Covert preached Sunday morning in tiie Methodist church on "America snd God." His text wss "Righteousness exalteth a nation—." He spoke of the different types of thought and thinkers— the pessimist, optimist, cynic snd the Christian who thinks the nation can be better. Its deadly foes are self will, that scorns obedience to law; self interest, that scorns sacrifice; complaic- ance that ignores fellowship. There is no hope in these. The nation's need is leadership, leaders with vision, knowledge and conviction, faith. Good, honest, everyday Christian religion will solve the problems. Nothing short of righteousness will save a nation and bring answer to the prayer, "Thy Kingdom Come." WILL PREACH IN U. B. CHURCH Rev. Lester Schmittle,- son of Mr. J. A. Schmittle, the Tuckahoe street merchant, and a recent graduate of the Bonebrake Theological seminary, will be the preacher at the Bellwood United Brethren church on Sunday evening, Sept. 21, at 7:80 o'clock.

Schmittle received his call to the ministry during the pastorate of Rev. CoUedge to Tyrone, the local minister is highly pleased to have him preach to Ms pulpit. No doubt many of his friends of all denominations in. Bellwood will want to hear Rev. Schmittle on Sunday evening. e«e —Everybody enjoys reading the Bulletin. —Mrs Edna Hostler Rowe died at her home to Germantown, near Philadelphia, one dsy last week. She was the daughter of the W.

Now the young people have no place to pass their idle time and much of iat is spent on the street corners until bedtime. With the bowling allies, tiie pool tables and other activities the "Y" was the center of attraction for most all of the young folks of the community and each night they were to be found there in large numbers. It is a thousand pities thst the "Y" was forced to close its doors due to lack of support on the part of the citisens of the town, but this was the fate that overtook it. i. Our young people should be entertained and some means should be supplied where they can enjoy themselves in innocent fun. —Type writer paper far sale at ths BuUetto office la say auanhy Notice to all sportsmen Through the generosity of farmers John A.

Covert preached Sunday morning in tiie Methodist church on "America snd God." His text wss "Righteousness exalteth a nation—." He spoke of the different types of thought and thinkers— the pessimist, optimist, cynic snd the Christian who thinks the nation can be better. Its deadly foes are self will, that scorns obedience to law; self interest, that scorns sacrifice; complaic- ance that ignores fellowship. There is no hope in these. The nation's need is leadership, leaders with vision, knowledge and conviction, faith. Good, honest, everyday Christian religion will solve the problems. Nothing short of righteousness will save a nation and bring answer to the prayer, "Thy Kingdom Come." WILL PREACH IN U. B. CHURCH Rev. Lester Schmittle,- son of Mr. J. A. Schmittle, the Tuckahoe street merchant, and a recent graduate of the Bonebrake Theological seminary, will be the preacher at the Bellwood United Brethren church on Sunday evening, Sept. 21, at 7:80 o'clock. Rev. Schmittle is a native of Bellwood and expects to be assigned a charge at the meeting of the Allegheny conference ia Philipsburg this week As Rev. Schmittle received his call to the ministry during the pastorate of Rev. CoUedge to Tyrone, the local minister is highly pleased to have him preach to Ms pulpit. No doubt many of his friends of all denominations in. Bellwood will want to hear Rev. Schmittle on Sunday evening. e«e —Everybody enjoys reading the Bulletin. —Mrs Edna Hostler Rowe died at her home to Germantown, near Philadelphia, one dsy last week. She was the daughter of the W.

Now the young people have no place to pass their idle time and much of iat is spent on the street corners until bedtime. With the bowling allies, tiie pool tables and other activities the "Y" was the center of attraction for most all of the young folks of the community and each night they were to be found there in large numbers. It is a thousand pities thst the "Y" was forced to close its doors due to lack of support on the part of the citisens of the town, but this was the fate that overtook it. i. Our young people should be entertained and some means should be supplied where they can enjoy themselves in innocent fun. —Type writer paper far sale at ths BuUetto office la say auanhy Notice to all sportsmen Through the generosity of farmers John A.
