Out Importance Of The
Preparation For Death

which cause death. Think of the mil
lions Of auto wrecks, and many rail-

the hermit who lives away from all
and he will tell you be believes in a
God and expects to make peace with
Him ere death. Accost the police
man and he will tell you that he be-
lieves and will settle his accounts with
the Great Giver of Law ere he dies.
Few expect to die unprepared. Yet
the accidental death which gives no
time for preparation is abroad In the
land. Millions have gone with this
dread disease we call Flu" and a
friend here today told me when ne

was unable to think to pray, prayed
less than ever in his life.

by like skaters on ice and we are
hurled to the docket of celestial
book keeper to adjust our accounts.

FIRST FLOORING USED
IN THE UNITED STATES

so far as known the first flooring
used in the u. s. was yellow pine, cut
along the Delaware River In 1928 or
1924. II was worked into flooring ~
inch thick and nearly feet wide and
laid In a stone house which was erect
ed In 1924 at Bingham Ferry. Pa. In
1884 the old stone house, which had
been partly dwelling and partly fort In
the old days, was torn down and new
house built by Moses c. V. Shoemaker,
whose ancestors had sawed out the old
floor 100 years before. The floors In
the old house were found TO be In per
feet condition, and although Mr.. Shoe
maker WIS offered an almost fabulous
price for the great yellow pine boards,
he had them relaid In his new resi-
dence, and believes they win give good
service for another 100 years. This Is
