Bishop Fallo VS. says that the church
social is a matrimonial agency in dis
guise. We are not quite sure whether
this is said in approval or condemnation

contingent marriage fees it ought not to
be regarded as a bad thing.-Ex.
"A teacher in one of the public schools
of Indianapolis recently in a desire to
test the powers of composition existing
in a class of eight-year-olds, requested
that three sentence be written, each to
contain one of the three words, bees
"boys.r and "bear." A small girl labor
iously con 3octed the following sentence;
''Boys bees bare when they go in swim
ming"
1t has been published broadcast that
Mrs. Dowie, wife of Dowie the Zionite,

arrival of the "R&toration" army in
New York. The question that will
strike the average sinner as most pecu-
liar is "what was a great prophets wife
doing with so much jewelry about her
person."
Patrick Joyce has returned from
