knew Arthur s. Belcher, a wealthy bust

horsemen in the State had dwelt under
the same roof with his wife without
speaking 10 her for many years: that
they never sat at the same table and
that they had rooms at opposite ends OF
the house. The revelation was made by
Belcher In support of his contention that
he was not responsible for his wifes
debts. He was sued by the James Dyce
company for s24.05 for goods supplied 10
Mrs Belcher. The husband appeared TO
be astonished by the claim. He said it

To have charged against him in years.

INTRINSIC VALUE OF
GIFT AvA|LS NOTHING
Gifts Bestowed to Keep in
Fashion Amount to Very
Little.

Rev D. NJ. Helmick Of nif Methodist
Episcopal church delivered an able and
forceful sermon Sunday morning. His
subject was. Thanks BE 10 the Lord for
His Unspealable Gif:." and he said In
part;
We appreciate a gift In two ways-
the intrinsic value In what It is worth TO
US In supplying need. the value increas-
ing with the need and our ability TO sup
ply that need in any other way The
other way to estimate the value of a gift
is by the disposition with which IL Is
given, The intrinsic value OF the gif,
has nothing TO do with the value OF Il
only as part OF life The gifts that are
simply bestowed TO keep In fashion have
no value In either sense, and the child S
Sift to the parent has no value bur TO
snow the childs S love 10 the parent
When there Is something we need and
are helpless TO supply IL ourselves and
II also represents the love and part of the
life OF the donor then Il becomes an un-
speakable gift
Some people give because they have
learned TO give. others because they have
been given first. We do not find II In
ourselves until we find It In some one
else. The child finds 1t in the love for
it's parent and love for God. because his
first love was for us"
