Neglect of Small Duties.

There is saying, "Trifes make per-
lection, but perfection is no trifle." How
easy it is to let the little duties, the odds
and ends of the work pass without the
proper attention when the bigger things
are so necessary to be done but in look
ing among those who have made the
greatest success it is noticeable that
there has been a careful observance of
the smallest duty, and a close watch on
the little things connected with the work.
1t is doing the great things that seem
TO make the show. but if the little ones
are neglected nothing can be made COM
plete.

steadily for five minutes after oiling,

Letter From An Old Butler Boy.

Plattsburg. Mo-, April 2l, 1914.
Hon. Robt. Allen, Butler, Mo.
My Dear Robert: Greetings from
a fellow traveller in Plattsburg, who
finds the climbing good and who
holds old Butler always in cordial re-
membrance, I enclose 800 for The
Times that ! may keep in better con-
nection.
/ say, Robert, do you remember
when we used to play on the B. H. S.
football team, and did sundry other
things in We olden days to make our
selves famous? Little did our ad-
mirers (?) dream that you would be-
come dignified editor and a staid
divine such as the present day finds
us. Well I'm glad Of my work and l
know you are of yours, and here's
every good wish for continued suc-
cess to you.
Perhaps you would like a bit of my
history. After graduating from Will
liam Jewell College in 1903 went to
Baker, Oregon, served five years as
pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church
there; resigned last spring and came
back to study Hebrew, etc. In the
fall | took up postgraduate course
in Hebrew and other studies in Will
liam Jewell, while at the same time
supplied the Plattsburg church each
Sunday. After Xmas, having COM
pleted a semester's postgraduate
work. moved to this field and have
been seeing good results-3l addi-
tions to the membership, 500 raised
and paid on church improvement and
$500 for missions in addition to our
regular expenses. We have splendid
congregations and the church is pros
porous in all departments.
Looking forward with pleasant an
to the weekly visits of The
Times, remain, |
Most cordially yours,
C. H. Eyman.

Sendine the money Away.

With the kind permission ot, the

gram viii here reproduce an excellent
editorial from that newspaper which
is particularly appropriate 70 TINS
city: and in order. to make the article
more realistic for home consumption,
the name of this city is substituted
therein for that of Washington. As
renodeIed, the article is as follows;
Every now and then and sometimes
oftener someone is heard denouneing
in bitterest terms the foreigners resi-
dent here for their habit OF sendlnB
their earnings back to Italy or Hun
gary or Russia or some other lana pc
yond the seas. These complaining
ones call attention to the fact that the
foreigners come here and work and
set the good American dollars but in
stead of spending them here hoard
them up for the benefit OF their nome
lands.
And sometimes the very people who
SO heartily denounce the foreigners
for this course of action are doing eS-
actly the same thing. When Clarks-
burg people send their money to mai
order houses in Chicago or elsewhere
at a distance they are sending away
from home the good American dollar
thew have gained in Clarksburg. They
are failing in their duty to their, home
merchants and their home people.
EVERY time a dollar goes from Clarks-
burg to some faraway mail order
house, one dollars worth of disloyalty
to Clarksburg is registered.
The evils of the patronage of mail
order houses at a distance have been
noted by the managing secretary OF
the board Of trade. The trade board
il OF course organized to help local
business conditions and thereby TO
helm the town in its entirety and in
discouragfng the mail order house
business, in speaking against the Gus
tom of sending Clarksburg money 70
fatten foreign industries, the trade
board is but doing its duty.
The offers of these foreign mail
order houses are of course attractive
at first glance. It is their business TO
he attractive because they wish to at
tract to them the dollars of Clarks-
burg and of other places. But so very,
very often the realization and the dis
appointment come afterwards when
the CIarksburg purchaser finds MS
bargain was not all that he expected
And quite probably little later ne
sees the same article in his own
home stores for quite as low price
or more likely still. he finds right here
at home a better grade Of the same
article at but a slightly increased
price. But the lesson is not always
remembered and again and again the
local buyer falls into temptation and
Yields to those charms from afar and
again good Clarksburg dollars leave

distance.
Now we have no desire TO be seltisl

without thought for the advantage g
