Brannigan Given Suspended Sentence

Brannigan Given Suspended Sentence
Thomas Brannigan of Santoy, was
given a suspended sentence to Mans
field Reformatory Monday by Judge
Price, after he changed his plea of
not guilty. Brannigan was charged
with taking a small amount of mon
ey from the depot at Sayre last July.
However, owing to the age and cir
cumstanees of the defendant and the
fact that he had not been before
convicted of crime, the court granted
the appeal of defendants counsel
and he was put on probation. After
the necessary papers are made out
in the next few days, Brannigan will
be given his liberty Attorney J. L..
Meenan represented him.-Times
Recorder.
1t will be recalled that Brannigan
was tried here recently, on the
charge of shooting with intent to kill,
and was acquitted. Immediately
following his acquittal, he was ar
rested here on the charge above re-
ferred to, and was taken to New
Lexington.

Too Much Enthusiasm.

Hank Dobbs was noted as an hon
est" horse trader. He would not lie
about horse. He would merely sup
press the truth. Incidentally he al
ways beat the customer who dealt
with him. The way he could slur over
the defects and buzz about the virtues
Of an animal amounted to genius.
Once Hank was trying to sell a
neighbor d horse that had an eye
which was nearly sightless. The
neighbor knew Hank would not lie
outright to him, so he questioned the
horse trader as to various points of
the brute.
"How about his sight? Can he see
out or both eyes?"
Sure said Hank, hes got good
eyes" Here he leaned forward, his
eyes fairly scintillating with suppress
ed honesty. "One eye is particularly
good"
Hanks enthusiasm for the truth had
carried him too far. The deal was
off.-TuIsa Post.

PROTESTANT RELIGIOUS EDUCATION COUNCILS
START CAMPAIGN TO RAISE $225,OOO
Money to Be AppOrtioned State and Counties for Re
ious Educational Activities.

Realizing that the fundamental ele
ments of nations strength are the
intelligence. and moral character of
it's people, Protestant churches Of
New Jersey will start a drive, com
mencing next Monday, with the object
of raising $225,0OO to be used in inter
UNCONVENTIONAL religious education of
the young folks of this state.
The Protestant Religious Educa
ton Campaign has been approved by
the various church denominations and
links the Protestant churches into
one common cause, namely, to raise
the means for maintaining schools of
religious instruction in the various
cities of this state. It is estimated
that the sum to be raised will finance
educational activities in both state
and counties for term of two years.
C. W. Shinn is general campaign
director, with headquarters at 979
Broad street, Newark. Mr.. Shinn
was formerly general secretary of
the Ohio Council of Religious Edu-
cation and for number of years
was general secretary of the Chicago
Council of Religious Education. Sam

quate instruction in religion is the
missing factor in our otherwise noble
system of American public education
'sThe public school tries hard to
build good character Back of its
lessons in conduct it sets the motive
Of patriotism. To the stronger mo-
tive OF religious faith it may not ap-
peal. That belongs to church and
home. So. with all its plant, faculty
and curriculum, it cannot secure
conduct controlled by high ideals.
without faith in God, morals are
In danger. On every hand we see

worthy studies but illiterate in re-

with more and better instruction,
combining with book study practice
in reverent worship and active Chris

merely safeguards against evil, but
builds lives in righteousness. In the

beginning to appear.

Regular air services were operated
In Sweden for the first time during
1924. All Of these were on sum
mer schedule, and included services
between Malmo and Hamburg, Stock
holm and Helsingfors, and Malmo and
Copenhagen. Although regular sched-
ules were followed on all three lines,
most of the traffic was ON the Copen-
hagen route, over which 246 trips were
made and 2.528 passengers carried.
The fact that on January 1, 1925,
there were 293 private individuals in
Sweden in possession of licenses for
operation of airplanes Is an indica-
'tion of the interest that has been
aroused IN civilian air services.

Pres. Coolidge Praises
Sabbath Schools

EFF this country is to meet sue
cessfuily the problems confronting
it today, there must be first OF all a
greater recognition of the spiritual
side of life; there must be more
widespread acknowledgment of
the obligation that we owe TO use
our power and strength for the
general welfare and redemption Of
humanity.
'sThe Sabbath Schools furnish
today the great agency by which
these spiritual ideals may be made
a part of the lives of the younger
generation of Americans, and the
growth of the schools viii mark
the spread of these principles.
