Jones was the last and only witness called for his side of the litigation. Jones said the before valuation was 522,500 and the after, $12,500, for a loss of $10,000. Simon Meek, of Pine Dale, and Ebe-i Kingsbury, Harrisburg, who laid out Deer Lake, testified 10 days before when the hearing was last heard. Meck's figures were the same as those of Jones, while Kingsbury held the loss sustained was $9,000 on the contention the before valuation was $22,000 and the after $13,000. The Joneses sold the property in December, 1946, due to ill health of the husband.

The viewers will study the transcribed testimony, after which they will hand down their findings, making or refusing an award. Attys. Elwyn Jones and J. F. Mahoney appeared for the claimants.

C. J. Friedberg, Mahanony City, special deputy attorney general, represented the commonwealth. The Pennsylvania Department of Highways completed its case as defendant in the land damage claim of Millard Jones and wife, Florence, Orwigsburg, and the Tremont National Bank, last week at the Court House before County Viewers Atty. Fred V.

Filbert, of Pottsville; William V. Rowan, of New Philadelphia, and Clarence Ford. Minersville. The claim resulted from the appropriation of a strip of land in front of the dwelling restaurant and taproom operated by Jones and his wife along the Pottsville-Reading highway in 1941. The petition for viewers to assess damages was filed in 1945 and has been pending since.

The land was taken in widening the highway between the Red Churcn and Molino.

face water following the change in Ziegler, Missionary unina. Yovang, Hunan, China April 5, 1948 pear Friends: It has been a long time, so it sems at least, since I have written a letter home. In these two weeks much has happened, so much that the greater part of it has gone forgotten. Probably, for me personally, my trip to Gankou stands out among all those things that have happened. On Good Friday morning we began, Pastor Dzang arifl by riding a weapons carrier to Sin Kai Tang (newly opened village), and from there we walked about ten miles to Gankou.

The trip was fascinating. The scenery changes from that of rather bare and unproductive hills and fields outside of Yoyang. to an area ricli in productive possibilities. The countryside outsid of Gankou is like a veritable "Lancaster The fields were covered with cotton in blossom, or other very productive looking crops. To find fine looking farms was all a to me.

I had been told that the area around Gankou was rich farm land, but I found more China, as I've not felt before. The moat around the "larger house" and the wall, the flowers of a few (all too few) peach trees, all made me think of things I had read about China while still at home. Their houses, inside however, are almost impossible for us. Ground floors, with various animals making themselves at home inside; the dark rooms with few windows and no outlet for smoke. Well, one wishes such things could be changed.

Be all this as it may, the welcome given me, a complete stranger, was very generous. This was true of all four of the families we were able to visit during the day. The kindness and welcome these families give you, is far more than we ourselves generally show to even our most respected and honored guests. Everywhere we went people gave us tea and at several places they prepared eggs with sugar in hot water. Before I forget it, we ask the Li's how many were in their family.

They replied that the entire family numbers over two hundred thousand. All these people have descended from eight brothers, and grade and the property dropped in value because of the damage. A county board of viewers awarded $3,200 to the claimant from which award she appealed and asked for a trial by jury. Atty. Guy E.

Waltman, counsel for the said claimant and Atty. C. J. Friedberg, counsel for the Penna. Department of Highways, agreed to have the award increased to $3,500 and have the court confirm it nisi and the appeal withdrawn which ends the litigation.

His father, Bere-chiah, was the son of Iddo, the prophet. Though much younger than Hug-gai, about whom we studied last Sunday, Zechariah began his ministry only two months later than Haggai a ministry which was to Gems of Thought Or. Newton summon the people to righteousness as a condition essential in the rebuilding of the temple and in cleansing themselves of idolatry, if they were to throw off the yoke of their foes. The student will need to read the entire Book of Zechariah to have the background for this lesson. Also Psalm TALKING Talking is like playing on the harp; there is as much in laying the hands on the strings to stop their vibration as in twanging them to bring out their music.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more Egg Production Can Be Increased by Lights Less Feed, More Eggs By Longer Working Days The swing shift still is on the job in modern chicken houses. No longer do farmers expect a drop in egg production during the fall and winter. They've learned how to prevent this downward curve. The answer lies in providing laying hens with 13 hours of light in every 24-hour period, plenty of good feed and an adequate supply of water. Chickens having these "good laying" helps will produce from 10 to 30 per cent more eggs during Earl Williams 29 W.

Perhaps, this is all getting ahead of my story-Arriving there Friday evening, the first thing we did, according to Chinese custom, was have tea, i gg mixed with boiling water and sugar, with an opportunity to wash our feet after the meal was eaten. That night I could hardly help but think of what.

Good Friday meant to Christians the world-over, and after conversation with the two other pastors we retired for the evening.) One of the foremost objectives of these trips is to go on pastoral calls, with the pastor of the congregation. Saturday morning we began on these calls, although it was raining. As we walked along the little paths (roads) going vimong the fields, all of us seemed to take one step and go back two. However, we finally arrived at the first house on which we were to call. This family bares the name of Li.

Li is a very common name in these parts, probably in all of China. The Jones and the Smiths have nothing on our Li's in these parts. Arriving at the home we were immediately served tea, and the conversation gave me some idea of the history of th family. One of surprising experiences here was to see the ten commandments written above the worship center in the house. This lo me is most signfieant.

For most every house in this area has a worship center. Where various Gods of Chinese, mythology are remembered or the ancestors are remembered at other times. For the Ten Commandments to be written at this most outstanding place in the home, the family altar, impressed me thoroughly. A little baby will soon be baptized in this home, she will be a third generation Christian. The house of this family, of course, was not standing separated from other houses, as we like ours to be.

Rather all the houses, of the one hundred families are all locked their support and the solicitors for their earnest efforts. YOU Deserve The Best! FOR THE BEST IN Candid Wedding Albums I'm not the happiest person in the world, but I'm next to the happiest," murmere-d the supreme egotist as he took the sweet young thing into his arms. and different about it all. Of all the hymns we sang, the one called "This Is My Father's was sang with the greatest similarity to those notes written for the hymn. Often times you can help people in almost any part of a hymn, some of them several measures separated.

When that happens things become difficult for me, at least. Before the Communion service began there was an examination for those wishing church membership. The examination was rather thorough, and was conducted by Pastor Dzang and myself. He is good in English and can use theological terms in the English language. That helps me a great deal.

The Catechism used is a very simple one, for even I can read most of it, yet I have a difficult time translating freely. This little congregation, of about twenty to thirty people, impressed me. Perhaps I was even more impressed with the setting it has, and what seems to me rich possibilities. I'm sure I'll be making many more trips to this little village, which was left in complete ruins by the Japanese. Easter Sunday afternoon found us on our way home.

We walked to Sinsyiang, where I had visited the week previous. As I walked down the streets I could here some say that I lived in Yoyang, at the Protestant mission. It doesn't take long until many people along the country roads know just be strong and united for the task of rebuilding the temple and resioi ing their life in Jerusalem. Read further into the prophecy of Zechariah and note the admonitions of the Lord for kindness one toward another kindness and understanding and sincerity, which are the indispensable qualities of community life. WHAT MAKES A PEOPLE GREAT? ZECHARIAH reminds the people that the downfall of their fathers had been due to their for-getfulness of God.

He calls them now to repentance of their own sins, that they become truly a great people. "Fear not, but let your hands be strong." Zechariah 8:13. "What makes a nation great and strong? Not brick, nor stone, nor wood. But justice, love and brotherhood Boys and girls will do well to look again at what this old prophet was saying. We long to see the United States a truly great nation.

Then let us be strong in the Lord. GOD HAS A STANDARD READ chapter seven, versei 8-14. and for some of trte 'standards which God sets up for his people. "Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother. Oppress not the widow, the orphan, the foreigner, or 'the poor, and never plot evil in your hearts against one another." Zechariah is here epitomizing the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount, All of which is to remind us today that we da not need new standards.

We simply need to conform to God's eternal where to place you. We took this road because we wanted to meet the evening train to Yoyang, and so we did.
