Shown in the top photo is the church and in the lower photo, building: before remodeling took place to convert the structure into a place of worship.The First United Brethren Church, located on Columbus-av, celebrated its 15 months of service in this community with a church dedication service conducted by Dr. A. R. Clippinger of Dayton, Bishop of the Central Area of the United Brethren denomination, Sunday afternoon.The United Brethren Churchclaims to be the first denomination to originate in the colonies, in the year 1767. It was not until 1800 that the church was formally organized. There are four conferences in Ohio and the local church is a member of the Sandusky Conference founded in 1837 along the Sandusky river.The local church is the result of the work and financial investment of this conference of 150 churches. The present building was purchased by the conference trustees at the cost of $7,500. Remodeling of the building was accomplishedwith small exceptions by the ministers and some laymen of the conference. About $11,000 was spent in remodeling the building into a church and apartment-parsonage and the* grading of the grounds. This total amount was assumed by the conference, leaving no obligation to the local congregation of 30 active members.Bishop Clippinger spoke to the local congregation and the large number of friends present. He spoke at the Sunday morning service on the subject. “Individual Loyalty and Church Security.” Miss Eloise Hammond of Lakeside gavecouldn’t eat in comfort or retain what did get that far. You'll be quite all right after this—better than you have ever been. in your whole adult life. Don’t worry. Just relax. You have the bestsurgeon in the world to do the job, you know/'A little color had come into the patient’s thin face as Sally talked. Now he spoke, “Will you do something for me, Nurse?”'he asked diffidently.“Of course,” Sally told him. “That’s what I’m here for, What is it? Get word to Miss Niles?” “Why, how did you know? Has she called?”“Several times; but you know, of course, a hospital doesn’t give out much information. I’ll get in touch with your people after the operation and will put in a call for Miss Niles right away. What shall I tell her? Don't you want to send her some message?”The man closed his eyes for a moment and then said softly: “Tell her I’m going to be all right and that I shall be glad to see her— after— When could she come, Nurse?”“Possibly not for several days or a week but wby not wait and see how you react? I can always call her, you know. Anyone else?” “No. No one else. I don’t want to see anyone—else—for a long, long time.” He sounded very tired and Sally lowered the shades and suggested that he try to sleep for an hour.“You’re going to need a lot of sleep, Mr. Vtrgii” she told him, “and I’m here to see that you gelit.”I “You’re kind,” he murmured and soon slept.Ann Niles arrived soon after two that afternoon and Sally left her with her parent while she round a scat in the corridor where she could keep close watch against interruptions. She felt those two needed some time to themselves and was determined they should have it. When Etta Virgil came hurrying down the long corridor, she headed her off. Doctor Willoughby happened tobe passing by iust then and stopped for a moment,“What goes on, Sally?” he asked curiously. “Just why did you refuse the sister admittance? He isn’t worse?”Sally shook her head and standing close to him whispered mysteriously: “He’s entertaining his sweetheart and the family hateher!”“Now—now!” the r e s i d e n t chided, shaking a finger at the nurse.“She’s sweet,” Sally said softly. “I wish you could see them together. It—it’s—well, it s wonderful! I was so afraid I shouldn’t be lable to keep that sister of his out; but Miss NJes has stayed quite long enough for the first day. I hate to do it; but I’ll have to send her off.”“I want to see her—I’ll stick around for a minute.” The doctor grinned.Sally opened the door, after knocking discreetly, and entered. The shining faces of the two inside spoke volumes and her smile was sympathetic as she interrupted them.“This is our patients first day for callers, Miss Niles, and we mustn’t let him get too tired. I’m sure you can come back tomorrow—in the morning, if you like. Probably his family will want to come in the afternoon,” she explained tactfully.The girl blushed and thankedher, while the eyes of the patientwatched his beloved adoringly.finally went off 1uty that afternoon and Margaiet Adams met her on the stairs leading to the dining room.

The patient gazed at him wide-eyed in something like trepidation.“It is just as we thought from the preliminary examination,” he continued. “We shall be ready to operate at 2 this afternoon, Maynard.” He departed and the patient stared after him.“It sounds much worse than itis, Mr, Virgil,” Sally told him. “There is a pouch or sac, easily operable, on that portion of the alimentary canal between pharynx And stomach.

It has been very hard to keep her away from you.”“I suppose so; but—please let me have a few more days — alone.
