DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, APRIL 19, 1926

BANK BOBBERY ’! IS FRUSTRATED Bandits Frightened Away At Ohio City; Leave Car And Tools Behind An attempt to rob the Farmers’ Bank, at Ohio City, Ohio, early Frl- | day morning, is believed to have been frustrated by a young man who called loudly at a door phone for a physician. who resides across the street from the bunk The youth's calling and the electric lights turned on in the physician’s house are believed to have frightened away the bantilts, who left behind a stolen automobile anti a large supply of burglar tools. W. C. McCrory fount! a coplete set' of burglar tools in the office of iiis| hay barn just back of the bank, Fri-i day morning. The outfit included am acetylene torch and tank, a tank of oxygen, goggles, gloves, wire. rope, "jlmmie” screwdriver, brace ami bit, and burlap sacks. It is thought the burglars intended to enter the ban), through a rear transom. A Chrysler sedan, stolen from O. J. Roush, former Lima chief of police, was parked in an alley near the place where the burglar tools were found. The upholstery in the car bore marks of yellow pliint. dike that on the acetylene tank. Police officials maintained all possible silence concerning the attempted robbery all day Friday, in hope that the men who planted the tools and abandoned the machine might return for them and be captured. o_ — BACCALAUREATE SERVICES HELD SUNDAY NIGHT ICONTINL'ED FROM place, last night. He told the pupils of the responsibilities that would be placed with them and charged that they carry out their plans of life so that they would always be worthy of the great sacrafices made for them. The Rev. 11. W. Thompson, pastor of the Christian church of this city, delivered the address to the Monmouth high school class at she Concord church. He urged that the. pupils prove to their friends, parents and the community that their time spent in preparation for their lives, ■was time well spent. Kirkland Service The baccalaureate services for the Kirkland high school graduating class of 1926 was held in the Pleasant Dale Dunkard church last night. Mr.. Dan Byerly presided and had charge of the devotionals. The Magley Reformed male quartet rendered sever-* al very appropriate selections. The, Rev, D. Grether gave the benediction., The Rev. A. R. Fledderjohann, pastor of the Decatur Zion Reformed church delivered the sermon. The church was crowded to capacity. Rev. Fledderjohann’s subject was “The Road Map of Life” based on the ninth verse of the 119th Psalm, “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to Thy Word.” The speaker said in part: "Members of the class: We are gathered together here tonight in the interest of life. This service is in your honor; it is in the interest of your lives. You are looking back tonight upon accomplished tasks, or perhaps upon the patience that your good teachers had with you, or upon the hours of cramming and the misery of examinations —in other words this is the culmination of your four years’ high school training. But my good friends, life does not end here. The graduation from your four years’ high school training is only the beginning and commencement of life's work and life’s problems. I hope that tonight you may be looking onward, forward and upward to far greater . and still unfinished tasks. , “Therefore, it this, then, is your , beginning and commencement of life let us turn our attention to the i subject as I have stated it, ‘The Road Map of Life.’ I need not tarry long in explaining to you what a map is, • for you will have acquainted yourselves with a good many during your course of study. But my Mends we are living in a time when the soealled ‘Road Map' is much in demand. Our highways are lined with tourists and travelers during the summer time and they are wanting to know where the good roads are at Good roads are in demand. We find that practically every tourist equips himself with a good road map before starting on his extended tour, a map which has the names and numbers of the highways, so that the tourist may reach his destination byway of the best roads and the best conveniences. “Members of the class, I want to remind you tonight that you are the

I tourists, starting out upon the tour <>f life and that you need. to equip and acquaint yourself with th* ’Road Map’ of life before you start th* 1 text a« ** have It before read*— (■Wherewithal shall a young nian I cleanse his way?’ For this occasion! tonight let me read It thus: How, shall the young man. or the young! woman tour the tour of life?' Wo answer 'By taking Cod’s Map in hand and following th* markings of thnt map.’ That map and guide is the. i best marked guide and map publish-1 cd. It has the solution of every dlfflr cult road we come to. It never misdirects. No matter what your life's calling or vocation may be. the taking heed of Cod's Word leads you on to earthly and eternal success. “ ’Wherewithal shall a young man, or a young woman cleanse his way, he way?' la other words, 'How shall a young man. a yonng woman make | life successful?’ Is there a more tin- ' portant question that any young man lor woman can ask? Never was there ' a fitter time for asking than at the commencement of life. “if I would ask each one of you tonight—‘What is your highest ambition?' I feel certain that you would answer something like this—’That I might be successful in life; live a life that is worth while'. If that is your ambition, vou have the right ambition for the original thought of God is that every life should be worth while living. But the ambition need not stand alone. It is not merely a bare ambition. We have a rule, a standard, if applied, that ambition can be realised. This rule and standard we find in God's Word. Therefore we answer, ’By taking heed thereto according to Thy Word.’ That Word speaks with authority. “But most of all it reveals God and eternal realities. It presents the spiritual side of life. Something tb it Is so much needed in all the transactions of life today. The message I

Mvaavnoa*■•• ■“■■■■■ dcrlr* ta bring to you tonight Is that you recognlxe Cod in your every day dealings, in your relationships between man and man. Without the recognition of God in your life you will be aa successful as the rich 1 man that passed the poor beggar J every day, but when life’s Journey| I was ended he found himself in torment. This Word contains a rule of every calling and vocation you nw), choose, as I stated before, “What may some of these rules, ■be as found in the Word that might be applied to the business life and every day transactions? 'As y* would that men Should do to yon, do ye even so to them' Is the golden rule found In the Word that can well be applied in every calling. Another Word of the Master is this rule: ’Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain’. This was an old law of the Romans, but the Lord puts the Idea of love, readiness and willingness into it. In other) words, going the second mile is the mile of love and willingness; doing the little extra things. Andrew Car-i negie said to a graduating class one tiifie in referring t othfs rule of life: ‘There are three classes of people, one class says they do their duty and do It; another class say they do their duty and do it not; another class do their duty and just a little more. Do your duty and just a little more and you need not worry about the future, for the future wil take care of itself. “A great educator has said: ‘The end of education is that the student shall learn to know himself, to know his age. to know God.” Members of the class are: Mae Stoneburner, Homer Yaney, Edna Borne, Lowell Arnold. Esther BaumBuckmaster, Alfred Heller, Jeanette gartner, Roy Schlickman, Dolores Wilson, Walter Smith. Frances Liby. Gerald Andrews. The Monroe high school baccalaur-

'cate service was held In the ’Metho, dlst church at Monroe last night.j The sermon was preached by tho| Rev. .Mr. Foster, pastor of that church. There are sixteen members of the graduating class. The commencement exercises will be held next Monday night, April 26.
