TRIBUTE TO MISS THELMA FURR

the.ic passing of one who in crossing
the bar" withdrew from the worit
toe much of is wOnted sweetness anC
light and youth. II is all the more
pi.iable since in associating a young
lie so fresh and gracious with death
II seems ke reversing a law Of ma.
ture.
Thelma was born August 18th. 1904
and WAS just in the happy school girl
period when life is all one glorious
0ream. Before our eyes the rose was
only in bud. ready to burst into lovely
bloom. BY the Divine Hand il was
plucked. as shedding its fullest fra
GRANGE.
In early childhood she became a
member Of the Baptist church To
which she was Loyalty devoted. Into
the Sunday school and the B. Y. p. L.
she entered with sincerity of inter-
est and enthusiasm which made her
OF the utmost usefulness.
Her sweetness of spirit not only
made her presence in the household a
source of JOY but won friends of all
whom she met. Kindly and courte-
Gus. genial and jolly. ever ready with
wit and humor. she was a delightful
companion. Her CHEEKY greeting
somehow made the skies a little bit
brighter.
Possessing the admirable charac-
,eristics that tend to make a welt
rounded woman, her life gave promise
to useful and happy career. To us
the star was steadily climbing the
eastern sky with increasing brilliance;
but God was pleased TO have il melloy

HIGH SCHOOL CLUB
 HEARS MR. THIEVES
Hartford County Secretary Ad-
 dresses Weekly Meeting at '. M.

Elmer T, Thienes, secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A. In Hartford county, was the speaker at the weekly meeting of the High school club in one of the class rooms at the Y, M. c. A. last evening. He took for his subject. "Finding ones best self"
 Tn the seventh chapter of Matthew will be found the following passage: The road that leads to life is both narrow and close and there are but few people who find it.''
 Some people think that Jesus. when he said that sentence, meant that onc's life should be dull, unat- tractive. l do not believe that he had that idea In mind. Some people are narrow; their judgment Is biased. Christ's life was one of fulfilment and was well-rounded in all It's phases. He did not say that life Is narrow. He said that the way to life is through narrow ways"
 MT. Thienes said that few people hnd the secret of life. Their life may be well-rounded on some sides. but there are still some aspects which are undiscovered. These people do not know themselves; they may have talent and be unaware of the fact.
 There are three phases of thought in that verse: First. the way to life; second. the fact that few find it, and third, the way is hard.
 MT. Thienes then spoke of the def
New Britain herald., 1922-01-13

hilton Of life, He said that there are many definitions It Is according to what person does, There are some to whom the definition of life means to wear fine clothes, there are others to whom life means having good time, These people have missed the under standing of that phrase. When I say I want to live," mean that l want to live in every sphere to its utmost capacity"
 There are not many who have not lived completely on the physical side The way of life 80 far as our bodies are concerned means keeping our bod ies In the pink of condition. We may feel that we are robust, but after youth. people. as a rule, let go Of that side of life.
 There Is another side, Some do noi find out about the mental sphere, "A man once asked me to state the big problems of youth. I told him thai the inability to think and to make conclusions of his own, are the biz problems of a young fellow. The mar who hasn't made original conclusions the man who hasn't used his brain who turns away from mental problems has not learned what 1t is to live. The boys of today need more challenging on the mental side of life"
 MT. Thienes then said that success is not merely matter of good per sonality. One must have brains in or der to see clearly. One great fault O men today is that they are unable tt solve the problems of today, to set through to the end Tn the affairs O men you must be able to produce O you will be left on the side paths O life. l want to be where the battl' is on, where big affairs arc being dis cussed," he said
 He then spoke of the third step spiritual vigor ''The fellow wh doesn't know God lacks the ability t sacrifice and pay penalties. God is tn greatest factor in all human life an'

the fellow who knows God will be able to undertake tremendous tasks !" The great sweep Of the influence or Paul, the apostle, was due to the fact that God was n part Of his life, The fellow who hasn't reckoned with God hasn't learned what 1t is to live, A man who goes about life grabbing everything he can lay his hands on, acting as if the world were made for him alone, Is squeezing out the best part of his life.
 Real living is the development of one's body to the limit, storing up vigor for useful days to come; train | Ing of the brain so as to be able to undertake great tasks when the time may come; and knowing God.
 Most people take 1t for granted that n man who has n great deal Of money knows what It Is to live. l once knew a man who had lots of money, but he didn't know what 1t was to be well man. would rather tramp the hills and lead a rugged out. of door life. Grcnfell, the great explorer, on the shores of Labrador, hasn't much money, but his life is productive"
 Mr. Thenes said that the way is hard so far as body condition is con cerncd but the way is equally hard regarding mental fitness If you don't read few substantial books your brain will gradually stop func- tioning the way it should.
 Lots of fellows don't know what prayer is. An equally large number don't know the value of service, and service is the making of sacrifices The giving up of pleasant things Is not easy, but the man who pays the price is the man who Is worth while, the man who will come out on top"
 In conclusion, Mir. Thienes said tha, a person can go through life letting his body, brain and spiritual life take care of themselves. When he passe. on people will say, "He was born ant he died" But the man who takes care of his body brain and spiritua being will be the one whose memor! will remain and who will have accom- plished something.

 The meeting was held in the chapel of the church at o'clock and re- treatments were later served in the parish house. In his talk President Ogilby spoke mostly of his personal experiences in the Philippine Islands where he went with Bishop Brent in 1915. He told of the various kinds of weather on the island.

 While doing missionary work on the islands, President Ogilby said that he, with Bishop Brent. went to one of the extreme ends of the island

Billy-goat Hopkins had bllnked many
times before his little mistress came
home. Larry Bishop had gone to his
lonely hut, and Daddy Hopkins and
Granny Hope were doing in front

the meeting between Oscar and Evelyn.
About a quarter to nine. she stole out

at length upon a lonely shack set

to the back. opened the door. and once
within the room touched a match TO o
small candle which she had taken
from her pocket. and sat down quietly.
When Oscar Bennett stepped into the
hut, he uttered an oath. He was not
expecting to see Polly Hopkins.
"My lady won't come, ehl" he de-
manded gruffly.
"Oh, she's comm all right" an
swered Polly. "but she were afraid.

A loud laugh fell from Benefits
lips.

Polly squatted on the floor by the

gingerly down onto a rickety bench.

I told you to tell 'er," he burst out af-
ter n while. "She's about the most

For the space of a few seconds Polly
looked az the speaker. Then:

There was no smile on the lovely

straight ahead OF him az the dark
driveway. but turned when Evelyn APP
peared beside him. Polly heard the
murmur of their voices. that was all.
They then disappeared into the house.
Evelyn laughingly pushing the soldier
ahead Of her. Quickly the girl came
out again; and Polly could hear her
swift-coming breaths as she ran softly
down the steps.
"Shush." Kissed Polly Hopkins
"Lordy, / was scared to death some

"Pollyop," questioned Evelyn anxious
~. "What'd he say? Was he angry?'
Their heads were very close to-

low tone.

Before Evelyn could say another

among the shadows. The other, al
