CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES.


 At the Congregational church, Rev Mir Carter gave an excellent discourse on Christian forbearance from Genesis 13: S-9. Years ago minister said of us that we were the most self.satisfied people he had ever met. If this is so the cOrrels- tive proposition of self-wi;l goes with it, and like the good old deacon we are lia- ble to be terribly sot in our ways. Why do have 8 way unless 1t is the right way; of course my way is the best, and you had best get out of it, or lcck hcrn al of which shows weakness for the man of superior strength and know ledge is graciously yielding. He was wise maI who said that all socis relations of what ever kind are based on compromises There was enough in the sermon to gc around and some left over for those who were not there.

In addition to the destruction

suffer severely during their migrations
from brd-hunters in Italy and France.
Millions are thus slaughtered every
year. and the Society for the Protection
of Birds has been asked to protest to
the governments of France and Italy
on the ground that the killing of the
English birds while crossing their ter
ritories is leading to serious increase
of insect pests in England. England
has never been backward in protect

her aegis will be found to cover those
that wear feathers as we'll as those
who dress in clothes.

Wear Mems Gloves.

The latest masculine wrinkle which
girls affect is masculine gloves, not
gloves made in a mannish style and
fitting the feminine hand, but gloves
that are cut on masculine lines, de-
signed for masculine wearing, and but
toned with the single button that holds
together the abbreviated kid wrist. The
gloves are short and square and made
Of heavy dogskin and stitched marked
ly in white. The fingers are big and
clumsy, and the entire glove is almost
twice the size which the girl ordina-
rily affects. The bigger the glove the
more stylish the result. The mascu-
line glove is entirely in keeping with
the stubby, ugly masculine shoe.
