Bible Thought for Today presents a devotional from Ezekiel about the Lord as a shepherd who seeks and delivers scattered sheep, illustrating divine guidance and care for believers. The brief meditation reflects early 20th century religious period tone and emphasizes spiritual rescue and protection.
A fragmented literacy piece traces age based verse and jests with clippings from a University of Texas clipping bureau. It weaves playful lines about youth wisdom dancing into adulthood, punctuated by quips on law, medicine, digestion, and a kingdom by the sea.
A mosaic of comic poems and snippets from a late century page includes surreal romantic lines about cannibal imagery, a fragmented tale of a man coming home with a new car, children’s vignettes, a bank and department store exchange, and humor columns. The collage features streetwise jokes, cartoons, and captions from Toronto Daily Star era miscellany.
The excerpt lists daily English lessons and word notes from a periodical. It highlights mispronunciations and misspellings, gives synonym pairs, and hints at vocabulary practice. It includes a guide to using a word repeatedly and introduces a challenging term about governance and temperament.
By The Way notes the season arrives with a cheerful report of a sale followed by musical mentions. Clarence speaks, John Dusenberry whistles La Palo variations, Dr Réginton’s tower chimes up to fifth moor intervals, and Frank Melinsky offers The Prisoners Lane in song or whistle. Doctor Clow shows a composition, even faucet packages are praised, and a playful line hints at a comic tale of a nickle pulled from a pocket and an Indian reaction.
A breezy column advises open windows, lightweight clothing, and touring by car. It promotes fresh air, cool wind, and driving on open roads while warning against pneumonia and urging comfortable, leisurely travel. An anecdote about a Scotchman humorously closes the piece.
A mix of cartoons and short bits recounting dialect quips, classroom asides, and miniature sketches. It references Abe Martin style humor, a Japanese student note, a horseplay anecdote with a cab, and rural country gags about aging, schooling, and daily life.
Funeral service held Sunday afternoon at United Presbyterian Church for Jerome M Wilpay a Keota veteran and pioneer.
