of whose illness has been made, has
not been SO well the past few days
but at this writing seems to be

We noticed the wall of the clas-

fallen on our face with tears fall

very nicely, and if we find we need
a larger pair we think we know

For the present we will continue to
write in our own way, and wear the

The news of the death of Thomas
Colgan takes us back in memory
when the inhabitants round about
Salem were largely only recently
over from the old country. When
Brown, Gray, Thrapp and preachers
of that day held meeting at Salem;
when the building was crowded to
capacity; when these sturdy men
were in the corn fields along Meigs
creek husking corn for the farmers
before it was light, and worked un-
til night. But most of them soon
bought farms of their own. AS to
Tom COlgan, he was a good man. His
eldest son Frank who died at the
age of II was our boyhood friend,
and we will always remember our
feelings when apprised OF his death.
If we mistake not, Mrs. Colgan is
the last of the old set Of Irish pio-
neers in, that settled in Meigsville.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Haynes and

signed Saturday evening, and expect
ed to leave Monday for Columbus,
to accept another job or rather a

All Camp
The county All club camp will be
held at Camp Hervida in Washing
ton county, the last week in August.
From the inquiries being received at
the office relative to camp dates and
camp information, indications are
that our county will again this year
have a sufficiently large group en-
rolled to assure another successful
camp for Morgan county boys and
girls
Those boys and girls who are not
All club members, but who expect
to attend camp, should leave their
names and addresses at the county
agents office, so that they will be
placed on the mailing list to receive
camp information.
Campers this year are assured of a
fine program of recreation, vesper,
camp fire and dramatics, after the
three delegates sent to the district
camp returned last week with many
helpful suggestions for making the
camp program interesting and worth
while

1.-THE BEST LAID SCHEMES
AT CHAUTAUQUA
(By Isabel Bozman) }


Broadcast, then static and "at-
mospheric disturbance" on the very
first day, so we were disappointed in
which would open the assembly in
such good form. The day before
and the next day, every word came
clear and entertaining.
Another interesting scheme that
failed was our plan to meet Miss
Blanche Danford and her friend, of
Akron, so giving them welcome. In
plenty of~time we took our place at
the station to wait for the bus maxi
ing connection with the railroad at
Westfeld We soon became inter
ested in the4amount of traffic, and
surprised at the number of autos.
Enjoying also the beauty of the
evening and the full bloom of roses
covering the fence between the gar
ages and road, with groups of holly
hooks in front, the time went all too
rapidly. Meanwhile the. young
ladies came BY boat, which is the
ideal approach to the grounds, had
taken a taxi, and when we arrived at
the house were having supper at
the tea room on the next square,
remaining at our cottage over night.
We had breakfast together, and
then the question of registration
must be settled. Miss Danford will
attend the school of public school
music, conducted under the auspices
of the New York university. Sixteen
courses are offered in the term Of
six weeks. Opportunities for prac-
tice, teaching, and new methods of
school music.
This first week has been full OF
celebrities. An institute being held
on Problems Facing Our Country.
Mrs William Harden of Ohio; Fed
Grafton of woman's clubs challenges
women to inform themselves. The
chaplain of the week and orator of
July 4th, was Rev. Howard Parting

satisfactory. This is the first time
an Englishnlan has given the In
dependence day address from this
platform Miss Violet Oakley, said
by the Boston Herald to be the
greatest living woman painter, /"
has on exhibition at the hotel, a
large collection of her drawings,
paintings and etchings, -one attrac-
ton being the number of faces of
prominent men and women taken at

was. also a speaker in the institute.

@. /. What does 1t means to give up
all and follow Christ? Am I to give up
every pleasure and recreation? AS a
young man working in the city vary
my life by going to shows or the
movies Is this right or wrong?
2. Please explain Christs words in
st. Marks Gospel. chapter iv.10-13. I
A. /. This command does not forbid
pleasurable pursuits such as you name.
But it requires ChriSt's disciples to
abstain from all habits and practices
which are contrary to His teaching. If
you can sincerely invoke His blessing on
whatever you do, do 1t; If not, Danish
it from your life.
Aught that weakens our allegiance to
Him or binders our complete dedication
to His purposes should be forthwith
surrendered. Some dramatic presen-
tations poison the mind and enfeeble
the will. These are not for a professed
Christian. Others elevate the mind
and quicken the best feelings of the
heart These can be seen by any one
to advantage. A theatrical perform
ance which faithfully expounds life SO
as to give us a clearer understanding
of its divine nature and scope is a de-
cided acquisition for our spiritual cul-
ture.
But why apply this saying Of Jesus
10 S6COIlQdIy IldttCIS dlOIlcs SOIloAUcE
the brave missionaries, who in every
age have obeyed their Lord to the full,
making lasting severance from all
they dearly loved - parents, home,
friends and country-in order that they
might transmit the Gospel to their less
fortunate brethren.
If you want to know the range and
intensity of Sacriflcial obedience read
the accounts of Albert Schweitzer'S re-
Spouse to Africa's needs. He gave up
much man treasure to establish his
hospital at Lamberene, on that con-
tinent A great scholar and an ac-
complished musician, he, nevertheless,
placed all his gifts on the altar. What
he did thousands of elect souls OF the
faith have also done.
2. The words you indicate from st.
Marks Gospel explain the evangelist's
view of the aim of Christs parallels.
He chose this method OF instruction
because it was popular and interesting
and made His hearers think, while at
the same time it confounded the pref
udices of His opponents. But we must
remember that the hindranceS men
toned by St. Mark were self-induced by
bigotry and pride and were not part
of the deliberate purpose Of Jesus.
@. You have previously said that the
Old Testament is not as expllc1C on
the question of Immortality as the New
Testament I am jew and would like
to know the reasons for your statement.
A. TIE New Testament was written
by Jews, and for this boon we owe them
an additional debt of gratitude. They
were Christian believers who under
stood their ancestral scriptures and had
also experienced the regeneration of
the new faith. Hence the Second Epis-
tie of Timothy declares that Christ
abolished death and brought life and
Immortality to light through the gos-
pel' Q10). The writer of this letter
