UNION UNION, GODERICJI TOWN- SHIP, March 3.—Mr. Reg. Fuller and Mr. Norman Fuller spent last - Thursday in Lbrulon: Card Party Held.—A card party was held in Union School last Tuesday evening to raise funds for Overseas Relief. A fair crowd was in attendance and 11 tables of winners for five hundred were Mrs. Geo. Mathers, Mrs. Gerald Orr, Mr. Carl Sowerby and Mr. Richard Porter, and for euchre Winners were Mrs. Noah Geromette, Mrs. Sam Westlake, Mr. D. Lassaline and Johnnie Simmons. Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Van den Leuvel, natives of Holland, ,but now resi- dents of the community were called on for a few words, and told of conditions in their homeland. The offering Was very gratifying. and together with some donations received since amounted to $46.00. Mr, Robert Sowerby moved a hearty vOte of thanks to those pre- sent for coming and helping to make the evening a success. Said the dersser to the actress: "There's a man at the door- who insists on coming in.' "Did you ask for his oard?" in- quired the star. "Yes,,, but he only laughed and tried to kiss me." "Oh, let him in," said the actress. "That's my husband!"• THE _VOICE OF BETHEL REV. HOWARD E. MINAKER OUT OF. THE MOUTHS OF BABES.' "Daddy," said a little boy as he climbed to his father's knee, and looked into his face as earnestly as if he understood the importance of, Xhe subject, "daddy, is your soul insured?" '-'What are you thinking about, my son?" replied the agitated father.,."Why Ao you ask that question?" • "Well, daddy, I heard Uncle George say that you had your house insured, and your life insured; but he didn't believe you had thought of your soul, and he was afraid you would lose it; won't you get it insured right away?" The father leaned his head on his hand, and was silent. He owned broad acres of land that were cOvered with a bountiful produce; his barns were even now filled with plenty, his build- ings were all well covered by insurance; and as if that would not suffice for maintenance of his wife and only child in case of his decease, he had, the day before, taken a life -policy for a large amount; yet not one thought had he given to his owii immortal soul. On that which was to waste away and become part and parcel of its native dust he had spared no pains; but for that which was to live on and on through the long ages of eternity he had made no provision. "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give In extihange for his soul?" Mark •8:36-37. SPONSORED BY THE BETHEL ADULT BIBLE CLASS.

Vegetables -Origin of Their Names ASPARAGUS The word asparagus likely came a prong, or the ancient Lithuanian "spurgas," a sprout.

In medieral Wtin the first "a" was dropped, then "sparagus" becante "sparage," "spara-grass," and "spar- row -grass" (the last mentioned name was in standard ose until the end. -of the 1Sth centurY).
