The college service flag now has thirty-nine stars. Rev. J, F. Tapy, pastor Of the Beav­ er Greek Reformed church gave the address of the day. His theme was “Obedience." He said in p a rt that obedience is one of the greatest and most important of words in the Eng­ lish vocabulary. ’He cited many ex­ amples of men %nd -yvo^en whom obedience to God had made noble and truly great, He also showed how that other qualifications without obed­ ience were useless. He emphasized the lack as well as the need of obed­ ience in home, school, church, and state; and he pointed out that ope of the most beneficent results of the present war would he a revival of obedience. The theme was presented in choice terms, couched in splendid thought and delivered with force and elegance. Miss Russell, the head of the -Music Department, rendered a well-received piano, solo. Miss Edna Hastings, of Pawnee City, Nebr., sang two beautiful solos. She was accom­ panied by Miss Dorothy Oglesbee a t the piano. ^ • Superintendent Parker and the Sen­ ior class of the High school attended the exercises. .County Superintend­ ent Reynolds was' present and made an earnest and encouraging talk.

Gilbert passed from us very unexpectedly, last Monday evening. While the lamp of life had burned lower and lower for a number of years, yet a t th& last the Lord bore "her rather suddenly away. She was bom near Chillicothc, O., and on the 31st day of August cele­ brated the seventy-sixth anniversary of her birth, being the last member of a large •family of children. At an early age she came with her par­ ents to Greene county, thus having spent her quiet but useful life in Cedarville. December J6, 1868, she Was united in marriage. to Lewis Gilbert, who preceded her to the other World over seven years ago# To this union were given four children wha now mourn the loss of both father and mother: Charles F. of So. Charleston; Ralph, of this country; Mrs. J. W. Johhson, and Miss Lena. The four grand-chil­ dren have lost one of their host friends in grandma. Being exceedingly fond of children, she was' neverctoo tired or too sick to entertain them and to enjoy them. Mrs. Gilbert was a woman of un­ usual refinement and of very high ideals. Her world was her home and her children to whom she devoted her life in the most pains-taking manner. She made every possible sacrifice in order that her children might have advantages. Irt disposition she was retiring and modest, revealing herself in the fullest only to those who knew her best. During her long years of illness, she was always very patient. Since a child she hns been a mem­ ber of the Methodist JEpiscopal church and was interested in all the different departments of church w^k . Dur­ ing the past few months, she has seemed to feel that the journey of life for her was almost over and fre­ quently remarked that death is not any worry, when one is prepared to meet it. . Those who mourn her loss, look to the great physician, who alone cap heal a hurjt like this for He says; “As one whom his mother comfor- toth, so will I comfort you.” COUNTY W. C. T. U.
