"Unity Produces Happiness" The church's great mission is to save souls and to make them happy in Christ. This church has no man-made name to defend, nor selfish cause to support, but just simply asks you to come to Christ and save your soul through Him. When we cannot say "We exist for the sake of Christ's kingdom," then God should take us, as a church, out of the world. We can say, "Not thy will, but Thy will be done." True spiritual worship in a spiritual way at the church every Sunday. Next Sunday is Mother's Day.

It will be observe'd in the Bible school by the honoring of mothers, and the presentation of a potted plant to the mother who has the most chuldren present.

B. Todd was the first man to drive his old bus up in front of the News Chronicle building and make claim for the one year free subscription. He is driving the old 1916 Studebaker which he purchased from H. G. Ogden, and has been driving it ever since.

The old car is still taking him around quite generously he says. The second to lay claim was Ray Close who has a four cylinder Reo also a 1916 model. Dr. Wycoff called on his patients in the car for several years. It is a touring car, but Mr.

Close now has the back seat off and a box put on for carrying things. Then comes Everett Hushaw with a 1917 Reo, and while it may not stand a chance to get the prize, there is something remarkable about it. Mr. Hushaw also purchased the car himself and the family has driven it since that time. It has the top off, but otherwise is a pretty good looking boat.

Mr. Hushaw says that the speedomoter, generator and the starter on this car have never been out of fix, and he has never had to think nasty thoughts about them not working. That is a remarkable record for thirteen years of service. Who has an old car to beat these?
