He was married a second time
to Miss Bertha Sexton on Deem
Der II, 1927. To this union were
born three children, one having
preceded him in death. Those
surviving are: c. L. Price and
Lester Price. His wife, Mrs. Ber-
tina Price, one foster son, Burton
Miller, and one brother, Bill
Price, all of Lansing, and "a
grandchildren also survive.
Brother Price professed hope
in Christ and joined the Sabbath
Home Baptist church in 1887 and
lived faithful Christian life UNI
til death. The companion has
lost a loving husband, and the
children loving and devoted
father, but our loss is his eternal
gain.

about it. It is much harder to hold
a marriage together happily then
it is to make it. The nearest per-
lection we find in marriage, is
a perfect willingness to ''give and
take" That is what too few mar
ried couples are willing to do.
They are putting a Is cent plant
in a 81 hole.
The same thing is done in a
home when children come. I have
been with many fathers and moth
erS when the first child came.
They were willing to spare no
expense for the first arrival. The
husband goes with his wife to the
hospital for the first baby, few
erishly PAGES up and down while
she is in the delivery-room, re-
ioices enthusiastically when the
baby arrives, then goes out to tell
all of his friends about it. But
when that baby grows up into a
child who always Graves first the
companionship Of his parents
they are busy at other things
Another case Of a Is cent plant
in 81 hole.
All of this doesn't make sense
but most of us do it. The trouble
is we don't stop to think.

Janet was still white with dis

envy, Cliff"
He took her hand. cit was nv

MIR. Prentice, fastening his brief
case smiled thinly. There's
something about the reading of a
will that releases inhibitions to
the surface. I've seen it happen
often"

didn't"
II thought you might have per-
suaded him to call off his repri-
mand. 1t seems strange he hasn't
said anything about the operation
i know he and Windell had
their heads together"
"Perhaps he felt he wasn't ex-
perienced Or old enough to criti-
CHE you, Cliff"
Hes thirty-four - eight years
older than l am, and he's been
a resident physician at Cosmo-
politan Hospital for three years"
well, if you asked him he'd
probably tell you-he might just
happen to approve of your per-
formance."
She bit back the retort that rose
to her lips. She certainly had
no intention of repeating her con-
Versation with Richard Eynon. It
was evident that DR.. Windell had
tried to make matters clear and
Cliff had failed to understand.
She knew he had planned TAX
ing her out for dinner tonight,
out he rather sullenly reminded
her, she pleaded headache and
they separated at the hospital
steps.
Janet walked to the balustrade
and stared off over the city.
"Tired, Janet?"
She jerked in surprise and spun
around. Richard! l didn't see
you there"

"But Mrs. Gremont sounded,

said, perhaps she intends fight
ing the will"
"She has no grounds, Miss Har-
ris. Mr.. Hartigan knew what he
was doing. I disapproved when
l read it, but now I'm inclined to
feel he was justified"
From J. D. Prentice this was
high praise.

The Everyday
Counselor
Rev. Herbert Spaugh, ID. ID.

Why spend dollar digging a
hole then put a Is cent plant in
it? That sounds silly, yet figur-
atively speaking, it is common
practice. I have seen many a
church buy an expensive pipe
organ, then employ a cheap organ
list to play it. A pipe-organ is
no better than the organist who
plays it. happen to be an organ
list myself, and know that. Many
church is getting $1,000 value
out of a $4,000 organ, simply
because they won't spend enough
money to employ a good organ
ist and maintain the instrument
in good condition.
We do the same thing about the
house we build. We scrimp, save,
go into debt for a period Of years
to buy nice house and furnish it.
Then the family spends very lit
tie time in it. Try to find them in
the daytime and they are either
at work or play away from home.
In the evening they crowd the
picture shows, places of enter
tainment, the highways. Ask the
minister who tries to make pas
toral calls. He will tell you of the
small percentage of people he
finds in these homes. The finer
they are, the more difficult it is
to find the occupants. They are
putting a Is cent plant in a 81
hole.
We do the same thing with
the home itself. The home is an
institution, not simply a house.
Many man has spared no expen-
Sc which he could possibly afford,
to secure the woman of his choice
as his wife. Women are doing the
same thing these days if we are
to judge by the number of art
icles written telling women how
to secure husbands. Then they 60
to the marriage alter and think
they will live happily ever after
without doing anything much

a formal garden kept by Mr..
Miles, but to the left the twisted
oak gave way to an orchard ex-
tending to the river. Here the
air was saturated with the hon.
eyed fragrance of pear, apple and
cherry and throbbing with the
hum of bees.
Cliff took Janet's hand and
they walked down the lane of
trees, to Clear River. The water
sparkled for width of hundred
feet before waving fields of grain
took over.
'sWhat will you do with it ALP"
81 don't know, I'm still in a
daze."
He slipped his arm around her
waist drawing her closer to him.
cts too fine a day to worry
look at me, Lovely
She did so, staring deep into
his dark boyish eyes.
"Janet. I'm in love with YOU
I think that entities me to kiss"
She had known Cliff for over a
year; she had kissed him before.
His lips upon hers now were
warm and seeking, but he sighed
when he released her.
Janet, you kiss me exactly
as though I were small boy
who had bumped his head and
had to be soothed"
She laughed, cts just your
imagination, Cliff" But he had
come so close to guessing. Why
did she feel almost maternal with
him? Was it because as Richard
Eynon had said that Cliff needed
something to wake him up?
''By the way, Cliff, you never
told me if DR.. Winde1l congratu-
lated you On the operation?"
well - it wasn't quite what
I'd expected, Janet. He said the
work was professional, but he
didn't think my attitude was Sc
rious enough
perhaps he saw you wink at
me-"
"He couldn't have" he laugh
ed. II winked on the side away
from him. Oh, Windell is a regu-
lar old kill-joy-he doesn't have
any fun himself and he doesn't
want anyone else to-"
well, a hospital isn't exactly
a place for fun. Richard said
that doctor always has a dead
ly opponent at his elbow"
He was staring at her pecu-
liarly, "Richard?"
''Dr. Eynon."
II didn't know you called him
Richard"
II didn't until recently. We
had dinner together last Monday,
and the formality of Miss Harris
and DR.. Eynon was too much for
U.S."
"Well, that's enlightening news!
So you're dating Eynon now

He asked her no more ques-
tons, but the afternoon was spoil
ed. In spite of all her efforts
at conversation, even flattery in
small doses, his mouth dropped |
petulantly and his eyes were dis
trustful.
AS they drove back to the hos

irritation increased. He had been
helpful today; she hadn't wanted
to face those strangers alone and
Cliff defended her, but this I'M
