The Golden Text was, "If God be fl>r us, who can be againsf us?" (Romans 8:31). Among the citations which (comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "1 will hear what God the Lord-will speak: for he will speak peace unto his peo- - pie, and to his saints: but let tfaem not turn again to folly" (Psalms €5:8). The Lesson-Sermon also in- . 4foded the following passages from Ike Christian Science textbook, ' *fecienee and Health with Key to the » . Scriptures,' by Mary Baker Eddy: '"The supposed existence of mote tha n one mind was the basic error '4>t idolatry. ... The children of God • tave but one Mind. How can good lapse into evil, when God, the Mind •of man, never sins? The standard Of perfection was originally God and man. Has God taken down- His own Standard, andhas min fallen?"

Mr. and Mrs, Frank Thurlwel! and farrtily have vacated the flat over the C. J.

The canoe party from Dundee and £lgin passed through this village on Fox river last Saturday. The sixty Canoeists completed a three days* Cruise which began at Fistakee Bay, jit Elgin Sunday evening. Th£ brick work on the new Bowman bottling plant at Rihgwood is going On with great rapidity. - The walls of the big plant are climbing and already the structure begins to take on the appearance of a gigantic enterprise. TWENTY YEARS AGO Butter was .declared firm at 28 cents on the Elgin board of trade Monday. The water hydrants about the village were tested and cleaoned out this wek. Another very excellent idea. Let the good work go on. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO The butter market remains steady. Twenty-three centsp was the official quotation. - „ ..

J WATI NEW YORK WATTFR TRUMBULL V FORTY YEARS AGO W, E. Wire, county superintendent of schools, was a caller on Monday. Howard R. Perry, who has just graduated at West Point, was calling on friends here the past week. Miss Dora Besley, who has been teaching at Genoa, 111., is home for the summer vacation. ' D. S. Babbitt, of Elgin, has been visiting friends here the past week. He expects to get located with his family in his Cottage St Pistaqua toy{ are underground business centers also A subway express banged past a man In dirty overalls with a red and white lantern In his band. He was standing beneath a ventilator and a shaft of sunlight revealed his pallid features.' lie was a trackwalker--one of the hundreds who spefid their.»working hours tramping along the long, dark tubes alert for loose bolts, broken rails or anything else that might cause disaster or delay. Here and there they flash their white lights, the red showing toward the rear, being a warning to approaching trains. On them Is heavy responsibility. Over the steel which Ihey inspect, millions ride each day. •" ' 1 * • - • •" • •" • o There are thousands of underground tollers in New York." The'subways account for an army. Dispatchers' offices are little botes down beneath the street level. Hundreds of station agents work In small platform booths. At the larger stations, there are guards who assist tit loading and unloading freight. They are the ones who, when a car seems full to bursting, pack in a few more sardinfcs. Porters get more sunlight thaft others as they sweep the stairways--usually when the stairways are greatly crowd^ ed and sweeping is extra difficult J Subway track repair men make repairs in bright light. It is artificial illumination, however, of such intensity that they actually toil in the spotlight. Between trains, they are lu furious activity. They -don't have to be on the alert for danger. A lookout equipped with a red flag, red light and a whistle keeps watch for them. At the approach of a train, he shrills the whistle,,. and the workers hop. Though they move quickly, they have, due regard for the deadly third rail, of course. 1 Train crews, in the subway seldom see daylight, except for brief flashes, except when they are off duty. Motoriuen, before they are accepted, must, undergo strict -physical examinations. Then they ape put through" a long course of training before they arg^aK lowed to handle the controller. Yet in the operation of subway trains, the human factor has bpen eliminated to a great extent. On the controller handle is what is known as "the dead man's button." Should the motorman relax pressure on that button, the train stops. And maintenance men have to be called to get it Jn motion again. It Is Impossible'for a motorman to ruo past a station. If he fails to shut off power and apply the brakes, a trip does it for him. Nor can lie pass a red signal, that carrying with It an automatic stop also. A «train can be "keyed" past a signal Imt that practice Is In disfavor because of the danger attached. A motorman can pass a danger s i g n a l , or "red b a l l , " as it is called, by getting out of his compartment and throwing a lever. Hut be must have an excellent reason and know that the rules of safety are not being violated. Considering the num-' ber of persons carried daily, the safety average is extremely high. Many other New York workers see little of the cljty in the daylight. There are those who are employed In conduit^ and tunnels. Or they go down In man* holes and do not come up until quitting time. Railroad men work underground in and about terminals. Thei^f this week. FIFTY YEARS AGO The annual sheep washing has commenced in this section and wool buyers will soon be around. The interior of the M. E. church, in this village has been undergoing quite extensive repairs, papering and painting and is much improved in appearance. L. J. Dinsmore, pastor of the Universalist church, in this village, has received and accepted a call from the Universalist church at Owatonna, Minn., and will commence his labors in his new field on the first Sabbath in July. Quite a serious accident happened with the section hands on- the railroad, near Ringwood, on Friday morning last. As they were going up the track, eleven men being on the car, a wheel broke, throwing them all into a heap on the track. All were severely bruised, and* one ftian, Charles Peters, was seriously injured, and will be confined to the house for some time in consequence. and the underground galleries of Grand Central have a number of men who call them home. There are others also who do not see daylight while they ar* working-though they are not underground. They are under water--th* toilers in the caissons beneath the surface of the rivers. e. 1***.

RIGHTO! Boys Raise Bees to Pay for College Education Alma, Mich.--A sweet way to get an education is byr the production of honey, according to Howard Totter and Barker Brown. Both have paid their way through Alma college by raising bees. Last summe^ the two handled 150 swarms of bees, which yielded 15,000 pounds of honey. In a generous mood, the bees furnished two crops of honey.

Mike <Kmeegle, thirty years old, owm her life to the courage and resourcefulness at her twelve-year-old son Steve. Without funds to obtain medical attention, Steve performed an emergency operation on his mother. who was suffering from pleurisy. For two days the boy had petitioned doctors in Sudbury to visit his mother, who lives In a small" cottage six miles north of Sudbury. He failed - In his efforts,, however, because he lacked the necessary $10 fee. When his last effort failed he took a razor, made an incision" in his mother's back and drained out more than a quart of fluid. Provincial police visited Mrs. Snieegle and found her doing well. They said that there was no doubt but that she owed her life to her son. Poiporii in Mexico and Ciaadi A passport is not required for aif: American citizen for direct travel to Mexico aad Canada.

Rats Boss Valley, Care Not to Roam Washington.--Why a rat large enough to control acres of land should confine Itself to a particular territory Is a question which puzzles Dr. Joseph Grlnnell, of the University of California. Doctor Grinnell's report Was on a study of ^he giant kangaroo rats, a comparatively unknown species -making Its home in the San Joaquin valley, in California. According to the report, the rats "own whole square miles, to the practical exclusion, of other seedeating mammals." - Each rat has its own particular plot of ground, usually covered with rich vegetation. These plots are separated froip, each other by comparatively barren strips. Boundary lilies apparently are respected by tire entfre group. .•1s ~' ,*$9 ' • >.
