The fine looking son has not grown any
less in weight, and has made a good

young man does not deny that he was
terribly "home sick" for the first few

has been very busy and the activity
is telling on the welfare of the work
of his church. The Baptist neighbor
has been invited to speak to the men,
and found them a good bunch to
help their pastor. The Baptist min.
lister from Cairo had been. introduced
to the pulpit committee mere last Feb
ruary before ne knew anything about
the church. It was this generous act
on the part of Brother Buchanan that
finally resulted in the call of the Bap-

views il called for experiences. The
result of an interview with a business
man is thus described:
He was puzzled to find that his
personal expenses had increased by
s750 a year during the last four ~
five years. He found by analysis
| that the kreater part of the amount
had been expended on various time
saving devices. He spent $3.50 a year
, on taxicabs, greatly increased
| amount on telephones. typewriters.
etc. Then he began to figure up the
amount of time he had saved.
Taxicsbs alone had saved him no
less than 1920 minutes in the course
of year-or seven days eighteen
hours and four minutes. The electri-
fled underground and motor instead
of horse omnibuses had saved practi-
cally another week other traceable
economies Of time brought the total
up to nearly two months. In other
words he had somewhere mislaid the
handsome sum of two months sterI-
ing" with nothing to show for 1t but
a shortage of $3.50 in cash.
The situation. as he says. is grow
ing serious. for the saved time be-
longs entirely to this year. and at the
stroke of midnight on December 31st
will pass along with the rest of 1910
into the limbo OF the expired years.
