10T CAT BRINGS DONATION FOR HOME ' Local Tngtitution Gets Quarter of Million Through Prayers Alone How a stray cat brought a denation to the Children’s home in New Britain, is one of the interesting stories told in the 18th annual report of that in- . stitution just published. This won- derful home, for which almost $250,- 000 has /heen given in the past 18 years, without a cent ever having been solicited by ‘the founder Rev, J. E. Klingberg, except ‘through prayer, ia unique in that circumstance. From all parts of the country, peo- ple ‘who réad in the daily papers and & Swedish monthly of the Children’s Home in New Britain, send checks and cash contributions, Many small amounts of $1 and $2 are recetved from widows and children. The story of the cat is one of the muny tales -of human interest, which the report reveals. A family in Brook- Iyn had a cat’ of which the membern were very fond. The cat had been in the family for many years and waa loved by children and parents alikn a3 a member of the family group. But !, one day it disappeared. A thorough + search of tho house and adjacent neighborhood. failed. . to . reveal any traces of the absent pet. The miséing felire wan mourned as lost and the ch’ldren ‘wefa heartbroken. « But the family did net give up hope. It wan felt that tho samo divine provi- dence would take care of tho missing ca:. Thelr falth was fustified and shortly afterward: the lost animal re- turped, none the worse for its adven- ture. Sc great wan the gratitude of the fanilly that a check .fér $6 wai sent to Rey. Dr. Klingberg to be plac- ed in the Childrén‘s Home treasury as a thank offering to Ged for the re- turn of thy household pet.

Quality Framing At Ohrnstedt’s IF SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES APPLY SULPHUR Just the moment you apply Mentho- Sulphur to an itching burning or broken out skin, the #tching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin specialist. This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, ' that nothing has ever been found to take its place. Because of its germ destroying properties, it; quickly subdues ‘the itching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly erup- tions, rash, pimples or roughness. You do not have to wait for im- provement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Mentho-Sul- phur at any drug store. Trinity Methodist Church SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9 Old Fol 10:45 A.
