October Finds Macy's i'm Complete Readiness

Again Open
to Traffic at
34th and 35th
Streets

You may now drive
your motor to any Of the
entrances to Macy's. or
alight from the surface
cars in front Of the store
at 34th Street.
The temporary ban on
traffic is lifted, but we
are glad in one way of
the incident.
Nothing could have
shown more clearly the
accessibility of our loca-
ton nothing could
have proven better the
wisdom of Macy's pio-
neer move to Broadway
and 34th Street.
Herald Square cannot be
isolated. So many trans
portation lines converge
at Broadway and saith
Street that nothing short
of absolute cessation of
traffic in New York
could possibly close all
the roads that lead to
Herald Square - and
Macy's.
The convenience Of thisun
usual accessibility of Macy's
was never more appreciated
than in the week Just past.

The community was shocked yes

j. O'Connor, for twelve years a res
ident physician of Williams, had been
fatally injured Sunday afternoon
in an automobile accident and pass
ed away that night at about 9 o'clock
at Mercy hospital in this city.
DR.. O'Connor was returning from
a call about 8 o'clock and was about
a half mile north of Williams when
the accident occurred. The steer
ing gear of the Ford roadster which
he drove was bent and it is not
known here whether this broke and
caused the car to turn turtle or not
but shat is the s1pposition.
The physician was struck by the
car as it turned over into the ditch
and the walls of the chest were
crushed. He was found by the side
of his wrecked car probably about
five minutes after the accident oc-
cured by Claude Adams, a farmer
living south of Williams who was
returning to his home.

F. ELIAS SMITH DIES
IN CALIFORNIA
Passed Away at Oakland Four Days
After Arriving There From
This City.

Attorney |. J. Sayrs received a
letter yesterday from F. A. Smith
of Oakland, California, containing
the news of the sudden death of the
latter's father, F. Elias Smith, who
died June 2nd, four days after he
had arrived there from this city, Of
heart trouble. The deceased was in
the best of spirits upon his arrival
in California and his sudden taking
off was unexpected by his family.
Mr.. Smith had been failing in health
during the past few years and had
su ffered two or three serious spells
caused from heart ailments. The
many friends of the family in this
city will be sorry to hear of his
death.
Mr.. Smith was 6S or 60 years of
age. He came to Webster City in the
spring of 1898 and engaged in the
life insurance business. Since that
time he has been among the well
known business men of this place.
Later he gave up life insurance and
went into the real estate business,
still later going into the manufact-
uring of bill and letter files, having
secured patent upon one of his files
which was a comparatively good sell
Ter.
Mr.. Smith is survived by his wife
and three or four children. The
youngest son is dead and buried at
Los Angeles, California, and the
body of the father will no doubt be
laid to rest beside the son. Mrs.
Smith will probably make her home
at Oakland with the son who resides
there.

bracing pity and sorrow of the worl
oppressed him. But he was victir
of profound and hideous error for h
held that the only hope Of human
ity was the hope of extinction. Al
idea that was wrong and ended in
paralysis of pessimism.
Love reveals the worth of the lif
here and glorities each passing day
but glorifes all with a life tina
can endless be-this is Christ's plan
Always with Christ it is different
OF Christ's moral triumph-think o.
Him along by the side of Moses, the
noble, the heroic! How much deeper
and sweeter is the moral life in
Jesus. He is the sovereign wonder OF
sin-bespattered world. So bereft OF
terror, so gracious, so free! What
pity there was in the morality of
Jesus! The strongest, whitest soul
that the world has ever known was
the least relentless. He was the last
to give up hope. His sweetness
haunts even those who would deny
Him.
What is it in the intellect of Jesus
that was so unique? Socrates and
Christ are worlds and worlds apart.
The myriad-minded Shakespeare had
intellect, but with Christ it is diff
ferent. Christ stands at the center
of life from which all truth is visi-
BILE. He lived at that center and
throws light on every thing. Others
are seekers, but He comes, bringing
the truth to us; He makes us aware
of what Lincoln called "the angels
of our better natures" Wherefore
the supremacy of Jesus? He is the
supreme discloser of that in God
which most concerns humanity-His
character, purpose, His all encom-
passing capacity for sacrifice, His
beauty, His pity-mean everything.
The thing we have most wanted to
know through all of our lives is,
what is Gods purpose toward us?
Does Christ not give us the key to
all those questions? Why this turbid
ebb and flow of human misery?
Why? Why are great gifts so often
given to those who fall into the
depths? Why is death forever press
ed to the lips of youth? Why does
war desolate and lay waste the land?
Why sin? Why pain? Have we not
something that makes us willing to
wait to be worthy of the answer in
the character of Jesus? Jesus is the
answer to the riddle of life. Through
Him we begin to see hints and
CLEANS and intimations of what it
all means. The gospel of Christ is
wonderful. AS in the majestic mu-
sic of the Messiah, Ellis name shall
be called Wonderful" Why is it
that He does not seem far away? Is
it not this, there is something etern-
ally human in God, something etern-
ally divine in man, and these find
their outlet in Jesus? Life has not
been in vain; something in us is
akin to Him who never dies. If this
be not so, religion is romance. AS
we read the pages of His history, we
find every temptation understood,
every problem solved.
