She sits down at her desk, the pen

Night after night she writes, the

The book is finished and she SENDS

The doctor. says there is hope, but
her husband must be sent TO q famous

Work for Christian nifty
The Christian unity commission IN
cludes representative Of most OF the
leading denominations and bids fair to
touch the farthest point yet reached
IN this subject of world wide discus
sion. The reports from the mission
aries in China that their efforts. are in
a measure held BACK by the churches at
nome, Is q matter adding TO the gravity
OF the situation Tt would be possible
to establish one Christian church IN
emma but the establishing OF eacn OF
the different denominations repre-
Sented by the MISS OnarieS is out Of the
question. Since each missionary owes
allegiance to the church by which he is
supported he cannot enter into any
closer relations with other GenOmina-
lions than exists between the churches
OF his home country
The publicity commission has cOncen-
trated its efforts upon measures calcu-
lated to bring religion directly before
the attention Of the public. Many OF
the measures are radical and have
been criticized by conservative church
men, but that some Of them have been
highly successful seems evidenced by
the results

him an iced lemonade, but let the
same man make complaint after she
has married him and she viii tell him
he ought co be thankful he hasn't a
corset Cd.
If she receives no attention from
men she thinks her cross father fright
ened them away, forgetting that wild
indians couldn't do that If the right
man came along.
II is hard TO get her to sing in COM
pany. but after she has started some
thing desperate must be done to get
her TO stop.
When she is a bride and doesn't
know her husband very well, she exag-
gerates his illness. but after a few
years he has to die to prove 1t.
