{ i { } 10 WINNETKA TALK February 5, 1927. § | WINNETKA BUILDING NEWS Vol. 1 Winnetka, Ill. 46 The best way to be contented with your lot is to build a home on it. Mr. Joseph Wolfe is building an at- tractive brick-veneer residence for Mr. Perry on Elder lane near Forrest Avenue, Winnetka. Our lum- ber will be throughout. used Do you want to know how to make your home comfort- able both in summer and winter? We have the answer right here in our yard. It's Balsam Wool. Mr. H. Hobjer of Evanston is remodel- ing and putting an addition on Mr. Buf- fington's residence at 1103 -S pruce Street. He is also bujlding the pump- house for Daughaday Bros. on their new subdivision. Geo. Gonsalves says, "The city man who tries to raise a garden doesn't won- der that farmers sometimes get dis- couraged." The next attraction in this community will be the sweet girl graduate. We have had more compliments on our coal lately than ever before. Naturally we like to hear these things. But it has always been our pol- icy to purchase the best grade of coal possible, and give the best possible service. We are glad our efforts are ap- preciated. Winnetka 734 | had an Mr. A. Abramson of Wilmette is build- ing Mr. A. Pancoe's residence at 117 Eu- clid Avenue, Hub- bard Woods. We will furnish the lum- ber. We've never seen it miss--the lady al- ways climbs into the front seat of the Ford first and then lets the man con- tortionate himself in- to position behind the wheel. "Hey, get off that cement. Can't you see it's wet?" "Oh that's all right, I have my go- loshes on. How many of you like parsnips and egg plant? We just want to know. We've argument with the cook. Wine Coal - Lumber Cn, 823 Spruce Street CHURH GETS ANNUAL LETTER FROM INDIA (Continued from page 5) to meet whatever comes." Four months later I went by country cart to visit him in his town, which in English would be called "Deerfield." There in a village one half mile from his home he had established a school. The con- fidence of those people had been won and working together they put up a building large enough for fifty or more children. Never had I been so in- terested in visiting a school. I took a picture of the people and school chil- dren and it was easy to see they were proud of their new enterprise. Then, to go over to Deerfield, they insisted we must go in one of their carts. That was an act of courtesy on their part, and I gladly accepted, for I expected trouble might be coming in the village ahead of us and all that would help. But I had not counted on Daniel's in- fluence, for I soon found out that his work was well begun. Ten young men, including his brother, had been won to the faith and also some of the girls. There in the central building a group of the leading men gathered, and after visiting their school, we talked. None of the relatives came, so far as I know, and no service was held because Daniel advised against that. When the time came to leave, the young men fol- lowed my cart out across the fields. There in the open fields with only the blue sky overhead we stopped and bowed in prayer. It was a moment I shall not forget. We prayed that strength might be given for them {to keep steady and true; also that the other people might in time come to un- derstand. Then we went on again. I could see plainly the confidence they had in their young leader and the re- spect they gave him. After a time they left, but Daniel continued to fol- low. He is only 22 years of age, but I wish more had his moral courage. I asked how he was managing to get a livelihood and if there was anything I could do to help. Thanking me he simply said, "I will manage somehow." Yet when he turned to go there were tears in his eyes. What he has to en- dure I cannot say, for he never speaks about that, but I have no fears for the outcome. A faith like that must win. The Mission voted at its last meeting to place my friend and seminary roommate, Ralph R. Keithahn, also at Manamadura. This is temporary, however, while he finishes his language study. Jean and Howard (the Wosted children) have just battled through the measles. Otherwise they have been a very healthy and happy pair. Mabel (Mrs. Wolsted) has wished you a hap- py New Year in her letter, and we all heartily join in that. We look forward to the New Year. Sincerely, Clarence E. Wolsted. Troubadour Glee Club Broadcasts from WBBM To-night at 8:45 the Troubadour Glee club will broadcast a few concert numbers together with a number of solos by Director J. G. Gunn, over station WBBM, Chicago. The pro- gram will no doubt be of interest to north shore residents who have been watching the growth of the Trouba- dours, as it will give them a clue as to what the coming concert season will be like. The club is working doubly hard for assured success by holding two rehearsals each week instead of one. >; o_o] on a pg -- : Announcing the... New Super-Sixes HUDSON-ESSEX NOW ON DISPLAY A. W.
