Every Sunday school will do well to send at least one, better five or six delegates. It will be the best of investments if the schools plan to pay the expenses of at least one of their delegates. The time, effort and expenses will be fully repaid in the inspiration gained, and. those able to attend will be privileged indeed Roger W. Babson says, "The need of the hour is not more legislation. The need of the hour is more religion." More than five hundred of the finest men and women are serving as teachers and officers in the thirty-eight Sunday schools of McHenry county and five thousand three hundred are included in the membership. If any child, youth or adult is without the privilege of Sunday school membership it seems apparent that the opportunity is not lacking. No one Is too old oi too young to be a member of some Sunday school. The workers will be glad to welcome you in the church of your choice. You will find there, inter esting groups of every age. The com ing weeks are especially favorable, come and enjoy these Sundays in the church school. It is the ideal place. Secy. County Sunday School Assn. STANDARD OIL ERECT NEW GASOLINE FILLING STATIONS that of the Edelmann home which was destroyed by fire last Sunday after noon. According to a resolution as sent to the local department by Chicago residents at Pistakee, the run from McHenry to the Bay was made in eleven minutes. McHenry, we believe, has as good au^quipment as will be found in many cities much larger than ours and the manner that the members performed last Sunday is very commendable, to say the least. In a manner of showing their appreciation, three owners of summer homes donated $100 each to the local department immediately after the fire. The donators are A. H. Severinghaus, Byron A. McAnsh and Joe. F. Haas It is our understanding that there are other summer home owners residing in this summer resort territory who have expressed a desire to lend financial aid to the department. Needless to say that the members of the McHenry fire department feel highly grateful for the contributions received this week.
