We have often been told OF what wealth

And we know that its value is great indeed.
In our struggle with life each day.
But happy and biest is the man, ween,
Who can say. without sorrow or sigh.
That he holds the key to the treasures rare,
Things that money cannot buy.
What depth OF purse can procure the love
That we crave in this land of strife:
Or bring us the calm, contented mind
As We Journey the path OF life;
Or the buoyant health WHICH gives zest
To the pleasure our hearts desire;
The crown of happiness, friendship true,
Or the love which will never tire?

Though he thrive in the midst Of wealth. how

But the choicest blessings from heaven are
Things that money cannot buy.

HANCOCK POMONA. 10.

Narramissic grange, No. "a, entertained
this Pomona Wednesday, Nov. s. All Of
the newly elected officers were present
with the exception of the three lady on
GERS. Bro. A. 3. Hutchins, the worthy
master OF the host grange, gave IN able
address OF welcome, which Was well re-
sponded TO by John B. Wilson.
An executive committee WAS elected by
written ballot a. follows: III. j. HarYi-
man, chairman; ]. Wesley Bowden and
Thomas Grieve. The chair a. tinted Z. E.
Gross, J. b. Wilson and A. 4. oillis ~ the
finance committee.
The topic for discussion was: "Why
does the grange favor the election OF U. 8.
senators by popular vot~r' This was
opened by J. B. Wilson, followed by
Thomas Grieve, J. wesley Eidridge, A. B.
Hutchins, DIR. Brown and A. L. Saunders.
As the noon hour approached, further dis
cussion on this topic was tabled until af-
ter dinner. Al this point ali did full JUS
tice to the good things that the sisters had
prepared in the lower hall.
After resuming work in the afternoon,
the discussion Of the topic was resumed
by Hsdley Burrill, who was followed by
II. J. Hartman. This topic was espec-
tally interesting, and each speaker seemed
TO have something to add 20 il.
As there were only few who wished to
take the fifth degree, the grange voted not
to confer it at this meeting.
The absence OF the State speaker was
due to the fact that there was none avail
able for this date, but the worthy lecturer,
Sister Bowden, was equal to the emer-
gency, aud promptly instituted = question
box which proved very instructive.
Among the things discussed was woman
suffrage" and: .Who should hold the
family purse; the man or the w0manf"
The latter question was participated In by
many Of the brothers; then the sisters had
something to say, and for aw bile the dis
custom waxed warm. Sisters Colby and
Cowing each gave recitation, and both
were thoroughly enjoyed.
Tho ladies OF the host grange gave .
laughable farce entitled, svThe Haeking Of
the Home Missionary Barrel"
There was good crowd out and each
one will look forward to the time when
this Pomona will again msst with Nara
missile grange.

CHRISTIAN enOEAvOR


Beginning Nov. 10. 1911.
Topic.-A missionary Journey around the
world-xI Missions In South America =
Acts xix. 1880 Edited by Rev. Sherman
H. Doyle. d. D.
South America is more and more at
tracting the attention of the leading
nations of the world. In the vast en-
pires of this continent Germany Is
ever increasing colonization, trying to
find desirable outlet for her over
flowing population. The greatest
business concerns of England and OF
the United States are becoming more
and more interested in the material
development Of Brazil and other South
American states Foreign and domes-
tic trade Is rapidly increasing. lmmi-
grants are arriving In enlarged num-
bers. and foreign capital is being in
vested on a large scale. The recent
advance in railways has been most
marked. The coast states have been
united by rail. and the road that is to
connect the tributaries of the Amazon
is being rapidly pushed forward. In
connection with all these efforts for
the physical development of South
America there should be correspond
ingly vigorous efforts to improve the
moral and spiritual conditions Of the
people. This duty rests upon the
Christian church, and it should not be
neglected.
The missionary opportunities In
South America today are greater than
ever before. Under the influences Of
material development the people are
becoming awakened to sense Of their
rights and duties and led TO aspire to
higher moral. and spiritual
standards and =. he way is thus
being prepared for the most aggres-
sive and effective Christian work. and
the opportunities thus being provided
should be taken advantage of by the
church Of Christ to the fullest possible
extent But notwithstanding the in
creasing favorable conditions Chris
tianity and Christian institutions will
not be established In South America
without a struggle. The old foes OF
perstition of the lowest character gen.
orally prevails. Ignorance abounds
among the masses of the people. Priest
craft has largely lost its terrors for the
male population. but the men have
turned from superstitious faith to out
right skepticism and pronounced ind
deity and atheism Such conditions
are most deplorable and furnish sit
uation that only the most earnest and
faithful presentation Of the gospel can
finally overcome.
South America needs the earnest
prayers and faithful support OF all
Christian people. The children and
youth need TO be educated. The num-
Der of missions and missionaries should
be greatly increased. The Bible as the
chief means of dispelling ignorance
and fear and superstition should be
placed within the reach Of all the peo-
pie. The Christians of the United
States should have a special interest
In the evangeIization Of our southern
continent. Our government under the
Monroe doctrine assures to the people
Of South America political independ-
ence so far as foreign nations are con-
cerned. The Christian people OF the
United States should through the doc
tr1ne Of Christ do all they can to give
to them freedom from ignorance, su-
perstition and vice.
