Small Damage by Forest Fires on

The report Of Thomas b. Wyman,
the secretary forester of the Northern
Forest Protective associations for the
six weeks period from Aug. / TO Sept
-, shows that the loss to members of
the association because of woods fires
was immaterial. Favorable weather
conditions contributed somewhat to
this fortunate condition, but the as
suciation's rangers were active
throughout the period and stopped i'm
the beginning some fires that might
have been serious. Mr. Wyman writes:
During the six weeks seventeen
fires were reported covering approXi-
matcly 500 acres of land, Of which
area ESQ acres were plains and slash

tual present loss was sustained by as

Of the iioughton Methodist Episcopal

conference with meetings at several

In announcing the plans FOR the COM
ing quarter Rev. Marvin says i'm part:
The policy adopted last year OF
spending some time in holding special
services was 50 satisfactory that it is
my purpose To devote three months to
this work during the coming winter.
found that In most cases one week was
insufficient to accomplish all that
should or that may he done. | hope
therefore to give two fun weeks To
every place where | may be invited to
give assistance. This will require that
/ be relieved from holding the second
quarterly conferences. hope the
churches may be willing to grant such
release
AS singing is an important item in
special services, have arranged to
have soloist and chorus director ac-
company me wherever such plan Is
feasible. The only expense involved is
the entertainment of the soloist and
myself. and a free-will Offering at the
close Of the meetings for the singer.
This should be within the ability of
the weakest churches.
IN order to make my plans carly,
am anxious that the pastors let me
know at once if they desire my scrv-
ices for the special work. Also vhcth-
cr thcy desire the assistance of the
soloist. Those first applying will Of
necessity be given the preference. |
believe that all the churches should
bold at least two weeks Of special
services. and hope that each pastor
may make such plans. If assistance
cannot be obtained. let the church and
pastor work together, and the blessing
of God Will come to their aid.
