Subject Sabbath morning: Ascension day. No evening service. We
will join in a union Memorial Service in the M. E. church.
The young men's class in the Sabbath school has at last secured a
teacher they all so much desired, so
another of the difficult problems of
administration is satisfactorily settled.
Supplies for Children's day will
soon be here and plans for its observance are well under way.
The General Assembly is now in
session at S. Louis, Mo., and John
Willis Baer, of international reputation, is the first layman to be elected
moderator of the Assembly, an honor
to which he is entitled and a position of dignity and responsibility he
will ably fill. Judging from some of
the proposed enactments and the
progressive spirit of the discussions,
Presbyterianism is soon to depart
from some of its conservative opinions and place itself. in vital touch
with the .constructive rjrjagrams. ofthe day. The New Era movement is
evidently bearing fruit.
Chatting with some friends the
other day, I learned of an instance in
one of our rural schools where the
teacher was free to express herself
to the children as an avowed enemy
of the robin, because he ate cherries
to refresh his appetite. It seems
strange that in these days when
Audubon societies are having such a
wide influence, when so much is being said and written about the absolute benefit of birds to the farmer,
and when the nation is striving to
protect the migration of birds, that
amid such enlightening, elevating
and quickening conditions, it would
be. possible to find in any community
a teacher with the least degree Of intelligence who would still cling to
old and antiquated prejudices. Our
county superintendent and boards of
examiners for licensing teachers and
those who hire instructors* in our
schools, should see to it that each applicant is a friend of the birds, and a
lover of nature, even though the required standing in the acquired
sciences and method of normal training may be a billow.

FIFTH EPISODE
THE BBASS KEY
Wu Fang, triumphant; clutched the
ebony block which he had just taken
from Lightning  when   a  voice said.
"Don't kid yourself Wu.    Not yours,
mine," and, "The Wasp," with leveled pistol   just behind   Wu,   took the
block from the Chinaman and ordered him from the room.  Then he left
himself, but first   handed"   a note to
Lightning.   The girl and Norton eagerly opened   the   note   which   read,
'Meet me tonight  outside   Johnson's
shack.    You know the place. Wasp."
That night they kept the rendezvovs
md "The Wasp" was there. He handed th'e ebony block to Lightning ano
aid, "This is for'a debt I owe you*
Some day I'll tell you.    If you ever
need me tell me.   Good bye," and he
.anished  into the  night.    The   girl
and Tom could hardly realize that a'
last they had the ebony block in their
possession and, more, that it had been
given to them voluntarily.   They op-
sned it quickly and found nothing but
.a small brass key.    Both were dum-
founded for they believed they  had
been tricked.   However, Lightning as
ever, thinking fast, noted that the key
was hollow and proposed that they go
iioiie and file it.    They returned to
Tom's apartment and started on the
long task of filing the brass key open
without injuring its contents.    TJnfor-
unately, an aunt of Tom's chose th's
unpropitious hour  to  visit  him ana
-,*as shocked to find him with a girl
hi his rooms.   He told her that Lightning was a detective and they were
ttending to important business, but
tie aunt insisted that the girl leave
Tom's   rooms  at once,  so  Lightning
departed saying that they would take
he key to a locksmith early the next
morning.     Early    the   next morning
Lightning met Tom and they went to
a locksmith's but found six Chinam6n
nside and departed hastily.      Meanwhile Wu,*the crafty, took advantage
f   their absence to call on Tom's  aim",
md to inform her that her nephew
was consorting with a notorious girl
hief.    He added that the girl thief
ad stolen a famous heirloom—a brass
.ey—and unless  it was  returned  tc
iim he would have the pair arrested
.'he aunt left the room to look for the
ey and Wu placed a loaded revolver
n the mantle-piece so that it pointed
"-jwards   the   spot   where    Tom an'"
_ightning had worked on the key the
previous night.     Then   he   left and
went to a. room   across   the   stree'
-.vhence  he could  direct a powerfu
sun-glass on the revolver and at the
roper  moment  discharge  it.     Tom
.nd Lightning relurned and decide *
o finish the filing of the key then and
there.   While they were at their task
Wu with his sun-glass exploded th?
revolver, but Lightning, who sat directly   in front   of   its   muzzle, was
stooping to pick up the key from the
floor and the bullet passed harmlessly over her head.   Soon they had the
brass key  open  and took from  it a
capsule  containing  an address reading, "Michael TJgdell, Manton, N. Y."
This was at any rate a clue and the
next  morning  Tom   and     Lightning
boarded a train  for  Manton.    They
noted the   presence   of a number ot
Chinamen on the train and suspected
that Wu was following them but determined to go ahead on the journey.
Wu -enlisted the aid of the conductor,
told him that    Tom    and   Lightning
were thieves and had robbed him and
the pair were attacked by the conductor    and    the    Chinamen.      They
fought up and down the aisle of the
coach till they reached the rear platform of the last car.   Then surrounded and sure of losing the key and the
capsule, the boy and girl decided to
take  a desperate chance and as the
train was   crossing   the   river   on a
high bridge, both dove into the water
and soon   the   baffled   Wu observed
them swimming strongly for the nearest  shore.    "The Lightning Raider"
will be shown at the Liberty Theatre
on Friday of each week.

OBITUARY
A pall of gloom was cast over the
household of Webb E. DePuy by the
passing away of his wife on Tuesday,
May 13, 1919, of anemia.
Mabel Luella Frost was born November 7, 1875, in Macon, Michigan.
She was one of a, family of seven
children, five of whom, with the
mother, survive.
Mabel Luella, at the age of four
years, went to live with her grandparent, Thomas Marshall, where she
was tenderly cared for and received
religious training. At .an early ago
she became a member of the Methodist church. She lived a quiet, consistent life and was dearly loved by
all who knew her.
She was united in marriage with
Webb E. DePuy on June 12,1895, who
with two daughters axe left to mourn
i tender, loving wife and mother.
The remains were placed in the
aiausoleum in Oakwood cemetery.
[ cannot say and I will not say
That she is dead: she is Just away.
With a cheery smile and a wave of
the hand,
ihe has wandered into an unknown
land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
t needs must  be,  since  she  lingers
there.
And   you,   O  you,   who  the   wildest
yearn
For the  old time step   and the glad
return—
Think of her faring on as dear
in the love of there   as  the  love   of
here;
Think of them still   as  the   same, I
say:
She is not dead: she is just awoy.
CARD OP THANKS.
Words cannot express the gratitude
we feel to the kind neighbors and
>iends who so lovingly assisted us
luring the illness, and the passing
away of our dear wife and mother.
Words of sympathy, deeds of kindness and beautiful flowers were their
jfterings and we s"neerely appreciate
them.
Mr. Webb E. DePuy and daughters.
