How time in the course of events
changes. For instance, for many years
there stood and yet stands stone
building that was built in pioneer
DAYS to be used as a house of wor-
shin by the German Presbyterlans OF
Rockville. 1t was in this church that
early settlers with their families gath
cred every Sunday to hear the doc
trine of religion propounded to them
The old settlers have all gone to the
land that knows no returning and the
Younger element are scattered to Diff
ferent parts of the country and the
once famous little church was left to
go almost to decay. Having occasion to
pass through Rockville few days
ago the writer observed sign over
the door of this once little house of
worship that reads: Tourists Rest
Room" which unquestionably means
soft drink parlor or whatever name
you might choose to call it.
The high school closed for the term

partments enjoyed picnic on the
