CANDLES GIVE LIGHT
ON MISSION WORK

An interested group Of junior mission
workers assembled i'm the lecture han OF
Central Church yesterday afternoon. The
lesson was about light and darkness. Miss
Louise Hardcastle began the program
with chalk-talk. and then turned to a
large map of China which she had drawn
and hung on the wall. The children had
been surveying a box Of tiny candles with
great interest. and this grew into admira-
tion when Miss Hardcastle stuck little
candle on each place lin China where mis-
sion work had been done. when all were
lighted. It proved striking demonstra-
ton The western part Of China was found
TO be in darkness. Miss Isabelle Halket
read a letter Of thanks from the colored
school in Virginia 10 which the Juniors
sent a box last month.
