An Explanation.
An explanation of the wherefore
of the sunbeam stamp is given below
by Mrs. Mabel G. Mead, superintend-
ent, and Kate P. Weight, assistant
superintendent of the sunbeam class:
1.-THE proverbial kindness of Homo
lulu people is shown by the manner in
which they have responded when ask
ed to buy sunbeam stamps, and so help
endow bed in the children s hospital
1t seems that every one wants to be
kind to helpless children, and that they
have learned what one sunbeam class

still sobbing, after a much needed
spanking, My Sunday school teacher
says we must be kind
''The sunbeam class babies say so
many interesting things:
"After a lesson about their souls
and bodies, illustrated by Gagged bird,
a small girl was asked if she could
remember any of the story, sOh, yes.
The lesson was that, God made the
bird and Jesus Christ made the cage
"Another small maiden who has
played with Sanford Moses, son of
Commander Moses, went home and re-
ported the story of Moses in the bull
rushes, but to her mind, it was none
other than Sanford Moses who had
rested in the tiny basket, and had been
so strangely restored to his mother.

of the class one Sunday and announced
that he would like a cookie, and an

than someone s small, worn leather ac-

A synagogue for the Jewish people
of Hammond is a possibility which
NAV materialize in a year or two ac-
cording to plans which were proposed
yesterday at a meeting of the Jewish
people.
At the meeting yesterday it was de-
cided to sell the story and a half frame
house at 221 Indiana avenue, which
stands on a ffty-foot lot in order TO
have this property vacated and ready
when building operations are to begin.
1t has not yet been decided just how
much money is to be spent on the
synagogue. this being matter for fu-
ture decision. And while the congre-
CATION holds the Indiana street prop

location.
1t has been the aim of the Jewish
people for a number of years to event

ship. and the project is given new life,
especially in this time of celebration
when they observe their New Year.
