Rev. O. M. Kraybill, of M'ddletown;
the Rev. G. W. Harper, pastor of the

Church of God choir sang.

Pastor Says All Should
Profit by Defalcations
of Trusted Employe
At the Second Reformed Church
yesterday morning the pastor, the
Rev. Harry Nelson Bassler, referred
to the defalcation of George Shoe
maker, the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe
Bending Company employe.
He said that while sympathy would
be felt for the wrongdoer, his cr 4 e
should cause inquiry into our own
lives and the lesson of carefulness and
honesty in all our dealing should be
learned by all familiar with the
story. "Let us, in thinking over this
young man's crime," sai'd the preach
er, "be more thoughtful as to our
conduct. Let the wrongdoing of this
fmploye bring us a little closer to
God and impel us to keep In the
straight and narrow way. Here was
a trusted employe who yielded to
temptation, reaching out and taking
that which did not belong to him.
ISympathy should be secondary. We
should profit by the lesson shown and
be honest and upright in all our deal
ings with our fellow-man."

cates respectively to discharge other
