PASTOR ENDORSES
DRIVE FOR FUNDS
Its Fun to Give, Fun to
Share" Rev. Koehnemann
Tells Congregation.

Rev. r H. KoehnemanR in his
Sunday evening sermon at the I'M
manuel NJ. E. church on Christian
Fun" spoke Of Christianity as a
transforming agency, declaring that
when the spirit of Christ once gains
a foOthold in the life OF any indi-
v1dual things are never as they were
before. The pastor emphasized how
Christianity transforms the man at
play as well as at work and related
the following Halloween incident:
"A group Of boys OF a certain COM
munity had outlined their activities
for Halloween night. A small farm
in the immediate neighborhood was
TO be visited. And what they had
not all planned 10 do at that place.
When the long looked for day ar
rived, the leader of the group learn
ed that the owner of the little farm
had been bed ridden for weeks and
that his work had been sadly neglect
ed. When the boys finally assembled
for the evenings fun, their attitude
of mind was undergoing a change.
When they got to the place and saw
that the corn was still in the shock,
a new desire overcame them. a hur-
ried consultation was held with the
result that a corn husker's club was
organized. Dozens of dark forms
fitted about the moonit field and
before many hours had passed, the
corn was safely stored away in the
crib. When the farmers wife be-
1 .,F rr-ha
| she arranged luncheon for the tired
and hungry workers. The boys voted
that this was the best prank they
had ever played and vowed then and
there TO celebrate Halloween in a
/ similar manner the coming year.
wonder if any South Bend boys have
played similar pranks? If not, try
it out; it's fun"
The pastor also said: The time
of the year is also here. when our
organized charities are calling for
funds to meet the ever increasing
! demands that are placed upon them.
The asking may seem large. but it is
small when we consider the scope of
the work that is done, the many
activities that are represented and
| the possible demands that a very
problematical winter may bring. l
venture to say that South Bend
spends this sum many times over in
needless pleasures during the course
of the year. Might it not be we'll
to let the spirit of Christian fun enter
into this giving. 1t is true the times
are hard and somewhat uncertain
but a little self-denial, a little sacri-
fee on the part Of every one will
make it possible for our splendid
organizations to continue their good
work. It's fun to give, it's fun 10
share. May we learn anew to spread
joy and pleasure in the name of Him
who lived so self-sacrifcingly and
in our giving not forget that he who
gives himself with his aims feeds
three-hmself, his hungering neigh
bour, and Me-"

from the Thompson 0rphanage
hoard TO the effect that the Edwin
A. Osborne building has been COM
pleted and is practically ready for
occupancy. This structure was erect
cd during the last spring and ,5O.l-
mer at a cost of something more
than thirty thousand dollars, and
will house about twenty infants
under four years of age For the
first time the orphanage in Charlotte
is now equipped for the care of
babies. 1t is interesting to recall
that the movement tor. this building
was started at the diocesan conven-
(ion held in Charlotte in the spring
Of 1920 At one of the night sessions
Of that convention in st. Peters
church, Bishop Cheshire called for
subscriptions toward such a build
ing, the statement being made that
about twenty-five thousand dollars
would be needed, In about half
an hour thirty, thousand dollars was
pledged, and other subscriptions
followed. 1t was determined to
name the building for the venerable
Edwin A. Osborne, Father of the
Thompson Orphanage," for years its
superintendent, and for years the
Archdeacon Of the Convocation of
Charlotte. Colonel Osborne's eighty
third birthday occurred during that
convention, and at a luncheon in
his honor in st. Peters parish house
a huge cake. studded with eighty
three lighted candles was presented
to the beloved patriarch of Charlotte,
On the convention floor he was the
subject of several congratulatOry
speeches, in one of which the late
D. Y. Cooper OF Henderson present
ed to him bag of gold from some
friends.
