DENIES ENDORSING NOTE

Altoona, Pa, March 31-Thos
M. Gift, a retired Altoona grocer
today received notice from the
Farmers National Bank Of Selins-
grove that note for $1,000 bear
ing his name as indorser wonld be
due on May 5.
The note was placed in the bank
two years ago by the Rev. G. NJ.
Aurand, who died under mysteri-
GUS circumstances, and was re-
newed last year. Gift declares the
note a forgery and says he never
indorsed it. He is a member of
Temple Lutheran church Of which
Doctor Aurand was pastor. The
two families were very intimate
and had planned a trip to the
Holy Land last year but were pre-
vented from taking it by the war.
Heirs of Robert Taylor, one of
the leading members of st. Mat
thews Lutheran church, of which
Doctor Aurand was pastor, were
notified by a Selinsgrove bank
that note bearing his name is
due. They pronounce it a forgery.

And now he leaves, satisfied that

work so well started for the glory
and triumph of the blessed gospel
among the Italians.
To the friends and to those who
have sympathized with his work
