phrases in writing business letters. A
short time ago he had to write a letter
to a client in a ~neighboring city regard

come up before the court in the course

licited was highly essential to his case.
In writing this epistle he made use of
a letter head with his printed address
at the top. In closing his letter he sign
ed himself thus, John Langdon, adj

After waiting several days for the
reply, which did not come, he again

asked why he had not sooner answered

ceived a reply in which the client said
thai he had answered the letter and

The following resolutions were
adopted by the Plankinton Associa-
tion of Congregational churches

request that they be published in the
city papers:
Resolved. That we. the Plankinton
Association, convened in this beauti-
full city of Mitchell, extend to it's
citizens and the supporters Of the
Congregational church our deep
appreciation of the cordial and hearty
reception they have accorded us in
the city, and especially in the homes.
The incentive for much of the inter-
est and enthusiasm of the meetings
was received in the home before at
tending the sessions. Our hostesses
must have read what Harriet Beecher
Stowe once wrote that ministers
and delegates always eat powerful
and acted accordingly.
Resolved, That we extend our
thanks to all participating in the
various sessions and especially those
who gave us such a rare musical treat
at each evening session.
Resolved, That we hereby express
our appreciation of the kindness of
the editors Of the newspapers Of
Mitchell for the space given in adver-
Using and reporting the meetings Of
u association.
Resolved, That in the addition of
three new churches, of three new
ministers and four new licensed
workers to our association we see
signs Of progress and reason for
r%everent thanKfulness to Heaven
ly Father. To these ministers and
churches we extend the love and
sympathy of this Association.
Resolved, That We commend Ward
Academy for it's devotion to Christian
education, for the thoroughness of
it's teaching, for the refinement of it's
nome life and for the economy of it's
management and urge pastors and
churches not only to give the school
financial aid but also to send to it
students.
Resolved, That we regard with
anxious concern the growing power
Of the saloon in its demoralizing and
debasing influences and hereby call
upon Christians and patriots Of
every name to unite in resisting and
destroying this enemy of the home,
of the State Of the church and Of a
pure and stalwart manhood.

Modifying 1t.

Mrs. G. was Mortified to discover that
her little seven-year-old daughter was
acquiring the habit Of abiding very
freely to the devil. and at last she told
her determinedly that a repetition Of
the obnoxious word would bring severe
punishment.
The child knew that her mother was
in earnest, so she set a seal on her lips.
At last she seemed to have forgotten
it, but n Sunday Mrs. c., who had
been too i'll to go to church, asked her
if she could tell what the minister had
preached about in his sermon.
"Oh, yes'm," she answered. "He
preached about our Lord going up into

Viewpoints Architecture.

The cottages of Newport afford a
strange commentary upon the CON
trasting tastes of the American ma
ton. Their heterogeneity were impos-
s1ble in a race of settled culture, in a
race Of common blood, in Il country of
limited extent. But the United States
is a nation of nations. Its people are
not Americans, but Englishmen and
Scotsmen, Frenchmen and Germans,
Italians and %Spaniards of the third or
fourth or tenth generation, says the
Smart Set. Their taste in architec-
ture is a taste that was born on the
sunny Mediterranean shore, in cozy
Normandy orchards, in classic Spain
and Italy,, in baronial Scotland and
England. 1t is revealed in the cha
teaux, the castles, the villas. the log
gias of Newport. Seville and Wei
beck, Florence and Falaise, here stand
side by side on the same strip Of grass,
separated only by a grille from Venice
