just inc month ago today the Lady
Maccabees of Mitchell Hive, No. 81.
met their first loss IN the death OF
n or its worthy members. Mrs.
Clarence Walrath. This is the first
time they have had occasion to test
the promptness of their supreme
officers in meeting death claims.
Mrs Walrath carried $500 insurance
in his order since May, 1904. The
claim was filed with the Supreme
Hive at Polt Huron, Mich, just ten
days ago, and Yesterday The money
was received tor the correct amount.
Such promptness i'm an order is GER
tainlv commendable and worthy Of
attention. The Lady Maccabees have
placed themselves on a sound imam
cial basis and are equal to meet any
losses which may occur in theirorder.
Services at the Presbyterian churcn
Sunday were very we'll attended
both morning and evening. In the
morning service Rev. Surbeck de-
liEvered a strong sermon, the theme
beng "Divine Companionship,''
which was highly appreciated. The
choir sang a beautiful anthem and
Mr.. G. M. Hawks sang a solo which
was we'll appreciated. In the evening
the Hon. A. e. Hitchcock delivered
an address on ''Christianity from a
lawyers point OF view" which was
a most interesting talk. Christianity
as viewed from a lawyers standpoint
brought to light new ideas and yet
these all led to the one Immortal
God. His address is the beginning
OF a series OF Sunday evening address
ses from leading professional and
business men OF our city.
