RlGCAL AURATE
sermon GIVEN
BY REV. Bliss
Il DESIRE TO KNOW" THEME
HEARD AT NJ. +. CHURCH
SUNDAY, JUNE II

Sunday evening, June u, marked
what is perhaps one of the most i'm
pressive of the occasions connected
with graduation. The class of '21
chose Rev. w. A. Bliss to deliver
their Baccalaureate sermon. He was
sisted in the service, held at the
M. E. church, by the other pastors
of the city.
Marching to the slow strains of
music, the graduates took their
places, ushered fly four Juniors. The
High school chorus sang two beau
tiful anthems; Rev. Osborne offered
prayer, and Rev. Rookie read the
Scripture lesson.
As the text for his address, Rev.
Bliss chose the 18th verse of the 18th
chapter of First Corinthians: 81
shall then know, even as am known"
In part, the speaker said, "The de-
sire TO know always brings its am
pie reward. If we are hungry enough
we work until We can get something
to eat; the desire carries with it the
strength to attain the thing desired.
The great necessity in learning is
arousing the desire for knowledge.
Il desire to know has accomplished
great things in this world; without
that strong desire great inventors,
explorers, historians and other men
who have given the world something
would not have aided the progress of
humanity. The desire to know has
accomplished all things" The speak
er then used the story from which
he had taken his text. "The Apostle
Paul desired to know of the future
life. He understood the works Of the
Lord on the earth. he had experienc-
ed them. but he wished TO know Of
the wonders of heaven. The Lord has
given us knowledge as we need it;
we will some dav learn of the things
of the future life, things more Won
derful than those of this world We
then shall be able to understand the
things we can't understand now" In
closing, Rev. Bliss said, There are
thre conditions necessary to success.
First, fifth. confidence in our own
ability. in our God-given powers.
Every man has been given an arm
long enough and hand strong
enough TO do something. Next, in
dustry. The lack of industry is one
of the big perils Of today, the world
is sadly suffering from this lack.
Then. dissatisfaction. The satisfied
man is no longer on the march, the
unsatisfied man does not hesitate to
wait along the way. His desires are
not fulfilled. and as he progresses
his vision broadens. dissatisfaction
is the parent Of ambition, aspiration
and desire. 1t is the graphing hook
that holds us to the higher. the best
things Of life"

PROFESSOR PEPP"
SENIOR CLASS PLAY
IS A BIG SUCCESS
EVEN THE MINOR CHARACTERS
PROVED TO BE STARS IN
POPULAR OPHRA

professor Pepp", the three act
college comedy chosen by the class
of 1921 as their Senior Play, played
to generous audiences on Saturday
and Monday evenings, June IL and
13.
The light, farcial element pre-
dominated from the opening strains
of Varsity, the college song which
opened the first act, till the curtain
was lowered at the close of the last
scene. No heavy plot, no moral, no
deep dramatics, just quick moving
comedy and screamingly funny eli
makes. The play was on the type
which appeals most to Belding au-
diences, and the crowds on both the
night were easy to please, and gener-
Gus in their evidences of apprecia-
ton.
Each participant fitted his part
admirably, the characters of Button
buster and Professor Pepp being es-
pecially we'll enacted AS the clowns
in the circus, Sim Batty and Petunia
with them constantly, and Aunt Min
erva was properly awe-inspiring.
Betty Gardner, the Professors ward
anu IlOWdIh bltNIl, iOI SulIOIJ were
simply typical young folks, very
much enamoured, and with eyes and
thoughts for no-one but each other.
The minor characters were we'll play
ed, perhaps especial mention should
be made of Peddler Benson, the col
lege lad working his way through
school via his ability as a salesman.
The real credit for the successful
presentation of the play belongs un-
to Supt. Skinner. whose
efficient, 'untiring direction enhbled
the students to make a good showing
with much less time in which to
practice than is usually necessary.
The participants themselves fully
his thorough interest and
effort to aid them, and evidenced
their appreciation by being faithful at
anxious to please and to
do their utmost to make the play
success.
The exact financial standing of
the venture is not yet known, but
the officers are confident that they
have made good, and can clear their
debt on the gift they have given TO
their underclassmates, the motion
picture machine.

Approximately 200 neighbors.
friends and relatives of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Skellenger gathered at the G..
A. X. hall, Thursday, June 9, to as
sist them in fittingly observing the
50th or golden anniversary of their
marriage and from the way things
were carried on throughout the day,
it will stand out as a big event in
the lives of not only Mr.. and Mrs.
Skellenger, but also every person who
was present on the occasion.
The marriage ceremony of so
years ago was performed by Rev. f..
ID. Bacon, at his home at Cannons-
burg and was witnessed by the min
strr's wife and Miss Sally M.
Knight. a young lady from New York
who happened to be visiting at the
Bacon home. The original we ding

ing years reaching out to the sunset
of life with the assurance of life
we'll spent.
Mr.. and Mrs. Skellenger were at
tended BY Gayle and Eugenia Mehney
their grand children and Miss Men
ney carried popies from Flanders
fields in honor of our dead heroes.
The dinner was then served and OH

the past was swept aside as the
guests sat down and the loads of
stuff began to circulate. Turkeys

casion, pies of every kind and every
thing else toothsome and tempting,
which could be thought of. The ta-
bles fairly groaned under their
weight of good things and if anyone
left. the board hungry, they had none
to blame but themselves.
Following the dinner the time was
spent in visiting and many an old
time incident was recalled and re-
viewed and at about four o'clock a
short program was given which con-
sisted of the reading Of an original
poem by Mrs. Mary f. H. Coville
and one by Mrs Marie Johnson. Ed.
ID. Engemann, on behalf of the as

Skellenger with sevral splendid gifts
which had been given Individually
and also a purse of money which had
been given by the people who were

Mrs. George Crawford. Mrs. John
Mehney and the many women of the
Daughters of Veterans who helped,
deserve great credit for the success
of the event.

Error In Pnhlihsinc

We erred in stating last week that
NJ. l.. Willoughby had been at Grand
Rapids attending a meeting of the
state Optometrists association and we
should have stated that Mr.. Willough-
oy was in attendance of the state OPP
tical clinic which was held at Grand
Rapids. Last week Mr.. Willoughby
attended the examinations which the
state holds in optometrv and which
in this case was held at Muskegon
and which examinations were passed
successfully by him. There were 100
men from all over the state and the
work of examining was in charge Of
some of the best experts which the
state could secure.
