Hand Injured On Surfacer.

While George Whitney was al
work on his machine surfacing boards
at the Belding Hall factory A, last
Wednesday, his left hand was caught
in the machine rolls and the fingers
and palm of his hand were seriously
injured, so much that it took Drs
Dutt and Stanton some time to put il
in shape again.
1t will undoubtedly be several
weeks before he will get back to
work.
George has worked around ma
chinery for a number of years and
this is the first serious accident he
has encountered.

FUTURE LOOKS
MUCH BETTER TO
LOCAL COMPANY
BELDING MACHINE co. STOCK
HOLDERS MEET. OUTLINE
PLANS TO OPERATE PLANT

A meeting of the board of directors
and stockholders cf the Beldlng
Machine Company was held in the
Citv Hall Tuesday night for the pur..
nose of investigating the status OF
the concern and discussing plans for
future action regarding the maecer ol
putting it in commission again Vi
closing it out altogether.
The Company was organized sosrs, e,
thing over a year ago ana ABOUT
600 90 in stock was pledged at Ihe
time. The Chapple machine shop
equipment was taken over ana meg
ged with the new Co., which opened
up business and operated in part OF
the Grand Rapids Brass Company
factory. New machinery was IN
stalled and large order for making
shells for the government was re-
ceived. considerable repair and Gus
tom work was taken care OF localiy,
but for some reason the financial end
did not figure good on the right side
of the balance sheet and few months
ago operations were suspended.
The shop is we'll equipped with ma
chinery and tools for doing all kinds
of repair work necessary for ordinary
business needs and estimated 20 pe
worth about $4,000, with small in
debtedness of about $4,000 to be taken
care of. Considerable discussion was
entered into as to how best to meet
the problem of putting it into oper-.
alton again or disposing OF it and
distribute the salvage.
The conference resulted in the ap-
pointment of a committee cf three
composed of Frank Hamman, w. C.
Spicer and L. G.. Wells, the latter one
of the Greenville stock holders. to in
vestigate and report at a meeting to
be called later.
Certainly with the full equipment
this company now has for doing work
already installed it would seem that
some good live energetic man could
be found for a manager and set the
wheels. going.
Belding needs an industry of this
kind and it ought not to be lying idle

SABBATH OF LIGHT
Holy Saturday a Great Day for
the Pilgrims Gathered in
Jerusalem.

~ TRING holy week the Chris
~ tian and MOslem pilgrims in
Jerusalem visit the sacred
river Jordan. On Holy
Thursday the Greek patriarch washes
the feet Of 10 pilgrims. This service
and ceremony is performed in the open
court in front of the cathedral, on q
temporary platform decorated with
olive boughs. The patriarchs of the
Catholic and Armenian communities
perform a similar service inside the
cathedral, to which the general public
is not admitted. On Good Friday all
day services are in order, and special
services with ceremonies cOmmemo-
rating the crucifiXion take place from
ak in the evening until midnight. On
Holy Saturday, also known as the
sabbath of Light" all lights in the
cathedral are eXtinguished. The Greek
and Armenian sects relight their
lamps, candles and fires from a flame
which il believed by them to appear
on the holy sepulcher on that day.
This is the browning event of Lent to
the Greek, Armenian, Syriac and Cop
tic creeds. Millions of wax tapers and
candles are lighted at this flame, burn

Fosslllzed Bacteria.

Marvellous as were the discoveries
of such prehistoric monsters as the
mammoth, the mastodon and the stego-
saurus, they are now eclipsed by re-
cent investigations which show the
most minute microbes and bacteria
in fossil form. The ancestors Of our
modern infectious disease germs and
microbes have been found in fossils
of the earliest life on earth. Fossil
bacteria have been discovered in very
ancient limestones collected by DR..
Charles d. Walcott, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, in GallatiD
county, Montana. The bacteria con-
sist of individual cells and apparent
chains of cells which correspond in
their physical appearance with the
cells of micrococci, form of bacte-
ria of today. The world has believed
that bacteria were modern forms of
life, but now we are made to realize
that they existed in the dawn of world
history, many million years ago.

THE SEPULCHRE
BY Annie johnson Flint

-Mathsw 20: 10; ~: Sc; rs: 6.
The Man had died on the cross,
And they laid him in the tomb;
The Living Stone in the stone,
The Rock in the rock-hewn room;
They left him alone with Death,
And sealed the stone at the door;
They made the sepulchre sure,
And set their watch before.
Lest his friends should steal him
away,
And say that he rose," they said.
But Life escaped from Death,
And the Goldman rose from the
dead.
The skeptical minds Of men
Still think the sepulchre sure,
But Christ had said, 81 will arise"
And the counsels of God endure.
Still his disciples go
To carry the wondrous word:
The Lord is risen indeed!
We know, we have seen and heard"
And the tomb men think az sure,
With the seal of their scorn on the
door,
The place where the Lord once lay
Is empty forevermore.
