The Law of Service.

Unselfish service for others is the UNI
changeable law in the true Christian life.
The observance of that law has it's re-
ward, if not here, certainly hereafter.
Practical Christian service is not in do
ing good unto those from whom good
may be expected in return, but in doing
good for the sake of Him who taught us
by precept and example the obligation of
relieving and succoring those in want or
distress.
Our service to the poor. when given III
His name and for His sake, has its great
recompense of reward A reward not
conditioned on the magnitude of the
things done, but on the spirit in which
even the little services are rendered.
For whatsoever shall give you a cup OF
water to drink in My name, because We
belong to Christ, verify / say unto YOU he
shall not lose his reward.

Law Misunderstood.

Probate Judge Matthew Bush has
received so many applications under the
new widows pension law that he wishes
a more general understanding could be
had before applications are made. The
law is not intended as temporary re-
lief measure or for families where the
husband fails to provide properly, but
is intended to care, in part. at least, for
children whose fathers are dead, and
where the widow is attempting to bring
up the children in her own home. Many
applications will necessarily be denied
until the law is made broader Oh the
points involved are construed by the
supreme court.

Post Office Notes.

During the month of November six
new accounts were opened at the Owos-
30 post Office in the postal savings de.
partment and one account closed. while
several persons asked for information
and indicated their intention to become
depositors later on. The amount de-
posted during the month was 1922 and
The amount withdrawn 1920, showing
an increase far the month of $702, with
total of $12, III to the credit of the
depositors at the end of the month.
One depositor applied for" $500 regis
tered government bond bearing 2a per
cent interest. An increasing interest
is shown in the postal savings system
by patrons of the Office and it is
thought that if the limit of 500 which
can be deposited in one month as we'll
as the limiting of deposits to $500 are
removed or largely increased that the
deposits would soon double.
Kelley & Douglass have been awarded
a contract by the Treasury Department
to install a sanitary drinking fountain
in the work room of the Office and an
ice box in the basement to cool the
water. The cost of the improvement is
$3.50.
Christmas packages marked not to be
opened until Christmas have com.
menced to go through the Office in con-
siderable numbers, showing that the
advice of the post Office department to
man packages early is being needed.
The advice is to also wrap all packages
securely and address them plainly, both
being points which should not be over.

ages have been offered for mailing SO
poorly tied that employees were obliged
to tie them again in order to send them
out of the Office. But twenty days re.
