CHRONICLE OF HAPPENINGS AMONGST
OUR NEIGHBORS.
MOUNT OLIVE.

AUUNI
Carroll Wood, who was taken to St.
Agnes Hospital four months ago TO
be treated for a fractured limb and
other injuries, Is getting along nicely
We expect to have him in our COM
munity again soon Our hearts go
out in sympathy to him who has lived
in our midst for these many years, and
Just as the season of flowers and sun
shine were coming, and he was look
ing forward with great expectation
to the raising of his crops, he should
be taken from us to spend the bright
summer months in a hospital. Yet
not our will, but Gods be done.
AS we listen to the mult1tudinous
voices which come from the trees,
fields, woodlands, meadows and other
places we should thing of, yea more
than that, even lift our hearts IN
prayer to the Omnipotent and Omn1s-
cient one, who gave us this beautiful
land of flowers and freedom, In be-
half of the ones who are less FORUM
ate, and filing our insane asylums,
our hospitals and our other institu-
tions We should and / hope do try
to rehabil.tAte happiness and health
itself. A somnambulist may walk
over precipices or into chasm, but
folks who are more wide-awake should
shun such places. Using the above as
an illustration in behalf Of people
who do things in this life that will
drag them down to a life Of debauch-
cry and crime, and finally will send
their souls to perditfon.
The petulant person, whether he be
male or female. never reaches the
high standard In life that each and
every individual should strive for
the christian life.
Sometimes people become rich IN
this life of worldly goods by the use
of stratagem. Take the bandit, for
instance, who is always lurking about
eIuding the detectives. They Will De
rewarded according to the deeds done
in the body. Let us long for the
coming of spiritual supremacy, and
hail it when it does come with rever-
berating voices.
Life is too short to idle away in
wrong-doing. Let all christians wake
up and be about their fathers busi-
ness. Then at the judgment bar we
shall hear our heavenly parent say
enter into everlasting rest
The Mt Olive Sunday school held
it's annual picnic last Saturday after
noon, which proved to be great sue
