In the Parish house it keeps a drawer

sessing some good staying qualities may

The role the society plays in the
church, Miss Howard called that of fairy
godmother, who waves her wand, upon
her request, and funds forthwith appear
for the minor as well heavy expenses
of the work. The sum of $500 towards
the Parish house, a range for the same,
repairs on the parsonage, the settlement
of host of incidental bills and floral re-
, membranes of the sick and sorrowfuI
have been among the godmotherly gifts
bestowed, and it is the serious intention
of the guild that in the year and years to
come the wand will still wave in re-

c. c. Roundy spoke of the Christian
Brotherhood as an organization that ap-
pealed to him as being one which will
help to develop and maintain high
standard of citizenship in the communi-
ty; for" he said, "there is nothing
that will raise the standard of citizens or
bring out the best there is in ones self
mere than coming together under proper
conditions and with determination to
carry out such principles as are set forth
in the preamble of the constitution,
which reads as follows - For the promo
tion of our social, intellectual and relig-
iOus improvement, and for the benefit of
our children and for the interest of our
community, we, the undersigned, organ
ize ourselves into a society to be known
as the Christian Brotherhood
by this you ill see that we have a
society founded on democratic principles,
which, when observed, mean much to
any community. The interest taken by
our members shows their determination
to carry out these principles and by car
rying them out the Brotherhood will be
of great help, not only to Bethany
church, but of help to all our Christian
societies, besides bringing about closer
fellowship between those in and out of
the churches; for our members, 80 in
number, are men who are members and
non-members of our churches, and men
who are employers and employees. Ii is
gratifying to note the friendly feeling
that exists at our meetings; the greeting
is right, the kind that makes one glad
they are living, and living in Randolph"
