 These 1o0.000 claims amount to about $2.9oo,0oo against the so,7oO,- 900 which includes interest to be re- turned and delay in settling the claims has been caused by difficulties in validating some of these claims, the receivers said.

 Of the $6,000,000 realized from the bond issue. s3.50o,00o was sent to Ireland. The Irish Free State started suit for the balance. which was con- tested by the Republican faction headed by Ramon de Valera. The court ordered the return of the money to the subscribers.

 "A woman has the right and duty ''o expect of her future husband the , no purity and faithfulness that
 bridegroom expects of his future oride," he said.
 A warning to avoid such places and things that are temptation to purity as unclean movies, the sex :timulating dance, a wild automobile party" was voiced by the pastor.
 The Rev. Mir. Hohenstein said reason and scripture protest against the union of believer with an un- believer. How can believers imperil their happiness and their salvation by associating with themselves in the nearest of all earthly relations. those who care not for Christ, laugh at Christianity. mock the Bible and heap scorn upon the Christian .hurch?"
