The oft-repeated statement that the
present worldwide economic upset,
with consequent unemployment and
suffering, has bred selfshness, was
utterly disproved last week here.
The U. B. church in Loeb Lynn
needed a new roof, but there was a
shortage in the treasury. The prob
lem, however, was quickly solved by
volunteer workmen. Approximately
twenty men, among them were skilled
carpenters, shed their coats and
donned their overalls, tied on their
aprons, grabbed their tools, and went
to work. In couple of days the
much needed roof was on, and every
one was happy. The members of the
organization were happy because Of
the new roof, and the workmen were
happy because they had unselfshly
and without pay performed a good
deed. 1t is true there was no money
payment. And it is also perhaps true
that there were some, perhaps many,
to whom couple of days pay would
have loomed large in their daily
budget. That fact, however, didn't
enter into their calculations. The job
needed to be done They did it.
But it was worth the effort just
to sit down to two dinners prepared
and served by the ladies of the church,
who have no superiors when it comes
to setting out meals for hungry men.
And did they eat! Well, I'm telling
you.
The temperature is still at the
freezing point at night, so it may be
that the prediction of Mr.. Murray
White, past master in prophecy, will
be fulfilled. You remember that about
the first Of April he predicted seven
more SHOWS. Well, we have had six
of them. Records show that on the
9th of this month last year one OF
the deepest SHOWS Of the season fell.
Apparently this is going to be a
great year for flower bloom. The
writer has thousand buds (count
'em) on a row of lilac bushes. Hope
they are not caught in frost depres-
sion.
