4OTH ANNIVERSARY
M. {. CHURCH
(COntributed)

The forticth anniversary ccle-
Dration Of the Mcthc dist churcl
since the dedication of the Log
church last Sunday was a great
,uccess in every way.
In the, morning DR.. Warner Of
Tacoma preached strong sermon
IN, "The church and its Future"
to a large audience. The church
has future DR.. Warner said be-
cause Of its founder, Jesus Christ
who never changes. Further it
has future because it is built up
on human need, and as long as it
strives to be an agency Of Jesus
Christ for the Salvation of Man.
kind, the Church will not only
exist but prosper. After the ser
mon a large number partook of
the Sacrament Of the Lords Sup
per.
At one o'clock about rs persons
gathered around the tables in the
Log Church and enjoyed splen-
did dinner. Visitors were present
from all over the Island and from
Seattle and Tacoma. After the
dinner was over DR.. Warner was
drafted to carry in a huge birth
day cake with forty burning
candles. Mr.. Markham had to
make the first cut, then came the
surn of other cold timers" and cv-
ry one present had a piece Of the
cake. Miss Markham had made
the cake and someone asked what
kind of a pan it was baked in but
she wouldm t tell. To judge from
It's size however it couldn't have
Oecn baked in pan at all but in
a tub. George and Arthur Fos-
mark rendered a beautiful duet
and then followed speeches from
the charter members present and
others who had been helping to
erect the old church. The follow
ing spoke and told about the prim-
tive conditions in the days of the
pioneers: Mr.. Markham, Mr.. j.
7. Thompson. Mr.. G. A. Barton,
Mr.. B. Reed, Miss Markham, Mrs.
McNair, Mr.. +. McClintock and
Mr.. Lindley. The two last named
declared that they had not had so
much to do with the work as they
were too young then, but they
were with their parents and they
had evidently observed things
that had escaped the grown-ups
and they represented families that
were gratefully remembered for
their share in the early struggles.
So did Rev. II. S. Ward, a child Of
the church and twice its pastor in
the years gone by. Rev. Ward
the new church and
preached the first sermon ever
preached in it. At the present
writing he has also preached the
last one, for he preached in the
evening stirring sermon on
Looking up in order to Accom-
plish." Mrs. j. p. Blackburn
read from DR.. Atwood's book
''Glimpses in Pioneer Life on
Puget Sound" part of the chap
ter dealing with the establishment
of Methodism on Vashon Island.
This reminiscent service will new
er be forgotten by those who had
the privilege to be present, and
all agreed that they would not
have missed it for anything. New
again will so many of the great
Did pioneers and their children be
gathered together. The most i'm
pressivc of it all was, perhaps, the
moment when four generations
stood up with father Markham
and were given great cheer.
Then the audience joined in
singing "Faith of our fathers
living still" and benediction by
DR.. Warner.
The singing by the FoSmark
Quartette, Mr.. Tom Steffanson
and the choir was greatly enjoyed

Let us see if we can find where Grandpa and Gramma Bear live!" Raggedy Ann said to Raggedy Andy as they were walking down the path through the deep. deep woods.
 Tt would be nice to visit them!" Raggedy Andy agreed. Maybe we can find the way."
 "Grampa Bear went in this direc- ton when he left Us after rescuing me from old Miggsy the magic maker" Raggedy Ann said. But l san see no path in that direction."
 And for very good reason!" a loud voice howled right in back of the Raggedys, and there came old Mlggsy, the magic maker. on run! T magtced the paths through this deep, deep woods and you cannot see theml"
 Miggsy though that he would cas- fly catch Raggedy Ann because she was made of cloth and stuffed with cotton, but he did not know how well Raggedy Ann could run. And even if her legs were loppy and they were twisted about as she ran, she could set over the ground quite fast
 So, when Miggsy first howled at then the Raggedys began running and Of course, Miggsy ran after them.
 The Raggedys ran this way and that way and old Miggsy ran this way and that way, trying his best to run faster than the Raggedys so that he could catch up with them, but the Raggedys were very spry and always kept ahead until Rag gedy Ann's apron caught upon a bush and held her.
 Aha" old Miggsy laughed. "Now l have you!" and he reached out to grab Raggedy Ann, but just before Miggsy could touch Raggedy Anne apron, the magical hobby horse, who had stopped a piece back in the woods 10 look at pretty flower, ran right between old Miggsy's legs and upset him. Then Raggedy Andy unfastened Raggedy Ann's apron and they ran again.
 Old Miggsy bumped his head up- on log when the hobby horse upset, but he hopped to his feet and ran after the Raggedys.
 They ran this way aLi that way again until they came to a funny little house, and as the front door was open, Raggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy dashed right in.

 In second the maindeck was flooded, and men, buckets, scrubbers, and stones were hurled pell-mell across to port all to crash together in one bruised, strangled heap as the ship rolled. Mir. Stevens hung on to the bars of the coop to preserve his footing. The sea lifted the coop; the laShines burst; the mate rolled away on the flood with the door of the coop in his hands; and in moment the glassy swells to leeward were dotted with high riding, squawking, doomed fowls that rose and fell and

 Honestly, I'll be good" I prom ised with a smile, "and I'll have the car in front of the railroad station at Forest Hills at o'clock this morning, barring accidents"
 Barring accidents" she repeated, well be there. If we're not, or you are delayed. telephone me here. If we get there and after a time you're not there, what shall I do, telephone the Durkees?"

 The taxicab was waiting as I passed through the door of the hotel, escorted by the courteous night clerk. Beside the driver sat an- other man apparently asleep and in so bent posture that no one could discern his features. A ridiculous tremor of nervousness shot through me, one at which I laughed when I found myself deposited safely at the railroad station.
 Not until after I had eaten my frugal breakfast at the lunch room, and was seated in the Eastern bound Long Island train did the identity of the muffled man occur to me. With sudden thought, I walked quickly through the train, seeing in one corner of another car. bent over a newspaper, the figure of Lee Chow.

The men knew better than to carry on. Drake had seen the film of wind creeping over the sky, which could not be seen during those confused moments down in the flooded waist. He would not lose precious time for a few fowls, Stevens mounted the poop ladder sullenly. Mary stepped aside and with difficulty refrained from screaming. She saw the two men face to face.

8 ON HEALTH
VEGETABLES IMPORTANT

If women in their quest for beau tiful complexion exercised as much care in the selection of vegetables for the table as they do in the se- lection of messages and face creams they would obtain more satisfactory returns.
 This is the conclusion of Mrs. Mann of Anytown after studying foods for health's sake.
 Many doctors prescription con- talns nothing more than the ele- ments contained in vegetables the housewife may buy for a few cents at the corner grocery.
 These elements are phosphates, calcium and iron. the very things to clear up muddy complexion, build up resistance in the body and make

 All of these are especially valu- able for iron and vitamin A, and some of these should be eaten every day.
