Guest speaker for J the occasion will be Miss Bertha Scheldt, furloughed missionary of the Evangelical and Reformed church to Honduras, Central America. Thank offering boxes, which have been in the hands of the members of the Women’s Guild and others in the church, are to be presented in this service. The pastor, the Rev. William C. Feller, will be in charge of the service, and he will be assisted by the thank offering chairman of the Women’s Guild, Mrs. George Thomas, who will read the Scriptures and lead in prayer. The senior choir, under the direction of Harold Cox, will sing “A Song of Thanksgiving,” by J. A. Parks. Mrs. J. Fred Fruchte, organist, will play, “Fantasie on Jesus Shall Reign,” arranged by Wilson for a a prelude, “Lord, Thy Goodness Reigns” by C. P. E. Bach, for the offertory, and "With Thankful Hearts” by Frick, for the postlude. Miss Scheidt, the guest speaker, has spent 34 years in Honduras doing evangelistic and educational work. For a number of years she was the principal of the grade school in San Pedro 1 Sula, and succeeded in raising the school to a high standard of efficiency. There always were more applications for admission than the school was able to take care of. She was educated at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, and Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, 111. Her home is in Van Wert, Ohio.

Miss Scheldt's missionary career has been a most interesting one from the very beginning. In a letter •from Conception del Norte, addressed to friends shortly before leaving Honduras, she wrote as follows: “On September 5, 1924, my birthday, I started out from Van Wert, Ohio, for, Honduras, C.A. Going across the Gulf from New Orleans, I was a lone woman among 20 rough men, one a dope fiend. The tiny cabin next to the engine room was suffocating. Here I became acquainted with some of the tropical pests that would be a part of my life in Honduras. It was the time of one of the worst revo- ' lutions in the history of the gouni try. My radiogram announcing my | arrival did not reach its destination. A native mand a German fruit company employe helped me through customs. Senor Ortiz found a couple of boys and a hand-: car to take my baggage to the Palms Hotel where the proprietor spoke English. On the way we were stopped by fierce looking soldiers with rifles. Senor Ortiz appeared at the crucial moment. The boys must find a wheelbarrow and carry the baggage the rest of the way for the handcar must not pass’ by the armory on the railroad, track.” Miss Scheidt left Concept tion del Norte by airplane. Although retiring from active service. Miss Scheidt will continue to live in the lives of scores of Honduran friends who have been privileged to come under her influence during her many years of missionary service. All members of the church and friends are invited to be present for this thank offering service. Mrs. Jonas C. Tritch of Fort Wayne visited in Decatur Wednesday and Thursday. While here she stayed at the home of her grandaughter, Mrs. James Schackley on Master Drive.

INDIANA (Continued from page one*! Capehart (a Republican)’’ to “maintain and extend” accomplishments of Democratic-spon-sored farm legislation. Handley said at the luncheon for Brownson that “Hoosiers can be extremely proud of the record of our Republican members of Congress." “Their voting record for economy in government is one of the finest of any state delegation. It correctly reflects the keen desire of the citizens of Indiana to eliminate frills and cut government expenses. This team with a proven record of performance and experience deserves the support of every Hoosier voter.” Handley charged that organized labor's Committee on Political Education distributed leaflets "deliberately distorting” his attitude on "right to work” by saying erroneously that he favors a national “right to work” law. Matthews Assails Estes At Richmond, GOP state chairman Robert W. Matthews said that this week’s campaign appearances by Sen. Estes Kefauver, head of a Senate crime investigating committee, were a window dressing "cover up” for vice conditions in Hartke’s hometown of Evansville. Matthews said it is "extremely amusing” to read Kefauver’s statement that he knows' “intimately” of Hartke’s “successful efforts at wiping out vice and gambling” in Evansvile. Hartke attended and spoke at the same rally at which Johnson appeared in the Hoosier capital Thursday night, while Handley finished a drive deep in'o the 7th and Bth Districts. Jenner spoke in his home town of Bedford, winding up his campaign' in behalf of the GOP ticket by charging that “socialists” control the Democratic Party and want to control the government before the:people awaken. "We are not going to be fooled," he said. Handley said at Boonville that Hartke is “the hand - picked
