The basket meeting at Gobd Hope Sunday was quite a success, being well attended and all reporting a profitable meeting. Rev. G. H. Clarke preached both morning and afternoon, owing to the absence of Rev. Rardin and Rev. Schafer, the former not having returned from conference and the latter being at Winona Lake.! The dinner was spread at noon and there was an ample supply of good food for all who were there. A lively time was had at the Sparling farm Friday afternoon, when the Rennie children, Pattie and Margaret, bf Chicago, gave a toy shower in honor of their little cousin, Billy Sparling Miller. Billy is just 7 months old and 7 little girls were invited, namely, Helen Duvall, Helen Warner, Kathryn Chamberlin, Ruth McKinzie, Alice Kenna, Lucille Knox and Lucille Nagel. Refreshments were served of ice cream, cake and nuts, and then they were all given an automobile ride, and Billy sure enjoyed his toys. There were 127 tickets sold to Chicago for the excursion Sunday, while a number of others went up on the 10:05 train. The Cubs-r Giants ball game attracted many. It resulted in a victory for the Chicago players, much to the delight of some 25,000 fans. Chicago performed the remarkable feat of making four home runs during the game. Crandall was sent in to pitch for the Giants after Ames had been slaughtered and three home runs were made off his pitching and he was forced to give way after the seventh inning. The excursion returning reached Rensselaer at 2:30 o'clock. There were sixteen coaches on the train and all well filled, starting out with a good crowd from Lafayette. Mrs. William Oeschger, who is a granddaughter of C. D. Hopkins, of Rensselaer, and a daughter of C. A. Hopkins, of Delphi, left this morning for Lincoln, Neb., where her husband has just been chosen president of Cottner University. Mrs. Oeschger spent only a few days here, on her return trip from abroad, where she visited a number of foreign countries during the past three months. She attended as a delegate the world’s Sunday school convention in Washington, D. C., and then the. world’s missionary conference at Edinburg, Scotland. She witnessed the Oberammergau and was delighted with it, saying that it certainly has not deteriorated as had been reported in some newspapers.
