UNITY’S PICNICT he F ourth of J u ly P icnic was a g rea t

Tessie W allace reached the goal first in the lad ie’s race and L illian C line came out ahead in the g ir l’s race.

T he boy’s cracker-ea ting race proved to be g rea t fun and a wise idea, as it p a rtly filled them so th a t the older folks could have a chance a t supper tim e. T he p rize w as divided between Cecil L ay and P au l Jones. T he p rize fo r the g irls ’ cracker­ea ting race was divided between E d ith P rice and A daline W hitw orth . M rs.

VALUE OF THE CHURCH GOING HABIT

T he W oodw ard Avenue business m an smiled when some of his friends ra llied him a b it about his reg u la r hab it of going to church.

“ No, I don’t go to p lease m y w ife,” he said good na tu red ly . “ N either do I go because I have any special creed to up ­hold; nor ye t because I th ink it is good for business. I go because it is the p lan I s ta rted w ith earl}" in life , and I m ean to keep it up.

“W hen I was a boy, ju s t beginning to th ink w hat I should do w ith my life , I sized up the people in the tow n w here we lived, and I saw th a t those who w ere bringing out the best resu lts a ll around, for them selves and th e ir fam ilies, w ere men who hab itua lly w ent to church. I t seemed to me then , young as I w as, and it s till seems to me th a t churchgoing inevi­ta b ly brings out system , o rder, punctua l­ity , self-respect and a num ber of other tra its which are valuable assets in any life w ork.
