CHURCH REJ0|CES,
Presbyterians Made Happy by
Members Generosity.
WILL RAISE CHURCH DEBT.
MIR. Samuel Smythe Makes Splendid
Gift to Church $4,000. Toward
Payment of indebtedness.

The annual meeting of the Presby-
terian Church. known as the Congrega-
tional Meeting, WAS held last Thursday
night. Intesting reports of the various
officers Of the church were received as
we'll as reports from all of the organi.
cations connected with the church.
During the year there have been
added to the church membership
twenty-six. The various societies
making up the church as whole
appear to be in a progressive state.
The current church expenses have
been met with the exception of the
annual interest upon the mortgage and
note Indebtedness. The total indebted
ness was shown to be $6200.00.
.'Uncle'' Samuel Smythe has had his
eye,on this Indebtedness Tor some time
and although he could not attend this
meeting, a message which he sent
made it one of the happysmeetings of
the church. Through his representa-
tive, Samuel Luney, Mr.. Smythe
offered to pay $4,000 90 provided the
entire Indebtedness of the church was
paid by June 1. 1905. With this splen-
did proposition came the possibility of
liquidating the church Indebtedness
and Immediately another subscription
of $1,000. was made bv Sears McHenry
with the same provision being made,
whereupon the matter was taken
up by the meeting and it was resolved
to raise the balance. A committee con
sisting of Samuel Luney, George Davis,
Sears McHenry and Adolph Stueber
was appointed to solicit subscriptions
for this purpose.
53 The REVIEW certainly wishes this
oommittee full success in their under
taxing: The Ruespy yiesiaas lave q
splendid church property and it was a
large responsibility that this society
shouldered when it SO wisely planned
ias. improved its present church site
Well can Denison boast of all hel
fine church properties and let all assist
at this opportune time of need" OF
e this individual congregation.
Mr. Smythe, whose generosity makes
possible the lifting of the heavy load
Of debt under viii III the church hal
labored is one of the pioneer farmers o

Irish stock from which SO many of tn
loyal Presbyterians are drawn. Fo
many years he has lived quietl5 in Den

of which he has been communican
for third of a century shall share ii
the prosperity he has attained. He fel
it better to remember the church nov
than to remember it in his will, feelln
that the sooner the debt was paid tn
sooner it would cease to be burde
upon the congregation. The Presbyte

After all if you get enough people of any
profession together there is always some
one in the bunch to make the whole APP
pear foolish. One Doctor at Des Moines
gravely announces that neither man nor
woman has any moral nature that can be
appealed to that will keep them pure and
that only an appeal to their physical nature
will avail. At the same time another
Doctor at the Nebraska convention calls
the President to task for his talks upon
race suicide declares there is no danger
Of falling of of the baby crop and urges
that what we need is better care of the
babies we have. Both speakers have
some truth with them. 1t would be well
if people were better informed of the
blasting effects of moral depravity but this
does not argue that the restraint of gooe
morals is not great safeguard. 1t is {
! fact that the babies should be we'll cared
for and the subject of their up-bringins
given more attention, but this doe no
argue that the President is W rong in urg.

The Oldest living thing in the
world is a tree. A cypress, growing
at Chepultepec in Mexico, has
reached the amazing age of $500
years. As nearly all trees add one
line about the tenth of an inch TO
their circumference each season, il is
easy for botanists to count their age
with all the accuracy Of statistical
table. What a story il could unfold
il endowed with the faculty Of Ian
guage. All the governments of the
world are but as yesterday compared
10 the existence of this venerable
cypress. II was in full vigor before
Abraham left Urr OF the Chaldees.
II was Hourishing and even then old
when Moses led his tribes of nomads
from Egypt, when Joshua was cross
ing the Jordan, when Deborah was
composing her song about "the stars
in their courses fighting against
Sisera" The Assyrian empire ante
dated the kingdom Of Cyrus, this in
turn gave way to the conquering
Alexander, Rome arose 10 supplant
the Grecian civilization, but all these
events seem modern to the voice of
the grove that speaks from the old
Mexican cypress.
This tree had given shade to the
barbarians of the Mexican table
lands thousands of years before
Columbus set sail from the port of
Palos on his epoch making voyage
to the New World. 1t was there in
all its glory when Balboa looked out
for the first time on the Pacific
ocean, while the brutal Pizarro was
invading the land of the Incass, when
Magellan made the first trip around
the earth and when scores of bold
navigators were sacrificing their
lives in fruitless search for the
mythical Northwest Passage" The
old cypress tree was there when
Cortez marched along on his way TO
conquer the city of the Montezumas.
Its spreading branches sheltered the
weary warriors and witnessed the
bloody onsets that presaged the
destruction of the ancient empire Of
the Aztecs. But the old monarch
could tell us tales far pleasanter
than those of war; il could unfold
particulars of many a romantic
episode stories of love and tender
passion. Perhaps Malinche herself,
lovely princess of dying race, had
enjoyed its shade while charming
Cortez himself, and thus conquering
with resistless beauty the one who
had conquered all the rest of her

JOHn WRIT prSsHORE. Eaitsr

A story is told OF an English min
lister who, being called TO pray by
the bedside Of a dying man, sought
to take him by the hand, in token Of
their agreement in offering united
prayer. The sick man withheld his
hand, keeping it under the bedclothes,
and the minister prayed without il.
Presently the man died, and then as
his hand was uncovered the mystery
was explained he was holding in
his hand with the grasp of death a
key-the key of his safe where his
money was kept.
The Lewiston journal" tells OF a
man in Durham, Me-, who was very
penurious and a very determined
man. He died at an advanced age.
On his death bed he kept his right
hand closely clutched. As he drew
his last breath he frightened his hold.
Everybody there knew what he held
in that hand. II was the key to the
chest in which he kept his gold.
As his nerveless hand Enclosed,
the key dropped from it, and clat
tered against the bedside As if to
hold il even after he was dead, the
miser had tied the key about his
wrist by strong cord, which he
grasped as long as life remained.
He could not take his gold with
him but he kept the key. They
buried him as he was, with the key
to his money chest tied about his
wrist.
"And what became of the gold"
ooh, the heirs have taken care of
that just the same! They split open
the chest with an ak, and divided
the gold, and let the miser keep the
key about his wrist" He is molder-
ing in the grave, and the key is
resting beside him. 1--WE brought
nothing into this world, and il is

IL is much more important that a
man take pleasure in his vocation
thaH in his vacation, because he
spends more Of his life at il.
Indeed, il is not too much TO say
that IL man enjoys his daily work he
will not enjoy his vacation, however
mnch he may expect 10, for he has
not the capacity for the enjoyment Of
the realities Of the present. he deals
only in futures.
Tho only happy man is he who
feels that he is accomplishing some
thing, does something worth while;
who feels himself an indispensable
cog wheel in the great wheel Of the
universe; who believes that nobody
can quite take his place when he
goes on vacation.
Without this faith in himself and
the Importance Of his work, a man
is lost. No pay, however large, no
prospective vacation, however en-.
ticing, can compensate the man who
does not feel delight in the job he
has completed because he realizes
that he is Of use in the world, that
he is enlisted in the social service -

Mrs. j. c. Kirby, Atlanta, ILL.,,
having noticed the account of Mrs
j. A. Anderson's butter record, sends
this account Of what can be done in
Illinois:
Mrs. Robert Pech, living south of
town, is one Of the most successful
butter makers in Central Illinois.
Those who have used her butter,
including the writer, can vouch for
the fact that the product of her dairy
is first class. Mrs. Pech keeps
account of every pound Of butter
produced by her and has closed up
her books for 1904. In the twelve
months, exclusive of the amount
used in a large family, she sold
2,5i0 pounds. Most of il was
shipped to Chicago and none of il
was sold for less than 20 cents per
pound, the entire amount averaging
% cents, the total being S5S8.S0.
The butter was made from the milk
of six to eight cows.
