He will play the part of Peter Piper" q doll who lives in "l once grand castle.'' which has fallen into such d diIapi- dated condition that it is known as "Racketty -Packetty House" He real ly has d grand high sounding name. but he has been called so many things and he is such d good fellow that he doesn't care anyway As he says, Who cares?

The Vanimans and their three help,

hanger for the trial preparatory to

a transatlantic flight, and for several
minutes the dirigible darted about ap,
parently in excellent condition and
with perfect control. The Vanimans
pointed its nose upwards and rose
upward until they were a half mile
above the earth. There they are
thought to have encountered a warm
air current which suddenly caused an
explosion in the big gas bag and the
frame work with the five men dashed
to earth enveloped in flames.
There was a wild rush of men to
their assistance, and women and
children screamed and tainted, but
the balloon fell far out on the water.
1t fell rapidly and it was long before
any one could reach the scene. The
bodies of Vaniman and his companion
had been submerged in an inlet about
one-half mile from the base ball park
The remainder of the bodies were
buried beneath the frame work which
fell on them.

preached on the subject of the Lords

he has recently preached from this
theme. Inc words particularly Sc
lected for this sermon We're from
Matthew 6:1O. THY Kingdom came,
Thy will be done in Earth, as it is in
Heaven" Quite a large audience was
present and the sermon was given
the closest attention.
On Sunday afternoon a baptismal
service was held for children and
young people and several received the
rite of baptism by sprinkling. On
Sunday evening the service of the
EpwOrth League and public service
were combined and both were held
at 1880 o'clock. Carl Woodland favor
ed the audience with fine violin solo
and Miss Bessie Moore gave her re-
port of the second half of the convea-
tion of Oskaloosa District Epworth
League, recently held at Brooklyn,
the report of the first half was given
on Sunday evening a week ago by
Miss Lottie Fansher. Both reports
were highly interesting and were the
means of giving the young people
quite an insight into the various
lines of work done by the church at
large. Special remarks were made
by DR.. McClelland regarding the OPP
portunities which are now opening
up Tor work in mission fields and the
great importance of the work done

Next Sunday is promotion day in
these grades. Mr.. Deadman, the pas
tor, spoke from John 1921, That they
may be one" This passage from the
Savior's prayer is perhaps more dis
cussed by his sincere. followers just
at this time than any other of his
many platitudes. 1t is a petition to
his father for the unity of all believ-
.ers. Mr.. Deadman stated that tho
thought expressed in his text was the

of people to which he belonged. He
gave an interesting account of its
growth in the last hundred years and
showed how divisions had enervated
and embarrassed church life and mis-
sionary effort. All of his sermons
bear strongly on the building up of a
wisely directed Christian conscience.
The lacn of unity helps to paralyze
the deepest and purest conservation

pei to those who know it not. One

lowship of the church. Miss Peckham
