arrange TO attend as the cause is a good
one and the money raised is used in

children have been faithful in their
practice and we hope the older ones
will arrange their dinners next Sunday
so they can remain and hear the Child

Cleaning up time is here, and every.
where is activity in that line. Burning
up refuse and brush is all right II look
ed after, but one can not be too careful
and all fires should be very carefully
watched or serious conhagration will
occur. This village had a two hours
scare last Saturday morning, but for.
tunately the wind veered and the FIRE
ran northeast instead Of west. The
only damage was to the meadows and
little fence.
We are very sorry TO have to re-

October LIST Rev. Mr.. Carhart will take
up his work in Syria. A little later we
hope to give more detailed account
as to just what his new duties will be,
and also resume of bis work while
with us.
