Union Bridge, roUTudIy - WohI
to thank our executive committee for
their kind words of encouragement
and help. 1t certainly deserved an
immediate reply. My only excuse Is,
I was suffering from very severe
attack of tonsilitis, and though still
confined to the house, / must hasten
and make good my side, else will
be the missing link. When you read
the following articles you will know
whst a shower of mail the press cor
respondent has been receiving. 1t is
delightful and proves that "a word
to the wise is sufficient" If we could
only make our different societies re-
alize how much the Kings business
needs-"The kind words they might
speak, and would
Stop for a minute and give them to-
day,
Once, only once will you pass DER
life's way,
Give out the blessings of love as you
go,
Serving with gladness the Master so
dear.
Then our words of admonition
would not be necessary. | know the
young are prone to feel their efforts
not worthy of notice and Many
good intention, dies from inattention."
If through carelessness, or Incidence,
or selfishness a good intention is not
put into effect, we have lost an oppor-
tunity, demoralized ourselves and
stolen from the pile of possible good.
To be born and not fed is to perish.
To launch a ship and neglect it is to
lose it. To have a talent and bury
it is to be wicked and slothful SER
want" For in the end we shall be
judged not alone by what we have
done, but by what we could have done.
Mt. Union, our banner society thus
far for report, sends the following:
Our thank offering meeting was a
very inspiring one. We had some
very good readings on missionary in
telligence; also a tract entitled, Mrs.
Pickett's 'sMissionary Box" having on
it, What shall l render unto the Lord
for all his benefits?" When the box
was first received she thought her
benefits were few but after some time
she began to realize she had a great
many benefits t. be thankful for. The
thank offering amounted to six dol
lars and twenty cents. The little
cradles from the cradle roll contain
ed one dollar and seventy-five cents,
which will be sent to India to help
build a child's hospital. Our box
work for famine orphans was also
one dollar and seventy-five cents.
A very pleasant C. E. Social was
held in the lecture room of the Pres
byterian Church of New Windsor, on
Friday evening, January "a. The So
cial committee, of which Mrs. H. 5.
Stouffer is chairman, having beauti-
fully decorated the room and bounti-
fully provided refreshments, stood
cheerfully in line to welcome each ar
rival. The president, Miss Bessie
Foard, presided, while a delightful
programme of bright recitations and
pleasing music was rendered. After
much merriment the members and
friends in attendance thanked the com
mittee for the pleasant evening spent
and obtained the promise from them
of repetition of the same in the near
future.
Christian Endeavor Day was OBJ
served by the Lutheran Society OF
Uniontown with appropriate services.
Two interesting essays were read en-

doing for the young by Mrs. B. H.
Singer, the other one What Christian
Endeavor Has Done for the Church"
