WEDDING.

A very quiet wedding was solemn
lied at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Webb, when their youngest
son Clyde was united in marriage to
Miss Hazel Marsh. Only the i'm
mediate friends and relatives were
present. After the ceremony a
sumptuous four-course dinner was
served, after which the happy couple
boarded an Ann Arbor train south
mid showers of rice and old shoes, to
visit relatives in southern Michigan
and Ohio. Miss Marsh was a popular
young lady of st. Louis, and Mr..
Webb prosperous young farmer of
Arcadia. Their many friends wish
them long life and happiness. They
will be at home after October on the

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE At OPERA fAI5t6S{
By Virgil o. Stricker, C. ST. Member of the Board of
Lectureshp, First Church of Christ Scients Boston

Last Friday evening large aud
fence was present at the city Opera
House to listen to an address on
Christian Science delivered by Virgil
o. Stricken, c. S., Member Of the
Board of Lectureship Of the First
Church Of Christ, Scientist, in Boston,
Mass. Mr.. J. II. Thaw introduced the
speaker, saying:
"When Jesus stood before the
Roman Governor in the judgment
hall at Jerusalem, and the latter pro-
pounded the most momentous ques-
tion ever asked, "What is truth ?" it
is not recorded that Jesus made any
reply, evidently implying by his sill
ence that his teachings and works
were a sufficient answer to Plate. Dur
ing his ministry, however, he promis-
ed that those who believed in him
should know the truth and the truth
would set thine free. This age has
been blest with a fulfillment of that
promise in the discovery by a divinely
inspired, spiritually minded woman,
Of the unchanging, unvarying, demon
strable Principle of all truth, which is
today blessing mankind the world
over, reforming the sinner and heal
ing the sick. You have been invited
here tonight to hear some of the
reasons for this assertion by one duly
authorized and fully equipped to give
them. | have the pleasure of intro
ducing Mr.. Virgil o. Strickler, of New
York, a member of the Board of Lee
tureship of the First Church of Christ
Scientist, in Boston, Mass, who will
now address you"
Mr.. Strickler said in part:
at is undeniable that Christian
Science has healed many sick people
and has brought about the regenera-
tion of many who were the victims of
sin. Among its membership are
those who have been healed of intem-
perance, of so-called chronic and or
ganic diseases, as we'll as of maladies
that were acute or functional. 1t has
healed others of sorrow, fear, unhap-
piness and similar diseased mental
that often cause more suf-
fering and distress than physical dis
orders.
In every case of Christian Science

FRESHMEN VICTORIOUS
Soph-Fresh Rush Lasts Only Two
Minutes and Forty Seconds

The Sophomore 2 a g
Rush lasted only two minutes and for
ty seconds Wednesday morning, when
the Almighty Sophs were hurled to
the ground in disgrace after a plucky
one-sided battle. The Sophs were out
numbered by the Freshmen and so
tried strategy, and failed. The Fresh
men unearthed a box of batteries and
an induction coil, which was wired to
the pole, generating enough current
TO make the fellows let loose of the
pole, but not enough to do any injury.
The Sophs retaliated this by kidnapping
the Fresh president and carrying him
to Mt. Pleasant by machine and keep
ing him until after the rush was over
Wednesday morning. The Fresh and
Sophs both tried many pranks and
tricks and some worked on each side.
The Sophs made brave fight around
the pole but were overpowered and the
colors were hauled down. Now that
the class superior is decided in favor
Of the Freshmen, harmony will exist
and all will work toward common ends
as is always the way in Alma College.
New fire escapes are being put on
the administration building of the
College.

JOHN DUNHAN SR.
Died at the Home of His
Daughter, Mrs. H. J. Hyde
SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 1874
Funeral Services Held Tuesday
Masonic Burial Service

John Dunham, Sr., aged "a, for
many years a highly respected citizen
of this city, the oldest citizen of the
county and the oldest Mason in the
county, if not in the state, died sud-
denly last Sunday morning at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. II. j.
Hyde, three miles west of Alma.
Mr.. Dunham was a resident of AL
ma for nearly thirty years, and dur
ing that time held office for about
twenty years, serving Alma both as a
councilman and as a justice of the
peace, retiring ten years ago, when
Alma was incorporated as a city. His
years spent in justice court were
marked by deliberation and clear
ness that made him we'll remembered
by all who came in contact with him.
Patient, sincere and sympathetic he
assisted the weak, rebuked the offend
er and impressed all who knew him
with his strength of character and
justice. Such qualities gave rare dig
nifty to a justice court and Alma con-
sidered herself fortunate in having
such man as a justice.
Before locating in Alma Mr.. Dun
ham also was justice for many years
at Both Hartland and Highland, Mich
igan, serving the public upwards of
fifty years in all.
Since the loss of his wife nine years
ago Mr.. Dunham has led a quiet life,
making his home with his children.
John Dunham was born in Pleasant
Lake, n. Y, August 6, 1920, and in
that state spent his early years. Re-
moving to Michigan with his parents,
while still boy, he had seen Michigan
transformed from a veritable wilder
ness to a fiourishing state of large
cities and prosperous farms. Mr..
Dunham was located at Detroit, then
Hartland and Highland before COM
ing to Alma and at each of the latter
two places served as a justice of the
peace for years, probably spending
fifty years of long life in this one Of
flee in Hartland, Highland and Alma.
Mr.. Durham was the father of nine
children, two of whom died in infancy
John, Estella, Eva, Kittie, the late
Judge Harrison NJ. of this city; Ma
jor L. of Grand Rapids, and Mrs. II.
j. Hyde, living three miles west of
Alma. The last two are the only sur
vivors. Many grand and great grand
children are living.
The funeral was held Tuesday af-
ternoon at the residence of Mrs. II. j.
Hyde, three miles west of Alma, Rev.
Priest, officiating. Masonic services
were held at Riverside cemetery where
he was laid to rest beside the body of
his wife.

George H. Swift, the architect in that

ed to make the handling of automo-

the iron truss that holds the roof by
pulley, to work on in repairing and do
away with crawling under a car on

There is no question but what the
automobile is here to stay and the use

NOVEL entertainment
$4,000 Five Reel Film Sensation
to be Presented Oct. 2.

1t took many months and more than
$4,000 to originate and initially pro-
duce "From Molten Steel to Automo-
bile," the wonderful motion picture
sensation put out by the Maxwell Mo-
tor Co., Inc, Detroit, Mich, and to be
seen here at the Alma Vaudette, AL
ma, Mich, October 2, 1914. Free tick
cts of admission may be had by apply
ing to Frank M. Smith, the local Max
well dealer.
The pictures are novel, thrilling and
highly educational. A wide range of
territory was covered in getting the
various scenes; but those depicting
the making of the famous Maxwell
"25" car will be undoubtedly most ad-
mired, for they add interest to the car
that is so widely and favorably known.
Realism, variety, scenic splendor and
heart interest are fascinatingly COM
bined with the more commercial
phases of the business. Every per-
son having the least interest in auto
mobiles should attend.

The GIDEON BAND
Conducted Services in the III. E.
Church Sunday Evening

Most inspiring services were held
at the Methodist Church Sunday
morning and evening when nationally
prominent members of the Gideon
Band conducted meetings in behalf of
that religious organization. In the
morning the principal speakers were
Colenel Cowden, "Cornstarch Jim" of
South Bend, Martin and l.. d. Jones,
of st. Joseph, Mich, and in the even
ing the two latter. Each of them
told of their personal experien;
ces in religious matters, and of their
work with the Gideon Band. This or
ganization, composed entirely of
men, is seeking to get Ia touch with
travelling men and women and in
fluence their lives for good. One of
the means which they use is the gift
of the Bible. These they place in all
the hotel rooms for free use. The
members of the Gideon Band have
placed almost countless numbers of
the Book in the hands of the travelling
public in this way. A collection for
the wonderful work was taken, and
interest in it was at the highest pitch.
Several present at the evening meet
ing were led to Christ "Cornstarch
Jim" Martin was so named because he
is sales manager of one Of the biggest
wholesale grocery houses in the
country, located at Elkhart, Indiana.
A beautiful anthem was sung by the
choir In the afternoon at three
o'clock a special service was held in
the Presbyterian Church with about
thirty present. Fifty-fve Bibles will
be placed in the two hotels in the
city.

chronic or acute, physical or mental,
the cure was brought about without
the use of hypnotism, mental sugges-
tion, drugs or any material means,
and entirely through the application
of the spiritual teachings of Christian
Science.
The healing of the sick, however, is
not the primary purpose of Christian
Science. According to the teachings
of this Science all sickness and disease
result from error and false belief,
which are summarized as sin, and
when the error of belief is destroyed
by the truth which Christian Science
imparts, the disease disappears.
Christian Science, therefore, teaches
that the cause of all disease and sin
is mental, and not physical, and that
both sin and disease may be cured by
one and the same metaphysical pro-
cess, namely by the substitution of
spiritual truth in place of error and
false belief in the human conscious
ness.
"Ye Shall Know the Truth and the
Truth Shall Make You Free"
1t is recorded in the 8th Chapter of
the Gospel of John that upon one occa-
sion when Jesus was being harassed
by the lawyers and theologians, who
were plying him with questions and
seeking to entrap him by his answers,
he turned to a group of his followers,
who were standing near, and said to
them, "Ye shall know the truth and
the truth shall make you free" In all
of the Bible there is no statement of
greater Importance to mankind than
this utterance of the Master. 1t pre-
scribes the remedy for every human
i'll. knowledge of a thing must come
through the mental and not through
the physical, hence, according to the
words Of Jesus, mankind will be de-
livered from sin, disease and death
not by doctoring the physical, but by
filling the mental with truth. If this
statement of Jesus was true it follows
by irresistible logic that the enslaving
conditions from which humanity suf-
fers must be due to the belief of
something which is not true. In other
words, if the time is ever to come, as

AUTOMOBILE DAMAGED
B. G. Atherton Nearly Loses His
Machine by Fire.

A Buick, Model "F," automobile be-
longing to B. G. Atherton, who is run
ming the dredge six miles south of the
city, caught fire Saturday evening at
eight o'clock in front of Mrs. Gaff-
ney's store and created quite a stir
for few minutes. Gasoline leaking
from the tank of the car flowed down
the gutter and suddenly ignited, set
ting fire to the car at the same time.
Hasty work on the part'of Lawrence
Ellison who used a fire extinguisher
saved the car. That the fire did not
result most seriously was only provi-
Dental, for as soon as the car was
burning a small crowd gatherd around
regardless of the danger of explosion.
Such teedlessness might have resulted
fatally.
