METHODIST EPISCOPAL. CHURCH.
We shall do so much in the year to
come,
But what have we done today?
We shall give our gold in a princely
sum,
But what did We give today?
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,
We shall plant a hope in the place of
fear,
We shall speak the words Of love and
cheer,
But what did we speak today?
At our best we are queer folks and
instead of acting in the now time we
talk so much about what great things
we shall accomplish in the good bye
and bye. Yes, we'll give to the poor,
the fallen, and missions, we'll speak a
kind word tomorrow, but forget that
today all about US are anxious hearts
and bleeding souls who are dying for
the want of that which you are going
to give, and do tomorrow. Only as we
catch the Christ spirit and let it work
in our lives can we hope to change
successfully this order of things. The
Sabbath services are for the express
purpose of showing the way in this
direction. All are welcome.

To this method of cure by amputation the cases under experimental observation responded by getting quickly we'll. But the most remarkable fact ascertained was that the malady was spread by bees. The twigs attacked by the of which bees are very fond, and the insects, smeared with it, seek the nec- tar of the pear blossoms, thus inoculat- ing the trees and carrying the infection from orchard to orchard.

WOMAN HUNTER IN BRAZIL.
Capt Bell Returns with Skins of Puma
 and Wildcats.

capt Bell Returns With SklnS Of Puma
 and Wildcats
 Captain C. R. c. Bell of the quarter master generals department of the British army, and three other military friends, with Mrs. Bell and Miss Ten nant, have just returned from a ten weeks hunting trip in Brazil and are now at the Murray Fill Hotel They will sail for home shortly, by way of Canada. The party are taking back with them as trophies a number of rare birds, which they had stuffed in Rio and the skins of many wild animals of the Brazilian forests,
 Mrs Bell. who is a fine, vigorous l looking young woman, is a good shot and has travelled with der husband in many parts of the world where the best sport is to be had, In describing 1 some of her recent hunting experiences she said:
 Many will think, no doubt, that such an outing as Miss Remnant and I 1 undertook was extremely hazardous for wonderland it was. We had naturally, to put up with a great num- Der of .hardships, but past experiences had taught us what to expect and we were pretty well prepared for the trip I have fortunately, a strong constltu- ton, and such things as nerves I know nothing of. Besides, we had four men in the party to help look after us Wasn't that something?
 q have been on numerous hunting trips with my husband. Some of them were delightful, and some extremely dangerous and unpleasant to me Of all the expeditions I've ever under- taken, however, this last one to Brazil was in many ways the most dangerous and uncomfortable chiefly on account of the intense heat and the large num- Der of snakes we encountered. We travelled for two hundred miles west along the Amazon River starting from Obidos. The temperature often scared several degrees above the hundred mark even in the tree shade, and the route through which we travelled was infested with every species of snake. Indeed, so numerous were the horrible creatures that we were compelled to keep our tents encircled with live cleo trie wires in order to prevent them from entering. Often in the morning vixen we woke up we would find a dozen or more snakes lying dead around our tents, the live wires having killed them. Two of the men. folks always remained awake at nights, with loaded rifles, to guard against in- truders. I didn't enjoy comfortable nights sleep all the time I was in that fearful country. The jungles of India and Africa are pretty much alive with snakes and almost every other vile thing that creeps or crawls, but the forests of Brazil easily surpass them for that sort of thing. wouldn't ven ture on another hunting trip in that country for $1,OOO,OO0 My husband however, enjoyed himself immensely. and intends going into the heart of Brazil in the near future. He will have to go without Mrs. Bell. though.
 Notwithstanding the oppressive heat and the snakes" she added, T got excellent sport. I managed to club more than a score of snakes myself, shoot four wildcats, one puma and many beautiful birds. My friend, Miss Tenant, was equally. successful

Boy Thrown from Bicycle in Front of

 Another narrow escape from death at congested Church and Chapel streets was recorded about half-past eleven o'clock yesterday morning. A boy about fourteen or fifteen years of age came riding down Chapel street on a bicycle at high rate of speed, and att tempted to cross the maze of tracks at the corner. The rear wheel of the bicy- cle was defected by the track and the boy thrown directly in front of one of the big double-truck Mount Carmel cars. But for the quick work of Motor man Samuel Cogswell the boy would have been crushed beneath the big car. He succeeded in stopping in a marvel

ONE ON EDWARD ATKINSON.
Tart Reply to His Cordial Greeting
Of Old Friend.

The late Edward Atkinson used to
Tell the following story at his own ex.
pense: In his boyhood he was one Of
4 number of boys who used to play
ball on the Boston common, which
was then against the law At regular
intervals old Erastus Clapp, the con.
stable, would bear down upon the tres,
passers and put them to flight. The
boys used to have great fun with this
rather choleric old Manifestations
Clapp the boys dubbed him.
One day after Mr.. Atkinson had
grown up into prosperous and re
spected business man, while passing
along Boston street in company with
a friend, he recognized in a bent and
wizened old man the likeness of his
old acquaintance, Constable Clapp
Mr.. Atkinson Immediately addressed
the old fellow
Don't you remember me, Mr..
Clapp?" he asked
The old man leaned on his stick
and surveyed Mr. Atkinson eoldly.

Clapp glared at him suspiciously
and finally put an end to the inter
view, much to the amusement of Mr.
Atkinson's friend, by saying sharply

cause to run from me-"

THE UNTHANKFUL TURKEY.

He chased two of his sisters all
around the yard, until they were too
out of breath to peck. Then he fin
ished the last grain himself, and
strutted about In pride.
The next day man came out with
the girl who threw the grain.
Yes. he'll do, said the man. and
he seized the turkey who, strange to
say, was little alarmed and tried
to run away.

Man is so constituted that he is for
ever straining for blessings from afar
while overlooking those at his feet
With our inordinate desire for mate

get the ethical and spiritual import Of
Thanksgiving, TO call forth our graft

things.

a little good despite the dictum that

We cannot show our gratitude unless

The harvest coming after the care
and toll of filling the soil, the sowing
of seed and anxious watching of the
fields, has therefore been almost uni
versally set apart as time for spe-
cial thanks, or Thanksgiving. How
ever. so far as we know, no other ma
ton carries out this custom regular
ly every year on specially appoint
ed day; hence Thanksgiving Day has
come to be regarded as distinctively
American festival
1t is interesting to observe that
while Thanksgiving Day as we know
It, is a peculiarly American festival
harvest festivals were celebrated
more than 5000 years ago For in
stance. the Jewish Sukkot (Festiva

22nd of the tenth month, the first ant

Massachusetts, for generations, were
solely religious observances, while
that famous Plymouth celebration of
1921 was a harvest festival, never de-
signated as Thanksgiving by its pro-
moters and having no religious sig
nificance whatever, so far as known.
Moreover, it comprised not merely a
single day of feasting and merrymak
ing. but whole week of it, and was
designed solely for relaxation after
many months of privation and ardu-
Gus toll.
There is no record of a similar JOY
GUS celebration in our annals for gem
referred to in subsequent years until
after the revolution having been near
ly as strictly religious affairs as Sun
day itself, and so far as we have any
existing evidence not greatly given to
gastronomy. No mention of Thanks
giving is found in contemporary list
of holidays for merrymaking as late
as 100.
Until as late as the war of 1912, or
later, Thanksgiving was not a regular
annual affair, either, it's appointment
being in recognition of special bless
ings. either spiritual or material, and
usually deferred until such an excuse
for its appointment offered, even
though 1t might be for two or three
years, as was frequently the case. 1t
usually came I'm the autumn however
