REQUESTS GAME-KILL REPORT I* an announcement this week Game Protector C. C. Brennecke urged all hunters in this county to forward their game-kill reports to Game Commission at Harrisburg immediately, thereby saving themselves trouble and embarrassment or possibly even a $2.00 penalty). According to his advice, 98% of the hunters voluntarily returrjed their report stubs to the Commission last year, and it is expected to equal if not exceed, that percentage this year. He suggested shot all hunter* check their reports before mailing them and to be sure to compare the number on the report with the number on the license. If they are aot exactly alike he stated, the numbejr on the report should toe corrected to agree with the number on the license. He pointed out that the game-kill tabulation is based entirely on license numbers, aad unless the report number is identical wtth the number on th* license, the hunter might not receive credit for having filed his report Officer Brenecke said' that "the law requires that all game-kill reports -be filed at Harrisburg On or before January 16. By returning them promptly hunters will not only be complying with the law but Will preclude the possibility of subsequent investigation by me or one of my deputies", he warned. The hunters in this county hove always cooperated with me hi the past, and I sineetrly hope that they will do so ia this important matter. Rev. R. S. Oyler.Ph.D., Simpson church, Altoona, made brief aiMres ses. The Rev. and Mre. T.M. Stone sang beautifully "Sun of My Sou! At conclusion of the service the pastor, Rev.

Dysart Thursday afternoon of lost weak, was largly attended by. old friends and neighbors. Her daughter, Mrs. Harry L. Hagerty of lata* Falls, N. Y. waa unable to attend, owing to tba very seriouo illness of her ADDRESS ON EVANGELISM Rev. H. G. Dooley Spoke Before tit* Ministerium At the meeting of tiia Bellwood ministerium on last Monday night Rev. H. G. Dooley presented * paper by request on the subject of Evangelism. The paper was well received by the ministers present who also followed the paper with a most intresting discussion on tho same subject. Rev. Dooley said in part: It would be difficult to consider a more timely subject in veiw of the world conditions. Inasmuch as science .education and politics have failed to effect a state of righteousness, I believe that ministers are convinced that our hope lies in evangelism. It cost the United States thirteen billions of dollars annually to cutrb crime and yet in spending that fabulous* amount crime is on the rampage and is increasing. Surely tbe evangelist is needed. The Apostle Paul ws* the foremost evanglist of bis day and he never aplogized for hie office, but ever magnified it. Nothing osa take the place of tiie Christian ministry whether it be the progress of civilization or the learning of the' schools, or the triumphs of the press, they can never supersede the God sent evangelist or minister, for he holds a divine commission and proclaims a divine purpose and h* accomplishes divine results. He stands among' men as God's mightiest man. His message is not culture nor philosophy as auch ,but Christ crucified. The Christ in his divine personality and spotless humanity. He proclaims the power of his resurrection and bis prevailing intercession and the promise of hi* cciyng again. The minister ha* no other message to peach. It waa Paul's message namely '."Christ Crucified," for men under the condemnation of sin. All *** toc\ud&imJgkmmmmmAin,jggg "ifaeter.

REQUESTS GAME-KILL REPORT I* an announcement this week Game Protector C. C. Brennecke urged all hunters in this county to forward their game-kill reports to Game Commission at Harrisburg immediately, thereby saving themselves trouble and embarrassment or possibly even a $2.00 penalty). According to his advice, 98% of the hunters voluntarily returrjed their report stubs to the Commission last year, and it is expected to equal if not exceed, that percentage this year. He suggested shot all hunter* check their reports before mailing them and to be sure to compare the number on the report with the number on the license. If they are aot exactly alike he stated, the numbejr on the report should toe corrected to agree with the number on the license. He pointed out that the game-kill tabulation is based entirely on license numbers, aad unless the report number is identical wtth the number on th* license, the hunter might not receive credit for having filed his report Officer Brenecke said' that "the law requires that all game-kill reports -be filed at Harrisburg On or before January 16. By returning them promptly hunters will not only be complying with the law but Will preclude the possibility of subsequent investigation by me or one of my deputies", he warned. The hunters in this county hove always cooperated with me hi the past, and I sineetrly hope that they will do so ia this important matter. Rev. R. S.

Dooley Spoke Before tit* Ministerium At the meeting of tiia Bellwood ministerium on last Monday night Rev. H. G. Dooley presented * paper by request on the subject of Evangelism. The paper was well received by the ministers present who also followed the paper with a most intresting discussion on tho same subject. Rev. Dooley said in part: It would be difficult to consider a more timely subject in veiw of the world conditions. Inasmuch as science .education and politics have failed to effect a state of righteousness, I believe that ministers are convinced that our hope lies in evangelism. It cost the United States thirteen billions of dollars annually to cutrb crime and yet in spending that fabulous* amount crime is on the rampage and is increasing. Surely tbe evangelist is needed. The Apostle Paul ws* the foremost evanglist of bis day and he never aplogized for hie office, but ever magnified it. Nothing osa take the place of tiie Christian ministry whether it be the progress of civilization or the learning of the' schools, or the triumphs of the press, they can never supersede the God sent evangelist or minister, for he holds a divine commission and proclaims a divine purpose and h* accomplishes divine results. He stands among' men as God's mightiest man. His message is not culture nor philosophy as auch ,but Christ crucified. The Christ in his divine personality and spotless humanity. He proclaims the power of his resurrection and bis prevailing intercession and the promise of hi* cciyng again. The minister ha* no other message to peach. It waa Paul's message namely '."Christ Crucified," for men under the condemnation of sin. All *** toc\ud&imJgkmmmmmAin,jggg "ifaeter.
