BRISTOL TOWNSHIP AND
MEIGS VALLEY GRANGE

| In order to clear the many differ
ent stories being circulated. con-
| cerning payment of rent made to
Meigs Valley grange, desire in this
| way to make an explanation.
In the old records of Bristol
| township, / find the board of trus-
tees of the years Of 1917-1918 paid
for the. privilege Of meeting in pri-
vate homes. The amount anywhere
from SO to s8. This amount paid
for light, fuel and janitor work.
In 1925 Meigs Valley grange
built the new hall The board of
year 1926 used the hall for meet
ing place. When the next board of
trustees elected in 1929, replaced
the old board, they continued to use
the hall for meetings, and the fol
lowing board from 1880 to 1885,
and the present board used the hall
at different times, the grange fur
all janitor work. At no time had
the township ever paid one cent for
the use of this hall. Our attention
was called, by a representative of
the state grange to the fact that
Meigs Valley grange was some ST.
zoe in debt on the building, and the
trustees of Bristol township had for
tne past Ii years uSed the Dulld1nS
without ever paying compensation
in any way for the privilege. He
furthermore asked that we pay
reasonable amount for the use of
this building. At our next meeting
the matter was discussed and we
agreed to settle with the grange for
the sum of $100, to pay for all rent
due Meigs Valley grange to date. |
The clerk was authorized to write
the warrant, and it was signed by
the trustees. 1t is true we have a
township building that could have
been used for meeting place, a |
part of the time, but with a cost of |
fuel, light and janitor work, it |
would have cost the township at |
least the amount paid for the use
of the hall, and since the hall was /
used for the past ] 1 years in prefer /
ence to the township building. / be-
lieve the rent of 800 for this hall !
was just and reasonable.
The grange in acknowledging re-
ceipt of payment, granted Bris i
tol township the privilege of using /
it's hall at any time, for trustee |
in the future free of eX
pense. In considering this matter.
as a township trustee, did so to the !
best of my ability I thought at the
time | was right, and l still think
I was right. and I will continue to !,
do so, until proven ! am wrong

Christian Renewal, Titus BILL,
for Sunday, Oct. "a:
What ought to be our attitude to-
ward rulers with whom we can not
agree?
What evidences are there of the
kindness of God?
How is mans salvation dependent
upon God?
- What relation is Christian faith
to Christian service?
In what sense ought Christian
separate himself from the world?
Glorious says: ''The abundant life
which we have only in Christ ex
tends into every sphere of life. I'm
der control of Christ, better habits
follow which make for a more
abundant life. The light emanat-
ing from Christ insures a more
abundant mental and spiritual life. u
Lesson prayer: eve would be
both loyal to God and our govern
ment and pray for such firm convic-
tons regarding Christ and His way
Of life, that we might function with
righteousness in all realms"

Christian Renewal, Titus 3:1-11,
for Sunday, Oct "a:
Titus, one of Paul's helpers, was
placed in charge of the church on
the island Of Crete: to whom Paul
writes this letter of instruction.
V. 1. "Put them in mind to be in
subjection to rulers, to authorities,
to be obedient, to be ready unto ev-
cry good work" Inhabitants of
Crete were subjects of the Roman
Empire of which the worship of
Caesar was the required religion.
Christians were under suspicion,
and to avoid unnecessary offense
Roman laws; only when their loyal
ty to Christ had to be renounced,
were they justified in civic disobed-
ience. Religious freedom is a Chris
tian principle.
". g. ITO speak evil of no man,
to be no braWlers, but gentle, show
ing all meekness unto all men. !"
Never injure another's reputation.
If a brother is wrong, see him per-
sOnally rather than talk about him
to others. When proceeding with
gentle spirit, no harm will follow
All we have really comes from God.
and no one has right to be proud
because of his possessions. This
fact ought to keep us humble and
gentle.
V. 8. "For we ourselves were
sometimes foolish, disobedient, de-
ceived, serving divers lusts and
pleasure, living in malice and envy,
hateful, and hating one another"
BY introspection and by recalling
times when we were not our best,
we can see how we were foolish,
and because of this fact we ought to
be charitable to others that are
foolish.
v. A. "But after that the kind
ness and love of God our Saviour,
toward all men, After we have
seen the kindness and love of God
toward us, we ought not to be dis
obedient and walk after the flesh,
hating each other
V. 5. mot by works of right
eousness which we have done, but
according to his mercy he saved
us, by the washing of regeneration.
and renewing of the Holy Ghost"

in~law of the deceased. Solos were
sung by Mrs. A. N. Kishler of New
Lexington and Mr.. II. c.. Betz. Mrs.
G. w. Lowell served as organist.
The Masonic order conducted their
ritualistic service at the church.
There were large number of beau
tiful floral pieces. Those serving as
pail bearers were nephews of the
eceased-Clarence Hivnor and
Ralph Hartman of Zanesville; Le-
roy McMillen and Wilbur Acheson,
Columbus; Kenneth Stalker, Duncan

Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1937-10-21

We do works of righteousness be-
cause we are saved, and not in or
der to be saved. When there was
no good in us, God showed his mer-
cy in loving us simply on the ground
of our repentance and faith.
V. 6. (Which he shed on us
abundantly through Jesus Christ
our Lord The whole history of di-
vine love eliminates in the cross,
and this is the witness of Gods love
that pierces the cloud of darkness
around about His throne and let's
the light of His heart shine out.
" 7. 'That being justified by
his grace, we should be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal
life Here is the fundamental
principle of salvation which Paul
continually emphasizes. This fact
explodes the theory that man saves
himself by his own effort, or be-
cause of any righteousness of his
own. The soul life is renewed by
exercising faith and expressing it
in deeds based on this Christian
doctrine.
V. 8. "This is a faithful saying,
that they which have believed in
God might be careful to maintain
and profitable to men" Paul calls
attention. to the Christian principle
in the preceding verse, which he
exhorts Titus indirectly to make
practical by having the members of
the church in Crete "maintain good
works" A church that succeeds
must be evangelistic; such church
has a large attendance and intense
interest with good reports of King
dom service.
v. 8. "But avoid foolish ques-
tiOns, and genealogies, and conten-
tions. and strivings about the law;
for they are Improbable and vain. !"
Foolish questions are those asked
regarding trivial and Improbable
things, or things beyond our COM
prehension, or questions which inn
ply that the questioner's opinion
was right and others wrong, or
questions for a mere argument.
V. 10. "a man that is hereto.
after the first and second admoni-
ton, reject" 1t never pays to ar
que one into the Kingdom. 1t is
better to leave him alone until such
time as he will be receptive of Gods
truth. If let alone, he may be self
condemned later.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS

No disease is perhaps receiving
the attention with the thought of
completely eliminating it from the
United States, as is infantile pa
ralysis.
Twenty-one of the richest men of
the nation have aligned themselves
with President Roosevelt to furnish
not playing any part in this pro
gram, as these men are withhold
ing their names from the public
They realize the terrible handicap
for child to go through life a Grip
pie, and they are making it possible
with almost inexhaustible funds for
research laboratories to be estab.
lished for the study of this disease.
Aid will be offered those who con
will be established in the larger
centers where expert consultants
can be found. Occupational insti-
tutes will be organized to give ev
cry child position with some work
that they can do.
Infantile paralysis was discussed
by two eminent physicians from the
University of Cincinnati medical col
lege. at the eighth district medical
o., last week. They stressed the
fact that children overtaxed by work
or play are more prone to contract
the disease, and they suggested that
parents guard their children during
the summer and fall months, in
seeing that they receive the proper
amount of sleep, good food, etc, and
that they are not Overworked.
No prophylaxis has yet been dis
covered in any form of incubation,
but a one percent solution of zinc
sulphate in form of nasal spray
used in each nostril several times a
day, is being recommended, and is
thought to have very decided bene-
fetal results. All public health Of
