That pianist In Arthur Herbert's

Life in the after-dark haunts of the
village was not SO quiet during the
Republican convention as 1t is this
week when the clans are gathered in
Chicago. This week the walters
have time to gather in little clusters
and discuss politics. One at the
Roger Smiths Starlight Roof the
= other eve thought it would be fine
idea and serve every one darned well
right If the Democrats nominated
Willkie to run as Vice President
with Roosevelt. Fearing the altitude
would make us that light-headed,
too, we went away from there.
80 We went away from there and
found the Hi-Hat's Oscar having his
troubles. A celebrating shirt-sleeved
citizens had tried to come in, had
been told he couldn't without coat.
The Hi-Hat, as do number of other
spots, had supplied one for him and
that was all right with the celebrant.
But the moment he sat down he
promptly started removing the coat,
claiming cts too cold in here to
wear this" That was another place
from which we went away in q
hurry.
s's A girl we know has become
definitely not a baseball fan. The
other night she met a ball player,
one rather well known in the sports
world. His greeting, with a sort of
Mortimer Snerd delivery, was: Huh
You got pretty hair. Huh, huh. I
like redheads. Huh, huh. You
married? Huh" She hasn't been
quite the same since.
- Bert Bernath, who led the Pail
Mall Rooms Orchestra when the
Pail Mall Room was open, is de-
voting most of his time these days
to his legal practice, but he's found
one situation for which the legal
mind has no answer. The situation
is Billy, Bert's 3-year-old son.
Billy's attitude toward the law
seems to be one of respect, but the
same can't be said for his fathers
other profession. Whenever Bert
tries to reprimand his son for mis-
deeds about the house he is told,
Jaw, go on downtown and play your
fiddle"
80 Then there's the girl who has
become practically an habitue of
downtown cocktail spot which might
be the Mayfair. One eve she finished
work a bit ahead of time, rushed to
the Mayfair. Good evening"" said
Frank, the headwaiter, you're home
early tonight"
- Carr Van Sickler, Madrillon's
orchestra leader, on new music:
1--WE never try to be the first band
in town to play a new tune 1t
doesn't pay. We wait until we get
requests. If we play new song
before people are asking for it they
don't know what it is. And by the
time we get requests the boys in the
band are tired of the tune and grippe
every time they have to play it. So
we wait"

Malachi Demands Honesty Toward
God, Malachi 3:7-18, for Sunday
June %:
Malachi was the last of the Old
Testament books. He spoke in a
time of religious declension de-
nouncing the sins and abuses of Is
rael who were becoming selfish and
were ignoring God.
your fathers, We are gone away
from mine ordinance and have not
kept them. Return unto me and
will return unto you, saith the Lord
of Hosts. But We said, Wherein
shall we return? The sin of forget
ting God was long-standing. God
had planned ordinances that his
children might maintain their true
relations to him so that in not
keeping them they forgot God. The
simple truth that Gods presence is
a fact when he is truly remember
ed, runs through the whole Bible.
The question wherein shall we re-
turn" shows their insincerity for
they knew the answer.
V. g.. "Will a man rob God? Yet
We have robbed me, even this whole
nation" Too many fail to ac-
knowledge God to the point of CIV
ing for the work of His kingdom,
time, money, service, love, honor,
everything that belongs to Him.
Israel had robbed God because their
lives had grown spiritually cold and
had fallen into worldly ways. Those
who are worldly-minded make no
plan for the support of the work of
God, and yet these very people
would not want to be known as rob-
bers. There were national sins as
we'll as personal sins; hence verse
nine: "Ye are cursed with curse;
for ye have robbed me, even this
whole nation"
v. 10. Bring We all the tithes
into the storehouse, that there may
be meat in my house, and prove me
now herewith, saith the Lord OF
hosts, if l will not open the win
dows of heaven, and pour you out
a blessing, that there shall not be
room enough to receive it," They
were to return to God by returning
to Him his own. They had aban-
doned the temple service and so of
course did not worship with tithes
and offerings. Gods presence is
proved when one meets the condi-
tions, one being an acknowledgment
of Gods ownership of us and what
we have. Gods presence is known
by the outpouring of blessings.
V. II. "And / will rebuke the
devourer for your sakes, and he
shall not destroy the fruits OF your
ground; neither shall your vine cast
her fruit before the time in the

pitcher and R. Huck, catcher for the

The local boys played Philo, last
night on the Blackstone Vault dia-
mond, near GAINESVILLE.
Friday night the Miller Nor
ticians jorneyed to Byesville and
taught the Sikora Blue SoX a lesson
in softball to the tune of 6-2. This
team whipped the Millers last year
in the district tournament and the
local boys got sweet revenge. Pitch
er Lowell Palmer had the sox
swinging late on his fast ones and
breaking their backs on his change
of pace. Palmer handled them like
babies, getting the first IS men to
face him. In the fifth inning one
man bunted safe but made the mis-
take of trying to steal second.

V. 12. "And all the nations shall
callFyou blessed; for we shall be a
delightsome land, saith the Lord of
hosts" The evidence of Gods IA
vor in bringing to Israel good crops
and prosperity would be evident to
surrounding nations.
V. 13. Your words have been
stout against me, saith the Lord );
Yet ye say, What have we spoken so
much against thee?" These peo-
pie had reached the place, where
they not merely doubted in their
hearts but made open accusations
against God
V. IA. g Ye have said, It is vain
to serve God; and what profit is it
that we have kept his ordinance,
and that we have walked mourn
fully before the Lord of hosts?"
They had outwardly conformed to
religious observances, but they
could not see that this had profited
them anything. Probably their re-
ligion was only a matter of ex-
ternals.

proud happy; yea, they that work
wickedness are set up; yea, even
them that tempt God are even de-
Hvered.' The murmurers are still

The ones who were apparently sue
ceeding and who were therefor hap
py were the proud and the wicked;
they have wealth and families and
leave name behind them; they
provoke God and seem to escape.

the truly devout spake words re-
f1ecting trust and obedience. AS to

guage is used as would make clear
Gods omniscience.

FINE PIECE OF WOODWORK

The many visitors at the meeting
OF the Eighth District Ohio State
Medical association, at Rocky Glen
sanatorium, will see there on the
desk of Superintendent Harry A.
Phillips beautiful piece Of inlaid
wood, made by John NJ Scott, which
represents bouquet of flowers in a
vase. 1t is made up of 160 different
pieces of five kinds of wood-wal-
nut, red beech white maple, cherry
and spruce. Not a nail is used in
the construction, and the design has
more the appearance of being paint
ed, than of being cut out of wood
and glued together.
When 1t comes to working in
wood, Mr.. Scott has few equals.
