First Presbyterian Church.

The topic for the morning service
was Home Missions. Statistics and
data from number of
charts that are issued by NE Home
Mission Society, were explained in a
very instructive manner. Among the
many questions that confront the
ChHrch today, is that. Of immigration.
The great numbers coming to this
country. with no church traditions be-
hind them, must be educated i'm good
citizenship. TO have faith in man
and faith in this land of ours that
which ennobles, lifts up and prepares
them to enjoy the best there is in life.
1t was shown that the number of
women and girls engaged in domestic
employment has been decreasing year
by year. This affects very materially
the conditions of home life, and many
problems arise in consequence that
are hard to solve. Women are
proving their worth and ability in
professional, mechanical and business
lines, and men are realizing that their
own best efforts must be put forth to
maintain the positions they have
held in the world of industry. The
fact that the population of a number
of our states has decreased. shows
that something must be done in rural
communities to keep the young peo-
pie on the farms. The schools there
should be of "A different character, and
the children early taught to see and
appreciate the charm and beauty with
which nature surrounds them. When
this is done there will be little or
no craving for the excitement and
amusements of the city. Statistics
show that the church today, in it's
Oh :tstianizing influence, is holding its
own, The members and adherents
are so strong in numbers, that if they
would rise up in their might, they
could crush the liquor traffic or any
other evil of the day In the evening
MIR. McFerran gave a talk on the sec
.ond clause of the Apostles Greed.
There is a growing interest in these
talks, and they are worthy of the very
closest attention.

being so disfguring that stunned

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of the Difference BE-
tween Domestic Standards Now
Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation of
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard of young married
women Of today and those of the past
generation. How did the women of
the middle class of generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards. and they knew much less
about the science of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children weekly
BATH kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made it easier for her by
doing likewise
