These horses are very good size and are
well shaped in every respect. They are
the oldest of Solicitors colts in this
vicinity and give much promise OF being
fast roadsters. Byron is also driving an
other bay pair that are quite fast steppers,
one of which is Ethan n, who can give /
most of the roadsters merry clip to fol- 4

Over 60 members OF the /. o. o. F. and /
about % Rebekahs were present at st. /
Johns church Sunday. when Rev. Homer
White preached a sermon in observance I
Of the 18th anniversary OF the founding of |
the order. The text was |. Corinthians,
Kill, 10, "And now abideth faith, hope, (
charity, these three; but the greatest OF /
these is charity" These are called the
three theological virtues. II is indeed no .
mean tribute that charity is placed above
such noble qualities as faith and love.
But faith and love are selfish, while char
Ity is a divine virtue. Charity, or love, is
he central and binding link OF Odd Fell
owship. II the church were perfect in its
organization and administration, there
would be no need OF supplementary
societies like the Odd Fellows.
it is not. Odd Fellowship,
lnmindful OF creeds, does mission OF
practical Christianity. 1t has become a
great order, numbering nearly a million
members. Last year it paid in sick and
1eath benefits about S3,000,0O0. We can
but wish such an organization Godspeed.
