BLEM1sHED OFFERINGS

In the absence OF Pastor Ccarffe,
who exchanged pulpits with the
Hartman pastor in order to present
the work of the Tiff School of
Theology at Denver. the Rev. G..
H. Billings, pastor at Hartman and
Bristol spoke here last Sunday
morning on 'Blemished Offerings. /.
The priests of the Old Testament
times had formed the corrupt habit
of offering the worthless lambs on
the alter to God so hardened were
their cOnsciences that they were
able to offer the diseased and
crippled sacrifices without scruple.
So today many in the churches are
bringing their poorest to God. Some
seek God only late in life giving
Him only the evening hours of life
In our time we stint God. We
work six days week for self and
can scarcely give one day to Him
We gladly sacrifice time, thought
and care for our loved ones but
are concerned but little for the
needs OF Gods Kingdom.
In trustfulness we give God the
poorest, We trust our friends more
than we trust God. We tell them
our troubles and put confidence in
them and ignore the greater good,
ness and power of the Almighty.
In faithflllness and obedience we
place God second. We may pros
titute our very conscience to please
an employer yet we fail to obey
God who says. go We into all the
world and preach the gospel to
every creatAre.' How hard 1t is
for us to tell men OF their sins and
invite them to Christ. How little
we do for God and how much for
self.
In the bestowal of our goods
how niggardly we are We spend
more to punish criminals then for
church. charity and education all
combined. England spends today
ten million dollars for drinks but
not one-tenth of that for religion.
Are YOU bringing your best to
Jesus Christ?
Christ gave himself on Calvary.
If we gave him all we have we
could not match that sacrifice.
Our first need is self-surrender.
Such sacrificial spirit would
change our conception of what we
call our own. 1t would change our
conception of how we should EN-
ploy our faculties, talents and op
portunities for service Above all
gifts to Him. Are you bringing
we should give ourselves with our
bemished offerings to God? Give
him your best!

IAmAR's NEW HOSPITAL

The Lamar people appear to be
at logger heads over the appoint
ment of a board of directors for
their contemplated hospital at least
that was the situation last week.
We hope 1t has improved by this
time. The difficulty appears to be
that the medical fraternity wishes
a larger representation on the board
then the layinan interested will con-
cede. 1t was this very uncertainty
as to the management of the hos
pital that did as much as anything
to contribute to the defeat of the
County Hospital movement last
fall. Lamar needs hospital but
she does not need two. Two diff
ferent committees are now consid-
ering the erection of hospitals. 1t
is to be hoped they may reach an
agreement to build only one.

Reviying M.w.A. Lodge

Pitman, June 1O-Union Camp No.
153O3 NJ. w. of A. at Supply, had been
dragging along for the past several
years with no place to meet and with
only about Is or 20 members. Some
weeks back we made arrangements
with the Odd Fellows at Pitman,
which is one and One-half miles north
Of Supply, for the use Of their hall.
As soon as we had arranged for a
home" we asked District Deputy Jno.
r. Holt, of Reyno, to come over and
see II he could stir up little Modern
WOodman enthusiasm, which as you
will see, he certainly did. He spent
a few days here and then sent Special
Deputy n. II. Thomas of PocahOntas,
who after working a few days, an
nounced that we would have big
class adoption June 2nd. 1t seemed
that everybody had a good word to
say for the Modern Woodmen and the
way the new applications poured in
was indeed gratifying. Soon the ques-
ton that was on every fellows lips
was; "Are you going to get into the
Woodmen for the big night?" and they
usually answered in the affirmative.
SO when June 2nd came, long be-
fore dark the "boys" began to arrive
from all points of the compass, in all
modes of conveyances, some afoot,
some horseback, some in buggies and
wagons and some in autos and trucks.
They continued to come till when the
time cane for the Foresters to bring

was called about so answered "'here,"

teries of Woodcraft, and too, Dist.
Deputy Holt was here with some 10
new applicants for his Camp at Rey-
no.
We are very grateful to the boys
from Doniphan, Middlebrook and Sue
cess, for their timely assistance in
putting on the work There were
neighbors here from Reyno, Maynard,
Pocahontas and Datto, all of whom are
urgently requested to visit us any
time possible for them to do so, and
the same invitation extends to all

Obituary

For the second time in one week our
community was shocked by visit from
the grim reaper, death. This time
his victim was one of our most es-
teemed and ambitious young men
Mr. Ross Thomas, who had been haul
ing bolts at timber camp at Julia
Dean Bar. After the days work was
over, and as his horses were muddy
he thought he would ride them into
the eddy at the river and wash them
of. He had washed one and proceed
ed to wash the other when from some
cause the horse refused or could not
swim and sank in the water. In
struggling the horse struck Mr..
Thomas in the breast and broke his
neck The body was brought to the
surface by son of Mr.. Forest. who
lives at that camp. All that friends
could do to restore life was done for
the next two and one-half hours. At
that time we did not know that his
neck was broken or that the horse
had struck him as there were no marks
visible until four or five hours later.
The body was taken TO his home near
by and was buried on the 7th at the
Chesser graveyard, services being con-
Quoted by A. j. Gwin.
Ross Thomas was 20 years of age
and leaves an aged mother and two
small children. lie was born in Texas
and had lived in this county about
five years, where he was engaged for
some time in the mercantile business
at holland, later entering in the
timber business. He had been a
member of Orient Lodge, l. o. o. f.
Of Pocahontas. He had been very
generous young man, always ready to
do Kindness and always ready to do
his part in any public improvement.
No one could speak Of him except in
terms of praise. He will be missed
and his mother and other relatives
have our deepest sympathy.
