has taken number of pictures of the
Home and of the children at work and
at play. These and a number of others
have been mounted as slides. There is
fine picture of the New Shelton Mem
orial cottage under construction. A
dairy scene, where the boys are churn-
Ing and the girls are attending to the
milk and butter. Children on the straw
stack and many others.
Notwithstanding the wet weather the
crops of the Home have been fairly
good this year. The summer collec-
lions have been short and the treasurer
is anxious for the fall contributions to
begin to come in. He has had to bor-
row money for current expenses.

AN OPPORTUNITY.

There is a minister in our Synod who
has charge of an entire mission county.
Three hundred dollars of his meagre
salary is paid by the Synodical Commit
tee. During the few years of his pas
torate he has reprinted, renovated and
refurnished the two churches which
were there, built one new church,
good two-story school house and is now
enlarging the manse. He travels many
miles during a week, breaches three
times each Sunday, one year had as
many as seventy-five professions of
faith in his field and God is blessing
his work in a wonderful way. His
faithful old horse, whose service made
it possible for him to do such a great
amount of work, died few days ago,
and it is absolutely necessary for him
to have another. His salary is so small
that it is impossible for him to pur-
chase one.
Will not the literally disposed per-
sons, who read this appeal generously
send some contribution, large or small,
to me to go toward replacing his great
loss? This is a case where quick re-
Spouse will be doubly appreciated and
doubly blessed. Cordially yours,

Miss Julia Dysart of ST. Joseph Nh
was appointed as missionary to Koroo'
and Miss Carrie L. Moffett of Lebanou'

ate in celebrating the centennial of tba
Haystack Prayer Meetings by holding
missionary meetings on November 13tb
and 18th, with special reference to that
event.
A communication from representa-.
tives of the Y. M. G. A. Brazil re-
quested special prayer for the work
Of the Protestant churches now being
carried on in that country and in South
America. Special prayer was offered
for this cause in connection with the
closing exercises of the committee
meeting.
The secretary was instructed to reply
to the letter of Rev. w. M. Junkin Of
the Korean Mission that the committee
has heard with sympathetic interest the
request of the Mission for an imme-
date reinforcement of ten new work
ers, and that we are especially gratifed
to learn of the plans of that Mission
for developing the native side of the
work.
Mr.. Junkin's letter stated that with
this reinforcement of ten missionaries
the Korean Mission would undertake to
complete, by the aid of such native
workers as they might be able to de-
velop and train, their work of evan
gelizing the Southern part of the PEN
insula.
The report Of the treasurer showed
receipts for the month of September
of $9,343.43, a loss as compared with
the corresponding month of 1905 Of
$1,068.5S.
The treasurer's report also showed
that the committee is sorely in need
of funds with which to pay the regular
appropriations to the Missions. All
church and society treasurers having
such funds in their hands are most ur-
gently requested to forward them to the
Office Immediately. S. H. CHESTER.

The strawberry grower of the Canon
City district is busy man these days
and 10 making every effort to harvest
his crop as fast as IL ripens. which
keeps him "goin' some" The cool
weather during the last week in May
and the first few days of June kept the
berries from coming on as rapidly as
they would otherwise have done, which
gave the Missouri berries a longer
lease on the local market than usual.
The recent warm weather has shown
dealers the futility of shipping in the
Missourians TO be sold in competition
with the home grown berries, and the
latter now hold undisputed sway in
the Canon City markets
The berries, as a rule, seem to be
larger this year than common and are
Of excellent favor. The Indications
are that there will be less Huctuation
in prices than was the case last year
and that the income from the crop will
be a little above the normal II is

fruits, and the trade is carefully looked
after by those in charge of the Fre-
mont County Fruit Growers Associa-
ton
1t is extremely difficult to estimate
with any degree of accuracy the value
of the strawberry crop in any given
locality for the reason that more than
any other 1t depends upon the condi-
ton during the ripening season and
the vicissitudes of the market 1t is,
however, reasonable to suppose that
growers residing within four or five
miles of Canon City will receive at
least $4,000 for their crop, although,
as we have just stated, conjecture of
this kind must not be taken too SER
iously as any one of half dozen con-
tingencies may serve To increase or
diminish its value, as the case may be.
Following the strawberry crop will
be raspberries, currants. gooseberries;
cherries, etc. The currant crop will
be a big one and the demand for them
is an assurance of good prices. The
Early Richmond, which is about the
first cherry to come into market, will
begin to ripen about the 25th inst, and
by the first of July ought to be plenti
full in this city. The Montmorency and
other varieties are later. the season
closing with the English Morillas. of
which there is promise of big yield.
The first home grown apples TO
make their appearance in the windows
of local dealers will be the Yellow
Transparent, of which the crop this
year will not be very prolific one.
The light yield, however. will be no
serious detriment TO growers as they
will probably get good prices for what
they have to sell IL there was a
big crop the price would be very low.

picking them and taking them TO

The committee having charge of
the matter of raising money to be Of
fered to the locating committee of the
Synod of Colorado as one of the in
ducements to secure the establishment
of the proposed Presbyterian college
in Canon City has practically complet-
ed its work and its proposition will be
laid before the Synod at its meeting at
Colorado Springs tomorrow.
What sort of an offer Pueblo, Delta,
Montrose, Grand Junction and other
competitors for the college will make
to the committee is, of course, un-
known, but it is not believed that any
of them will be able to hold out greater
allurements than Canon City, certainly
not If the climate, physical environ
ment and moral tone of the community
are to enter into the contest as factors
in its determination.
Aside from the natural advantages
which Canon City possesses its propo-
sition will be backed by cash subscrip-
tions amounting to s25,000, an amount
that the committee can hardly afford
to ignore, unless some of its competi-
tors for the contemplated institution
of learning offer a larger sum of
money.
1t is not too late to subscribe to the
college fund yet and those of our read
ers who have not given anything to-
ward it and feel able to do so should
see Mr.. Pressey, chairman of the local
committee, at once. No more praise
worthy and helpful enterprise could
college of the scope and magnitude of
the one under consideration and every
property owner ought to do something
to help bring it here. 1t is only by
long pull, strong pull and pull
all together. that such institutions
can be located in towns of this size
