An Army of Goats.

"Better an army Of goats with a lion
for a leader than an army Of lions
with goat for a leader" is an inn
pressive old Spanish proverb, but the
United States government has consid-
cradle faith in an army Of goats with
goat for leader. 1t is announced
that three thousand Of them of the
Angora variety, from the California
foot hills, will be set at work in the
spring, blazing mile after mile Of fire
lines through the bushy chaparral
growth of the natural forests. The
plan is to run fire lnies parallel with
the contour of the slopes, but cutting
trails about eighty rods apart. and
these are to serve as guides for the
goats. They will Craze in each direc-
ton, killing, it is estimated, strips of
brush about three hundred yards wide,
which are expected to make ideal fire
lanes for the protection Of forest COW
cred lands and also provide ground for
the reproduction of merchantable
trees. This scheme, IL it works as an

Conclusion.
In closing 1 desire to recognize CRATE
fully the divince factor which has fol-
lowed through the year. and that has
been manifest to me in so many ways.
and the kindness and hospitality of the
pastors and their wives, who have re-
ceived me so cordially into their homes.
These favors have frightened the way
of the district superintendent and
made It pleasant in the midst Of the
well known difficulties. It has been
the hardest years work Of my life, but
have been thankful for the privilege
Of working with such q self-sacrifcing
and sincere company Of the children
of God.
To be conscious Of harmony with the
viii Of the Master, and in love and fell
lowship with His followers Is reward
sufficient for all labor.
