The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1900-01-19

Rev. @. ii. Hanks preached on Sunday
morning one of the most inspiring sermons
for the making noble the common every
day affairs of life which has ever been
heard In Owosso. The sermon brought
home the truth that mans highest service
to society is not necessarily to attempt first
to get into new surroundings but to be and
do ones best where one already Is placed.
The subject was "The Religious and the
Secular" taken from the text, 1 Cor. 7-24,
81 pray not that Thou shouldest take them
out of the world. but that Thou shOuldest
keep them from the evil" and In treating 1t
he said: "Thus our Lord prays for his fol-
lowers in every age. To restored man
who would journey with Him. He says
Go home to thy friends" Back to the
ole work aud duties. There abide. There
through his. daily life, he was to touch the
great life of the world. In like manner
Paul says to the early Christians and to US,
LET every man wherein he is called, there
abide with God" The spiritual man sees
God In the world, In his fell0wman, In him
self, and In his work, and as result, In
very real sense, all work and duties become
religious work and duties. We believe In
''the righteousness of common life." The
world needs prayers, but we must not for
get that it also needs food, clothing and
shelter, and whatsoever as His disciple,
ministers unto the needs Of man is really
engaged In religious service. We have but
one life, and it cannot be divided. All of
It belongs to God. Let US serve Him
through serving man, in the common duties
of every hour.

A Vernon Anniversary.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank West
colt, of Vernon, was q scene of brilliance
and good cheer Wednesday evening when
its genial host and hostess threw 1t open to
nearly one hundred of their friends In
memory of the happy event which occurred
just twenty. five years ago that day, the day
when their marriage vows were taken.
A quarter of century does not always
make an anniversary of the day of twenty.
five years before happier and more joyous
day than the one from which the succeeding
anniversaries are dated and yet in this case
1t would have been difficult for the guests to
have believed that of the two days the
the twenty. fifth was not even happier than
the first. Certainly If 1t may be judged from
the pleasure and good cheer which prevailed
they could not have thot otherwise, for of all
the happy occasions of which their home
has been the scene none has ever been more
enjoyable in every way. But the guests
remembered their opportunities as well and
the reminders of their esteem were numer-
Gus and elegant.
During the evening q quite elaborate
menu was served with charming taste, while
during the banquet music was furnished by
Miss Nellie Westcott, the only daughter of
the host and hostess.
Mr.. and Mrs. Westcott are among the
best known and respected residents of
Vernon both In business and social way,
while their acquaintance and list of friends
extends far beyond the bounds of their
home village. Mrs. Westcott, formerly
Miss Mary Porter, lived in Williamson
previous to their marriage since which
time they have lived continuously In Yer
non. Mr.. Westcott is a prominent republi.
can, has been q member of the state
legislature, postmaster of Vernon, and Is
now deputy internal revenue collector for
this district.

WHY WE ADVERTISE

First because we have line of goods that recognized
as standard first class in every particular consequently we
are anxious that people know all about them.
Next we advertise because in one weeks time we can
talk with several thousand Farmers about what
is why we last week published that long list of farmers
names who bought Mccormick Machines last
season.
Of course everybody can't do that because they have
not got the list or the, popular machines. If
would not advertise either We have our reasons for
advertising; doubtless others have their reasons for not
advertising

school board met Thursday evening and
elected the following teachers: III. Nc

principal; Adam Smith, first grade: Eff
Stie Wolliman, second grade; Blanche
Patton, third grade; Jessie Eden. fourth
grade: Belle Lancelot, fifth grade: Mary
Kelly, sixth grade; Alma Studenan,
seventh grade.
The people in Manning are elated over
the election Of Miss Adora Smith, of
Marshalltown. This teacher could have
been elected years ago, but declined to
accept a position in our schools The
board surely acted very wisely in se-
Letting her. The salary of the principal
was raised 5000 more, making his salary
now $1,000. The assistant pricipal,s sal
airy was also raised SO per month. Man
ming schools We're never in better condi-
tion. and since the populistic members,
with their crazy ideas, have been de-
throned, matters are getting better
right along. They lowered the standard
of our schools by cutting teachers
wages. thereby being unable to secure a
good principal with good corps Of
teachers.
