At Christian Church.

The cold evening did not prevent
a large audience at the church. AZ
ter a general song service the lights
were lowered and the list of favorite
songs given to Mr.. HackeIman was
thrown on the screen. They were
the soul inspiring hymns Of long ago
which are familiar to all. Most OF
them songs which will live and be
loved as long as our language is
spoken, which so far as human wis
dom can tell will be until Jesus
comes again Many of these favor
tie songs of our mothers were writ,
ten by very humble Christians, OF
whose life we know but little. They
we're songs in which self is entirely
forgotten and burn with a single de-
sire,-to honor Christ, the head OF
the church. Hymns written to make
the author distinguished or for any
other purpose, soon die. The audi
ence joined in singing few verses
from each of these hymns. They
all seemed good and We're thoroughly
enjoyed. Many wore badges OF
white ribbon or carnations. Mr..
Farley gave a sermon on Mother
hood" receiving the best OF atten-
ton to the close. It was sermon
which appealed 70 the heart and was
full of both touching and interesting
facts, Two persons responded to the
invitation, While the. services were
peculiar, they were fitting and give
rest to the Instructions from the
pulpit.

AN INCH or RAIN

An inch of rain strikes one as very
little but it is really a big rainfall.
1t is more than falls in New York
in an average week
When an inch of rain has fallen it
means, literally, that the amount OF
water descending from the sky in that
particular shower would cover the
surrounding territory to a depth OF
one inch providing, of course, that il
did not run away or soak into the
ground.
II means that on one acre water
enough to fill more than 600 barrels
of forty-five gallons each has fallen.
This quantity OF water weighs more
than 10 tons. If the rain storm GOV,
cred a territory comprising a thous'
and acres. which would be a very
small shower, 10000 tons of water
would fall from the clouds. Rain
storms frequently cover whole states
and often four or five inches of
water fall in one rain. In this case
the total number of tons of water
falling to earth is enormous.

LIGHTING THE FARM.

Everywhere in Iowa the farmer is
discovering that farm is not simply
place where people are expected TO
work, but also a place to live, aD'
serves the Burlington Hawk-Eye.
While he is paying more attention to
agriculture than ever before, the far
mer is also becoming interested in
country life. He is coming to think
as much of the home as he does oil
the barn. And he has arrived at the
conclusion that the best nome in the
town is not better than the best IN
| the country ought to be. He has dis
covered that he can have all the
