his employer $2.30 per $1 000.00 i r
$9.20 for. the $4,000 for one year. An
office man will only cost his employer
GO per $1,000 or $2.40 for the year to

granted to farmers, charitable insti
tutions and county and municipal em

SIU JOHN FRANKLIN ;
WAS NOT A BAPTIST
This Will be The Subject of the Text j
at The Baptist Church Next Sun- |
clay Evening...Good Orchestra at j
Li ° “-vices. »
....
Sir John Yvainuiu'O-... j,C®>,S|^ptist
But from his lovo of water you might
have concluded that he was. He
always heard 1 the call of the waters.
He was not a preacher but as no
and his crew sailed the many seas
which were then unknown they wo"-
shipped God each Sunday and Sir
John led the service.
The spirit of adventure led him to
tbo Great North cast passage. lie
was trying to sail from England and
Europe to Asia way of the West
In the cold frozen north west ho and
his crew went to nnd icy grave. A
pile of bones and group of books weie
all that were found ten years after
ward 1 .
It is an interesting story but per
haps the most interesting was the
text of this unusual man. What 3ort
of a text would you expect a man o’
this kind would select?
That text will be the subject at the
Baptist Church next Sunday night.
Franklin was not a reformer like Luth
er but be was a discoverer. There
was the same element of adventure
in each.
If the orchestra plays as well as
it did last Sunday night and if the
special music is as good there will be
a fitting setting for the text of Sir
John Franklin.
