good as If l had some one to meet
me. So many passengers plans
were upset because of our com

we had our customs papers and
luggage all ready to rush thro'

out on the Massilla again. In
the evening an acquaintance--a

MISS Dixon, another mlssionrry,

OPEN LETTER
BY Prof. Thomas, to the Good People OF
McCOnneIIsburg and Vicinity.

By Prof. Thomas, to the Good People Of
McConnellsburg and Vicinity.
The teachers and directors of
the McConnellsburg schools are
putting forth an effort to make
the new auditorium of the public
school building more attractive
by furnishing it with needed ma.
terial. The Choral Society Is kind
ly giving much needed help along
this line.
Owing to the lnclemency of the
weather last Saturday evening,
the Society realized scarcely half
the sum of money expected;
hence, they intend to repeat it
Friday evening, December 3lst.
And now, to the people OF McCon
nellsburg and vicinity, l desire
to say that know from the hber
al patronage you have gwen us IN
the past, that you are interested
in having the new auditorium bet
ter furnished in order that you
may have a comfortable place In
which to attend entertainments.
l beg you come out TO the enter
talnment on Friday evening, Dec.
3lst, although you may have been
at the entertainment on Satur-
day evening", and encourage the
Choral Society IN it's effort put
forth IN behalf of the school chil-
dren of McConnells sourg and vi
cinity. Come! give the Society
the encouragement it deserves,
and l feel that we may depend
upon it's mem bers for much need
ed help In the future. II there
should be an excess of money
above what pays for the piano,
the excess will be used toward
the purchase of nice new cur
tain for the stage.
The Thalian Club has assented
to give us play in the near fu-
ture; but first we must have a
curtain for the stage. We think
that we can purchase a nice as
bestos curtain for 800. Patron.
ize us literally, and soon you will
see a nice curtain ready for oper-
alton IN the new auditorium.
Come !! make small sacrifice
Qf sacrifice be necessary and by
your presence and financial aid
encourage both Choral Society
and teachers TO undertake other
things that are necessary t' make
the now auditorium attractive.

The Laymen's Missionary Movement.

To the Pastors of the Church es
of Fulton County:
DEAR BRETHREN
You are doubtless aware
of what Is known as "The Lay.
mems Missionary Movement"
that is now so active all over our
land. 1t is the intention of this
movement to include every
Christian church in the land.
And in order to do this 1t seeks
to have co operating committee
In each County and center of pop
ulation through which all may be
reached and there cooperation
secured. 1t has been made my
duty by the cooperating Commit.
tee for Fulton County to send a
package of literature to each of
you for distribution among your
people and to aid you in getting
congregations into line of cooper.
alton to secure the ends of this
great movement. l take this
method of explaining the lnten-
ton of the package which you
should shortly receive from me
through the mail. Will you not
faithfully use 1t. And send to
headquarters for such other Int.
erature as you may deem needful
to explain more fully the whole
movement and to get your laymen
thoroughly aroused into coopera
ton for the attaining the ends Of
the Laymen's Missionary Move.

OUR ENORMOUS
PRODUCTIONS.
The United States Produces 20
per Cent. Of the Worlds
Wheat Crop, 70 per Cent.
of the Cotton, and 7o per
cent. of the Corn.

In noting the prominence In
which the United States stands
out, when compared with The rest
of the world, the Philadelphia
Press says that 1t is most inter.
esting to note With careful eye
the proud and dignitied position
the United States holds, not in
contrast with other nations only,
but as . agreat factor compared to
the united rest of the world.
With her reaching territory,
embracing almost every kind of
climate and soil, with her mines,
her farms, her oil wells, her fac.
tories, she far outstrjps IN point
Of material production as compar
ed on the basis of population the
entire world outside her borders.
Without counting her island
possessions, but conhning this
article strictly to Continental
United States, we find that, while
she has but about per cent. of
the population of the world, her
productions far exceed this fig.
ure. From the latest statistical
tables available, we find that out
of the wheat annually raised in
the world-3,337, 100000 bushels
the United States produced
100000 bushels, or 20 per
cent. Of coal, out of 100000
600 tons produced In the world,
the United States mined 350,000,-
600 tons, or 35 per cent. Of man
ufactured products of all kinds
the world produced $43, 100000
600 worth, to which the United
States grand contribution $15,.
100000, 900, or 35 per cent. With.
out further stating totals, the fol
lowing percentages may be men
toned: Pig iron, 40 per cent;
steel, AZ per cent; petroleum, 55
per cent; cotton, 70 per cent,
and corn, 79 per cent.
These figures are astounding
and carry with them convincing
evidence as to the greatness of
our land. No other nation, with
the possible exception of China,
whose people have few and simple
wants, can so well sopport Its
population as the United States,
and If a wall of exclusion were
built around US we could still live
and thrive. being self contained
of all that is needed for the sup
port of national as we'll as human
life. But the truer life IS the
broader one, and so, proud of our
position among nations we reach
out hand to all others, and while
endowing them with our benefac.
tions we reap reciprocal benefit
from them, and thus take our
place and keep it, leading the
great nations of the earth and
being destined TO even greater
power and prominence as the
years go on.
