The sweetest and dearest interests
Of life cluster around our homes.
Homes should be the center Of our
love, the mecca OF all OF our journeys
the goal OF all our endeavors. When
home is lost. all Is lost.

contains five great articles of nation
al importance. The Conflict of Reli-
gion and the Church." by Bishop
Williams of Michigan, is perhaps the
most notable article in the number.
IL will bring heaps Of criticism upon
the writer's head for its analysis of
WY the church is losing ground.
The author even forecasts the de-
cline of the Catholic church.
Another extraordinary contribu-
ton is a baseball article by Hugh
Fullerton. 1t is a description of the
experiences and duties of an UNI
pire. and contains all sorts of stories
showing the courage of the umpire,
the skill. the ethics of the umpire.
What an aloof and arrogant man he's
to train himself to be! There are a
few who can do the job. There are
many just men who would make
poor umpires. In their gentle and
judicial manner they might finally
determine rightly whether the rum
ner reached first base, but before
they got around to recommend
fair adjustment of the matter pop
bottle applied back of the ear would
release them from all further re-
sponsibility. The umpire is a curl
Gus combination of juggler and sold
Ter.

Christians have accepted this custom

hands with one another. | should
certainly not refuse to do it.
After dinner. which consisted of
rice in every conceivable shape and
condition, we had games among the
boys. In some Of. these the old men
joined, and it was too cOmical to see
the zest with which they did every
thing. Some one drew the picture
of pig. on the mat. and the con-
testants were blind-folded and given
a piece of chalk, to mark the eye in
the pig. One old man tried it about
a dozen times, and he wouldn't give
up until he had gotten the eye in
the right place. Another test,
which | had never seen, was to put
a piece of money on the top of a
stick. shut one eye, walk up to the
stick and flip off the coin; Unless
you are on to it, you will invariably
snap your fingers too soon.

they have been epidemic, but had

Saturday morning, Miss Buck and
went out six miles. to Nawng Fan
and spent the day, the occasion be-
ing the last of the new year feasts.
The Collinses went too, and brought
Marie's organ. so we had plenty of
music. The people had made great
preparations for our coming, and
everything was so nice, but l wasn't
feeling good enough to enjoy it.
We got home little before six, and
l went right to bed. and to sleep,
and except for being Weakened few
times until the girls got settled,

seven the next morning. They have

some pictures, and hope they will be
good.
The children saw US from afar,
that morning, and came running to
greet us. Two or three put out
their hands to have them shaken, a
foreign accomplishment, Of which
they are very proud. Personally,
doubt the wisdom of ever having
introduced the custom; first, because
it isn't considered proper in this
country for a man to touch a woman,
and it is question as to how some
light look at it, even though our
own christians might accept it from
us. Then, if one is afraid of germs,
shaking hundred or more dirty
paws in the course of a day, seems
rather risky. But as long as our
