METHODIST CHURCH WORKER AND BUILDER

which have arisen in the prepar-
alton for, and building of our
new church, have been years of
perplexity and trial, and yet
withal years of splendid fruitage
in membership and spiritual life,
and,
Whereas, DR.. Rees has sug-
gested that the time has come
when his relation as pastor of
this church should cease, and if
the Bishop so elect, will go to
to another field of labor and use
fuIness, therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the men,
bers of the Quarterly Conference
of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church of Seattle, do hereby
tender our beloved pastor, DR..
Rees, our earnest, sincere thanks
for his able ministry in preach
ing the Word, and for his untir-
ing energy and faithful Christian
work, which he has so we'll done
for our church and city, and
wherever he may go he will
carry with him the love and best
wishes of this people, and we will
ever pray the Holy Spirit to give
him abundant success in what
ever field he may be called to
labor"
For many years DR.. Rees was
secretary to the Freedman's Aid
society of the Methodist Episco-
pal church and in that line of
work was just as successful as
he was in church building. When
he expressed a desire to have an
other appointment the bishop of
this diocese offered him a splen-
did assignment in the East, but
he declined as he preferred to re-
main on Puget Sound. He is
now sixty years of age, but is re-
markedly preserved for his years
and using his own words, II am,
barring accidents, good for at
least fifteen years more of active
service Unless his present
calculations miscarry he will be
stationed at Everett during the
next conference year.

AUTOS GOING TO AVIATION
MEET MUST BE RUN SLOW
Chief Deputy Case Warns Drivers Not
to Go Faster than 20 Miles
an Hour

The Automobile club of Southern
California warns all automobilists at
tending Aviation meet not to exceed a
speed of more than twenty miles an
hour after leaving the city limits SO
far this week the deputies have been
very courteous and in most cases sim
ply warned without arresting Offend
ers, but owing to the persistent in
fraction of the law by so many au-
toists the officers have lost all pa
tience and from now on will arrest all
those who are driving their machines
more than twenty miles an hour.
F. G. Case, chief deputy, said he had
had seven officers patrolling the roads,
but will double the force and that while
he didn't wish to appear officious he
certainly would not hesitate to arrest
anyone going faster than the law al
lows.
He has asked the automobile club to
publish a notice of his intentions, so
those attending the meet will be suf-
ficiently notified to go slow, unless they
wish to be arrested.

POPULAR REQ EXHIBITED

One of the many strong and attract
i've features of the exhibits of r, M
Owen & Co. at the Palace show was
the chassis of the new model four
cylinder REQ. The motor of this. popu-
lar model is kept running constantly,
and Is SO glazed and Illuminated that
it's inner workings may readily be seen
by visitors. Among the many novel
and practical features of this chassis is
the device whereby the shifting lever is
locked into neutral position. This
bracket of special design is so inserted
as to catch the lower part of the shift
ing lever which is made secure by a
small paddock. AS this permits the
moving about of the car anywhere in
the garage and yet makes 1t impossi-
BILE to drive without unlocking the
shifting lever, r. e. Olds has again
promptly supplied popular demand.

SHIELD is POPULAR

The hydraulic folding dust and wind
shield is one of the most useful and
practical devices for the comfort of mo-
torists which has just been put on the
market. This shield is neat In appear
ance. and does not mar the appearance
of the car. There are certain times
on a sultry day when the tourist thinks
he does not need shield. A sudden
wind, a shower or a cloud of dust
caused by rapidly passing or ap-
preaching car changes the order of
things, and then the shield is wanted,
and wanted Immediately. With the hy-
draulic wind shield it is not necessary
to stop the car or to get out of the ma
chine; no screw-drivers or monkey
Wrenches are needed.

the Sheriff was not notified OF the

occurred. As consequence he was
much hampered in his efforts TO solve
the mystery.
According to the facts obtained by
the Sheriff. the burglary took place
some time during the evening Of June

into two rooms, one of them the store

open. The door from the store was
closed, but had not been locked. At
some time between 10 and II y. M.
the storekeeper locked this door. but
did not notice anything unusual. II
was only the following morning that
he discovered that the cash drawer
of his desk had been left pulled out,
and on investigation he found tha:
cash amounting to $3.50 and some
drafts had been taken therefrom. He
believed that some one had entered
the store during the time when he
was entertaining his friend, although
neither he, his wife, nor the friend
had heard anyone do so.
The storekeoper notified neighbors
of his loss. and the amateur sleuths
Immediately went on the hunt. They
found In an adjoining cane field two

When the Romans first invaded the
Teutons they found the Teutons we're
great drinkers and yet the Romans
were compelled to admit that the
Tcutons were virtuous people. Their
domestic purity was remarkable and
the chastity of the women was above
reprohth. Although the Germans, to-
day, are a drinking people, yet In
science and culture and in art they
stand shoulder to shoulder with other
great nations of the world.
Alas, that prohibition should put
such nonsence in the mouths OF
cranks as to make them cry out
against all men drinking because
they, themselves, cannot stand

foreign traders enjoyed the practical

and an attempt made to present his pic
ture OF the kinds OF associations that may
be found in China. There are religious
and benevolent fraternites formed to
honor some demigod, but these in China
have never bestowed aims or admins
tered benevolent funds; the subscrip-
tons are devoted to making burnt offer
ings to their patron saint, and these offer
ings, having thus been sanctihed, are
then divided among the contributing
members for their own consumption
These, which are called Hwei, Mr.. Morse
merely touches on; the associa tons that
interest him more are the craft guilds, the
provincial clubs and what he calls the
guilds merchant
In China trade combinations, rosem-
bling in q way the craft guilds Of Europe,
are called Kung-so literally public place, /"
