IOWA OLD SETTLERS.

Preliminary details have been work
ed out for the organization of State
wide pioneers association abe first reg
ular meeting of which will be held in

erect a typical old settlers cabin, ex-
cept on larger scale, which, when
completed, will serve as Offices for the
association and headquarters for all
Iowa pioneers.
Among the objects contemplated by
the temporary organizers of the Iowa

atiliation of all old settler or pioneer
societies in Iowa through state organ
ization; 10 Systematically encourage
and promote the establishment and
larger usefulness of such societies in
every county and favorable locality
in the state, to locate, classify and
preserve letters, manuscripts, certifi-
Gates, pamphlets, books, papers, SOU
Venirs, relics and in fact everything
of historic value and data relative to
the early settlement of every section
of Iowa. The working details for the
State Association as yet are incom-
plete, in fact cannot be properly COM
pieted except through representative
meeting of local old settlers societies.

and it is to be hoped, will enlist the
interest of everyone who has the his.
tory OF his state at heart. The Ma
haska Association should join heartily

SUNDAY SUBJECTS.

1t is well for any community to be
able to put on demonstration like
the Mahaska County Sunday School
celebration in Oskaloosa on Friday.
OF course it required much time and
effort on the part of the promoters,
but think of nearly two thousand peo-
pie in line cheering and encouraging
a good cause! The results were
worth double the effort 1t is also a
source of pleasure and satisfaction
TO know that Notwithstanding the
great number present, there are over
three times as many enrolled in the
work within tn confines of the county
Surely our churches have reason to
feel assured of the future, with so
many bright young people coming in
to membership. Committees may be
rich in many ways. Farm lands may
make material things plentiful; min
eral deposits may fill the strong
boxes. Good schools may point the
way to greater things. And scenery
and climate may make other places
desirable. But the real rich commun-
ity is that which can boast of the
character of its people. And charac-
ter is moulded in the Sunday schools
and churches.

Discussing The Church and the
Summer Guest" the Christian Work
makes these suggestions for vaca-
lion time: When you reach your
summer place this summer, hunt up
your church the first Sunday, and in.
trOduce yourself and your family to
the pastor, telling him your home
church, and thus linking, as it were,
the weaker to the stronger church.
If the church is supported by pew
rents, rent a pew, if it is only for
three weeks. 1t greatly encourages
and helps the church. If there are
no pew rents, then contribute a pro-
portionate amount. Summon guests
who are paying from SIS to $50
week for board, ought to be ashamed
OF themselves for putting silver in
the contribution box. Be self-respect-
ing and a Christian and throw in as
big bill as you will spend on your
pleasures the rest of the week. III
you attend the mid-wek services at
home, attend L here, and cheer the
people up and encourage the tired
pastor.
