HYATTsvILLE. Md. Dec. A.-This
section Of Prince George county has
done its share toward furnishing holly
and other evergreen for the Christmas
decoration Of Washington. In some
cases tho visitors have brought the
wrath of the owners down upon them

the plants. In their eagerness to get
plenty, holly seekers have deliberately
cut down tree after tree. AZ It takes
several years for one Of these trees to
reach "A size where II can be used Tor

Beautiful Program Well RsndA a
Sunday Evening.

One of the most impressive Child
ren's Day services(ft> has ever been
our privilege to attend was given at
the Southern Methodist church on
last Sunday evening. The theme
of the program was -The
Children's King" and for symmetry
and dignified beauty it would be
hard to conceive more pleasing
one. The aim was to present a
simple yet attractive and compre-
hensive Life of Christ. The chill
dren were SO beautifully trained that
they entered into the story in an
unusually thoughtful way. The pro-
gram opened with the BIRTHDAY OF
the KING read from Luke 1880
in a clear voice by one OF the you1K
girls, followed by sweet solo, "Uu-
der the Stars The visit 20 the
temple when boy OF twelve was

sembly in his presence agreed with
him. He presented three hypothe-
ses for their consideration, First
briefly: For the relief of the sick
and the injured 1t is absolutely
necessary that there must be an
adequate supply of physicians and
surgeons. If this supply was not
only not maintained but was con
stantly diminished, what, the doc
tor asked. would be the effect up
on humanity?
Secondly: What would be the
Inevitable result OF sufficient
number OF school teachers was not
provided and kept up? But this
contingency need not be feared or
discussed. The existing ratio of
teachers to scools, in some sections
at least, is about five to one.
The third supposition related to
the supply of preachers, and the
amazing facts and figures hurled in
volleys at his hearers during the
discussion of this point certainly set
them to thinking. DR.. Crossfield
showed by his facts and figures
that the number Of preachers in
everyone of the evangelical churches
in the United States is decreasing,
and at such a rate that the result
is inevitable unless the pendulum
swings the other way. This is, in
deed, The Crisis Among the Discip-
les. The speaker plead for more
preachers, for better preachers and
for better paid preachers. There
will be more preachers when we
fall into the custom of the good old
Scotch who plan to set apart at
least one boy in every family for
the ministry. And when he is chos-
en- they educate him.
DR.. Crossfield was optimistic, be-
lieving that the Crisis would in
time be successfully met and the
world be won for Christ.

tian Church was filled to repletion
with delegates and citizens. The ex-
ercises on this occasion we're of a
