Took the Cash.

Some n who has more temerity than
Bible knowledge made a successful raid
upon the children's birthday bank in the
secretary of the Methodist Episcopal
church.. 1t takes a man with bravery
and daring of a certain kind to make a
raid upon a home, where the people are
present to defend their property, but any
ordinary person can enter a sacred edi-
fee, which is left unlocked for reasons
we'll known to all people, and carry away
that which has been ~consecrated to the
Lord, simply because there happens to
be no one present to look after such
fellows.
| wish to state in connection with the
above that l am a firm believer in Christ
like charity, and if anybody is in dire
need of money or because of covetous-
ness cannot leave it severely alone, let
him come to me and l will share with
him what little l happen to have, and
that with good grace, too, rather than
have him rob the children of their little
gifts for those who have not heard the
story of the blessed Christ.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Bake returned
to this city Sunday after an absence of
three months. Mr.. and Mrs. Bake
visited at his old home in Norway, where
they spent about six weeks, the balance
of the time being used in going and

Sproat last Saturday evening, during

program have not been made public, be-
cause no ladies we're present at the

success by those who attended. A
sumptuous banquet, prepared by the
members of the party, was no small
part of the program. All spent a most
"dee-lightful" evening and give
"Charles" credit for being a frstclass
host and entertainer. William Kennedy
Jr. of South Heart and w. P. Darling of

turning from the services at the Metho-

home occupied by thirty of their friends
and neighbors. The i~ntruders, in pos
session of the home, were allowed per-
feet freedom and conducted affairs to
their own taste and to the entire salts
faction of the surprised couple. 1t is
needless to say that the evening was
delightfully."- passed. Rev. and Mrs
Gress were rendered a bundle shower
and a grist of useful articles was left
by their friends. The ladies did not
forget to bring bundles under each arm
and all did justice to the refreshments
served by the intruders, who, at a late
hour, surrendered their authority and
left for their respective homes, wishing
Rev. and Mrs. Gress many happy re.
turns of their celebrated birthday.
