HOW SCHOOL WORK IS

Dear Friends in F. C. and L.: You
there in your homes and among friends,
don't realize the good your thoughtful
letter of remembrance did me this
morning as read it so unexpected.
No matter how busy or how pleasant
things may be. or how much good one

word of encouragement came just
when it was needed and was greatly
appreciated

such a prosperous and harmonious
condition and trust the coming year
you may double your membership. If
the ladies of Grand Rapids could be
made to feel the good you are doing,
| feel sure all would want to be en-
rolled as members.
AS today is Sunday will tell you
how we spend the day. We have
nearly 800 children and fifty-eight
employees, all very nice and friendly.
At a. m. our band Of thirty-six
pieces commence playing; the children
are marched from their buildings to
the front of the Girls Home where the
superintendent, matrOns, tailor and
seamStress inspect everything about
them. After inspection they march
to the chapel where Sunday school is
held. ALI employees are expected to
assist.
At 2 p. m. the band gives a fine
concert which brings hundreds from
Phoenix. 1t looks very much like a
city as every body is on the move and
the sun always shining. At O'Clock
some OF the pastors hold open air
service of one hour. At Z O'Clock all
go again to the Chapel where service
is held. Tonight we are to have the
noted r. G. Seymour, D. D., of Phil
adelphia, secretary of the American
Baptist Publishing society. Our
superintendent is very strict Bap-
tist and no games or play of any kind
is allowed. With SO many heathens

COMPLIMENTS TO
REV. BISHOP WELLER
What St. Paul Paper Says Of a Sermon
by Bishop Weller


In speaking Of a sermon recently
delivered in that city a St. Paul
paper says:
The Rt. Rev. Bishop Weller, of the
diocese of Fond du Lac, closed his
mission at the church of the Good
Shepherd with an instruction and
sermon on death and the future life.
The church was crowded, and the
preacher was heard with the absorbed
attention of the people
The bishop, in his preaching en-
ploys the direct and simple method,
as far removed as possible from the
Emersonian habit Ct some preachers.
and such are his earnestness, his mag
netism, spirituality and understand
ing of the human heart, that he is
wonderfully effective.
The church people of st. Paul first
became acquainted with Bishop
Weller when he preached a Leuten
sermon in Christ church last year.
At that time his sermon on st. John
the Baptist created a profound i'm
preston.
Hereafter whenever he comes to
st. Paul he will receive a cordial well
come. He is to begin a. mission SER
vice in the church of Gethsemane,
Minneapolis, on Jan. 10. Bishop
Weller is southern born, and is the
fourth generation of clergymen in
his family. He possesses in full
measure those finer southern quail
ties which are admired the world over.
