Christian Church.

The Bible school numbered little
less than three hundred and its offer
ing was generous. The business
mer's class was especially large and
they are generous givers. This class
took the initiative in raising fund OF
sore soventy-fye dollars to defray the
expenses OF their teacher, Rev. S. H.
Zendt, to the great Pittsburg gather
Ing which convenes in that city Oct.
IL to 10. This church and county will
be represented by some eight or ten
delegates. The citizens of Pittsburg
have prepared to entertain $4,000 Wis
1tors. 1t will be an historic meeting
in the history of the church.
The morning sermon was on the
plea of the Christian Church All
the songs and the services throughout
were selected to fit this great centen-
NAL gathering. The choir sang the
Centennial hymn, "Ye People Of Hun
dred Years." composed for this cen
tennial occasion. Their rendition was
more than usually vigorous and inspir-
ing. Rev. Zendt showed that the
Christian church had no excuse for an
existence unless it has distinct plea
OF its own. That plea is briefly, Civ
ing Bible answers to Bible questions,
calling Bible things by Bible names,
and the fervent plea for the unity OF
all who have faith in Christ and love
and obey Him. This with worldwide
evangelism will win the world to Jesus
Christ. The untaught millions of the
human race will never fully answer to
the call Of a divided church such as eX,
lists among Gods people today. From
the Ecathen field the call is coming
loudly for a united church. The re-
ligiOn of Jesus is shorn of much of its
power because churches cannot work
side by side on the mission fields
The apostolic church contained Jews
and .ientileS. slave and master, all on
the same level OF Christian fellowship
With all our Christian unity we are di
vided still and we have yet to learn
that this division among Christian peo
pie is very hurtful to the real pro,
grcss OF Christ's gospel, and should
not exist. One young man was reCeiv
ed into the church by statement.

OSKALOOSA HOSPITAL
Date For Annual Tag Day Fixed
For Saturday November 20.

At meeting of the Oskaloosa Hos
ing the date for the annual tag day
for the Hospital was fixed for Satur-
day, November 20. The cold weather
has emphasized the need of storm
windows at the Hospital. Mr.. Kali
bach, who had investigated the mat
ter, reported that there were twenty
five windows on the north and west
sides of the building, all of which
should have the protection. The
storm windows will cost about $500
aDiece. If any friend of the hospital
would like to pay tor one or more OF
these windows the management will
appreciate the gift.

BABIES.
Babies are raised in all parts of TIN
country except Ncwp"t and Fiftl
avenue. They furnish one of the b S
Illustrations of the prodigality of ma
turr, for it is necessary to produce Il

Babies are us d for va ious pur,
poses. They furnish basis for the
blanket industry and keep two people
living together who would otherwis,
not be compatible. They e TIC trou

casions been known to turn night

masses, they ar treated witt ind fl r.

Babies are divided, roughly speak
inr, into the following classes:-
The Homrly ] ab, This species
exists in the families of all other
p 'ople.
The Good Bahy.-This species is
common to ones own family.
The First Baby.-This sp cies lives
with the parents and sometimes sur
wives their mistakes.
The Lovely Baby.-Exists only in
the conversation of women.
WIDOWS.
In one sense widows aie the bull
wark of the nation, because each year
they make possible 50 many marriages.
They are not indigenous to any one
locality, but may be obs, rived in all
W II populated districts.
Widows may be with or Without
with children they help to make life
more interesting; without children
they can cover more territory and are
therefore more dang rous.
They serve useful purpose in
keeping the number of our bachelors
duced to a minimum.
Owing to specialists, health cures
and systems of eating food the num-
err of widows is constantly on the in
crease. On other ha d, they
themselves do the best they can to
keep their own number down.
