heaviest down pours of rain that
has been seen for many day.
While the rain did not continue
so long, the quantity Of water

tinued to fall for an hour longer,
there would have been a flood ex-

The Children's Day services at
the M. E. church in this place
last Sunday evening were very in
teresting, and attracted a large
audience. The primary object of
these services is to raise money,
and each church has a special OBJ
ject to which this money is APP
piled. The Presbyterian people
use their Children's Day fund
for the extension of the Sabbath
school work, while the Methodists
use theirs to enable poor young
men of their church to secure an
education. From this fund they
lend students money to assist
them to get through college. The
students are then supposed to
pay it back into the fund, when it
is used to help others, and SO on
ad infnitum. This scheme was
started 2S years ago with $500;
since that time the Board has
loaned almost a million Of dollars,
aiding over 10000 students di-
/ rectly and over $4,000 indirectly.
