Clierbein Men 's Bible Class and Frienus
Enjoy.{Banquet
About sixty-five persons, members of
the Otterbein Men's Bible Glass of the
United Brethren Church and their
friends, enjoyed a banquet, and social
hour at the Hershey Cafe on the even-ing
of December 8. A course dinner
•was served by caterer Frank Roth.
Following the-dinner, several speak-ers
were introduced in turn by A. W.
Snavely, leader of the class. The first
speal er was James F. Garvin who
si bke on "Christian Athletics. " Mr.
Garvin set forth a high.ideal in athlet-ics
which is but a part of life, arid stat-ed
that the Christian spirit was as much
in place in athletics as in any other
phase of life, and where . the Christiari
spirit was wanting in athletics, they
were to be condemned. Rev. Segelj:
ken 's theme was "The Power of a Life
Lived. " He showed the value of legist
lation and organization, but brought out
forcibly, by the use-of local and histori-cal
illustrations, the power of a life
lived. S. D. Clark had been asked to
speak on "Religion and Business." Mr.
Clark, Tiimself a Christian business
man, handled this subject in an . able
manner. He made very clear that reli-gion
is business and business is religion.
Rev. C. K. Fegley discussed the ^'Men 's
Movement." The day has passed when
religion is only for women and children.
Men, strong men, busy business men
arc becoming deeply interested in the
Missionary cause, in Bible study and
other activities of the Christian Church.
C. S. Gee discussed the relation of the
Y. M. C. A. to the Church. Rev. Romig
in closing gave a.brief history of the
organization of the Otterbein Class and
spoke of the relation between pastor
and class.
The success of this occasion warrant-ed
the establishment of- a similar meet-ing
as an annual function. The gath-ering
only proved the ab'oved statement
that today religion is for men, and that
men are ready to stand for religion. .
Get to live;
Then live, arid use it, else it is not true
That thou hast gotten. Surely use
alone
Makes money not a contemptible
stone.
—Herbert.
Night School
Cards we're issued this week announc-ing
: the night school held Monday. ,
Wednesdays, and Fridays, at 7. p. m. in
the school house. There seems to have
been the- understanding among some
that this school was for young men
only. It is for young women as well.
Thus far not as many have enrolled as
was hoped for but the work has begun.
In order not to .lose classification it will
be necessary to enroll soon. It is hcped
that those who are interested. and are
expecting to take up work in one of the
departments will report to A. W.
Snavely or E. L. Bomgardner, at the
Trust Company, or to G. S. Gee. If it
is not possible to enroll at once, it is
expected that those intending to do so
later will at least report, that arrange-ments
may be made for. them. ;
Disastro us Fire at union
Deposit -
Broke Out Early in the Morning in the Store
of W. H, Rapp. Loss Heavy
W. H. Rapp, general merchant at
Union Deposit, was awakened about 4
o'clock Saturday morning by a loud ex-plosion
in the rear of his store. Mr.
and Mrs. Rapp live in the same build-ing
and immediately rushed to the scene
of the explosion. This was probably
caused ' by the communication of the
flames to some cans of powder which
were in that part of the store, but what
caused the original flame is still a mys-tery.
It is now thot that the fire was
started several hours previous and; had
been smouldering for some time.
Mr. and Mrs. Rapp fougl t the fire
alone, until it broke out thru the .floor-when
help arrived. David Handshaw
was the first to come to their assist-ance
and was immediately followed by
D. M. Rodey. Factory men began to
arrive by this time and a bucket bri-gade
was formed. No goods were reJ
moved from the store but considerable
clothing; bedding, etc., were rescued
from the dwelling apartments.
The estimated loss is between $.7,000
and $8,000, partly covered by insurance.
No adjustment has been made thus far.
Undaunted by this misfortune Mr. Rapp
is still doing business at the old stand,
the cellar being unharmed.- Mr. Rapp
is also postmaster at Union Deposit and
the office is in the buildingr which was
damaged. This part was unharmed and
no loss was sustained to Uncle's prop-erty.
