tbere are numerous events wbich
if • onsidered separately are seemingly unrelated. Eich person
acts spontaneously, yet God is behind tho scenes so shaping events
as to fit together each individual
act and occasion. Under his directing band all human conduct

light of present conditions aud future developments.
•'Each of us then have a deli-
nite part to play in this great
drama of life. Not all of us can
play the leading part but let us
not therefore conclude tbat we are
not needed. Moses undoubtedly
saw no relation between tha shepherd's staff which he'carried aud
the deliverance of Israel trom
Egyptian bondage, but God did.
Gideon did not understand bow a

detesting tbe Midianites, but
when he used it according to God's
direction it became unnecessary to
explain.

Tbe annual   memorial   service,
with the Grand Army of tbe Republic, the Veterans Legion and
the Women's Auxiliary attending
in a body, was held nt the Baptist
church last  Sunday  morning at
10.45.   A very  good attendance
of townspeople graced the  occa
Mon.   The preacher of the morning was lie v. II.  K. Bower, pas-
IMS'of the church, wbo based bis
remarks on 2 Tien. 2:3.   He said
in part:
War is unmitigated  evil, but in
|ee way   humanity -settles great
questions, often   necessary.   The
results immediately accruing from
war are bad,   bat   often ultimate
results   are  good.   The.  Greeks
overcame Xorxes,   but ^preserved
western  civilization.   The army
ot Xerxes brought with  them al
■ilia, which we bave today.   Only
■""v bloody war wai slavery abol
isbed in our country.   It has cost
terribly in blood and treasure,but
Curope is different today Irom tbe
Europe ot ten years ago.
We, however, realize' that we
are fighting against principalities
and powers of darkness these days
nd, as our God bas given os to
ome through the baptism of
lood and fire, we must not shirk
lit: duties as soldics of the every-
ay battle of lite. Amid politi-
1 and civil trickery and wrong,
' must take a stand, definitely
decidedly, for tbe right. And

At the Methodist Episcopal

Moffitt and Miss Jetsie N. Wul-
fert, both of Bellwood, were
united in marriage Tuesday
morning at 9 o'olock by Rev. J.
F. Anderson, tbeir former pastor.
The ring ceremony was used iu
tying the nupital knot, and the
couple were attended by Wilbur
Trout and Miss Auna Turnbaugh
of Bellwood, Both tbe bride and
her 'maid of honor wore dark
blue traveling suits. The bride
is tbe daughter ot Mr. and Mrs.
C. A. Wulfert, ot Bellwood, and
until recently was the efficient
clerk in tbe Mercy hospital office,

son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Moffitt

Cross Crossings Cautiously
"Oross Crossings Cautiously,"
is tbe slogan adopted by tbe
American Railway Association iu
a "Careful Crossing Campaign"
commencing Juue 1 and running
to Sept. 30, 1922. Many deaths
occur at railroan crossings each
year and the railroads 'intend do
ing their full share, and more, in
thie campaign to have motorists
and others use extreme caution
when approaching crossings. Get
this fixed '-under your hat"—
Cross Crossings Cautiously!
Jure—be patient and true when j
vatvbody is talklnsrisaaa W1 '-p
this is the Christian way. We
have seen the mistakes nf others.
We should count the cost of so
doing, for even the Kaiser labored
for over forty years to etnas'*
wealth and material for tbe great
undertaking he felt sure w ai coming. So we must realize, aud
live up to our knowledge in our
meeting ot obligations and discharging tbem in a Christian
manner. • Christ, tbe manliest
gentleman who ever lived, is our
exempts in all these* things—our
Captaiu, made perfect iu suffering.
And then the grand review !
Some witb new uniforms, uot out

Memorial Day is the time when
the nation baits its migbty throbbing pace to pay its meed of grat
itude to the heroes of the race.  It
is not a day   of   glorifying  war ;
its a time to think of tbe soldier's
glory of sacrifice     He paid  tribute to the Grand Army men, who
three set>re years ago, wheu the
nation's life hung in the  balance,
were loyal and strong enough to
save it.    The nation Wil1 never be
able to pay its debt to them.
