We believe that this organi. zation accomplishes a work wherein the average church of the day fails, in that it reaches people whom many of our churches care little for—at least make little effort to attract to their service.

About this time Cal. appeared on the scene and shot the bear in the head, killing him almost instantly. The bear is what is known to hunters as a yearling cub and weighs about a hundred pounds. ~Tyrone Herald, Serious Hallow'een Mishap.
