August, and September were the only months to fall belOw the 3,000 collection figure. a-. New Building Delayed At the recent regional meeting, it was learned that there will be a slight delay in beginning construction of the new Red Cross and regional blood center. The deal on the sale of the old building fell through in the final stages, and negotiations had to be started all over with other interested parties. »_ Final 1962-63 budgets were fixed, and back to the districts and chapters for action by ' the local boards. The Adams county chapter win get a 3H% lower figure on its share of the cost of the new building by paying the entire amount at one time rather than in quarterly installments for ten years. < —— | ■ •*’ i Boy Is Critically Injured By Auto « MARION, fed, (UPI) - Eight-year-old Kim (Stntrell of Marion was injured critically Thursday . when hit by a car at a youth camp on Wagner Lake operated , by the Marion YMCA. . a- ’

Proposed Kirkland Tax Rate 12 Cents Kirkland township’s proposed township rate is 12 cents, the same as requested last year, but one cent more than the rate allowed, according to the notice to Kirkland township taxpayers published in Thursday’s Daily Democrat. Last years’s 11-cent rate raised $2,410 this year, while the budget calls for $2,653 in 1962. The raise is necessitated by an increase in the cost of fire protection, estimated at SSOO for 1962, compared with S3OO this year. The township poor relief rate will be figured separately, and released through the county auditor's office. A total of $2,000 was requested in poor relief, compared with $450 last year, a substantial increase. «

UNION CHAPEL EVANGELICAL UNITED BRETHREN “Serving this Community for over a Century” Kenneth P. Angle, Pastor Tom Gaunt, S. 8. Supt. Church School — 9:30 a. m. Inloomiionol tTntforaa Bun<Ur School L«mom WWW/WL ■Lili Bible Materials Acta 0:88-0. Devetleaal Materials Romans 18:84. This Wat She Lesson for August 8, 1961 THE LAST judgment is God’s; but toe first judgment it the neighbort*. The very first it the family's, to be sure; but Dorcas’ family is not mentioned. Dorcas Is one character whom we never

see alive; all we know of her is what the neighbors thought of her at the time she died. Everything was ready for the funeral, till some one thought of sending for Simon Peter. Perhaps they expect-

Dr. Foreman

ed the miracle, perhaps not At any rate, Simon prayed ... and there was no funeral after all Remembered-For What? A funeral it a great place for m.emQries. EYen pne comes early and they sit there thinking about their memories of toe one who has died. And after the funeral they talk with one another about the one they all remember. But if people are remembered, it is always because of something in particular. One man is remembered for his funny stories, another for his bad temper, another for his sharpness in business, another because he was toe governor. Good, bad indifferent, we shall all be remembered tor something or other. This Dorcas was remembered for clothes—not the clothes she wore but those she had made for others. In those days a widow had no way of earning an income, and life Insurance was unheard- | ot So Dorcas had with her own hands made many a garment for poor widows—and that was what the women brought to the funeral, Suppose Dorcas had been a dreamer and an intender? Suppose she had thought that making clothing for poor neighbors was somehow beneath her dignity? Suppose she had dreamed of some big thing, like changing the world so there would never be any poor people anywhere? Good intentions —dead good intentions—may be remembered st the funeral, but they are not cherished. Better to be remembered for one small handkerchief actually made, than for a princess* wardrobe intended but unmade. They Wanted Her Back Most people at a funeral would tell you they wish they had her—or him—back again. But all the stories about “dead” people sitting up in their caskets also tell of panic in the audience. Most people who have acquired the title “Late” —like “the late John Smith”—if they came back three months after their funeral, would find themselves in an embarrassing position. Somebody else would have the old job, maybe somebody else would be living in the old house . . . worst of all, after the many nice things that were said at the funeral, it's too bad to spoil it all by going back, in real life not quite toe saint you were said to be by the preacher. People really want you back only if you are truly indispensable. Dorcas was that rare kind of person. Her needle and thread, her practical skill, all gone now. There was no one to take her place. People wanted her back, just as she was. Even God wanted her back, or Peter’s prayer would have been in vain.—How much of a hole would you lea Ye if you died today? Sovon-day Religion We do not know what creed Dorcas professed. Would she have been a Roman Catholic, a Methodist, a Presbyterian? We are not told. How long every day did she ait reading the Bible? Was she high church or low church? What did she do with her Sabbath days? We do not know,— nothing was said about these items when Peter came to that upper room. The things the women showed him were things that Dorcas made on week-days, no doubt It was what she did on week-days that made her memorable and beloved. Now we do know one thing about her mind and heart She is called simply • “disciple.** She was a follower of the Lord Jesus, she believed in him above all But having said this Important thing about Dorcas, Luke (writing Acts) ' at once says, she was full of good ' works and charity. Maybe she was full of enthusiasm—of kind words —ot true doctrine—of good looks —of education, or what not That was not the point That was not the way she was remembered. She was fog food wsdon.

LIKE PARENTS — LIKE CHILDREN Rev. James R. Meadows The most effective religious influence you exert upon your sons and daughters comes from the example you set before them. Your character streams into your children; it enters through their eyes and through their ears every hour. How quick they are to imitate! No photographic plate is more sensitive to the images which lodge there. Your irritations irritate them, your dissimulations make them tricky and deceitful, your malicious gossip sets their “teeth on edge.” If you talk money, money, they will conclude that the chief end of life is to get rich. If you prefer the playhouse to the prayer meeting, they will become lovers of

pleasure more than lovers of God. If you set a decanter on your table, your boys will sip t!heir first * wine glass there. It you give your cjhild a dollar for the place of amusement and only a dime for the contribution box, you teach him that self-indulgence is ten times more important than Christian benevolence. If you live for the world, your children may die in worldliness and be lost forever. Not more surely do you provide the clothes for their bodies than you weave the habits of their lives and the mind garments that they will be wearing after you are dead. As clothes are made stitch by stitch, so you weave their characters by numberless little things and by your unconscious influence. The Christian or unchristian atmosphere of the home is created by the parents. THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “Then were there brought unto Him little children, that He should put His hands on them, and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”— Matthew 19:13,14.
