Billions of Savings.
From the New Bedford Standard.

From the New Bedford Standard.
Discouraging statistics and good deal
Of talk are offered about the immense
number of people who reach old age with
out provision for meeting its needs. Evi-
dences are not lacking that the statement
in this direction is overdrawn. since a
lack of material possessions does not al
ways prove a state of dependence upon
public charity. Many old persons have
invested their means In earlier years in
sons and daughters, that prove an invest
ment capable of paying and that do pay
large dividends In love and care. Old age
without houses and land and stocks and
bonds is not always improvident old age.
Signs there are OF degree of IMPROVE
dence in the younger generation that
would seem to bode destitute old age: and
yet who could be downcast about the sit
uation IN the face Of the fact that the
savings banks Of this country have on de-
post more than four billions OF dollars
proof of thrift-which means hard work
and careful savings through self-denial--
that discounts to a degree the evidence
that this is an extrayagant and a thought
less age.

The Farmers Friend.

From the Home Progress Magazine.
From sunrise to sunset certain kinds
of birds are steadily eating the seeds
of weeds. Many of the weeds are an
nual: that is, they are killed each win
ter by the frost, and depend on their
seeds for chance to appear again
in the spring. 1t is on these seeds
that many birds depend for food dur
ing the winter.
The number of seeds destroyed in this
way is enormous. In Shrewsbury,
Mass. snowflake picked up for
breakfast in garden in February
1000 seeds of pigwood. The mourn
ing dove takes very active part
in this warfare against weeds. In the
crop of one killed in a rye field in
Warner, Tenn. were found $500 seeds
of wood sorrel. AS these represented
one meal, the value of this dove to the
farmer would be difficult to overesti-
mate. Everything possible should be
done to prevent it's meeting the fate
of it's more beautiful relatives. the
passenger pigeons, which few years
ago were so numerous as to darken
the sky during their migration. but of
which now not single pair remains.

NJ English Baptist minister who was

fist Church of New York for time, and
who later turned Congregationalist and
became a San Francisco pastor, is to be
asked next to turn Dutch Reformed and
to become pastor Of big church that is
to be created by the consolidation of two
downtown churches and the erection of
one great preaching plant and place on
the upper West Side of Manhattan in
New York
Not a few uncertainties stand in the
way. One of them is whether the divine
will accept, and another is whether the
amalgamation of the two churches can be
brought about. OF the latter SO sure are
the projectors that they allow their pur-
poses to become known. 1t is to be said,
though. that some doubt the feasibility OF
the plan.
Asked while III the east just now
whether he would return to stay, DR..
Aked replied by praising California. its
people and it's climate most eXtravagantly
and declaring his purpose to spend all OF
his days there. When preaching In New
York, the first time he had done SO since
quitting the Fifth Avenue paStorate, he
attracted his former crowds.
DIR. Aked is said to belong to the liberal
wing of all bodies; liberal in practices II
not in theology. AS d Baptist he was for

THE second impression. and one that

power and value of foreign missionary

that they were not only missionaries,

less work was done. but it
was more beautifully wrought,
thus bringing much OF it into his
tory.
Panel embroidery demands the
greatest care in following each
and every line with every stitch As
a significant feature. Careless
work should not be tolerated. for
once the panel is finished. it is a
thing OF beauty. Silks are used in
bringing out the perfect design,
and any number of colors can b.
used. though dull tones. such as
are shown i'll tapestry, are best
suited to the work.
Take, for example. the panel
showing the woman head as a
central motif. The form can be
solidlv worked, but SO carefully
must one blend the colors that no
one tint should predominant.
though, OF course. the color OF the
eyes. lips. hair and cheeks should
be distinguiShable The ribbon
and scroll effects can be in heavy
relief. raised slightly. but not pad
ded. Ii care is exercised. this en-
tire panel can be worked in fiat
surface effect. The background
must be worked wholly in one
tone and in one direction.
The floral panel is an outline
design and its fretwork of lines
and leaves furnishes a pleasing
background to the flowers. The
Battenberg stitches are used here,
and the flowers can be made Who'll

they are made in Battenberg lace
fashion, then embroider the out
side leaves in solid satin stitch
Only very fine silk or floss will
look attractive for use in either

When rubbing you can see IL enough

very simple. and with a little care you
can easily make perfect transfers to any
kind of goods.

this city who have contributed to the
personal support of the Y. NJ. C. A.
evangelist Fred B. Smith, for the
past ten years are following with deep
interest the present world tour which
Mr. Smith is making conformity with
Raymond Robins for the extension of

ment to foreign lands. This movement
has peculiar application, in view of
the fact that it was originated by
Harry w. Arnold while he was director

First word of the progress of the
Smith Robins tour was received in this
city last week Writing from Honolulu.
Hawaii under date of January p, Mr.
Smith says:
I'VE have come in contact with some
splendid organizations during the past
two years. but absolutely nothing bet
ter than the plan as worked out here
by the committees in Honolulu.
From the time we stepped off the
ship until we will have stepped back
on another ship to sail for Japan every
day has been filled with meetings and
conferences of the most vital character
I'VE will have held about seventy-two
different meetings and conferences by
the time We get through. They have
involved not only every type of Chris
tan work, but they have also involved
about every type of nationality.
Il do not know whether there is an
other place in the world where we will
come in contact with such varied ma
lions, races, colors and tongues as here
in Honolulu. OF course. there are many
places where you can say that you can
find fifteen or twenty different nation

With this brief outline of service before
us let us see what the Christian should
possess or seek to gain of grace and
strength that his work may please God
and accomplish much good. And, first.

Willingness to do ordinary things in
good way: for SO many slight the daily
tasks while they seek for some wonder
full exploit which shall Slorify them in
human eyes. The ideal Christian takes
just what comes to him of service and
performs it with all his heart, and so
when large enterprises demand at
tention men know where to find a
trained worker. L sometimes fear we
are using faulty methods in our edu-
cation when we place the pupil in the
midst Of rich material and supply him
with every new tool. For in the strug-
gle of life Ne will not find either the
rich material or the variety of tools
and So he will be helpless. We ought
to teach boys to do common things in
way which will demand ina ina ton
and ingenuity and invention. | found
this little poem in "a New Hampshire
paper and il set me considering:
One had the marble ready his hand
And cunning instruments to cut the shape.
And made form Of beauty aud command.
And one toiled trelesS. long day by day.
With nothing for his tools but naked hands
And nothing for his work but common clay.
And all men bowed before the marble form
And hailed him master who had done this thing
And at the clay they Knocked with jest and scorn
And one walked proudly, crowned with mems
acclaim
And sat sullen mastering through his
beard:
Behold, did my hest! Whose then the blame:
i do not like the last verse. 1t ought
rather to suggest angel coming and
pra1sing the man who :. Fought in the
clay with his hands: tor such one
really gains the finest victory.
Finally, we need heroism, which pre-
SuppoSeS sacrifice, in our service. Not
what we gain for self but what we lose
in the joy of doing for God will at last
bring eternal happiness. In the royal
gallery at Versailles a French marshal
is represented with a wooden leg, an
empty sleeve and one eye destroyed. and
the inscription reads: He scattered
everywhere his limbs and his glory
price of his victory, and the warfare in
which he was engaged left nothing
sound about him but his heart" | think
the real Christian who serves truly has
some such experience. His heart is the
only strong thing; all else he has gladly
given for the glory of his Master. His
vitality has entered a thousand weak
ened lives. His love has cheered a
thousand Swallowed homes. His courage
has gone out into many Respondent
souls And all he brings to Christ at
last is body and brain and "a life
half in ruins, but heart throbbing
with glorious joy as he looks into the
face of his King and cries: Whose
