Sunday School Convention.

The Sunday School convention held
at the First Baptist Chliach OF this city
on Tuesday afternoon ard tVening was
very successful affair although tho
attendance was not as large as had been
hoped for. Interesting and valuable
thoughts were advanced for the attain
ment of better results along the line ol
practical Sunday School work.
The meeting of the afternoon was
called to order by Rev. A. J. Ashdown,
president of the Ionia county associa.
ton, and was opened with song and
devotional exercises in charge Of Rev.

pleasing solo and Miss Flossie Spicer q

ment.
rhe Round Table in charge Of Fred
A. Washb burn was perhaps the most
helpful feature of tie afternoon, as il
brought out many of the knotty prob
lens confronting the Sunday School
worker, and Mr.. Washburn gave some
most helpful answers TO the questions
under discussion. The address by Rev.
+. l.. Branch was also especially good
and deserved much larger audience.
The following was suggested as a
good motto for all Of the schools:
"Good, better, best.
Never let il rest,
Until the good is better,
And the better best.
The afternoon session closed with n
song and the benediction by Rev. Edrie
Collins.
In the evening Rev. +. B. Irving

along the line of township organization
and greater interest and efficiency in

Relation of Church and State

Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Schrembs
speaking with characteristic force
and eloquence, recently in Grand
Rapids defined the relations OF
church and state. His subject was
The Catholic Church and Civil Lib
erty,' and the occasion was the
fourth lecture in the series being
given at the ST. Cecilia auditorium
unPer the auspices of the Catholic
Central High schools.
Bishop Schrembs emphasized the
fact that the Catholic church does
not hamper nor interfere with the
civil liberty OF its communicates. In
doing so he traced the influence of
the church upon civil liberty from
the earliest days to the present, quot
ing Roman, European and American
history In support of his position.
He said in part:
The church speaking through it's
highest authority, positively disclaims
all right to interfere with civil gov
ernments acting in their proper
sphere and 1t has always followed
out this principle in practice.
Bishop Schrembs pointed out that
American history is filled with ac-
counts OF deeds of Catholics.
When our land was threatened
with destruction, when Lincoln's call
went through the land for patriots,
what was the response of the Catho-
lies? Go to the Catholic cemeteries
of this country and on the white
crosses you will read the names of
Gems. Shields, Meager, Mulligan
Meade, Rosencrans, Phil Sheridan,
William Sherman and thousands of
others whose very ashes give the lie
to those who would accuse the Cath
Ollie church OF being an enemy to our
institutions. Catholic blood has
helped TO build: Catholic blood has
helped to cement. The church an
enemy TO civil liberty? The church
a menace to civil glorious institu-
tions? Eternal shame on the man
whose lying lips give utterance TO
this historic calumny."

Hon. Willis +. Bricker Gets il For
Good Work In Legislature

The reporter for the Grand Rap
ids Herald in giving a write-up oil
several members OF the legislature
who made good, has this to say OF
Hon. w. +. Bricker under the head
ing, "A Democrat Winner"
"One democrat on the floor of the
house especially became leader and
was well liked by the members OF
both parties. This man was Repre-
sentative Bricker of Belding. Mr..
Bricker Is a democrat coming from a
republican district. 1t was his first
term except for one he served away
back. Representative Farmer was
looked to as the leader of the demo-
cratic forces, but before the session
was far along, Representative Brick
er had become the man who had
really to fight the democratic battles.
He is a fine speaker, with a big voice
and easy delivery, and is moreover
a man of logic who soon compelled
attention. His last act was to make
himself solid with the members OF
both parties when he rose and on
behalf of the minority party thanked
Representative Baker, speaker pro
tenn, for his fairness in dealing with
lhc HllilOiiIy pally anu iOl LIS ldii :
ness in presiding. His speech was
clean cut and earnest and he made
more friends from both sides of the
house.
Mr.. Bricker also received many
compliments from members of the
house and senate and as he, with 9TH
er members was about to leave for
home, after the final adjournment,
Governor Osborn shook his hand
warmly and congratulated him es
pecially on his good work and watch

City Must Have Larger Supply
to Meet Demand
NOTENOUGH WELLSNOW
Gardner & Son Have Contracts From
Water Board For Several More
Other City Improvements

The experience the city had last sum
mer during few weeks of dry weather
on account of shortage of water supply
from the water works has caused the
water board to endeavor the coming
season to obiviate the difficulty.
They have contracted TO have from
three TO five more wells put down.
Messrs Gardner & Son former contract.
ors are already on the job and will soon
be driving for more water.
The present supply is adequate fol
ordinary purposes but the number OF
water takers is on the increase and
with the present outlook for more new
dwellings which will be built this
season, and the possibility of continued
spells of dry weather occasionally
during the dry season for lawn sprink-
ling, il was considered best TO have an
abundant supply.
Another improvement which the city
council will look after this summer is
that of try ing out the new process of
street making with the oil sprinkling
system.
1t is claimed by an expert who has
been here To sell street oil that ii not
only lays the dust, but that after sew
eral applications it hardens with the
dirt into substance somewhat like as
phalt and makes fine surface.
A large quantity OF the oil has been
purchased and trial will he made.
.t'~c-ks, the street paving question
will have been settled.

GreenvilIe Lost School Building

Fire broke out in the large union
school building in Grcenyille Sunday
night and the old part was totally de-
stroyed, but portion of the new build
ing built three years ago was saved SO
that four rooms can soon be occupied.
There had been no fire in the furnace
since the day before and it is thought
defective wiring was the cause.
The building was insured for $4,000
and contents $1,000. The reflection
from the fire was plainly seen in

Growing Better All
TheTime

That Governor Chase S. Osborn will
be candidate to succeed himself in 1912
seems to be an. assured fact. He has
made good and still continues to grow
in favor.
The following dispatch comes from
Lansing: "Eor the last two months it
has been practically an assured fact
that Governor Osborn will accept the
nomination of the Republican party
neN year. lie has been pressed several
times by friends and by others rs to his
intention and to all has given the same
reply
"l meant just what ! said when |
gave ont statement that | will not be
Il candidate for the nomination next
year. If, however, there should be a
general demand on the part of the
Republicans of Michigan that 1 should
run, / may say | would consent.

come from such demand and the de-
mand must not be stimulated by my
friends, will not make campaign
such as / made last year. | will not
offer myself as candidate. will ac-
cept the nomination ifit comes volunta-
riiy and il | accept it | will make a
campaign for the election with all the
force at my command."
Several other prospective candidates
have been in TO talk with the governor
10 discover his intentions if possible.
Witt. the possible exception of Martin
dale they have expressed themselves as
not being candidates if Osborn will be.
Patrick IL. Kelly, who has still ambi-
tions 10 be governor, has said very
frankly that Governor Osborn is enti-
tied to second term if he wants it and
he would not butt into the game if
Osborn will run. Around the capitol
it was quite generally known that asort
of tacit understanding exists that if
Osborn will accept a denomination he
will not be opposed =

up to twenty miles.

At that distance he ceased to per
spire and went into the dressing room
for heavy sweater. This did not
help him out any, and at the end of
another mile he went into his room for
a rundown, while the old Hawaiian
kept steadily plugging away and gain
ed two laps back by the time King
came out again..
Another time the soldier tried out,
but he was in no condition to run and
mad to retire from the track, while
kaoo kept on and diminished the lead
ana then kept forging ahead
Steadily Kaoo went along, the little
Chinese, Charlie, also coming in be-
hind regularly ana doing nineteen miles
before he quit
Charlie deserves Il lot of credit for
the race he ran, and there should be
some provision for a purse for him. ..
King Done.
When King came out again he was
willing to quit, as Kaoo had nearly
finished the distance, but the condi-
tons of the race We're that man to
win second place must finish the whole
distance and so King went out on the
track and started up again.
He had to walk a short distance and
continued so until Charlie had quit at
miles. Even then King kept
steadily going to finish the whole dis
tance and was about two miles from
the finish when Kaoo came out and
saw himson the track
kaoo Satisfied.
