Morse Asks $4,000 from D. S. M.
r r

By his attorneys, Watson & Chap
man, Glen Morse, of Corunna, has COM
menced suit against the D., q. H. e. M.
railroad for damages of $4,000 because
of the death of his four year old son,
who was killed by being run over by a
train two years ago, the damages being
because of the loss of the boys services
until he was .twenty.on years of age.
A verdict was secured in a case
previously tried where damages were
claimed because of the pain and suffer-
ing sustained by reason of the death of
the child and the loss of his services.
A new trial was ordered, which
was held in Ingham County a short
time ago and the case taken from the
jury by Judge West because the Mich
igan law does not provide for damages
on the ground of pain and suffering.
The present suit covers only the one
point.

tion of home, or the determination
of our relation to Him who guides our
lives, is such crisis or turning point.
The one thing that impresses us, as
We stop to think of 1t, is the majesty
of human freedom and responsibility.
! When we would avoid decision or are
face to face with the consequences of
| it We are sometimes disposed to dis
claim freedom and responsibility and,
in truth human liberty is much involv-
ed and human responsibility is GER
tainly complex. But still in the last
analysis of being, there stands out
alone in eternal majesty, the free,
responsible person. We are never
unrelated in this universe and yet
we are never less than separate in
dividuals. They tell us that no two
atoms in the universe touch. Up to
certain point there is attraction and
then repulsion and between the atoms
there is a space filled with ether.
There must be something necessary
in this constitution Of things. The
truth as related to human life is
that each of us possesses a persist
ent and indestructible individuality.
One of many, related in a sys-
tenn, yet distinctly one. There is
thus a certain aloneness of being.
This extends also to the apprehension
of truth. For little time we are
comprehended in the parent life, and
then We have to. go to school for our
selves, and learn our own lessons.
Others may help us, but they cannot
assume our part.
The teacher sometimes in weari-
ness longs to supply the knowledge
the pupil often lacks, and the latter
Is equally willing and eager to per-
NIT the substitution, but this is de-
structive and not vicarious. Each
must learn his own lesson, that it
may become a part of his own ration
al life. And then, as we go on, we
find that conviction Of duty and moral
testing are also matters of individu-
ality. AS free beings We cannot es-
cape; nay, with joy of large and
high being, We ought to recognize
the necessity of seeing and choosing
the time, the right, the good.
The complement of human person
ality is God. At the parting of the
ways God is with us offering guild
ance and companionship. Somehow
we must coordinate our freedom with
His sovereignty. We were created to
be co-workers with Him. To what

Bailey-Hamilton..

Mr.. Lawrence Hamilton. of Lansing,
and Miss Maude, daughter of Mrs.
Bessie A. Bailey, were married We'd
nesday noon at the brides home in this
city, Rev. ]. A. Clyde officiating in the
presence of about twenty guests, the
bride being attended by Miss Allie
Hamilton, sister of the groom, Floyd
Bailey, brother of the bride, acting as
best man. The home was prettily de-
corated with roses and other flowers.
After wedding dinner the couple left
for Grand Rapids and will be at home
in Lansing in July.
The groom was former resident of
Owosso, being now an employee at the
Oldsmobile factory in Lansing. Mrs.
Hamilton is well known Owosso girl,
having lived here all her life. She was
a graduate of the Owosso Business Col
lege and has been employed at The
TINES Office for some time. She was

BaooaIaureate Sermon.

The Congregational church was
crowded Sunday evening by people in
terested in the schools and the gradu.
ates to hear the baccalaureate address
by Rev. G. III. Hanks. 1t was union
service, Revs. Hanks, d. w. Wise, E.
King, A. B. Leonard and J. A. Clyde
and Supt. j. w. Simmons being on the
platform, with the graduating class
and teachers of the schools occupying
I the front seats of the auditorium.
Junior class girls acted as ushers. The
scripture lesson was read bv Rev. Wise
and prayer offered by Rev. Leonard. the
benediction being spoken by Rev. King.
The music was appropriate and exceed
ingly well rendered. A part of the ad
dress by Rev. Hanks follows:
The prophet Ezekiel was told to
set. up finger-post where two ways
met, to indicate which way King
Nebuchadnezzar would take, accord
ing to the plan of God; and now the
king stood at the parting of the ways.
Which way would he take? He was
free to choose. He did not know that
Jehovah was directing his course, yet
he chose the way indicated.
have selected this incident only
as starting point for our thought
and yet there is great pertinency in
'<fe truth suggested.
The situation portrayed is dupli-
Gated in, every life and often many
times. There is the parting of ways,
the finger-post, the presence and plan
of God, the freedom of choice. No
part of life is meaningless, every part
has it's dignity and relation to the
whole. The blade of grass is as neces-
sary to the completeness of of world
as the most stately tree. We may
unduly magnify the simplest act Or
duty, but the greater danger is in
falling to see their significance and
relation.
We are not to forget the meaning
and Importance of the common walk
in life, the daily dignity of living.
But our attention is now drawn to
the crises, the turning points, the
points of decision and destiny, which
come along the pathway of every hu-
man life.Such parting of the ways is
not always visible to the natural eyes,
nor always indicated bv outward
events, yet we cannot be wrong in
assuming that the beginning or end

choosing of life work. the founda-

while the expense account was kept to
the low figure of six and one half per

Il
means: Will we go on with God in
His way and carry out His plans
There is another way, but we must
go that way alone. 1t is really the
solitary way and leads to loneliness.
l would not ever-weigh life with a
crushing sense of IT'S responsibilities
and solemnity, yet I would relieve it
of the fiippancy and thoughtlessness
which form the atmosphere of some
lives. We laugh and are pleased at
the butterfly, but we respect and love
the thoughtful and sincere person.
1t is they who perceive that it is a
high and holy thing to live who have
made the deepest impression upon
the world. What we are in this
world is more important than what
We do. The doing is the expression
of the being. Strange to say, there
are those who lay more stress on do
ing than being. 1t is like planning a
great factory without regard to the
power necessary to run the machin-
cry. If We are thinking of what we
are going to do, let us stop and think
Of what We are to be. We cannot
choose rightly until we decide what
is to be the aim and trend of our
life. Though the choice must be
ours, yet We may feel that God has
plan for our life which He is work
ing out through our faith in Him
and our willingness to be led by His
spirit. The matter of first import
ance is the consciousness of the Di-
vine. presence and of accord with God.
The next element is what is His will
for me? What does the finger-post
say? We may certainly believe that
we shall have some guidance and
help which we can understand and
appropriate. The test now is to be-
lieve that God guides to seek His
guidance, to rest the life in Him and
to be teachable and obedient.
Young ladies and gentlemen Of the
graduating class, you are standing at
the parting of the ways. 1t means
one of the inevitable separations of
life. School-days come to an end,
companionships are severed, even
homes break up and loved ones go
away. But the aloneness of expert
ence is lightened by the Divine pres
ence and love and moments Of trans
ition and choice are enriched by Dt
vine guidance. And so as you face
the future and go on you have sweet
fellowship with God and with those
who are going the same way. After
all, the companionships, both human
and divine, of kindred spirits, are as
real and potent as the necessary in
dividuality and responsibility. There
may be differences in experience and
work, yet the same spirit, variety in
the surrounding scenery, according to
the state and vision of the traveller,
and yet common highway and mutual
pilgrims. 1t is thus, with calmness
and high courage that you may go
on, in no real sense of loneliness ex-
cept as you want to be alone, at times,
with the highest of all fellowship,
You may wisely cherish the rela-
tions and friendships Of the present
hour, and yet know that, in the keep
ing of the Father is much that Is
larger and holier than anything you
have hitherto known.
Under this plan and guidance life
shall be rich and sweet. To the
trustful and obedient there need be
no fear, only boundless hope. Gods
way leads, finally, up the hills Of
light.

80, 900 paid to Mrs. c. d. Stewart, 3d.
247.31 to the Trust Co. and 90, 174.89 ex-
penses. A ten per cent dividend was
declared and the creditors authorized
the trustee to sell at public sale July 16
at the armory, the balance of the assets
which includes notes, mortgages for
IS, 100 and life insurance which has a
cash surrender value Of $3, 700. The
trustee was ordered to return deposits
made on the day of the assignment. re-
fusing to return deposits made a few
days before the assignment, the amount
to pay being $3.50. The question of
suit against those who withdrew funds
knowing the bank was insolvent was
postponed until the final meeting in
August or September.
1t Is thought another dividend of from
three to five per cent will be paid and
Mr.. G. d. Stewart will probably then
be discharged under the bankrupt act.
