road builder as he hung up the gourd
on the well sweep again, don't you

WILEY MADE GOOD
Provided Feast for Bethel
Sunday School for Record
Breaking Attendance.
PLENTY TO EAT ON HAND.

Bethel, Ind. Sept. 10.-For some
time past, C. E. Wiley, superintend-
ent of the Sunday school has had an
ambition to raise the attendance OF
the school to 100 or more. Recently
Bro. Wiley promised the school that
if the desired attendance was secured
he would give a festival and that he
would pay all the expense connected
Herewith. Sunday, August 2, was
made a red letter day and by the unit
ed efforts of those interested in the
Sunday school the attendance on this
day was 124, the largest in the his
tory of the Bethel Sunday school. 1t
then remained for Supt. Wiley to
make good his promise, and Satur-
day evening, Sept. 5, was selected as
the date for the festival, which was
held on the lawn at his home.
Watermelon, ice cream, cake and
lemonade were served to about $50
guests. 1t was an occasion long to be
remembered and the Sunday school in
extending to Supt. Wiley a vote OF
thanks for his hospitality reflected the
sentiment of everyone present.
