six have united with the church, two on confession.
 An opportunity has been given to a considerable community in which a score of families prefer the church SUD- porting the wagon to attend church for whole year, most of whom would not otherwise have been able thus to worship;
 Increased friendliness between the two villages. This has been fostered by the use of the wagon on other occasions, thus promoting mutual ac- quaintance and helpfulness;
 People have been melted to take larger interest in getting their neigh Dor to attend church and in furnishing facilities for this end;
 Incidentally an opportunity has been given for showing Christian cot. tesyy. esy From f rofh the first it has been announced that the use of the wagon was free for any who wished to attend church, though they preferred to worship else where than with the church providing the wagon. There has been no loss on that score.
 MaEffeStly work securing such re- suits is not strictly charity and should not be so regarded at either end of the route. It is rather a cooperative movement in which impulses long felt have taken form and direction and many willing hearts and hands in all parts of the community have wrought in the good work which bleSses all connected with it. It is the organized effort of the church to do it's regular and proper work in a field which Providence has opened to it, and which promises larger and better results than almost any other within it's reach. It is strictly in accord with the methods of social science. Is there not occasion for more work of this kind in many country communities? TO. w. F.
 A SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER TAKEN CARE OF.
 A suspicious character has been around town for some weeks but whether he is insane or only shamming is hard to tell. Several ladies of the village were much disturbed to find him in their kitchens, which he would enter without knocking and Tuesday, on Austin Shit complaint, he was arrested and sentenced to jail where he will certainly be better off than wan dering around in the cold.
