations equally rcmnrkablc. At the
close of the services many lingered in say
good-bye to Dr. Pnnrnc and thank him frr
the consolation that had been imparted to
tht-m under his preaching of the Word.
There was no fnliing of? in tho u'tcudnncc
