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.

dropped, then "sparagus" becante
"sparage," "spara-grass," and "spar-
