PROMINENT LAWYER FILLS OS.
CEOLA PULPIT.
Hon. v. Il. NIcGinnis Delivered inter-
esting Address to Large, Appreci-
atiVe Audience of OsceOla Nj.
f.. Church Sunday.

A large congregation, noted for
the unusual number of business and
professional men present, gathered
at the M. E. church Sunday at eleven
ment that Hon. " R. McGinnis, OF
Leon, would deliver an address. All
came expecting spiritual and intel
lectual treat and none went away dis
appointed. In the absence of the
regular pastor the services OF the day
were under the direction Of the
brotherhood of the church Of which
Forney served as chairman of the
meeting and following the usual pre-
liminaries of the Sunday service he
very pleasantly presented the speak
er.
By way of introduction Mr.. Nc
pleased with the large congregation
of friends and neighbors present,
and he stated that 1t was probable
that his address might more proper
ly be called Message from the La
ity,' than a sermon.
AS basis for his remarks he read
the thirteenth chapter of | Corinthi-
thirteenth verse. which is as follows:
"And now abideth faith, hope,
charity, these three; but the great
est of these is charity"
He reviewed Pauls history in his
relation with the church at Corinth.
He spoke of Paul S strength and he
ideals of the Corinthians of that day
in a mastery manner. He revealed
the fact that the lesson taught by
the Apostle in the chapter under con-
sideration applies today as it did
then to righteous living. He alluded
to- the Christmas spirit and New
Years resolutions as practical ex-
amples of the results of the doctrine
taught by Paul's writings and he re-
ferred to the great European war in
a manner most interesting.
The address aDounded in cpl
grams pointing the pathway of
right. 1t was characterized by the
length and breadth Of the scholar
ship Of the man who delivered it: 1t
tions of history and quotations of
gems of literatur The terms faith,
hope and charity were defined in
their meaning in the christians life
of today.
The address was eloquent, logical
and reasonable and it was closed
with climax that referred to the
Christ as the true example as we'll
as the Saviour of the world
The congregation was evidently
greatly pleased with the address and
at the close of the meeting many
remained to express personal appre-
citation to the speaker. I, /.

tian church and Mr.. Totten of the

Sells Big Poultry and Produce Btsi-
ness.

Many Leon people will remember
M. B Watson, who for a couple of
years was a resident of Leon, con-
nected with the Clarinda Poultry,
Butter and Egg Co, and will be in
terested In the following taken from
the Albany, Mo-, Capital:
Marshall B. Watson, who has for
several years been one of the livest
wholesale dealers in poultry and pro;
southern Iowa territory, has sold his
five retail houses in outside towns to
different parties, and with the end OF
the year 1916 closed his wholesale
house in Albany Mr. Watson has
been in the produce trade here for
nine or ten years, and has handled a
big volume of trade, but his health
was bad the past summer, and he de-
termined to get out of the grind OF
business for a year or SO. tie expects
to spend several months the coming
of five or six hundred acres of wheat
on his ranch near Calgary. Canada,
and will then either be joined by Mrs.
Watson and their daughter Marian
there for the remainder OF the sum-
mer. or else will return to be with
them here. MIR. and Mrs. Watson s
many friends here will hope that they
may continue to make Albany their
home. He has been one of the most
intelligent and aggressive pushers OF
our Commercial Club for town-better-
ment while he has been a resident OF
Albany, and Mrs. Watson has been
active in lodge, church and social cir
cles here, being the present worthy
matron of the Eastern Star Chapter.
1t would be a positive loss to our
town to have them move away.

The town of Grand River is pecul-

and the last one the burning of the
big Dalby lumber yard last Thursday
evening has given rise to the suspi-

that town.
On Thursday evening at ten min

was sounded and it was found that
the l. J. Dalby lumber yard, one OF
the best in southern Iowa, was on
fire. When the fire was discovered
the whole south side of the yard was
on fire, having started at a point
where there had been no fire. the

the north side. The flames spread
rapidly, and nothing gould be saved

much enthusiasm. Hope they will
come again.

A Pleasant Birthday Surprise.

There are times in mans life
when he wants to say something and
does not feel capable of the task, or
we will say pleasure, in this instance,
but, as Faint heart never won Fair
Lady" here we go. Last Tuesday
was the occasion of one OF the most
happy events we have ever had the
privilege OF attending--the surprise
dinner on our esteemed father-in-
law, 4. ..A-urchett, i being bis sew
drer sssa n,srssas q g 3 ~
home and in very short time they
were all present that were to be the
guests of this kind christian gentle
man. To say that he> was surprised
only tells the tale as it was. Our
better half had conceived the idea of
having Rev. Orr Campbell present as
the orator of the day, and say, when
he made the speech presenting Faith
er Burchett with fine gold watch
chain, he did better than any other
man on earth could have done.
Knowing the real true value Of the
recipient, gave him the impetus for
his talk, and he did it with that come
ly grace which only a true christian
can give brother. A bounteOus
dinner such as the Burchetts can
prepare was one OF the great fea-
lures. We hope to see Father Bur
sions of this kind lie and his good
wife have the respect of everybody
who have ever met them and this
gives to these occasions the real
beauty which they possess.--Grand
