sermon
Delivered To Graduates OF
Brink Haven High School

Brink Haven, o., April 23-The
baccalaureate sermon before the
graduating class of the high school
was delivered Sunday evening, at
1880 in the Christian church by Rev.
j. III. Helm of Howard. Long before
the time for the services to begin
the house was filled to over-fiowing
by the patrons and friends of the
school. At 1880 the class marched
down the aisle, led by Prof. Colgin,
and were seated on the left of the
platform. The choir, made up of the
select singers of the town rendered
some very fine music. The sermon
delivered by Rev. Helm was pro-
nounced by the large audience who
heard it to have been one of the fin
est ever heard here.
The speaker took for subject: "The
Victory of Life" and handled 1t in a
very delightful way, showing all
could be victors, but If we cultivate
the lower side of life, we must meet
death. He wove into the story many
touching and beautiful examples of
men, who were surrounded by all
kinds of difficulties, but they were
determined to overcome, and each
one was crowned victor. The SER
vice was pronounced to have been
one of the very best ever had here

The first definite step toward Sc
turing safety gates at the Il. & o.
crossings on Chestnut, High, Vine
and Gambler streets was taken by
city council at the regular meeting
of that body held Monday evening
All were present except Mr. Weaver
who is i'll. A committee Of three was
appointed to cooperate with the
clerk, the solicitor and director of
safety. This action was promoted by
= petition signed by large number
Of residents of the Second and Fourth
wards asking that council do some
thing to secure the gates at the above
named street crossings. Messrs. Cole,
Dubinsky and Farrison were appoint
ed on the special committee to act
tn the matter. The committee or a
representative will be sent TO CoIum-
sus to confer with the state railroad
commission.
Another matter taken up Monday
evening to insure the safety of the
public was that of the swinging
bridge across the Kokosing river at
Me foot of South Jackson street. It
was decided to tear the structure
down as 1t Is dangerous and there
seems to me some question. on the
part Of the city. whether or not 1t
can legally repair the bridge. II is

sil has no jurisdiction there On the
other hand the county is supplied
with a bridge fund, but not a foot
