Board of Supervisors Meet and Take Action
on the Situation.

Board Of Supervisors Meet and Take Action
on the Situation.
The Montcalm County Board of Sup
ervisorS met at Stanton in special ses-
sion Monday The city of Greenyille
submitted a proposition to furnish a site
and build a court house without expense
To the county. if Greenville was made
the county seat. But the question 10
submit 10 the voters the changing of the
county seat received less than a majority
of the votes of the Board The super
visors then voted To submit TO the voters
at the spring election the question of
bonding the county for SIC, 900 to build
new court house. Should this question
carry the county seat Will remain at
Stanton, but should il be rejected that
would seem to mean that the people pre-
fer TO accept Grcenville's offer rather
than raise the money for building by
tax.
Questions concerning county seats and
the building of court houses are not al
ways speedily settled and our neighbor-
ing county has not yet solved all the diff
ficulties.

A MODEL CONGREGATION
what II Is"-Outlines Of Sermon Preach ed
by DIR. Bruske in Presbyterian
Church Last sunday.

DR.. Bruske occupied the pulpit at the
Presbyterian church last Sunday, both
morning and evening. His subjects
were "A Model Congregation what it
is, and what it does. He spoke i'll part
as follows:
"A church without pastor is like a
boat without an oar; like a cup defender
without sail; like an ocean liner
without pound Of coal. This is our
situation at present. All we can do is
TO scan the horizon in search of "A minis
ter. We want of course "A modern and
model minister. He also wants a mod
ern and model congregation. What a
heaven upon earth il would be If this
modern minister and this model congre-
CATION could be brought together! For
that we are praying. For the minister
we can only pray; but for our model
congregation we can do more than pray.
We can definitely decide what it is and
then bend every energy 70 realizing the
ideal. What is the Model Congrega-
ton; 1t assembled nineteen centuries
ago in the house of Cornelius in Cesarea
by the sea The description is in Acts
X-33. Now therefore we are all here
present before God 10 hear all the things
that are commanded thee of God.
Looking sharply at this picture we
! discover;
"lst. That the members of this con
gregation We're present at the hour ap-
pointed, Now There were no late
comers TO that congregation
I'D. They were All present From
that congregation there were no alb
! sentees.
"3d. They were present before God
and therefore i'll the attitude of prayer
and devotion.
18th. They were there TO hear all
the things commanded of God They
We're there not for the message of maI
! but for the message Of God.
This model congregation of Cesarea i
also the model congregation for today
and for Alma With the right kind OF
a pastor what might not such cohgrc
CATION achieve for righteousness anC

ARCADIA FARMERS CLUB.
Successful Meeting at the Home of Mr.. and
Mrs sylvester Peck Last Thursday.

The February meeting of the Arcadia
Farmers Club met with Mr.. and Mrs.
Sylvester Peck, Thursday afternoon,
February 23. The session opened with
the usual exercises.
The delegate gave his report of the
State Association for which a vote of
thanks was returned. Only one re-
sponded on the program. The associa
tional topics were then discussed. The
first. Does Michigan need a penal insti-
tuition for women cOnvicts?'
Mr.. Fuller thought seperate prison
would incur more expense and did not
favor II.
Mr.. Youngs said that women convicts
in the Detroit house of correction worked
and the city of Detroit had the benefit
of their labor, whereas in a special insti-
tuition their labor would benefit the state.
The second question, General,
Against Special Farming Which Il best
Adopted TO Michigan Agriculture;'
Mr. Peck thought he would specialize
on beets and beans.
Mr. Roberts thought general farming
paid best, as one generally had a variety
of soils and would raise variety of
crops.
Mr.. ana Mrs. hODertS were admitted
10 the club and r. A. Wood handed in
his name.
The next meeting will be held with
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Irish and will be an

years Alma has won from NJ A. G.. in

the event, Schenck raised the college
record from feet ? inches held by

modification Ii authorizes the appoint
ment by the dairy and food commission

share the fear of some that this would
be the creation of dangerous ma
chine. and it may be that the changes
were rung upon the machine bogy last
year to the extent that it has become in-
nocuous, so that it can neither imperil
nor scare anybody any more.
