E. Church Notes. August 9, 1936 D. J. Schuyleman, pastor. Golden Text: "I was not dis obedient unto the heavenly vision." The Acts 26:19. 10:00 a. m. Church school hour. The lesson is on, "After Conversion, What?" This illustration in the Senior Quarterly is so directly to the point that I will repeat it here. "It was once the writer's lot to live next to a man who started to build a stone house, but at the height of the first story stopped. In that unfinished state the house stood for several years. During that period it did not even hold its own; it went rather rap idly toward decay. The man who harps upon a religious experience he had twenty years ago but who has never done anything notable in the way of good works since has stopped building his house of life at the first story. His religious experience will go to wrack and ruin if he does not follow it up with a life of crowded service." Need I point out how this applies to some of you who will read these notes, but who have become lax in your attendance at the Lord's house and service for Jesus? 11:00 a. m. Morning worship, led by the pastor. Young People's Meeting This is Institute Sunday and the league mem bers of Lincoln District will be at tending Institute at Epworth Lake Park. The Ladies' Aid will meet in the church basement Wednesday after noon of this week. The pastor will be at the Institute at Epworth Lake Park from Wednes day August 5 until Wednesday, Aug ust 12.

VISITS PARENTS HERE Harry Wright, a senior of Oberlin college, Oberlin, Ohio, i3 in the city for a visit at the home of his par ents, Rev. and Mrs. V. C. Wright. Mr, Prowler Sus pect is Captured Near Tabor, la. Young Iowa Farmer Captures Woman and Car Thought to HaveConnec tion with Farm Robberies. Sheriff Homer Sylvester and De puty Sheriff Cass Sylvester were over at Glenwood, Iowa, and vicinity Sun day to check up on the detention in that county of a woman and a car held after being captured in the vi cinity of Tabor, thought to be con nected with the gang that has been operating over the country in loot ing farm homes during the absence of the owners. There has been several of these cases in Cass county, west of this city and Mynard and it is thought that the parties may be the same. The woman and the car were cap tured at a farm near Tabor and held while two men seen in the vicinity of the car, parked near a farm home, had made their escape from the scene and they are now being sought in Omaha where it is thought they have their headquarters. The sheriff is busy investigating the case and it is hoped that when the parties are apprehended that they may be connected with the Cass coun ty cases and the depredations checked in this part of the state as well as in western Iowa. AS TO HOUSE CATS MYNARD. I was very much in terested in an article in defense of the common house cat. Here are a few facts that will be of interest to every lover of birds. The entomologists of the United States department of agriculture tell us that loss to agriculture from insects is $700,000,000 in the United States. Were it not for the birds our loss would be much greater. If it were not for our feathered friends we would not be able to raise anything. Birds constitute one of the most valu able agents since they depend large ly for their feed on insects which are the farmers dreaded foes. Here is what a few species of birds ac complish: The tree sparrow in the state of Iowa if there were two to every section of land they would con sume S75 tons of weed seed a year. Only the farmer can realize what a saving this is to him in labor cost. Some idea of the value of birds to the farmer of this particular group, from a statement cf the agriculture department of Washington, D. C. The value of farm products in the Unit ed States was $8,926,000,000 in 1910. If we estimate the total consump tion of weed seed by combined mem bers of the sparrow family of saving 1 percent of the crop, these birds saved the farmer $89,260,000 for the one year. One pair of robins that nests in your tree or side of your building, if she raises two broods carries 100 pounds of bugs and worms from your lawn and garden. A tree swallow's stomach was found to contain 40 chinch bugs, fragments of many others, beside ten other species of insects. A cliff swal low's stomach was found to contain 68 cotton boll weevil, one of the worst insect pests to ever invade the United States. Any one that wishes to know more about the DO most common birds, and their benefit to the American farm er send to the agriculture depart ment for Bulletin 513, and you will find a world of information as to benefit of birds, and also to the de structiveness of the common house cat. REV. II. A. MtKELVEY. Wright after his visit here will re turn to Ohio for the opening of school. mil I THR HOME OF I1KST PKTI RES!
