Description OF Church.

The new church edfice is strictly
Gothic in every particular Of archi-

front through the main entrance, one
passes over seven stone steps, repre-
senting the seven gifts of the Holy
Ghost-wisaom, understanding, coun-
sci, knowledge, fortitude, piety and
the fear Of the Lord. On each side
of the front Of the building are two
Gothic towers of brick and gray
sandstone. with wooden spires.
Over the large door facing the out
side, and supported by stone columns.
one on each side Of the main en-
trance, is a triple window represent
ing the Holy Trinity.
There is also a depressed Gothic
arch over the main entrance upon
which rests the triple window design,
emblematical of the Trinity.
AS one gets inside of the church,
upon the left is the baptismal font
stand, reminding you of the first sac
rament you receive upon entering the
church. On the right is the confess
sional, another important place, re-
minding you of the seven sacraments
baptism, confirmation, eucharist,
penance. extreme JUNCTION, holy or
ders and matrimony.
In each transept gable end, on each
side of the Building are two with
windows. representing the great east
and the great west, the rising and
setting sun. Also emblematical of
death and resurrection.

terror forming the sanctuary is semi
Octagon in shape, representing in de-
sign the head of the cross. The tran

arms Of the cross, and the arms of
the Saviour. the front of the edifice
forming a design representing the
foot of the cross. the body Of the
church representing the body of the

After several weeks illness Mary M.
Willets passed away at the home OF
Freeman Kilbourne, July l, 1909.
She was born in Washtenaw county,
Michigan, February Z, 1910, coming
with her parents TO Otisco, Ionia
county, at al early age. After the
death of her parents she passed the
most of her life slbubd Smyrna aud
Greenville. She leaves one sister, the
last of the family TO grieve her depart
ure, also one neice and three nephews
and other near and dear friends.
The funeral was held from the home
of Mr.. Kilbourne Saturday afternoon

very appropriate selections.
Sometime, we shall know why
Our sunniest mornings change To Moons
of rain;
AHu our SlepS are sllduONeu 50 ny
pain.
And why we often lie
On couches sown with thorns of care
and doubt;
And why our lives are thickly hedg-
eel about
With bars that put our loftiest plans
TO rout.
Sometime our eyes shall see
The silver lining To the darkest cloud,
While silvery echoes follow thunders
loud.
Sometime our hearts shall be
Content, forgetting all our restless
mood,
And knowing everything has work
ed for good
The How and when and why be
understood.

ONLY ONE JUSTICE
Fisher Failed to Qualify for position
Leaving Lapham the Field

With the stroke of twelve last Satur-
day night the title of justice of the
peace which George w. Moulton has
worn with so much distinction for 10
these many years, fell from his shoul-
ders and George became a common cit
izen, unincumbered by any emoluments
of office. His last official act was to
speak the words which joined in we'd
lock Frank Chrysler and Miss Hazel
Orser.
William +. Fisher, who received
such large majority at the last elec-
ton for that office, concluded that he
did not have the time to look after the
justice end of the business and failed to
qualify This leaves Belding with
only one justice to administer the same
to those who may come within the
pale Of the law. Justice f.. B. Lapham
however, is still at the old stand ready
to hand out mercy TO whom mercy is
due and justice to those TO whom justice
is due.

Twen.y-three Cans of Fish

The morning train from Grand Rap
ids last Saturday had along a fish car
from the State Fish Hatchery of Grand
Rapids and left at the station twenty
three cans containing black bass
spawn of the large mouth variety
which were taken in charge by w. p.
Hetherington and several others for dis
tribution in the nearby lakes of this
vicinity. This custom has been follow
ed every year for the past few years and
our sportsmen are reaping the result as
is quite evident from the fine strings of
fish brought in every few days.
The state fish hatcheries are doing
a good work in the fish propagation and
why not have game hatcheries to re-
plenish the woods and fields with
game birds so much sought for by the
local sportsmen?

Dan thinner going around Tuesday

whom he had written during the last
week of June. There were forty-four
new policies i'm the bunch each of
them representing stable protection
To the people young and old, on whom
they were written, and each one speaks
plainly of the appreciation of our peo-
pie of a means of caring for the un-

living with her parents until July 3rd,
1865, when she was united i'm marriage
with Emilus +. Wellman at Ionia,
Mich. After three short years of we'd
ded life the husband was called home
in death leaving wife and little
daughter, Edith, TO mourn their loss.
Edith was constant companion and
comfort TO her mother until eighteen
years of age when she too was sudden
ly called To join her father leaving her
mother to go through the battles OF
life alone, which she has bravely done
for the past twenty-four years, and

Squelched Again.

The Belding baseball team went To
Lowell, Saturday TO play ball in the
tournament advertised To take place
during the celebration held in that city
and while they went with blood in
their eyes, they came back as meek
as Moses. Hughie Stringham of the
Banner, force handled the big mitt in
front of Marshall Pichard but the COM
bination proved an easy thing for the
Ionia Bunch and they fell on our bunch
like hail on "A farmers garden, complete
ly routed them. When the score was
counted up il was found that lonia had
IL good ones laid away while nest
of goose eggs was the only thing for our
boys To bring home.
The sooner the Belding team realizes
that they cannot play ball without oc-
casional pratice at least, the better it
will be for the once good record of our
city players. Some one remarked the
other day that if Belding should hap
pen TO win game it would probably
give ii back as ii would be great a
surprise TO them. Get busy boys, and
see if you can't back some of your old
time honors.
