PRESBYTER|ANS
HEAR TALKS ON
CHURCH POLICY
Rev. DR.. Koontz Tells Some
Good Stories at Congre-
gational. Dinner.

I.
Harry 'Engle, assistant cashier of
the Fairmont State bank, presided
with his usual success at the congre-
gational dinner which was held last
evening at the First Presbyterian
church.
After the ladies OF the church had
served a very delightful menu, the
Deacon" took charge of the affair
and introduced the speakers of the
evening and a few who did not speak.
He made j. Walter Barnes, one OF the
deserving Democrats and wholeheart-
ed Presbyterians get up and make a
delightful little bow; but wouldn't let
him talk. Ditto for "Fairmont's Grano
Old Man." j. NJ. Hartley.
After this Harry Hartley led off the
oratorical pyrotechnics with a general
survey OF the finances Of the churcn.
and was followed by H. B. Hungerford
who made a special appeal for the
benevolent side of the church. en-
velope. Mrs. J. Walter Barnes talked
on the need of giving as the Lord has
prospered each individual. She backed
up her statements with enough scrip
ture to allow for no argument on the
other side of the fence and carried
her point. M. B. Cobun explained the
budget for the coming year and the
details OF the campaign to get the re-
CURED amount, while DR.. Thomas
Greer koontz made great appeal for
the New Era movement, going into de-
tail about the various phases OF the
great work. 1t was a5powerful address
and was received with rapt attention.
DR.. Stoetzer pronounced the benedic
ton. Lamar Satterfield sang several
songs and a duet with Mrs. Forrest
Fankhauser, while Mrs. Fankhauser
also sang several solo selections, Mrs.
E. E. Church being accompanist.
Everyone went away from the meet.
ing with renewed church spirit and
the campaign to raise the budget
should be very successful. About $50
attended. ~
rs Or. Koontz told a couple of good
stories during his address. One was
OF the young pastor whose wife con.
tinually broke n upon him VIII q slie
7eass sspfepa afing MS seffd0d. F4nSliv ifeI
asked 6fier e she knew the difference
between a woman and an umbrella? !?
She said she did not. Whereupon he
explained that you could shut an um.
brella up. After a little thought the.
wife said that an umbrella and many
women were much alike, owing to the
fact that they were made OF ribs and
tied to stick.
His other story was that of the small
boy who called his mother to the win.
dow to see lion. When she got there
she saw only collie dog with Lair
clipped except around the neck and a
little knob of hair on the end of the
tail. She rebuked the child for tell.
ing a falsehood and sent him upstairs
to seek forgiveness from the Lord.
A short time later he reported sat.
isfactory progress, saying that when
he took the matter up with the Lord.
the Lord had told him the first time
He had seen one of those dogs He
also had mistaken it for lion.

PARIS, April 20.-The German
government has received an identical
note form the Allied powers warning
her of the effect on the revictualing
of the country the establishment of a
government opposed to executing the
Versailles treaty would have. accord
ing to semi-official statement issued
today.
The note was presented to the Ger

the representative of the Allies in
Berlin.
SAN RENO, Italy, April 2O.-The
premiers of the Allied powers in con-
ference here, although busy with the
problem of the Turkish peace treaty,
have found time to resume the con-
yersation begun Sunday evening upon
what warning or ultimatum shall be
sent 10 Germany respecting the execu-
ton of the treaty of Versailles. II
does not appear, however, that their
consultation has led them beyond an
agreement on the principle that some
thing of mandatory character must
be done, differences in view of the
exact nature existing.
