borne of Frank Rosenow last week

tion and found them without any
thing to eat or feed for their horses
which he very generously provided
for a number of days. Finally, he
was able to get them to move on
after being put to much trouble and
considerable expense in providing for
them, and was very well pleased that
he had been able to get them to move
oil.
Freeze Up Causes Grief '
Pairing the very cold weather and
due in part to the small amount of
water consumed, the water in the
stand pipe froze, causing a great deal
of trouble in getting it thawed out.
Had there been a greater amount of
water consumed the water would not
1 ave frozen. As it was it became
necessary to siphon water from the

j renter part of the tank, and then
I pump warm water in from the well to
'thaw the ice that had formed around
the outside, draining the water back
jinto the well, and continuing this for
some time before the ice that had
i started to form in the tank had all
been cleared away. This caused a
good deal of extra work, but could
have become even more serious had
not steps been taken to thaw the ice
after it was discovered, for no recep
tacle, large or small, can withstand
the pressure that comes what water
contained therein is frozen solid. The
same force that breaks motor blocks
would be sufficient to burst stand
pipes, which accounts for the fact
that they kept incessantly at the
job until they had halted the freezing
and removed the danger. If more
water were being used. the. tempera
ture of that pumped in from the
well would be high enough to resist
sub-zero weather.
Arranged Their Program
The worship committee of the Mur
;lotk K. L. C. K. met last Tuesday
evening at the home of Marie and
Martha Schweppe. to arrange for the
leaders and special numbers of the
Christian Kndeavor society. Leaders
have been provided for the next six
nonths. Mrs. Harvey Schwab had the
topic Sunday evening, "What Do I
Know about My Church." It was
the opening of the general Christian
Endeavor week, at which time var
ious denominations were to study
their specific church.
The topic proved helpful and en
lightening and many people took
part in the discussion.
Ladies Aid Meets
The Ladies Aid of Murdoek met at
he home of Mrs. James Mills on last
Thursday for the bi-weekly meeting.
Every member present enjoyed the
lfternoon and the luncheon.
The organization met two weeks
ago at the nome ot Mrs. enaries
Long. A fine social fellowship made
the afternoon very pleasant in spite
f the severe weather. The member
ship closed the year 1920 with thirty
nembers a gain of eight.
The organization has become well
Bquipped to serve banquets or lunch-
3ons for groups or organizations. The
.vomen added to their equipment dur-
ng the past year, so they would be
n a better position to serve orga
nizations when called upon.
Mrs. Leo Rikli is the 1937 presi
leut and Mrs. Fred IJuell is secre
tary of the group.
Special Guest Speaker
Dr. Carl Heinmiller, of Cleveland,
Ohio, Executive Secretary of the Gen
eral Missionary Society of the Evan

uest speaker at the Murdoek and
Louisville churches Sunday. Febru
ary 7th. He will give the messages
or the special Day of Prayers em
phasis in these churches and will im-
oart other Missionary information
hroughcut the day.
The special offering for the occa
sion will be used for the work in the
newly organized China conference.
While the Chinese Missionary work
has succeeded for many years, it has
only recently been organized as a
onference under Episcopal direction.
After several years of restricted work
in China, during which time many
Evangelical missionaries were tem
lorarily withdrawn from the fields,
the work is now taking on renewed
efforts and success. New recruits are
again entering the country to give
them the gospel of the Prosperous
Way.
Dr. Heinmiller and the Rev. Har
vey Schwab were classmates and
graduates together in the Evangelical
Theological Seminary at Naperville,
Illinois, in the spring of 1927. Since
that time, Mr. Heinmiller has served
is a pastor and a district superinten
dent in the Oregon conference. In
1934 he was elected to the present
office of the church.

Aiding Kentucky Mountaineers
The Murdoek Woman's Missionary
society recently gathered consider
able clothing and quilt patches for
the Red Bird Mission at Beverly,
Kentucky.
Several large parcels were packed
and prepared last Wednesday by
Mrs. William Rikli and Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Heineman.
The urgent tall was sent out by
the Evangelical church recently to
supply the extreme needs among the
mountaineers during the winter sea
son.
Missionary work in the Kentucky
mountains was begun near Beverly,
Kentucky, less than twenty years ago.
During the years many moral, social,
mental and spiritual changes have
been witnessed among the people.
Children, who were once deprived of
even the most rudimentary educa
tion, have graduated from the public
schools down there, entered high
school and have even gone to col
leges and universities over the Unit
ed States and made good. A first
class hospital, church, high school
and dormitory equipment are minis
tering the the people.
The women are skilled In making
beautiful quilts for their homes. But
they have lacked the materials, so
the denomination is seeking to sup
ply them with adequate quilt patches.
Many fine pieces were included in the
Murdoek shipment.
Beverly, Bell county, Kentucky,
has a dictor, three registered nurses
and nineteen teachers and assistants
working among the people this year
Roark, in Leslie county, has four
leaders. Helton, Kentucky, has four
on its staff. Every member of the
total staff of thirty-one feels a per
sonal responsibility for the success
of thi3 large Home Missions project
of the Evangelical church.
The present church membership
numbers 33 C. The Sunday school has
an average attendance of 277. The
general church property valuation is
$143,880.00. This is the result of
less than twenty years of pioneer
consecrated leadership and foresight.
