The daily sentinel., 1914-05-28

Rev. Weir. pastor of the Presbyte-
rian church, took for his text one
Sunday morning a short time ago
the following: Phil. iv, l3: Il can
do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me-" and he said: ~
wish | might have this text hanging
Just over the altar" Sunday morn
ing, May "a, as he entered the church
this is what greeted his eye: there,
suspended just over the altar in
beautiful gold letters against sill
yer background was his text. Can
you imagine his joy and appreciation
of this beautiful courtesy? Who did
it2 Who but the ever kind and gen
erous-hearted Adeline Sperry would
have thought of it?
The Ladies' Aid of the NJ. e.
church will meet at the church this
afternoon, where a program will be
rendered, after which they will serve
a lO-cent tea.
Mr.. and Mrs. e. S. Galloway and
daughter Josephine left Wednesday
for Mr.. Marchant's. where they will
stop for the present. Later in the
summer they expect to go to Cali
fornia, where he has accepted a po-
sition. We regret very much to
lose Mr.. and Mrs. Galloway, as they
have always taken a deep interest
in the social welfare OF the commu-
nifty; in fact, our Community Life
club owes its origin to Mr. Galloway
You have heard of people having
their ardor dampened,. haven't you?
Well let me tell you what happened
to the ardor of the Village Skewl,
which was given in the Junction Fri
day evening for the benefit of the
Midland Trail fund Friday after
noon about 1870 O'Clock there came
a gale SO terrific that it blew it to
the ground with a force that bursted
It wide open, blew it full of dirt,
then rained on it. At 6:15 the
storm having abated, eight machines
lined up, chugging and nervous, as if
anxious to enter the fray, and we
started for the Junction. Skidding
from side to side until it became
dangerous we stopped. put on the
chains, and again faced the battle.
The next difficulty we encountered
was large tree which had been

removed before we could proceed as
there was not room to go round,
Prof. Wilkins" and the heroic
skewl boys succeeded in clearing the
way and on we went Suddenly one
of the operators got into a contro-
versy with the machine he was driv-
ing which resulted in a disagreement
the machine would not concede to
the operators demands, so she went
on strike. Her passengers being
transferred to the other cars, we
again proceeded and again 'encoun-
tered tree across the road, the pro-
portions of which were beyond our
power to remove. Fortunately there
was narrow space between the tree
top and the wire fence. This space
consisted of a big ditch. Nothing
daunted, we started through: it ne
cessitated sort of curve" drive
with quick action on the part of the
driver to get down into the ditch
swing round the tree-top and out
again. | don't know if the machine
had curve in 1t when we went
through there or not. but our driver
sure got curve on him. All but
one succeeded in making the curve
and he stuck at the foot of the
bank. When the "skewl children"
had to pile out in the mud and push
the car out. Finally we reached the
junction in a downpour of rain with
out our ardor, chilled to the bone. |
guess they couldn't find the opera
house. for they took US to a barn
Just across the street from the Elk's
club, where there was some opera
house furniture stored. The ends of
the barn had elevated floors; the
'front.' end had been used for a corn
CRIB and there was hay NOV above. |
