Responsibility Rests Upon Too Few
People; Lack of SociabiIity Keeps
People From Service

Continuing the discussion Of the
subject, 1.-The Source of Power of
the Church." the Brotherhood of the
Presbyterian church held one of the
most successful meetings of that
organization in the church parlors
last evening. The branch of the
churches power that was considered
at this meeting was Service" this
meeting being for the purpose of
Analysing the church work and
showing who really does the labor
of carrying on the vast organization.
E. C. Willard started the literary
work of the evening with a very
able and carefully prepared paper
on the subject. Mr.. Willard said
out plans, ideals and some definite
goal for which they can strive and
center their efforts. He felt that
| the church occupied this place in
the life of man. The divine wor-
ship that sprung from the life of
the church furnished something that
! was necessary to the public growth
of community.
Preaching Method of Teaching.
Preaching is the method of teach
ing in the church and it is through
that source, that process, that the
workings of the church are taught
| to the members. Mr.. Willard de-
scribed the duties of the different
church officials and the part that
they played in supporting the or.
ganization and the review of this
classification showed that the pas.
| tor of the church is the one that
carries the brunt of the burden, and
| it is a burden which taken all to-
gether is more than the pastor
! should carry He felt that the work
should be divided, while the pastor
should have his share, the people
of the church should assume their
| burden as we'll AS one of the
examples of the great work of the
pastor, Mr.. Willard mentioned the
! fact that when there is entertain
! ing of guests to do, that the big
majority of this work is turned d.
rectly to the pastor without a second
thought.
Submitted Some Question.
At the close of Mr.. Wizards re-
marks, C. H. Cooper president of
the Brotherhood, submitted a few
questions to the gathering. The
questions covering the needs Of the
church life of today.
Rev. J. M. Balm thought that the
church occupied a place as re-
formatory and not merely place
as haven for those that were
already saved. He felt that the
reforms of a community should orig
mate in the church and be cham
pioned by the church. The power
of the church should also keep an
eye on the sin of the community
and trace it to it's origin.
"The church of today, must be a
vast organization with lots of pow
er behind it," said w. D. Willard
and the men that are part of the

in the indictment of several local

Since the indictments were re-
turned by the jury there has been
much comment regarding the grand
journeys source of information. 1t
has been alleged ON several occa-
sions that W. A. Corbin had sent
boys into these saloons for the pur-
pose of getting evidence against the
dealers.
When Mr.. Corbin was asked re.

against him, he declared that he
was innocent of the act and denies

Timely Bee Notes.

Itts the veriest folly to try to winter
over n weak colony, for 1t is almost
sure to perish. and for this and other
reasons unite two or more such col
onies to give sufficient bees to insure
warmth, etc. Just throw them togeth-
er in one hive, queens and all, and let
the bees fight it out themselves as to
which queen shall sway the scepter OF
power.
1t is mooted question as to whether
the entrance of the hives should be con-
tracted where bees are to be wintered
out of doors. Many experts consider 1t
best to contract the entrances. A shin
gle or other piece of wood can be used
for this purpose. 1t should be so tack
ed over the entrance of the hive as TO
allow the colony an outlet Of one to
two inches.
