Mrs. Ada Klink spent Sunday in Syracuse visiting friends. Mr. and Mrs. Thurlow Mock and family were shopping in Fort Wayne Saturday. Angels Gabriel was the angel that told Mary she was the chosen one to be the mother of the Christ child. On the eve of Christ 's birth it was a number of angels who brought the glad news. In early Renaissance angels were painted without wings or halos but later artists painted them with both. Down through the centuries their exquisite and melodic song has never changed. Angels are displayed in woodcuts, statues, and paintings playing various instruments — their mouths rounded in song. Composers in every century have tried to capture the beautiful spiritual meaning of the angels' songs. Nicer Things would be a lot nicer if people would be more ready to pat a fellow on the back instead of punching him on the nose — Telegraph. Sidney. Neb.
