Rural Mail Service.

Knoxville Journal: A great many
people have been led to believe that
the rural free delivery is almost self.
supporting, on account of the sale OF
an extra number of stamps, money
orders and stamped newspaper wrap
pers, etc. Mr.. Roche Mentzer of the
local post office has made some com
parsons which neatly repute that
notion. Knoxville haE nine rural
mail men, each of whom receives q
salary of $S3.33 per month, AT
least they average that amount, OF
combined average salary OF $3.50
per month. During the month OF
December, (extra heavy on account
of Christmas letters and packages)
all the boys together only sold stamps
to the amount of $135.

PASTOR IS WELCOMED.
Rev. Alfred Cave Takes Charge of
Congregational Church.

Sunday marked the beginning of 9
new pastorate in the Congregations
church, Rev. Alfred Cave, formerly OF
New Hampton, holding his first ser
vice Sunday morning. The extreme
cold kept some away but good audi
ence was present to welcome the new
pastor. The deacons occupied the
platform with Rev. Cave and Deacon
Edris, senior deacon, introduced Rev.
Cave to his new flock.
After extending a few words of
greeting to the membership the pas
tor explained something of his hopes
and plans for the coming year and
his work in this field. He said it
vas his custom to choose a motto for
the year at the beginning of each new
year. For 1912 he had chosen the
18th verse of the 5th chapter of End
Corinthians: Wherefore We hence
forth know no man after the flesh;
even though we have known Christ
after the flesh, yet now we know him
so no more" In the modern speech
translation by Prof. Weymouth this
verse reads: Therefore for the fu-
ture we know no one simply as a
man. Even if We have known Christ
as a man yet now We do so no more"
The speaker brought out the fact
that though Paul may never have
seen Jesus of Nazareth yet he knew
and Comprehended the Christ better
than even Peter, James and John.
Tic argument might be summed UP
II the statement that all thinking,
even scientific thinking Is coming
Lore and more to recognize that"Man
is not 4 body having spirit, but q
spirit having Z body" While We
today Know more Of the historic
Christ than any generation, except
those following close upon his earthly
life, yet everywhere the trend Of
thought is to emphasize not his hui
mainly but Christ as the spiritual
manifestation OF God.
The discourse vac scholarly and
Re-. Caves appeal was
not to the head G'o.e. but he request
ed his hearers to listen with their
hearts as well, cOmMending to his
people the practical application Of
his text by Incorporating into the
conduct OF everyday affairs their
knowledge of the spirit Of the Christ. :

loved ones. In each and every case
we have tried to extend the love and
sympathy OF the Circle. A number
OF our Circle ladies attended and as
rade Jones, OF Beacon, which the fam.
lily appreciated very much.
We have not had many social
events during the year, but those we
have had have been enjoyed very
much. Our Lincoln birthday social
was a little belated. but we had re.
freshmentS, after which Sister Mont
gomeTy had charge OF a short but in
teresting program. at which time Col.
J. F. Mcneil gave a most excellent
talk on his visit 10 Springfield at the
Lincoln Centennial
On Decoration Day the Sisters
made 260 wreaths. A special com.
mittee was appointed 10 decorate the
graves OF our departed sisters.
After the march to the cemetery,
the comrades repaired to the base,
ment of the Christian church, where
the sisters had bountiful repast
prepared. There were more than
two hundred people fed. One hun
dred comrades and members of Co.
F, besides, sat down at one time.
Nine sisters attended the state con
vention at Muscatine, of which our
first delegate, Sister Foster, gave Z
most excellent report.
On Sept. 9th we held our annual
picnic, which was a success in every
way, the day was ideal, a nice crowd
and a splendid dinner. After dinner
the occasion resolved itself into an
informal farewell to Sisters Blanch-
ard and Felker. who were going from
among us. Short talks were made by
Sisters Woodruff, Foster, Blanchard
and others. All came away feeling it
was good to be there.
At our special meeting for inspec,
ton, supper was served to all sis
tiers and their families.
During the year there have been
nine new members taken in and two
comrades obligated.
While the Hornets Nest Brigade
was here we helped to solicit enter
tainment and some of the sisters en-
tertained in their homes. The pro-
gram in the city schools in February
commemorated the birthdays of Lin
coin and Washington was well attend
ed by our members, and thus in var.
ious ways have We tried to be active
and useful.
