hearts that we record the death Of
our beloved friend and classmate, Miss
Lou Ella Watkins. She was a CON

caught the spirit of service. for she
was an active worker in the Sunday

mans Missionary society and stood
ready to take part in all religious
work May her Christian life and
strong womanly character lead and
inspire all who knew her to higher
and noblcr things.
The following resolutions are adopt
ed by the Sunday school:
That we strive to be better Chris
tian workers; that we bow in humble
submission to the will of our Heaven
ly Father;
That we send our deepest sympathy
to the bereft family; that page in
the minute book be inscribed to her
memory; that copy OF these resolu-
tions be sent to the Baptist Courier

The Worlds Great Rivers.

The longest river in the world is
the Amazon, which runs through Peru,
Ecuador and Brazil in South America.
1t is 3,944 miles in length. The sec
ond longest river is the Nile in Africa,
which is $500 miles long. The Mis-
sissippi is only the third longest river
with length of $500 miles. The Mis-
souri,, however, is its longest branch.
and including it the Mississippi has a
total length of 1920 miles. The Mis-

257,545 square miles. while the Mac
kenzie river, which has a total river
system of nearly 1000 miles. drains
an area of little less than 100000
