First Contribution to
Gresham Memorial Fund
In response to the International
crusade started by the Evanavllle
(Ind.) American Legion post to cre
ate an International war memorial
at the grave of Private James Bethel
Oresham, tbe first American who
"went west" In the World war, the
New Cumberland post, Pennsylvania,
wired what is believed to be the first
contribution to the Evansvllle post
to apply towards the Oresham
memorial. It was the first contribu
tion sent by a Legion unit from the
department of Pennsylvania and
probably the first In the country.
Private Oresham's grave N now
marked only by a milk bottle con
taining a note In fnded letters : ."James
Bethel Oresham. He died for you
and me."
If the plans of Kvansvllle poBt are
realized, a beautiful monument will
be erected with the central figure
to represent Private Oresham. The
other figures will represent the first
soldier to die on the battlefield for
the other allied nations engaged In
the recent war.

Here Is a modern parallel of the
widow's mite. An American Legion
solicitor out seeking funds for the

the lad said, "I've been selling papers
for two weeks now, and I'v'6 saved, out
side of what I Just had to buy to live,
a dollar. I want to give it to the Le
gion. You fellers gav& more than ^ial
for us." And the newsle poured Into
the hand of the ex-service man a dol
lar In pennies and nickels and harried
away. "James Dickey post Is Justly
proud of that contribution," said a
Legionnaire. "It makes us determined
to give the best we have In peace-time
service."

?Communion with Je8u8 ehclat.
I. The Passover Prepared (vv. 7-13.)
I. Tho Disciples' Inquiry (vv 7-9)
Tliuy inquired of Jesus as to where
the.v should prepare for the Passover.
I hey no doubt were anxious to be of
service to Him.
(vv To1lo?Itt?nr'S Stran?e directions
(\v. 10-1.). ii, ey were to g? into the
Utj whore they would meet a man
bearing a pitcher of water. He as
sured them that they would then be
shown a large upper room furnished.
^be(llence of the Disciples
; Th?y <llu not stop to ques
tlon the sanity of the command but
like true disciples obeyed. Jesus be
cause HP ,8 omniscient, knew just
how the matter would turn out.
II. The Pass&ver Eaten (vv. 14-18)
1. Ry Whom (v. 14)? Those who
sat down to this last Passover feast
were the Master and the Twelve
Apostles. ..
15"j8JllS WorUs ^Tnto Them (vv.
(1) "I have desired to eat this pass
over with you before I suffer." How
anxious lie was to show them the
meaning of the passion through which
He was to go; nlso He craved their
human sympathy as He nassed
through this trying ordeal.
?n ,WlH not any more eat there
Jl \?e fUlflIled ,n the kingdom
of God. His death was the antltypl.
eal fulfillment of the passover meal.'!
He looked forward to that rime when
the process of redemption would have
been completed and a perfect union
between the disciples and the Lord
would be consummated.
(3) "Take this cup and divide It
among yourselves." The disciples
were now partaking of that symbol of
His blood. He assured them that He
would not again drink of the fruit of
the vine until the kingdom of God
should come. Drinking anew |? the I
kingdom does not mean tliat- in heaven
th Is service will be renewed, but that
this was symbolic of ttie. br miv
reality. * I
III. The Feast of the New Covenant
Instituted (vv. 10-20). |
This took place at the close of the
paschal supper.
1. The Bread, a Symbol of Christ's
'*w Christ giving of Him
self to them. In order to get benefit
from physical bread It Is necessary to
receive It. In order to get benefit
from Christ one must receive Him.
2. The Cup, a Symbol of Christ's
Blood (v. 20). This was symbolic of
the atonement which was made by the
shedding of His blood on the cross.
He said: 'This cup is the new tes
tament In My blood which was shed
for you," Indicating that each one
must personally accept the atonement
made by the shedding of His blood.
'V. The Wicked Behaviour at the
Feast (vv. 21-27).
oiooThe Trenchery or Judas (W.
21-28). I
(1) The time of Its manifestation
(v. 21). It was while they were eat
Ing the last passover that Jesus made
the announcement of the betrayal.
Perhnps the reason why this feast was
disturbed by such nn announcement
was that Judas might be given an oi>
portunlty at this last moment to re
pent. . ? j
(2) The betrayal was by the deter
mlnate Counsel of God (v. 22 cf. Aets
2:28). Nothing takes place by chance
hven the evil, sinful acts of men come
within the permissive providence o*
God, but this does not lessen the guilt '
for Jesus says : "Woe unto the^man
by whom He Is betrayed."
(8) Sorrowful question (v. 23). The
disciples did not seem to suspect one
another, but made the question a per
sonal one.
2. Selfish Ambition of the Disciples
(vv. 24-27). In this tragic hour the
disciples were so concerned with the
thought of honorable position that
they were striving among themselves
as to who should be greatest.
V. The Apostlee* Place In the Klno
dom (vv. 28 80).
He assures them that those who
continue with Him In Ills trials shall
be appointed unto a place In the king
dom which will entitle them to eat
and drink at His table and sit on
thrones Judging the twelve tribes of
i Israel.

Twelve Good Reasons
for Owning One's Home
Here are a round dofcen reasons
why ilit* "Own Your Home" movement
Is worth while for every man to Join
eventually. "Why not now?" ? to uge
a well-known advertising slogan. The
reasons follow:
A home Is the best Investment you
run make, and It will yield the big
gest returns on your money.
It creates a feeling of assurance
and Independence.
It u big step toward future hap
piness and success.
You need not wait until you have
flie full amount In order to begin pur
chasing your home.
By making monthly payments you
pay for your home with the same
amount of money, sometimes less than
you are now paying for rent.
Kach month your equity In the
property becomes greater.
When you are living in your home
you are not living In an atmosphere
of uncertainty.
You will be secure In the thought.
"I will not be forced to move from the
neighborhood In which I have lived
for many years."
You can continue to worship in the
same church, your children can con
tinue at the same school and you can
continue the association and friend
ship of your neighbors.
You do not have to importune the
landlord, who l.*..deu?. to your urgent
plea to fix the roof, the l'urnuce or
the porch.
When you own your home you add
prestige to your standing In the com
munity and among your business as
sociates.
To own a home Is a duty you owe
your wife and children ? almost as
Important as life Insurance.

Would Take Billboards
From Public Highways
The National Association of Heal
Estate Boards has issued a statement
expressing approval of a law Just be
, coming effective in Iowa, which pro
hibits billboards on public highways.
The new Iowa law was enacted pri
marily as a measure of public safety.
A confusion of advertising signs along
the way obscures the official signs
placed to warn of turns, sharp curves,
railroad crossings and the like. But
it Is no less valuable as a measure for
conserving scenic spots for the enjoy
ment of the general public, the asso
ciation points out In its statement.
The view from the highway does
not belong to the individual who owns
the property along the right of way.
It is a community possession. Real
tors are Interested In the whole pres
ent movement to eliminate billboards
from highways where they are a blot
on scenery, a priceless public posses
sion.
Modern Principles
A grocer In a western town has Rn
arrangement with the pastors of the
various churches whereby he "swaps"
with them the names of new families
moving into town.
The merchant and the ministers Jot
the names down In little notebooks and
compare every two weeks.
This Is one of the plans used to get
the names of newcomers.
They also watch the papers and keep
In touch with real estate men. As
?oon as they learn of a new family In
town they call personally.
Finding the right place to attend
church or trade Is always a JM> for
a woman who has Just moved. So
she Is usually glad to give an order
to the one who takes the trouble to
call on her. And by starting on a
friendly basis they generally succeed
in getting her trade and holding It. ?

City's Need of Tree*
^Renutlflcatlon of Illinois cities
through city control of all trees along
the streets, for which there are laws
on the statute hooks, Is being brought
to th<^ attention of various cities by
I'. I,. IMielps of Ilochelle, 111., scien
tific forester, supported by the Illinois
Municipal league.
"Providing shade," Mr. Phelps says,
"should he as much a municipal func
tion as providing lights or sldewnlks.
To obtain satisfactory results It Is
necessary tlint the city own and con
trol all street trees.
"Nothing adds more to the heanty of
a city than Ita well-ordered trees. Thla
fact long has been recognized, and for
many years householders have been
planting trees adjoining their prop
erty In aijr effort to beautify that part
of the city In which they live."
Change in City Managers
City managers are not Invariably re
garded by the cities themselves an pre
cious possessions, a correspondent of
the London Times in America write*
to that Journal. Forty per cent of 210
managers have been allowed to serve
for less than two year*. One city in
Oregon haa had ten managers In nine
years, and Columbus, Oa., had three
In one year. Nevertheless, for all Ita
drawbacks, In theory and practice, the
clt.v manager plan seems to be making
steady headway.
