Miss Saxe arranged to organize special | Bible study classes in several of the out- lying districts. She intends to have six such classes, having one to meet each ot six nights in the week. The pastors responded promptly and a | weekly meeting was scheduled for each ' of the following places: Benson, Tuesday evenings; South Side, Wednesday even- | ings; Councl Bluffs, Friday evenings. A meeting will also be arranged for the Central park district some evening, and & pastor from Florence spoke for a weekly meeting for some afternoom. In addition to this work Miss Saxe con- | ducts a Bible study class on the rostrum of the tabernacle after each afternoon meeting there, Miss Gamiin explained the wide ramifi- cations of her work in teaching the boys and girls of the eity. Her work is with boys and girls. It is mot with children. { She asked the ministers to get that seeming paradox in mind. Not as Children.

It has been over United States territory all the time. Our outposts at the International bridge and the ope at the Brownsville pumping plant, located the firing as coming from Big Bend, in river, just west of Brownaville, probably Mexican outposts, as the firing on aeroplancs re- ported on September 1 was from the same jocality. The troops oocupying the south bank of the river are Carranzistas, At the same time that firing on aero- Planes was going on, our outposts at the Brownsville pumping plant were fired on. This was returned. No casualties on our side.” Capture of Parredon by Curransa forces under General Trevino was an- | nounced to the State department today | in consular dispatches from Neuvo Lar- ero.
