I'm Vt II ~ V' Nrt-t1N'
For the missionary committee.


We have reason to believe that many
members of our Christian Epdeavor Society
have come to love our prayer meetings, be-
cause in them they have received stimulus
for their lives and strength and encourage
ment for their work. 1t has been the aim
of our pray yer-meeting committee during the
year to make the meetings real spiritual
blessing. There have beeu frequent COM
mlttee meetings at which the work has been
prayerfuly planned The custom establish
ed by a prayer meeting committee several
years ago of having few minutes of prayer
with the leader just previous to the meeting
has been kept IN and we know this has done
good. With the hope of securing freshness
ana interest i'll the meetings variety of
program has been furnished. One evening
in January when our topic book suggested
the subject, THE day of prayer for colleges
we heard OF how the day is observed in
some of our colleges and of what different
preachers think of the religious atmosphere
of the colleges. We invited the Baptist So
ciety to unite with us in observing G. E.
day. The rainbow exercises. published by
LLt lnlltO society OF OH1lSuldl EHU6dNOr,
were used, and brief talks given by the pas
tors. We arranged program for a temper
ance meeting one evening. At one of our
conservation meetings the members respond
ed to the roll call by giving verse or two
of a favorite hymn and the reason for it.
The reading of Mr.. Sheldon's story, "For
Christ and the Church." made one service
interesting and profitable Another meet
ing was devoted to Mr.. F. B. Meyers COM
ments on the twenty third Psalm. And re-
Gently we had Moody meeting. when our
thoughts We're turned to the life and works
of D. l.. Moody. 1t is cheering to notice the
Willingness with which the members re-
spond when asked to take their turn in lead
ing the meetings. We feel that there has
been some slight gain in the participation in
our meetings; but let us pray that n the
new year we may see still more prayerful
spirit in our meetings, and a greater consci-
entiousness in keeping the prayer meeting
pledge.

The Emperor of Germany has a run
ming ear. Just think of it; a man at
whose beck one of the strongest armies
and navies Of the whole earth could be
set in motion, a man whose rule is abso-
lutte over the country ofmedical universi-
ties, a man whose slightest caprice could
press into service the most noted savants
and philosophers on earth, has running
ear and is unable to find a cure!
Now contrast the experience of the
following citizens of the United States
with the Emperor of Germany. Like the
Emperor, they failed to find cure. But,
unlike the Emperor, they happened to
be plain citizens of the United States,
rather than the center of the inner court
of the most exclusive and carefully
guarded aristocracy of the world. In

For the Music Commit,
MISSIONARY COMMITTEE,


The Missionary Committee undertook its
work with that clause OF the constitution in
mind which says that the Missionary Com
rnittee is to interest the members of the
society n all ways IN missionary topics. We
have not been able TO do all that We wished,
nor have we succeeded quite as we hoped.
We have had during the year 16 meetings
of various kinds, 4 of which We're the regu-
lar c. f. missionary meetings called for by
the topic book. For one of them we plan
ned a program, but asked each member in
dividaally to find some item of interest, and
provided papers or magazines for those who
wished. There have been two union mis-
sionary meetings for one of which we plan
ned program on mission work for children.
At the other Miss Millett spoke to US most
earnestly and interestingly of her expert
ences in India, showing also some of her
curios. Twice informal missionary meet
ings have been held at some private home.
These have been very pleasant affairs, the
members bringing their sewing, and some
providing candy. The brief program has
lieve such meetings held regularly would
prove successful and well worth having. A
box Of clothing was sent last winter to one
of our Maine missionaries at Acton. We
met evenings to sew for this, and 25 of our
members helped IL its preparation. The
Ladies Sew ing Circle also shared in the
work and lie be when finished was valued

The Old and New Botany.

In the older botany the plant alone in
itself was the subject of study. The newer
botany takes the plant in its surroundings
and all that its relationships to other
plants may suggest as the subject for
analysis. In the one case the plant was
all and its place of growth accidental q
dried specimen from any unknown habitat
was enough; but now the environment
and the numerous lines of relationship
that reach out from the living plant in
stu are the major subj jects for study. The
former was field botany because the field
contained the plant, the latter is field
botany in that the plant embraces in its
study all else in the field in which it lives.
The one had as its leading question,
What is your name and where do you be
long in my herbarium? while the other
raises an endless list of queries, of which
How came you here and when? Why
these curious glands and this strange
movement or mimicry? are but average
samples Every spot of color, bend of
leaf, and shape of fruit raises question.
The collector of fifty years ago pulled
up or cut off portion Of his plant for a
specimen, and rarely measured, weighed.
and counted anything about it. The
phytoecologist to-day watches his sub
ject as it grows, and if removed it is for
the purpose of testing its vital functions
under varying circumstances of moisture,
heat, or sunlight, and exact recording in
struments are part of the equipment for
the investigation.
The underlying thought in the seashore
school and the tropical laboratory in bot
any is this of getting nearer to the haunts
of the living plant. Forestry schools that
have for their class room the wooded
mountains and the botanical gardens with
their living herbaria are welcome steps
toward the same end of phytoecology.

KATE V. MILLS,
For the Social Committee


Most Of the work Of our committee has
been arranging for special music at the meet
ings. We have been fortunate in having
m us at different times through the year
d humber who could sing for us, and did 50
willingly at our request. And so, with their
assistance. we have been able to arrange ex-
ira music once each month, and oftener
through the summer. We wished for new
singing hooks but agreed with our President
in thinking it not advisable for this year but
as we Lad so few books for use IN our
meetings arrangements We're made for buy
ing some Of the Baptist Society like those we
already had, and the committee repaired
quite a number Of them. AT the beginning
OF the veal the music committee called the
attention Of all to the Importance of singing
and asked each one to aid in the praise SER
vice Of the meetings. 1t has seemed to me
that mere attention has been given to the
hymns, both IL the selection and the singing.
| wonder if We have not all been helped by
evident thought bestowed by our pastor
upon the hymns used in the various church
services expressing as they often do, our in
dlvidnal pTal eE and praise, and so becoming
IL a tue sense part Of worship for us.

union meeting and money earned by sale of
holders, we have raised S42 03 for mission
purposes We have had more than this to
spend, because there was quite sum in the
treasury at the beginning of the year. Near
ly $50 has been expended in our own State,
and S24 given to foreign missions. We have
found the work of the missionary committee
interesting and instructive, and we feel that
at least the members of the committee have
gained IN knowledge of missions and in their
interest in the cause.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE.
The question of how to make the Social
Committee best serve the needs of the socl-
ETY. is really puzzlng one. 1t Is not so
difficult to furnish entertainment that shall
interest: but to do some real good. to draw
into the society some We hope to reach, to
make others feel more at home among
us, to furnish work for some who need it
and would be glad to do 1t, and also to raise
the money for paying the soprano singers,
these are the questions that come before the
Social Committee
If the words of commendation that have
come to us were sincere we have no reason
to doubt that the entertainment provided
was acceptabe and we hope that the COM
mittee has been useful in some of the other
ways mentioned.

During the last month the committee has

last social is due tc our president. who has
always been ready to help where she was

This half dollar social was the outcome of
a plan suggested in the early summer. The
members of the Society were asked to pledge
Themselves to earn some definite amount
towards the music fund, and to pay the same
before November. The pledges amounted

vond this, for after the social it was found
that the sum of SIS 90 had been raised in
