to all who knew him.
Mr.. Ash was born in Onondaga
County, N. Y, Jan. 10, 1887. At the
age Of 21 he came to Michigan, set
Ting in Arbela Township where he
continued to reside until his death.
In 1870 he was united in marriage
with Miss Hilda Pearson and togeth-
er they took up their residence on
the farm which has since been their
home and where they underwent the
labors, the privations, and also the
joys of pioneer days. At the age of
forty Mr.. Ash was converted and
desired to unite with the Free Will
Baptist Church, but as there was no
church of that denomination nearby,
he became associated with the Meth
odist Protestant Church which he as
sisted in supporting. Beside his aged
widow, Mr.. Ash is survived by two
sisters, Mrs. ]. c. Cooper, Of Mid
land and Miss Ida Ash, of Arbela;
also by niece, Mrs. Fred Wright
of Flint. Funeral services were held
from the home Friday afternoon,
Rev. Arthur Tinglan officiating, and
the remains were laid at rest in Elva
cemetery.

Ambrose Ash, aged "a years, z
months and 25 days, died at his home
in Arbela Township, Tuscola County,
September 6, 1921, from the effects
of a paralytic stroke suffered two
days previously. With the passing
of this venerable gentleman, who had
spent the greater part of his life in
the neighborhood where he died, one
of natures noblemen laid aside the
cares and duties Of life and to all
who knew him the world seems to
have suffered a deep if not irrepair-
able loss through his departure.
There are certain fundamentals Of
human excellence that transcend all
artificial requirements. These are
integrity, industry and helpfulness
to others-real qualities of good
to the world during his earthly
pilgrimage. Mr.. Ash earned his
bread by the sweat of his brow, he
paid unto every man his just due,
he lent assistance to every moral
cause and in addition practiced char
ity as indeed the greatest of human
virtues. AS the poet has said "his
pity gave ere charity began" He
realized in practical way the pre-
cepts of the parable wherein this
language is found: "For l was hung
cred and ye gave me meat; thirsty
and ye gave me drink, naked
and We took me in" We may we'll
believe, too, that his reward will be
compassed in the sequel to that par
able which says: "And the King shall
say unto them, verify say unto you
inasmuch as ye have done it unto one
of the least of these, my brethren,
We have done it unto me-" Mr.. and
Mrs. Ash were denied children of
their own, but in the warmth of their
hearts took into their home several
unfortunate children to whom they
gave the fullest measure of care and
affection. In his home life Mr.. Ash
was a splendid husband and foster
father, as a friend and neighbor,
one of the best, in the community
useful, loyal citizen. Truly will his
memory be an undying Inspiration

BEDDING

Bedding, May 27.-Whether the woman voters of the town should or ganize for afiliation with the Ma tionaI Association of Woman Voters, | political but professadly non-parti- san body, or should form a strictly local union for community serVIce WCS the question before meeting held at the Mark Twain Library last Friday with an attendance of about 70 in which there were no men. Mrs. s. c. Shaw, head of the former local branch of the Woman Suffrage. League called the gathering with the object of organizing a successor to it. In the discussion at Fridays meeting she advocated union with the National Association, but that senu- ment found few supporters. Among those who spoke in opposition and in favor of a. Civic Service League whose efforts should be directed towards the Mrs. J. B. Sanford. who presided Mrs. Raymond Cunningham and Mrs. L. s. Warner. The view was eX- pressed that women, having now at politically with the existing parties and not as a separate class. A purely political branch of a national body would not count for much whereas society intent on performing home service for the public benefit might become an agency of much useful ness. Mrs. Charles Abbott stated that the women of the west side had a1-
 
 ing the national association, but would probably come into any move ment the present meeting decided for. The outcime of the discussion was the adoption of a motion that Mrs. J. B. Sanford bet empowered to appoint a committee to prepare and submit to a future mcting a plan for Civic Welfare League. She subsequently, named as such committee Mrs. D. s. Sanford and Mrs. Cunningham for the Ridge, Mrs. L. g. Warner and Mrs Edith StimSon for the Center and Mrs. Frank Aeehan and Mrs Harry I.ounsbury for the west side The address itselif will he the forwarding of the project for a new town house.
 Plans had been made for a, trip to Putnam Park on Memorial Day of about 100 convalescent soldiers from New York.

 At a regular meeting of the Mems Sunday club of the South Congrega- tional church of New Britain. the fol- lowing resolution was passed unanim- ously:
 Resolved-That the Mems Sunday club vote it's share of public sentiment in favor of a real disarmament program that, while recognizing that 67 per cent of present income must continue to be spent for obligations incurred in past wars, a great cut can yet be made in the current programs for the Army and Navy, which is the only place where appreciable reductions can be made in the tax budgets.
 l. For the Army. it is inconceivable
 to Army men as well as to 'laymen, wh,

often on the fence, barely keeping,
by means Of legal support, on this
side Of the prison-wall. Although
they may not be criminals or sinners
in the legal sense, they are certainly
not saints.
Others are honest and respectable
out Of policy. They have reached a
certain stage of morality; but moral
ity which is built upon the policy of
expendiency is not the highest stage
Of morality and cannot be called
saintless.
As matter Of fact, however, most
people live without any guiding prin-
cipal at all. Every phase of their
business and social life is treated as
a separate item. We often find that
one who is strictly fair and honest in
business may be most uncharitable;
the charitable man may be most dis
honest in business; both Of them
may be slanderers to such an extent
as would make them guilty Of libel;
or they may be guilty Of some other
vice or depravity to counterbalance
or even outweigh the good qualities
that they possess.
To live without some definite plan
is rot conducive to a morally sue
cessful or sanity life. The captain

conventional, formal morality suffi-

The main aim Of our lives, accord

sanctifying ourselves. We are to
reach that stage Of morality Of which
the Psalmist thought when he sang:

anything that savors Of wrong, weth-
err it be in the business world or in
the social domain, should be detesti-
