National Holidays.

Considerable discussion has been
aroused over the question as to
what constitutes National holiday.
When a man should raise the Stars
and Stripes over his domicile has
never been commanded by act of
Legislature In the United States,
and 1t Is to be hoped that 1t never
will be. This Is not a matter Of
compulsion anywhere In this land of
liberty and freedom. but IS left to
the patriotic impulses of the people.
What may fall In line as true
National holidays might be limited
to the following:
Lincoln's birthday, February IL.
Washington's birthday, February
22.
Decoration Day, May 80.
Flag Day, June ID.
Independence Day, July 4.
THANKSGIVING Lay, on oate ID
November suggested by the
Governor.
This Is usually the last Thursday
of the eleventh month and Is duly
announced by a proclamation from
the President and the Governors of
the several States. These six holi.
days belong to this country ex-
clusively and are recognized by no
other nation. They should be
sufficient for the most patriotic
American, and 1t Is to be hoped
that their number may never be In
creased by Act OF Congress. The
State may be left to appoint other
holidays at their own option, In &C.
cordance with the views of the
majority of their citizens.

eihodisi Church Work.

Last Sabbath, Immediately after SER
vices at the Walhalla Methodist church,
there was short conference held. The
matter of assisting the Methodists of
Seneca in raising the funds for erecting
their church was discussed, and it was
agreed to solicit subscriptions from the
Walhalla Methodists, in order to raise
500 to assist the church at Seneca,
which has about 1900 on hand and
needs about $500 to complete the work.
The 800, we feel sure, will be readily
raised and forwarded at an early date
About $40 was raised in the church con-
ference without solicitation.
The matter OF building new church
at Walhalla was also brought up, and it
was unanimously agreed that the Metho-
dists here should erect suitable house
of worship in place of the little frame
building that has served several genera
tions. After the services on Sunday,
November 18th, there will be meeting
of the membership of the church for the
purpose of getting together in an effort
to secure new and creditable church
building. Every member is earnestly
request ted to be present and ready to do
