COAL OIL EXPLOSION
Woody L. Thomson Attempts To
Hasten Kitchen Fire.

Woody L. Thomson, an employe
of Frank Allen, plastering contractor,
was the victim of a coal oil explosion
early Monday morning in which he
was painfully and seriously burned
about the left arm and leg at his
home 815 d avenue west.
Thomson was making the morning
fire in the kitchen in preparation for
breakfast and started to use coal oil
to hurry along the process. An ex
plosion occurred and the blazing oil
was thrown in all directions. The
clothing of the victim was instantly
aflame and before other inmates OF
the home could get to him and smoth
er out the fire with blankets and
such other material as they could
grab up in the emergency he was
painfully burned. A phycician was
summoned and was at the scene OF
the happening within a few moments
after the occurrence. The arm and
leg were found to be badly blistered
and deeply burned and emergency
treatment was necessary. The burns
had to be dressed a number of times
during the day and the patient suf-
fered much. He is easier today. and
will get along all right unless COM
plications intervene. The accident
might easily have been worse.
Prompt action on the part of those
in the home saved the life of the I'M
fortunate man and averted a fire in
the home. The flames in the room
were handled without much damage
occurring.

THE BACCALAUREATE
o. II. S. Graduating Glass Address
ed By Rev. W. Il. Perdew.

Commencement season for the
graduating class OF the Oskaloosa.
high school was auspiciously begun
on Sunday morning when they at.
tended the Central NJ. Z. church in
body and listened to the excellent
discourse of the Rev. w. II. Perdew
The baccalaureate sermon, and in
fact the entire service is always a
scene of congratulation for work well
done and a benediction of well
wishes for the future. In this class
were fifty-three ambitious young peo-
pie who had completed their work
with honor both to themselves and
to their school. g..
At the opening and the closing OF
the service, selections were played
by the high school orchestra and
twice during the service the high
school girls chorus contributed well
rendered anthems under the direction
of Miss Sarah Williams. A large
audience was present which filled ev-
cry part of the auditorium and all
were greatly pleased with the ser
vice.
Rev. w. II. Perdew in his sermon
spoke from the subject of What Is
1t WORTH" and selected his text from
st. Luke IL, and the latter part of
the 18th verse: For mans life con-
sisteth not in the abundance of the
things which he possesseth." Rev.
Perdew opened his remarks with
words of congratulation and encour-
Iagement to the members of the class
and stated that the honor of their
graduation belonged not only to them
as a class, but also to their parents
and to the school which they have
so ably represented. The cause OF
! education is closely allied to that OF
the church and in fact they should
lgo hand in hand.
The value of mans life was dis
cussed, his earning power, life in its
duration, and yet after all we must
come back to the estimate of Christ,
las indicated by the text. In the
true estimate of life we find three
important requisites Personal eff
cheney, strength of character, and 6
great motive in life. Not only is II
necessary to educate the head and
discipline the intellect but we must
be right in heart, for AS a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he" and
"out of the heart flow all the issues
of life" Rev. Perdew closed with
an eloquent plea to the class to make
their lives life of service to others
Success lies in the expenditure OF
self and life given for the welfare
Iof humanity.
At the close of the service, the
class were Immediately surrounded
by friends and relatives and their
were most sincere
and cordial. The entire service was
simple and beautiful in it's potent
force. in that the spirit of worship
was placed first.
