  session, Mrs. Bill Reese of Vaughnsville read a state
paper in which was emphasized the fact, that every
Christian citizen must work to defeat this wine and beer
bill and that the wets were never as thoroughly
organized as they are now.
   Mrs. Lula Gleason of Toledo, State Legislative Supt.
   after talking in the public schools
gave a most interesting address concerning her wok in
Columbus with the State Legislature.  She spoke of how
the women were working to have the law, "For Bibles in
the Public School passed and of how the women defeated
the bill Against the Sunday Movie Laws".
   She discussed the different members of the State
   Legislation and how they stand
on these moral questions.  She asked that every white
ribboner, on November 7, say by her vote to the enemies
of prohibition and law enforcement, "Thus far shall thou
go, but no farther".

UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH PANS SIX GREAT SUNDAYS
Expects To Reach 500 Mark At End Of Campaign
   The United Brethren Church has outlined a campaign
   for increasing its Sunday School
and church attendance within the next six weeks.  Cards
have been printed and are being distributed in every
home of the parish and others are given to prospective
members.  The plan is as in former years to begin with
the visitors' day.  The goal for that day is 300.  On
the second Sunday will be Mothers' Day when the women
will have entire charge of the services.  Next follows
Fathers' Day.  Then the Young Peoples' Day with a goal
of 400.  The fifth Sunday June 4th will be Auto Day when
it is expected that 100 automobiles will be there.  The
last Sunday will be Children's' Day with a goal of 500. 
The deposit of the new church fund will be shown on that
day.
   The U. B. Church has been very successful in the last
   few years in this six Sunday
campaign.  The attendance during these Sundays was
greatly increased and it not only helped to larger
numbers but was instrumental in fostering a fine spirit
of fellowship and worship.
   This year's campaign is hoped to be the best yet
   held.

   An old darky got up one night at a revival meeting
   and said: "Brudders an' sisters, 
you knows dat I ain't been what I oughter been.  Ise
robbed hen-roosts and stole hawgs, an' tole lies, an'
got drunk an' slashed folk wi' ma'h razor, an shot
craps, an' swore; but I thank the lord der's one thing I
ain't nebber done; I ain't nebber lost mah
religion."-----Eureka, Nevada Sentinel.


   A man may be nationally famous and locally infamous.

   A man is oftener judged by his linen than by his
   brains.

   Trouble waits for no man, but a lot of men wait for
   trouble.

   There is nothing whereby the clean strength of a
   horse is more known than
to make a ready and a clean stop.---Montaigne


"I AM THE CIVIC CENTER"
   My name is Civic Center and I am located in Columbus
   Grove on South High Street
in the heart of the City.  I have stood lonely and
deserted for years, but about six weeks ago two ladies
were walking on the street and one said to the other, "I
wish we could start a library" and the other replied
"Well we can and I have a place picked out for it,"
namely myself.  From that time on they did nothing but
talk and plan for me. My but I was glad for I had been
lonesome for many years.  So they began asking for what
they called Civic League meetings.  Well the first time
it poured down rain and only two ladies could come.  The
second time everybody had company or was detained at
home on account of sickness and there were only four
present.  The third time the place of meeting was locked
and as it was a cool night everyone felt chilly and not
very much inclined to work.  So the ladies went home but
several with sad hearts because they had hoped that I
might come to prominence.
   These were dark days for me for I felt that my last
   chance for life was fast slipping
away.  But a few of the number kept on talking and
finally they met led by the library committee and
concluded that it must be done.  After discussion they
named me, "Civic Center" and said that instead of just a
Library, I should furnish rest for the weary, a social
or business meeting as the occasion demanded.  I was
glad of this for I was afraid I would be alone so much
of the time but now I am inhabited by real live people
who are anxious to "Do all the good they can to as many
people as they can and in as many ways as they can and
just as long as they can."
