Since Jan. | Nellie Lumbert, the
l3-year-old daughter of Albert Lum-
bert, has been making her home with
Dewey Shook and wife, in Dandy, at
tending the Section school. Tuesday
afternoon a woman drove up to the
school and asked to see the girl, who
talked with her a moment and then
returned and asked to be excused.
They drove to Portland and caught
the 40 train for the north. The
woman was Mrs. August Gustavison,

She took the child to her home

Lumbert returned from Edmore
Saturday without the girl, but the
prosecuting attorney of Montcalm

that she must return the child. 1t

what Is man that thou are mindful of
him, or the son of man that thou Wis
itist him." He spoke for half hour
and although as stated by him that he
had not filled the pulpit as preacher
for number Of years, yet many in
the audience who had heard him in
other days noted that he had lost none
of his ,powers in that direction. 1t
was only the urgent invitation OF Bro.
Sheehan who was one of his boys in
Albion college and who wrote him
that the must come, that induced him
to accept and leaye urgent business,
Mr.. Gardner's brief sermon was a
most excellent exposition of the text
and in beautiful language told of
many ways in which God was mindful
of his children and of the gratitude
we owe to Him for the mercies and
blessings we enjoy.
He spoke OF the church which was
about to be dedicated to the service
of Almighty God of what credit and
influence for good it would be to the
city and of the duty incumbent on the
people for sustaining and nourlshing
it. He spoke encouraging words to
the boys and girls who would live to
enjoy it and of what thrill of delight
it would cause in the hearts of many
in future years.
Mr.. Joseph w. Powell of Buffalo
who had general charge of the meet
iags asked the prayerful attention of
all and in a very clear and concise
way outlined the work he had in
charge, that of endeavoring to raise
funds in payment of the Indebtedness
incurred in building the magnificent
temple of worship. 1t had cost he
said about $4,000 and $4,000 was
needed TO pay all Indebtedness, there
was mortgage however on the
church that could remain and with
$500 now on hand the amount that
must be raised was $500.
Mr.. Powell made an earnest and
effective appeal for wiping out the
indebtedness and threw his whole
soul in the work using argument and
illustrations that we're unique and to
the point in his address.
Mr.. Powell's plan was systematic
and when he called for solicitors to
go through the audience for pledges,
there were forty or more who instant
ly responded and they made thorough
work, this method was adopted at

PLAN TO FOUND SCHOOL
FOR little MOTHERS"

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-To
raise housework to the dignity of a
profession, and to establish a college
wherein students may be thoroughly
trained in all the branches of domes-
tic service, is the ambition of Mrs.
M. B. Shepherd, the president of the
Little Mothers Training school in
San Francisco.
This unique institution reaches out
for poor children and transforms
them into tidy little housekeepers. 1t
teaches them how to cook and sew
and wash and dust, and instills into
their little minds the dignity of their
work when well done.
Out Of crowded alleys and lanes,
frail little creatures with the care
of three or four younger brothers
and sisters on their shoulders, while
the mother goes out to work, are
gathered in by the Little Mothers
school, and while temporarily reliev-
ed of their charges, are taught to
perform neatly and quickly the duties
of a competent housekeeper.
The idea of the school is to exert
every influence to overcome the in
stinctive dislike of the American

POPE GRANTS
UNUSUAL PRIVILEGE

NEW YORK, May 25.-Informa-
ton has been received here from
Rome that the pope will accord to
the Very Rev. Luis Martin. general
of the Jesuits, the extraordinary priv
ilege of still celebrating mass, al
though his right arm has been am
putated. One of the strictest rules
OF the Roman Catholic church is that
In regard to what are designated the
"canonical fingers" of the priests
These are the thumb and index finger
of each hand, which alone are allow
ed to touch the Blessed Sacrament
They are especially anointed with
holy oil when the priest is ordained.
AS stated in the cable dispatches
some time ago, Father Martin, owing
to a cancerous affection, had to have
his whole right arm amputated This
would ordinarily have prevented his
ever celebrating mass again. When
the pope learned of the operation and
that Father Martin was rallying from
the effects he said that 80 beloved
a priest should not be deprived of the
consolation of his daily mass" An
other priest will have to assist him
at the altar, however.
OF all the cities of the world New
ork has had two notable instances
of the ecclesiastical value set on
the "canonical fingers" FatL er
O'Reilly, the late rector of the
Church of Our Lady of Good Coun-
sci. in East Nineteenth street, lost
his life by his effort to save a canoni-
cal finger. He injured his thumb
while fishing, and blood poisoning
set in. He refused to have it ampu-
tated and thus lose his right to say
mass until it was too late to save
his life
The Jesuit missionary, Father
Isaac Jogues, who it is expected will
soon be canonized as New York's first
saint, had his thumb and four fingers
hacked and bitten off in the most
barbarous manner by the Mohawk
Indians. He escaped from their cap
tivity and returned to Europe. Pope
Urban VIII, hearing of his mutilated
hands, sent him a particular dispen-
sation to celebrate mass.
