   HENRY J. SCHAIBLY PROVES HIMSELF A REAL BENEFACTOR TO HIS CHURCH--PAID
   FOR CHURCH PIANO AND WIPES OUT DEBT ON PARSONAGE
   
   That the real old-time church sentiment and religious devotion still
   exists in the minds of men and women of the present time, and that such
   people are right in our midst, is an absolute fact. Many instances to
   prove this can be cited, but the most unusual and recent ones we think
   of are the cash donations made by Henry J. Schaibly a member of the
   Liberal U. B. Church of the village.
   
   Most of our readers will remember that a few years ago, when this church
   was confronted with the question of buying a new piano, Mr. Schaibly
   came forward with the necessary $200 in cash to make it possible. He
   gave it willingly and in the face of the fact that he had no such
   instrument in his own home.
   
   Again, a few weeks ago, when the Ladies Aid Society had succeeded in
   raising $100 to reduce the debt on their parsonage, in the same spirit
   and open-hearted way he put up $250 more to wipe out all the remaining
   debt!
   
   Now, Mr. Schaibly is not a wealthy man. While he has a good farm, he
   has no great amount of money in the bank and needs a better and more
   modern home for his family, and he does not yet own an automobile. He
   is really one of the hardest working men in the whole community, lives
   very simply, and scorns anything that savors of style, extravagance or
   luxury. Such being the case, it is all the more proof of his genuine
   sincerity and deep religious convictions. He very reluctantly gave us
   permission to mention his donations in any way whatever, and declares
   that if any praise is due for them, it should be given to the Lord, who
   has made it possible for him to give anything for the support of the
   church.
