CAVEN SUNDAY SCHOOL
BENEFITS BY BEQUEST
The death of Mrs. William Baw
den whose funeral took place in Exe
ter on Monday now makes Caven
Presbyterian Sunday School the leg
atees of an estate left by Mrs. Baw-
den’s sister, Miss Willis.
Miss Willis died in Michigan in
1930 and by her will, alter certain
specified legacies were paid to nep
hews and nieces, the residue was in
vested and Mrs. Bawden enjoyed the
income during her lifetime.
The bonds valued at $6,600 will
no|v become the property of the Ca-
veh .Sunday School. Gladman & Stan
bury are the Canadian representa
tives of Miss Willis’ estate. An in
teresting feature in connection with
the bequest is the fact that at the
Time the American funds were paid
over to the Canadian solicitors the
oxchange worked to the advantage of
the recipients making a difference of
between six and seven hundred dol-
. lars.

in Clinton. Forty years ago he mov
ed to London where for many years

BIBLICAL DRAMA IS
WELL RECEIVED •
The young people of the CTediton
Evangelical church presented a Bib
lical drama entitled “A Sinner Be
loved” at the evening service in
James Street United church on Sun
day. The drama was given from a
la-ige platform and those taking part
were dressed in colorful icostume and
the lighting effects .added to the ef
fectiveness of the dirama. Miss M,
McMaster announced the setting of
the drama and those taking part. It
portrayed the chief events in the life
of Hosea, the prophet and was di
vided into three scenes. First, the
spirit of Love .and the spirit of Hate
disputing for the possession of the
prophet. The second scene showed
the market-place of the city of Sa
maria; the slave dias, the merchants
selling their wares. From the mer
chants we learned that Hosea mar
ried a beautiful worldly, woman,
Gomer. In the course of time 'they
had three children whom Hosea nam
ed with names of God’s wrath be
cause the people of Samaria were
turning from God to things earthly.
One day Hosea returned ‘to his home
to find his wife gone. She had sold
herself to Gael, the High Priest of
Astoreth, false God of things earth
ly. For some time she was seen in
his grove, then she disappeared. Ho
sea found her on the slave market
block and brought her back. The
third scene showed where the spirit
of Love wins. The characters' which
were all vfell taken, were as follows:
Hosea, Lawrence Wein; Gomer, Ruby
Finkbeiner; their three chidren, Al-
donna Wuerth, Ray Morlock and
Calvin Fahrner; Spirit of Love, Mar
guerite Amy; Spirit of Wrath, Alvin
Finkbeiner; Gaal, the High Priest,
Emmerson Wein; merchant's, Gordon
Ratz, Harry Hirtzel; shiek, Eldon
Smith; slave girls, Gertrude Amy,
Norma Finkbeiner; crowd, Emery
Fahrner, Gladys Batz and Lavina
Smith; seller of slaves, Irvine Fink
beiner. At the conclusion of the ser
vice members of 'the W. A. served a
light lunch to the visitors. There was
a good congregation in spite of the
fact that the roads were almost im
passable. The Crediton y-ouii'g people
came out in a. sleigh.

But for the presence of mind of
J, Willis Powell in breaking
some windows in his home early on
Friday morning last a tragedy might
have been the result as two members
of the family had been overcome by
coal gas fumes. Mr. Stephen Po
well, aged 84 years, had* risen about
seven -o’clock in the morning and
shortly after getting out of bed he
collapsed on the floor. His falling
aroused other members of the fam
ily who found him unconscious- and
at first believed him to have suffer
ed a stroke. His son Willis tried to
assist him while Mrs. Powell went
down stairs to phone for a doctor.
Mr. Powell called to his daughter
Marion and as she entered the room
she, too, fell in a faint without
speaking a word. (Mr. Powell realiz
ing the house wa's filled with gas
fumes quickly broke a pane of glass
in several of the windows allowing a
current of fresh air to fill the room.
No sooner had he done this than he
himself was affected and he became
unconscious. Dr. Dunlop arrived
soon after and i’t was not long be
fore all three were around again.
The coal gas came from the furnace
which had been banked the night
before.
