Tata LATE DR. KAY The following was the leading ed- itorial in the Lapeer County Press, Lapeer, Mich., on April 23rd, relat- ing to the death of a gentleman well known to many in Clinton and vicin- ity: "When news of the death of Doctor Kay was heard in Lapeer last Wed- nesday there were hundreds here and around the ,countryside who felt that in his passing they had lost a dear personal friend. During the many years of practising medicine in At- tica and Lapeer ho had net only been the family doctor in hundreds of hooves but had been the family coun- selor and friend. Babes whom he had helped usher into this world grew to manhood and womanhood and came to him with their problems, and perplexities, sor- rows and joys. Always he had time to listen and givo kindly advice and a helping hand. No matter what time a day or night a call came from the distressed„ Dr. Kay answered the summons. No question as to the fine an,eial responsibility of the party cal- ling ever entered his mind. He went where he was needed. His task was to alleviate the sufferings of human- ity, regardless whether those people might be careless about remember- ing the account afterward. He exemplifiedthe kindly old-time country physician at his best. His personality and kindly, cheery man- ner in the sick room was probably more potent than his medicine and accounts for the faith that his ,and had in his ministering to than and, even persisted in caning to him for counsel after he had discontinued private practise, Though busy with his many affairs as superintendent of the Michigan State Rome and Training School, one of the largest institutions of its kind in the world, he always took time to talk and coup- sol with these former patients, though never snaking a charge far such services. Dr. Kay will long be remembered by people in all walks of life for his many acts of kindness to thein. P'er- smelly, we feel that we have lost a good friend and a true 'one." , LIBERAL CLUB, MET The Women's Liberal Club of Clinton and vicinity -met in the °S ouncil chamber on Monday evening, b Mrs W.

"The CoIonel's Miaid," was the name of the play and it was put on by six young men and three young ladies. Mr. 'Percy Livermore took the part of Col. Rudd, a rather short- tempered .widower. who had one sin Mr. Henry Sidman took the part of Col. Richard Bird, also a widower who had a quick temper and a pretty daughter. The two fathers had quarreled in their youth, having fought a duel over a girl, and had hated each other ever since, but the two young people had met some- where and had fallen in' love. Col. Rudd had determined that his son should marry a cc usir, Julia Carroll, who with her mother, Aunt Emme- line, is visiting them. But the son re- fuses and, in order that his father may be won over to consent to his marriage with Marjorie Bird ar- ranges that she Mme as maid. The old man is immediately taken with the girl's appearance and manners and confides to bis son that he is sure she is "of gentle birth" and later he decides to adopt her. In the meantime he is insisting on his son marrying "Cousin Julia," But Julia, although a very dutiful daughter, has a lover of whom her mother does not approve and she and Bob Rudd agree to help each other in their love affairs. When old Col. Bird ar- rives and accuses Col. Rudd of hav- ing kidnapped his daughter and in- sists on searching the house he 18 kept out of the kitchen by Ching, the Chinese cook. who has been instruet- ed by Bob, but finally .Julia has to don Marjorie's cap and apron and wield a duster in 'order to put him off the scent. Julia's lover arrives but it is thought best not to have hint go under his own name in order to keep her mother in the dark and he, having a bad memory, gets himself into trouble by telling several mem- bers of the household a different name. But the play ends happily as Col. Bird discovers that Col. Rudd's wife, who had died some years before, was not Emmeline, the girl over whom he had fought a duel. with Col. Rudd, but her sister, and she, Emmeline, ' is now a charming -widow and willing to listen to his ad- vances. His enmity to Col. Rudd immediately dies out, also his ,opens ition to the marriage of his daughter with his son, Col. Rudd could not but accept as -his son's fiancee the girl in 'whom he had been'so much interest- ed, while Julia's mother decides also to withdraw her opposition to her daughter's :choice, especially as they had gone 'off and been married any- way. . .. Mr. Percy Livermore plays the part of Col. Rudd, M:r, Henry Sloman that of Col„ Bird, Miss Elva Cook takes the role of Marjorie Bird and Ass . M;adelon Streets that of Julia Carroll, Miss Olive Watkins takes that of Mrs. Carroll, Col. Rudd'sesis- ter-in-law, Emmeline, Col. Bird's old sweetheart, Mir. J. D. Bucicrell that of Bob Rudd; Mr. Charles Watson that of Ned. Graydon, Julia Carroll's lover, Mr. J. Twyford, that of e young lawyer, James Baskon, and Mr. G. N. Davies that of Ching, the Chinese cook, The same paper told of hundreds who attended the funeral aid the many expressions of sorrow at the sudden calling of a .man who had won the love of his fellows by his many fine qualities of head -and heart, The following proclamati'bn from the Governor of the State was also published; "April 16, 1930. In the death this morning of Dr. William J. Kay, Sup- erintendent of the Michigan Horne and Training School at Lapeer, the State of Michigan has lost one of its Most valuable servants, a mate who was a true and kindly father to those many unfortunate "children'." who had been placed under his care dur- ing the five years he has had charge of that institution.

The number has increas- ed until today there are 2910 pat- ients in the Home, which is crowded far beyond its capacity originally, in- tended, but which Dr. Kay had ex- panded xpanded through his indefatigable labors to provide for these committed to the Home.

THE FAITH MISSION The Faith Mission, which has been represented by meetings in the local Baptist church the past ten days con- ducted by Pilgrims Waugh and Dor- man, was instituted in Octobeee 1886, for the evangelization, specially of vil- lages, country districts and small towns in .Scotland, but open to ex- tend further either in Scotland or elsewhere. Regular work has been carried on in Ireland since 1802, and' in more recent years the work has extended to England. sand Wales with affiliated branches in Canada and South Afirce. The Evangelists cal-• led "Pilgrims," generally work in pairs. They visit a place for several' weeks more or less, according to cir- puanst'nces, and, oeithey interpret it, the leadings of the Spirit of God, seem to indicate advisable. They welcome the coo -operation of all who love the Lord •Jesus in sincerity*. The mis- sion i maintained on the Faith prin- ciple—no appeals are made for mon- ey, The needs are laid before the Lord in prayer and are supplied tho+cugh goodwill offerings. The Mission is essentially itiner- ant, does not establish permanent mission stations nor interfere with denominational preferences or die - ;Unctions.
