Tomorrow, Saturday, will be Ground
Hog Day" 1t is always carefully
watched by many who think that the
weather of that day willgovern the next
six weeks. Those who are weather wise
say that between the hours of IL and l
o'clock, this little rodent makes his APP
pearance, and if he sees his shadow, will
go back for another six weeks sleep.
Should it be cloudy, however, he will de-
eide that spring is open and at once be-
stir himself for the seasons opening

The first of the series of mems meet
ings was held in the Assembly Rooms of
the Masonic Temple, Bel Air, on Sunday
afternoon. Rev. DR.. w. H. H. Powers,

wait until they became good enough"
before entering the church, since no one
is of himself good enough. To use his
simile the church is a great hospital for
the treatment and care of the sin-sick,
Jesus Christ himself being the physician
in charge; and he has never lost case.
