Episcopal Church Notes.

The text for the morning talk was
found in Sam. 21-8, the subject being,
"The Kings Business. A man should
be ready to give his life if need be for
the cause he serves. He should be
prompt in the dispatch of duty when
he has made up his mind what ought
to be done, for to hesitate and daily
then is to openly invite failure. Many
people regard themselves as belonging
to themselves so to speak, responsible
to no one and able to DO whatever they
law. Such life writes Self in capital
letters. God has given to everyone
special task: everyone has mission
to fulfill. You need not remain long
in doubt as to what God would have
you do if you earnestly desire to know.
God is still working in this world as
is evident to everyone, and he works
through other people. In every great
world-crisis God has stood ready with
man. We may have to toll at an
obscure task; we may have to give the
cup of cold water because we have
| nothing else to give. but if we do such
work faithfully, we are truly great
and noble in Gods sight. 1t is always
the way in which we do our work, that
determines our standing in Gods sight.
| Our first business is to seek the King
dom of God. We must start right or
the end of the journey will bring
defeat. Then we should be prompt in
much to do and the laborers are so few.
| Life is short and if we do not improve
every opportunity. we may have to
leave our mission unfulfilled., our work
unfinished.
The evening services was union one
held at the Methodist church, and was
addressed by Rev. Mr.. Douglass, who
exchanged with MIR. Warner. The
subject was "Antipas, the Type of
Faithful Martyr" From the man. we
can Judge what sort of a church pro-
duced him. That is question for the
pulpit now: What kind of folks have
we reason to think will be produced by
our preaching? When the church pro-
duces a certain type of man, he In turn
gives inspiration and strength to the
organization. The most effective kind
of preaching is doubtless the testimony
of the one who has seen and felt cer-
tain things. We ought to have a
revival of religious conversation. In
the early years of the church, men felt
that they had something worth dying
| for, and in producing the martrys
the church has grown and prospered.
We are not as yet called upon to be
martyrs but there are calls upon us
and we are in more danger of failing
in these than if we were called upon to
be martyr. for crisis brings out our
strength and ease weakens Us.
There will not be any services in the
church until Sunday, March 19, as the
pastor is taking the remainder of his
vacation.
Remember the entertainment on
Friday evening. Everyone cordially
invited to come.

MR.. HAMBLET'S VISIT TO THE
GRAMMAR SCHOOL

This morning after we came down
from the general science room we
found Mr.. Hamblet waiting in our
room. He told US that to tax person
the value of his property must be
found. Some articles such as watches
which are not worth more than S25
are not taxed. First man is taxed on
real estate. The personal estate con-
sists of cattle, furniture and other
articles. A power boat which is not in
the village cannot be taxed in the
village. Bonds themselves cannot be
taxed, but the interest on these bonds
can be taxed. A man having shares of
bank stocks is taxed. A man that has
cash on hand can be taxed on it. Mr..
Hamblet gave each of US a tax inven-
tory such as is filled out for or by the
listers. We added imaginary personal
and real estate. We took l per cent of
the total amount and the result was
the money upon which tax would be
paid. The poll tax is So and every man
from Fl to 70 must pay such tax.

Fine Concert Closes Lecture Course,

Musicians in general are enthusiastic
over the entertainment given by the
Chicago Musical Club in Seaver's hall
Friday evening, as the closing number
in the lecture course. The house was
crowded. The course closed with a
slight balance on the right side.
The personnel of the company was
somewhat changed from the advertis-
ing furnished by the lyceum bureau
but every member was an artist and
the program gave general satisfaction.
In ensemble work the company was at
its best perhaps. but the solo numbers
by the f1utist, the cornetist, the first
violinist and 'celloist were heartily
encored. The Chicago Musical club
would undoubtedly bring out full
house should they ever appear in
Barton again.

Village Finances Good-Annual Meeting

warned for Tuesday evening next at
7.30 o'clock. The warning contains
little out of the ordinary unless it may
be articles II, IL and 13 which bring
the question of fireproof sub-station
to the voters. The slight fire ex-
perienced at our wooden sub-station is
only an example of what might happen.
Had conditions been slightly different
at the time of the fire, current consul
mers might have been without electri-
city for week Or more instead of for
only day or so. Now that so many
persons are being served through this
station and the loss to the village SO
great and to the individuals even
current, it behooves the village to take
every precaution to have it's plant in
the very safest condition.
Another article, number 16, not con-
tanned in the warning as printed in the
report but a part of the official warn
lDg reads:
Is To see if the village will vote to
pay Is per cent of its highway tax for
1916 to the town treasurer of Barton to
be expended upon the highways of the
town outside of said village.

are now in the hands of the voters,
show good records in every department

Nick Ward had his back to the storm of icy missiles, but poor old Burke had to face the music, and the stinging pellets almost blinded him.
