Episcopal Church Plans

2-Week Vacation School St. Matthew's Episcopal church

will conduct a two-week Vacation Church school August 14-25 with classes Monday through Friday In the Guild Hall next to St. Mat-thew's Chapel in the Reed Build-ing. Entrance is on S. Union St.

The program will consist of wor-•hlp, class Instruction, handwork and recreation beginning each morning at 9 a.m. and concluding a t 11:30 a.m.

This year's course taken from The Episcopal Church Fellowship Series is entitled: "The Nlcene Creed." It is adaptable for all ages from nursery through the ninth grade. The purpose of the .course Is to teach the child the basic beliefs of the historic church as contained In the Nlcene Creed. As an aid to the child's under-standing, the following methods will be used:

1. The words and concepts in the Nlcene Creed which are too

difficult for him to grasp without assistance are explained.

2. Application of these beliefs to the child's own life are made.

3. The reasons for the writing of the Nlcene Creed are given.

4. The Creed Is committed to memory by the older children.

5. Classwork and handwork pro-jects are correlated with the text.

St. Matthew's decided last Spring to experiment with a late Summer Vacation Church School instead of holding it in June. Two reasons prompted this decision.

First, xrtany children seem to be "tired'' of the dally routine of school at the end of the public school year and long for the free-dom which comes with summer vacation. Secondly, time seems to "hang heavy" for the children later In the summer, when they ore more prone to welcome an organized program.

Last week Wednesday the Kent

City Garden club cleared $115 from its annual outdoor breakfast. This

amount has been earmarked by

club members for the fund for a

new building for the Kent City branch of the Kent County library.

The breakfast followed by two weeks a garden club meeting where the main topic of discussion was "How we can make our local library more .serviceable and at-tractive."' The club has sponsored numerous projects to aid In the betterment of its community li-brary.

Mrs. Clarence Johnson, Kent City Garden club president, said that sooner or later the Kent City library must have a building of its own. It's the dream of Mrs. John-son to make this building a reality.

This view is shared by other members of the club as well as the Kent City community. How-ever, the garden club has given voice to its conviction with ft spe-cial library committee. Working through this committee the club presently is conducting a summer story hour for children.

The club recently purchased new linoleum for the library. And when I lie library moved during the first week of April from a single room in the Kent City Hotel to its present location next to Saur's Grocery. 11 was the garden club which provided valuable assistance.

This all brings to mind a state-ment by Prof. Howard Y. Mc-Clusky of the University of Mich-igan. It went something like this;

"The University of Michigan can now analyze a community, its personality and potential by the library. The library, churches and schools are the three most vital functioning bodies. Studies of these bodies help us to ascertain some of the facts which are needed to reach conclusions that can save thousands of dollars for people who are considering the intro-duction of a business or enter-prise into an area."

This is why the work being ac-compllshed hy the members of the garden club is so important. Much of the future prosperity of the community is dependent upon their success.

We hope that others will help out with contributions or |)erhap.s even eventually with a memorial which could turn that dream into a reality with a minimum of delay.

100 YEARS AGO . . .

Gen. Lyon, 487 Others Die At Wilson's Creek

By Lon K. Savage

It was perhaps six o'clock in the

morning when the long roll sound-ed,, and up and down the gullies,

ravines and cornfields along Wil-

son's Creek in southwestern Mis-

souri, 11,000 Confederate troops began getting up, starting their

breakfasts under the scrub oaks and grumbling over the drizzle that had fallen during the night.

Approximately a mile to the north, Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, the red-bearded Yankee who had saved St. Louis for the Union rode among his army of 4.500 talking: "Men, we are going to have a fight. We will march out In a short time. Don't shoot until you get orders. Fire low—don't aim higher than their knees . . . , "

And about a mile to the south, 1,118 Union soldiers under Gen. Franz Slgel were stealing along between a fence and a woods to attack the Confederates from the rear at the same time Lyon at-tacked from the front.

Lyon's and Sigel's target was a vast army of Missourians, Louisl-anians, Arkansans and Texans encamped 10 miles south of Spring-field, Mo., under the command of Confederate Gen. Ben McCulloch— an army that nearly doubled the size of the attackers. It was Aug-ust 10, 1861, 100 years ago this week.

Lyon Attackw

Lyon moved his men Into the attack at dawn, Infantry and cav-alry leading, a buttery of artillery following. They were met by Confederate pickets who fell back, shouting out the warning. At the same time, Sigel captured about 40 men, then opened up with ar-tillery from a hill and attacked the Confederate rear with his Infantry.

Within minutes, the battle be-came a continuous roar, and the

men were falling dead on top of each other In the cornfields.

Then, quite suddenly, there was a lull. Missouri Gen. Sterling Price, serving under McCulloch for the Confederates, reformed his lines, brought up reinforcements and counterattacked. Rank af ter rank of Confederates charged through the bullets and into the Union line. Lyon ordered every available man into the fray.

On the far side of the field, meanwhile, Sigel had met catas-trophe. Stopping momentarily during the same lull, he, too, was counterattacked by overwhelming numbers, and his men turned and ran in panic, not to be heard from again that day. The Confederates now turned their full fury on Ly-on.

Lyon Wounded

Lyon, meanwhile, was In the thick of it. First, his horse was .•hot. Next, a hall grazed his leg and blood trickled from it. Then a shot creased his scalp, and the blood ran Into his beard. Still he rode among his troops, shouting them forward. Only to his top officers did he confide. "I fear the day Is lost." /

Finally, bringing up the last of his reserves and personally leading them in a charge, Lyon was killed. A ball smashed into his chest, and he fell into an aide's arms and died.

At that, the ranking Union offi-cer. MaJ. Samuel D. Sturgls. pulled his remaining men back and head-ed for Springfield in retreat. The casualties were about the same on both sides: 223 Union men and 2fi5 Confederates killed; 721 Union and KOO Confederates wounded. But 291 Union men. against only 30 Confederates, were missing.

Next week: Illness lakes its toll.
