Te serve you rightly, the store must be helpful in ev- cry possible way. It must save you money, whenever possible. It must save you trouble and bother. It must make difficult things easy. It must be ever-ready to see and to seize an opportunity to do a thing better. Sell ing sewing-machines on the club plan is doing something better and at a saving to you.
 Through the club, you buy a sewing-machine at the stores usual cash price and have several months time in which to pay for it. You buy a guaranteed sew ing-machine at a price far less than equally-good ma- chimes are sold for ' in any other way. Ordinary way of selling machines is expen- sive. Agents and offices and disadvantages and all such cost money! That mon ey has to be paid out of the price you pay for a machine.
 The stores way is differ ent. A big quantity of ma- chimes is bought for low price for cash. A low sell ing price is made: they are sold like all dry goods-at fair profit. With this low price, is linked, for a time, the privileges of the club. Those privileges are choice of any one of the several styles of Rowland machines and the paying of it's cost in a series of small sums.
 1925 buys a Reliance auto matic-drop machine. $15 buys an Eclipse. $32 buys a Charter Oak rotary ma chine. Each one in other styles and at other price. al- so. But come and see. That is best way to learn size of the opportunity.

MT. Lincoln, If you refra1n rom this thing you are defying the will Of Cod
 "You remember his reply, Gentle men, If there is anywhere a man who wants to know the will of God and who is trying to do His will, I am that man. God knows that. If God has made up his mind about this thing, am surprised that he didn't tell me about it instead of telling you.'
 ''But. getting back to our mission in washington" continued MT Smith" MT. Lincoln asked if we had any ground of complaint against the con- duct of the new provost. Did we say that he was not doing his duty, or that he was committing any malfea- sance in office. We replied that we made no such claim. that our conten ion was that the office should be held by a man who resided in the district and was familiar with the needs of the district.
 "0Then. I think" said Mr. Lincoln, that you ought to say that in the pa pers. People might otherwise believe, if I should change this officer, that he has not done his duty, which would be unjust to him. I wish you would take the papers with you, and have it inserted that you do not complain of the way his duty has been done. Then come and see me again.
 '"This we did. and returned to the president at a later period. But by son7e oversight the entry had not been made as MT. Lincoln had suggested. He read over the papers, noted the omission and asked why it had not Teen done We replied that it was an o-ror. Ire pointed out a blank space, and asked us to write it in then and there, which we did. Then MT. Lin- coin endorsed upon the paper Let it he done as herein' We took that over to the office of the provost gen. erai and as it was an order from above instead of one from below, we got what we wanted"
