William Madison Beatty, son of
George w. and Mary E. Ward Beatty,
was born Feb. %, 1871, in Jackson
county, West Virginia; departed
this life Feb. 10, 1889, at his home
near Chesterhill, O., following an
illness of a few months from heart
to Dizzy Ashcraft, Aug. 13, 1905. To
this union were born four children,
Durward, Paul, Marjorie, at home,
and Mrs. Violet Balderson of Athens.
Mr.. Beatty was a victim of that dread
malady, asthma, SO never knew
robust health, nevertheless, he con-
tinually strove to give his best to
his family, materially, but especial
ly emphasizing the value of relig-
ious training and secular education.
Besides the immediate family, Mr..
Beatty is survived by four brothers
and three sisters-John of Parkers-
burg, w. Va; George of Hunting
ton, W. Va; Robert of Sharon, Pa;
Everett, Cleveland; Mrs. Margaret
Harvey, Sandyville, w. Va; Mrs.
Rebecca Henson, and Mrs. Susan
Richard Of Ravenswood, w. Va. He
was preceded in death by his father,
mother, one brother, Jacob, and one
sister, Mrs Lucy Ott In his young
manhood he accepted the call of his
Heavenly Father, and united with
the Sand Creek Baptist church, near
his home, and ever after was faith
full follower of his Lord and Master.
In coming to Ohio he brought his
membership to the South Canaan
Baptist church. Wherever the home
has been established, he and his
family have attended services at
the nearest church. He was a pa
tron of the grange.
Mr. Beatty was a devoted husband
and father. Few men knew greater
love and devotion for his family
than he. In his recent reading of
the Bible he had marked Job 14th
chapter, where Job entreateth God
for favor by the shortness of life,
and the certainty of death: eff
man die shall he live again? All the
days of my appointed time I will
wait till my change come. Thou
will call and will answer thee"
The following relatives and friends
were in attendance at the funeral:
Mr.. and Mrs. r. A Beatty, Sharon,
Pa; Miss Margaret Ashcraft, B.

V. 43. ITO him gave all the
prophets witness, that through his
name whosoever believeth in him
shall receive remission of sins. "
Peter now brings in the testimony
of the prophets and made it clear
that Cornelius, moral man that he
was, was sinner since salvation
came by faith in Christ, who to be a
Saviour saving people from their
sins, calls for repentance that re-
mission of sins may be exercised.
VS.. Al, As. "While Peter yet
spake these words, the Holy Ghost
fell on all of them which heard the
word" Here was a Gentle pente-
cost corresponding to the pentecost
experienced by Christ's first follow
ers. Evidently they heard we'll The
power of God when it has the right
Of way works surprises.
VS.. 46, At. "Then answered Peter,
Can any man forbid water, that
these should not be baptized" Bap-
tism, the church's recognition of an
accepted follower of the Lord, was
due these new Gentle Christians.
V. AZ. 'Then prayed they him to
tarry certain days" Here was a re-

JEWELER and OPTOMETRIST

Peter breaches to Gentiles, Acts
10:3048, for Sunday, March S:
There are two scenes preceding
this lesson that furnish the setting,
namely the angels visit to Cornelius
and Peters vision at Joppa; these
are described in the preceding vers-
es.
v. 80. "And Cornelius said,
-Four days ago / was fasting until
prayed in my house, and, behold a
man stood before me in bright cloth
ing" This was Cornelius answer
to the question Peter asked on his
arrival. II therefore ask why you
sent for me?" Purposes and motives
are vital in right action.
V. 81. "And said Cornelius, thy
prayer is heard, and thine aims are
had in remembrance in the sight of
God" Cornelius was a Gentle but
a good, moral man with the works
OF professional follower of Christ.
V. 80. "Send therefore to Joppa,
and call hither Simon, whose sur
name is Peter; he is lodged in the
house of one Simon a tanner by the
seaside; who when he cometh, shall
speak unto thee" The angel him.
self could have preached to Cor
nelius but God chooses to work
through human agencies. Race and
class prejudice was pretty well elm
mated in Peter since he was lodging
with a tanner who was in a deSpise1
class.
V. "a. "And Immediately there
fore l. sent to thee; and thou hast
we'll done that thou has come. Now
therefore we are all here present be-
fore God, to hear all things that are
commanded thee Of God" This was
al ideal congregation in attendance,
open -mindedness, and in a desire to
act upon the truth heard.
VS.. "a, 35 '"Then Peter opened
his mouth, and said, OF a truth /
perceive that God is no respecter OF
persons; but in every nation, ne
that feareth him and worketh right
eousness, is accepted with him.
Peter proceeds with courtesy with
no racial prejudice; but that moral
man may not feel justified before
God, Peter keenly uses the phrase
she that feareth God' which calls
for reverence and deep devotion TO
God so that the salvation steps may
be duly taken.
VS.. 36-39 "That word, | say, ye
know. How God anointed Jesus or
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
with Power, who went about doing
good, and healing all that were op-
pressed of the devil; for God was
with him. And we are witnesses or
all things which he did" Peter pro-
duces facts beyond any controversy
that Christ was the Messiah but IN
addition to that he goes on record
as a witness so he could speak with
authority
VS.. 40, Al. Him God raised up
the third day and showed him open
ly: not to all the people, but unto
witnesses chosen before Of God, even
to u.s. The most convincing fact
that Christ was the Messiah was his
resurrection and to this fact declares
himself witness; here his sermon
takes on new power, so that verse 80

 coaxing. This is not always futile where the shy or timid child is con- cerned, but usually it is. However, if little boy or girl, afraid of water can be coaxed to take of his shoes and wade in a sunny shallow creek, he may suddenly feel surge of vic- tory and delight. If he tis too set in his fear, coaxing may only irri- tate him and make him worse.

This stunning round-the-clock dress takes you from desk to date in high style. Made in two pieces Claire Tilden's Pattern 923 has that quietly expensive" air of superb tailoring and quick-to-the-tjgure lines. The tour-piece skirt has a spirited swing, yet smoothly rounds your hips. Isn't the top delightful ly new and young, with that front panel curving gracefully around to the back peplum-effect. And do notice the side gathers - they're really marvels of dressmaking, for they soften your bustline to make you look smaller if you're too heavy and larger if you're too flat. Scal- loped collar and cuffs, perhaps of light contrast, will add radiantly youthful touch, but a plain, round neckline is equally smart, especially with clips sparkling at either side. Take your choice of long, three quarter or above-t -the-elbow sleeves
 and get busy on this frock right now!
 Pattern 923 is cut in misses and women's sizes 12, IA, 16, IS, 20, 30, g, 34, 36, 38 and 40. Size 16 requires 4 yards 39 inch fabric and 1-2 yard contrast.

WOlMAN,S REALM E
Glorting Yourself
By Alicia Hare
NEA Service staff Wrlter


 The hourglass figure becomes more important by the minute. Un- like many new fashion which is shouted about for few months then dropped completely, the slim waisted silhouttee with full bosom and rounded hipline is likely to be with us for months and months, if not years.
 Unless your waistline is slender and your stomach and diaphragm quite fiat, you simply cannot expect to be fiattered by clothes that are cut to emphasize every line in the middle of the body. However, your hips may be rounded instead of straight as they had to be few years ago before the silhouette be- came so feminine.
 HORSEGLASS"
 EXERCISES
 The smart thing to. do, therefore, is to gO in for special exercise rou- tines to decrease dimensions through the midriff. If you can afford to go to an exercise salon to have the job done quickly and painlessly for you, fine and dandy. If not, here are a few exercises which, if done regu- larly and correctly at home, ought to do the trick
 The Bicycle not new but simply excellent): Lie fiat on the floor with arms at sides. Now lift legs until they are perpendicular to your body supporting hips with hands. Keep ing head fiat and hips well off the floor, make believe that you are rid ing bicycle up steep hill, then down the hill. Pedal slowly and de- iberately for one minute, then fast and furiously for another minute.
 The Bender: Sit on the floor with legs far apart and arms out-stretch- ed in front of you at shoulder level. Swing body forward, touching right foot with left hand. Reverse, touch- ing left foot with right hand. Do this rhythmically-to music, if impossible. Repeat twenty times.
 Pick of the Lot (the very best flat and firm); Lie flat on the floor with arms folded on chest and ankles to- gether. Without moving arms, sit up, then return to prone position. Nov lift legs until they are perpendicular to your body, then lower them slowly. Do this to the count of four-one, up; two. down; three, legs up; four, legs down. And remember that the more slowly you do each step, the better. Do not unfold arms until you have finished the fourth step. This should be done no more than ten times a cay until you are quite used to it.
 The Stretcher: Stand on bare toes, lift arms toward the ceiling and walk around the room. Pull your upper body up and away from hips. Hold stomach in, chest high and backbone as straight as possible. Breathe deeply. And stretch, stretch, stretch until it hi1rts-literally.

 A puppy of his own may do the trick when he sees that it depends on him for kindness and gentleness. And, by the way, Chis part of it is very important.
 The dog will grow, and by asso- citation Billy may learn to trust more dogs and be relieved of his misery.
 Darkness may be his bugbear. A tiny light at night, gradually re- duced, may encourage his trust.
 A very low sliding board, raised bit from week to week, may over- come his unwillingness to "get his feet off the ground" Thus it works.
