boy Of six on leaving a party they had
been to thought they would go the
nearest way home, which led across
some fields. When nearly home they
had to cross a ditch, which, to their
surprise and horror, was flooded. They
consulted each other as to whether
they should wade through It or return
and go the other way, which meant a
dive mile walk. They finally decided
TO wade through it, so Mrs. ], took

ISSUES
ANNUAL LETTER
In 1t the Rev. L. ]. WeStfaII
Urges BaptiStS to be
Loyal

The Rev. l. Judson Westfall, pastor
Of Bethany Baptist Church. has issued
his annual letter to the members of
his church. In it he says:
1.-THE closing Of another year is at
hand and it ought to remind US OF
every good intention kept or broken.
We all intend to live well and there
are times when we resolve 80 to do.
1t ought not to be impossible for us to
live up to our best impulses, and / am
sure that the following questions will
enable you to examine yourself:
How can L increase my usefulness?
Have I measured up to my Christian
privilege? Have 1 kept my part OF the
covenant? What mistakes have been
making? Upon what new line of Chris
tian work can 1 enter2
Il believe we have overlooked In
many instances the plain and simple
duties. Nothing is so pleasing to Him
as cheerful and unseIfish faithfulness,
which should mean to be genuinely
Christian, thoughtful, accomplishing,
lcongenial, helpful, loving, true. Have.
we knowingly withheld any OF these
signs Of fellowship from our co-labor-
ers in Christ?
Let me remind many Of you of your
frequent absence from many OF the
regular services Of the church. The
name cards indicate that q large num-
ber make no effort to attend the
monthly communion and others do not
attend the business meetings. the
prayer meetings, the p. Y. p U. and
the Bible School and still these SER
vices have gone on to do a noble work
Of subduing our hearts to perform His
will.
Il shall emphasize this year more
clearly the real work OF the Church,
namely, to save the lost. to care for the
sick, to train the young, feed The flock
and strengthen our missionary efforts.
Il wish to express, however. my ap-
probation Of every evidence Of SINGER
ity and sign OF growth, also the loyal
and lovable support of the young peo-
pie in the choir, the guild and kindred
services also Of the Brotherhood, Of
the Women's Aid and OF the many
willing unselhsh workers who have
made my ministry a joy and pleasure.
"Some Of our number have been
called home to heaven, others have
been sick and greatly hindered in their
desire to be active while others have
been Indifferent; however many have
united with us and the work goes on.
Let us therefore, covenant together,
that we will be faithful 20 every
known duty allowing bitterness, and
wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil
speaking to cease, exercising more
charity for the weak and unframed
oop-fdoriuc ourselves
'I am also deeply concerned that we
measure up to our Masters expecta-
ton Of us, because an unfaithful church
rs in danger Of extinction. Rev. 2: 8.
1.-THE church has purchased a par
.sonage which makes a comfortable and
convenient home for the pastor, max
ing also a substantial addition to our
property. 7 ask, therefore, that you
co-operate in the financial support Of
the church and the speedy payment OF
our small indebtedness. Let us en-
.deavor to practice the Golden Rule as
found in Matt 7: 70!

FOR
THE SICK

When choosing flowers to send to sick
friends remember that the two neces-
sary qualifications are that they have
only a faint odor and that they are a
variety Of flowers that is lasting.
Carnations probably give more satis-
faction than any other flower, and the
odor is refreshing.
Roses, lilies of the valley, and vio-
let's are all suitable for q. siclzroom, but
they do not keep fresh very long.
They win keep much better. however,
II they are removed from the sick room
every night.
Put them in cool place and cut the
stems, then fill the vases with fresh
hot water in which a pinch Of salt has
been dissolved.

DEGREES OF
SANCTITY

Three spirits stood at heavens gate
To clear themselves Of sin,
And each one set good reasons forth
Why he should be let in.
The first declared. upon the earth
I was a millionaire;
The benefactions which gave
Were great beyond compare"
The second said, with pious sigh.
$50 upright did I live,
When I had paid my honest debts
1 had no aims to give"
The third announced, MY lscruples fine
Would let no business bless.
And so lived on charity
From very saintlincss."

Rssn.ot For Funerals.

A French friend Of mine who has
been staying in Glasgow for a short
time is amazed. not to say shocked. at
the Indifference Of the crowd during
the passing Of a funeral. They do
things differently in France Even in
the crowded streets Of Paris every one
!.fts his hat or cap at the sight Of q
funeral; in many cases the onlookei
stands bareheaded TIL the cortege hes
fled past slowly Ny French friend
assures me that in some parts Of his
country one would run the risk Of al
most being assaulted If the obeisanc
we're neglected. Glasgow News.

WOMAN KIN D
FANCY WORK HINTS

Cross-stitch is growing in popularity
and very beautiful floral pieces are now
being made for cushions and table
covers.
The designs are quite like those that
were used when the work was popular
many years ago and the colors used
are the duh, deep pinlks, dark garnets,
and shaded green's, which go so well
with the stiff bouquets and garlands
Of the patterns.
One wonders that some one does not
invent an entirely new kind Of design
ing for this work, not because the old
patterns are not satisfactory, but be-
cause nowadays we are always crying
for new things.
AS yet, however, the cross stitch
workers seem to be perfectly satisfied
with the older patterns Their aim Is
not to make a departure into the new
designs, but to find some particularly
quaint one TO copy, something which
none Of their acquaintance have come
across.
Colored embroidery on white linen
is much used for pineushions. The
designs that are in fashion at the mo-
ment are scattered and rather light
and dainty.
