At St. Patrick's Church Hall, Saturday Evening, Oct. 13 than one of the recent conventions. Another Sunday school specialist who will bring inspiration and help to the convention is Rev. E. H. Koehler of Normal, 111. Mr. Koehler will be remembered by many who attended the state convention at Aurora as one of the speakers there. Our Sunday school association workers were shocked to hear of the death of one of their number last week. Mr. Wm. Sager, county adult superintendent, died suddenly at his home in Marengo last Thursday. This quiet, unassuming man will be greatly missed by those who remain to carry on the work without him. It "was a pleasure to work with' him. The tragedy of loss casts a shade of gloom upon the coming convention plans, but even now the memory of his earnestness and quiet loyalty calls for more serious devotion and solemn consecration of all our energies and resources to united effort in the cause of religious education. 3\ ADDITII Work on tl Wauconda idly.

To heal the "sick, restore sight to the blind, turn weakness into strength, vanquish powerful foes at one blow, master difficult situations by mere personal presence, create or destroy by the simple will to have it so --such things interest us in spite of ourselves. And they should. For ttiey do not belong altogether to the realm of fancy. They are real possibilities-- or else we sometimes do the impossible. Whichever way it is, we have marvelous powers we seldom use and some of us never even dream that we possess them, tho their use might bring us wealth and happiness. I shall have more to say on this subject next Sunday morning, for I am going to speak to you from the pulpit at 11:00 o'clock on "Miracles We All May Perform." The music and every feature of the hour's program will be good. A happy band of children meet at 10:00 o'clock for Sunday school, and while those of the younger group are invited to the church at ten, those of more mature years are assyred of a royal welcome at eleven. And the day will be brighter for all who come. John M. Grimes, Minister. New stock bf wall paper at Erickson's .
