Dear Auaf Madee and Sisters Of the N. B. O.,
How do you dot 1t has been so long since /
have written TO the column that would not
blame cur dear Aunt Madge il she struck my
name from the list But / have had many
things to take up my mind and attention dur
ing the .ast few mouths. This has been an
eventful year. In less than eleven months.
there has been among the near relatives, two
weddings, one birth, three deaths, and no END
of sickness.
We have had in our own family a goodly
share of the joys and sorFows. The sick ones:
1 am happy 70 say, are much improved The
daughter, whom you ali met at the reunion is
gaining in health and strength every day and
hopes before long TO be entirely well. She left
us a few weeks ago for her home in another
town.
Suppose the sisters are all busy preparing
for Christmas. Am so glad that there are
others who dislike the fad, or whatever ii is, OF
calling dearlola Christmas Xmas. never
liked ii and never use it unless l am crowded
for time space Let others give their
opinion on the subject.
Haven't we had q pleasant fail; SO many
beautiful daysl OF course there have been
stormy ones and some quite cool days. but we
must take the bitter with the sweet. 1t is
lovely to-day, with bright sun and bracing
air. If the days are short. we have nice long
evenings in which to read, sew or do anything
that salts our fancy. Had = call from Ann
and Charity a few weeks ago, They both
looked so good to rs! 1t was only door-ysrd
call they made, but we sincerely hope when
they come again they will tarry longer.
As have written quite a long letter, viii

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, with
gifts in abundance, health, happiness and a

familiar hymn announced and then to hear the choir sing the hymn to a tune that no one knows but those in the choir. This is one reason congregational sing ing is not as general as It should be.
 Some one has called choirs necessary evil. I am not prepared to say that they are an evil or a necessity. At Spurgeons tabernacle there was no choir. 1 have heard precentor lead the singing there when about 4oo0 people were present. and 1t seemed that everyone in the tabernacle sang. Talmadge, in the Brooklyn taber- nacle, had precentor, eornetist and an organist. l shall never forget & memorial service that I attended at the tabernacle. 'Who Are These in Bright Array" was the opening hymn; prayed first by the organ and cornet and then sung by 5000 people. O, it was wonderful. Yet, l have heard the great ehoirs of St. Pauls and St. Margarets, in London, and have thought that every church should have it's choir, so worshipful-+and elevating was the music. Nevertheless, l dare not hope to save the average choir from ad- verse criticism so long as the world reads of the Englebourne choir In Tom Brown at Oxford, of of the Shepperton church choir in George Ellots Sceins of Clerical Life. Here is wise, good natured satire In the 18th chapter of Felix Holt, George Eliot says some striking things about choirs. l select this paragraph:

The responsibility of the service was upon me. felt that should make a protest at the beginning Of my life in the parish against all "toplofticai' singing. With studied courtesy and calm ness I suggested that while I appreciated what they wanted to do for my first ser vice. I would like them to sing simpler music There fell perceptible chill upon my singing people.

cusses also the various convergent lines of truth in sectional meetings, all under the lead of specialists and experts, among keenest discussions at Cleveland, for
 instance, had to do with the pensioning of widows with children, by the local re- lief body, so as to preserve the homo without the cost of the mothers absence at the factory, or that of turning the home into a sweat shop. As Professor Rauschenbusch said the conference rep resented the brain of America at work on America's great woes and cares. At the same moment as the above named debate was at it's highest other meetings were concerned with sex-hygiene, and with the employment of girls. A great audi ence in each case followed and took part in the questioning and the comparison of facts and experiences, sane. sober, earn est men and women, attending and taking notes like class of nurses in a hospital.
 Now if a man Is to run bank he is prepared by course of training. Even a practical laundryman or cook has to be apprenticed to the art, or he will spoil the shirts, the salads the cakes or the collars. But can we assume that the time and thought of men and women like De- vine, Johnson, Graham Taylor, Jane Ad- dams, Mrs. Kelly, Miss Richmond, Judge Mack, Brother Barnabas, Prof. Walter Rauschenbrusch, is all needless because Mir. IgDoramus already knows what best to do with his dollar" for relief? It is as though we should agree that it takes
