It was attended by large and ap-
preciative audience.
Our Thanksgiving holiday was
pleasantly spent by everyone. Mr. c
Edward Johnson conducted an inter-
esting Thanksgiving service in the
3 auditorium, at which offerings were
taken to defray the expenses of
! dinner which was served to the mill
children. A number of old Winthrop
GkifS came back to spend Thanksgiv-
Ing day. The effect of the long rows
ayof tables in the dining hall at dinner
time was very beautiful. Mrs Cobb
served US turkey, cranberry sauce,
fruit ~ ice cream, five or six kinds
of fruit, candy and various other
t,nigs. She had all the tables arts
tically decorated with leaves and ivy
vine.

Noon is a good time to supply the
stock with some green stuff, such as
cabbages or roots of any kind. The
latter can be cut in half, and the
hens will then pick them to pieces.

1t is not good for hens to dust in

tighten up the dirt!

From The Electric Wire

Down in Central America, where.
it is very damp during the rainy
season, it is customary to keep
electric lights burning inside pianos
to prevent the wires from rustinn.
A microphone, which magnifes
sound, is now being successfully
used to locate underground streams
and water currents where such exist.
Siam has only one city lighted by
electricity,
There are nearly $500 miles of
electric wire in the Singer building
in New York City.
Cleveland, Ohio, is to have an
electric subway.
Electricity is being taught in
Chicago grammar schools.
A railway tunnel is being built
under the Seine at Paris for the use
of electric cars.
Electricity has superseded all gas
lamps in lighting the streets of
Montreal.
Eight miles of ornamental street
lighting are now in service in the
main streets of Minneapolis.
Dallas. Texas, is to have a White
Way" just as soon as a new system
of ornamental street lighting can be
installed.
The electrical exports for October
were greater than for September of
this year and greater than for
October, 1909.

Worlds United Brethren Day

Ouy, ny dill OllllSu DICtIlGll OllulC II-
es in this country, and in Africa,
China, Japan, Porto Rico and the
PHILIPPINE Islands, where the Church
| is operating Missions.
In view Of the fact that the church
is not we'll known in this part of
our great country, it may not be
out of place for me to say a few
things for the benefit of any who
may desire a better acquaintance
with us.
In the Eighteenth century it
pleased God to awaken persons in
different parts of the world, who
should raise up the Christian re-
ligion from its fallen state and
preach the gospel in its purity.
About the middle of said century
the Lord, in mercy remembered the
Germans in America, who, being
scattered in this extensive country,
seldom had the privilege Of hearing
the gospel in their own language.
Among others he raised up Viii
liam Otterbern and Martin Boehm
in Pennsylvania and George A.
Guething in Maryland, armed them
with spirit grace and strength to
labor in this neglected field, and to
call among the Germans and Ameri-
ca, sinners to repentance. The
labors of these men were blessed of
God and they established many
good societies and led many souls
to Christ.
Other Iaborers were added to these
from time to time, as the field OF
their operation was enlarged.
A conference of these workers was
held in Baltimore Nd. in 1889
The necessity of a closer union
between these labOrers and societies
soon became evident, for some had
been Presbyterians or German Re-
formed, some Lutherans and others
Mennonites. They, accordingly,
called a conference to be held Sept.
| Is, 1900 at the home of Peter Kemp
in Frederick Co., Md. At this con-
ference the denomination was for
maIly organized and William Otter
bein and Martin Boehm were elect
ed Bishops.
In faith the church is Evangelical
and in doctrine Armenian rather
than Calvinistic, though accepting
much of both systems where they
do not conflict. In policy and gov
eminent the church is purely
American and congregational; the
final appeal being to the people in
all matters of importance.
A program for the day has been
prepared for use in the Sunday
Schools from which / cite the fol-
lowing:
RESPONSIVE READING.
LEADER: By whom and when was
the United Brethren Church found
ed?
SCHOOL: By Phillip William Otter
bein. The Church was formally
organized in 1900.
LEADER: Who was Otterbein?
SCHOOL: An educated, cody, Ger
man preacher, who came to America
when young man as a missionary.

famous Isaac Long barn near Lam
caster, Pennsylvania.
LEADER: What led Otterbein to
exclaim we are brethren?
SCHOOL: He rejoiced to hear Boe-
Inns spiritual message, showing his
assurance of salvation
LEADER; What truth united Otter
bein Boehm, and others in the
beginnings of our Church?
SCHOOL: 1t was the joy of the as
surance of salvation in the con-
seriousness of the forgiveness of their
sins.

The Mexican Trouble.

FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 6.-Juarcz re-
mains today in the hands Of the officials
reinforced by men of Colonel Rabago's
command.
The revolutionists under General
Orozco, however. are in better condl-
ton for fighting today than at any
time since they started northward.
They have captured most Of the NUM-
tons which were destined by Rabago
for use in holding the city pending the
arrival Of Navarro's command fiom
Guerrero and which were abandoned
by the federal command when the
troops we're compelled to fight their
way through the rebel line from Ban-

today who believe that he will try
again. Yesterdays fighting was OF the
comic opera variety.
1t is reported at noon that General
Orozco was within four miles OF Juarez.
Two machine guns and mountain
Howitzer were today mounted in n
position to help in the defense of the
city.
FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 6.--Luck has
played with Diaz's troops and it is be-
lieved here today that the insurrectos
cannot take Juarez unless the reinforce
ments Of Alanias, the rebel leader in
chihuahua, come up quickly.
The reverse suffered yesterday by
General Orozco when he attempted to
cut off Rabago and his 500 men who
were being rushed to the relief of the
Juarez garrison, was hard blow to the
rebel leader. Failure OF dynamite
fuses to burn saved Rabago's men from
either being killed or captured.
