Christmas Offering
BY PROF. HAROLD G. HUTCHINS |
Father, we come to Thee, our hearts overflowing with grati-tude
for the wonderful provisions made us in the observance of
Thy laws and the manifold manifestations given us of Thy power
and all pervading love.
O, Thou perfect Exemplar whose advent we commemorate,
may we experience more fully the sweetness of Thy purity, the j
beauty of Thy humility, the nobility of high aspiration and en- I
-deavor, the peace of love, the grandeur and loveliness of truth 1
and the glory of God. ' j ' !
May we grasp the opportunities of thoughtfulness, and may j
the incentive of Christian love govern all our intercourse with men.
Infinite Spirit, help us to realize the power within us to do
and to be, made strong as we commune with Thee and feel Thy
presence, and may we be confident that we will be drawn
nearer Thy glory, and live in peace and joy. Amen.
Succumb s to Paralysis
Mrs. Harry W. Zenf/ reyer Passes Away in
-Palm yra
As the evening shadows gathered or
Tuesday evening and the town lights
began to gleam out here and there, Mrs.
Harry W. Zentmeyer caught the glint
of the harbor lig-hts in the far part of
Home, and fared forth. Death was
immediately due to paralysis, but Mrs".
Zentmeyer had been in poor health for
the past four years.: She was severely
burned by a lamp explosion four years
ago and neyer fully recovered. Until a
recent attack of paralysis, however,
she had been in much better health.. :
Clara E. Zimmerman was born in
Derry Church 43 years ago next Febru-ry
Church, and Mrs. John.S. Shope, of
Anr.ville, and Mrs. Harvey Yundt, of
Bus hong, Kansas, sisters. The funeral

ment will be made at Gravel. Hill.

in Derry Church. She was married 18
years ago to Harry W. Zentmeyer and
to them have been born two children,
Paul and Russel. Only recently did
they move to Palmyra which has since
been their home. Mrs. Zentmeyer was
an earnest Christian woman well known
and beloved by. all who.knew her. She

work of the Derry Presbyterian Sun-day
School. She was a member of the
Lutheran Church at Annville at the
time of her death.

Farmers Go to College
Two of Our Local Boys Entered Pennsylvania
I StalEi College on Monday .
On Monday George E. Coperihayer
and Frank B. Snavely, both local boys^ left Hershey to enter Pennsylvania
State College. They will -enter the
Agricultual department. Both of these
young, men give promise of successful
careers along farming lines and will
surely profit by the course which they
are about to take. • ¦
Word comes from them that they have
been compelled to undergo the usual
initiation to which all freshman are
subjected. Mr. Snavely was taken on a
"cpbn hunt" with which every college
man is throughly familiar and which
furnishes so much amusement at .the
poor. ' 'freshie's'' expenae. Mr.. Copen-hayer
was privileged? to be one of the
team of the famous chariot race stunt.
Both boys have been rushed ^ by all of
the best fraternities and have been bid
by j some. Mr. Snavely is considered
good material for basketball and will
probably make the class team at least.
He will also train for track. Mr.
Copenhaver is out for the debates arid
has every prospect of making the team.
He has already made the glee club.
We wish them every success.
