Democratic papers, which were
quoting statistics to show the de-
creased foreign trade Tor August, as
compared with last year August,
thus indicating, as it appeared, a de-
creased industrial activity, are not
saying so much when they discover
that the decrease related principally
to crop products due to smaller than
usual yields, and that the exported
products of manufacture showed an
increase. The bountiful yields of
this year indicate heavy exports for

The query has come to the pas
tors mind whether the announce
ments each Lords day morning are
looked upon as a mere matter of
form or whether it is real benefit
TO the church and congregation. Do
more people attend the Sunday

and the evening service than would
come otherwise2 We most sincere
ly hope that all the services Of the
Lords house may receive our
thoughtful and prayerfnl considera-
ton throughout this winter The

pie are not more active in their

pleased 60 have any one call upon

be held in the church parlors at
1O.15 Sabbath morning.
At the church service Sabbath
morning in addition to the sacra-
ment of the Lords supper there will
