WEBSTER CITY, 1owATUEsDAY, JUNE Is, 1915.


Methodist church, several children
were presented for baptism, and the
usual sermon hour in the forenoon
at the Congregational church was
given over to a Children's Day pro-
gram and the christening of chill
dren. In the morning also at II
o'clock the children of the Christian
Sunday school gave a splendid pro-
gram of songs and recitations and
instrumental musical numbers.
In the evening, the Baptist and
United Brethren churches held the
usual Children's Day programs from
the primary departments of the Sum
day schools. Upon all occasions big
crowds were out for there is no SER
vice which is so attractive as that
which is for and by the little tots Of
the Sunday schools.
The little ones on this occasion
were in no way behind those Of for
mer years who each June lisp or
stammer out their songs of Gods
love for little children. Upon these
occasions the girls far out number
the boys who, voluable on all other
occasions, are generally tongue-tied
and stammering upon Children's
Day. Whether perfectly learned or
prompted many times by the teacher
from the front, the recitations and
songs of little children upon the oc-
,asion known as Children's Day are
among the most enjoyable things of
ife.

 have overcome the world" We must
 meet difficulties and temptations to discouragement and sadness, but would
 Christ mock us by saying. Be of good
 cheer" if there were reason to be sad and anxious? It is because He
 has overcome the world that He re-
 peatedly tells us not to be anxious.
 'only believe Let us deternlinedlv form the habit when discouragement or sorrow attacks us of looking to Him with the remembrance that He overcOmes the difficulty or the trOu- ble, no matter how great it is nor how long it lasts, that lie will bring out of it the opposite of what it seems to be. My strength is made perfect in weakness" The only req uisite on our part is to believe what He says if we will to believe our faith will grow.
 Even in the smallest things we are tempted to make complaining re- marks. to be sorry and discouraged about little happenings and little fail ures. Did you ever notice how quick ly such feelings drive away the Holy Spirit? They are a denial of the Savior'S power to save to the utter most. The means of bringing back the Holy Spirit is to remember that there is no reason for discouragement, thinking this is not what it seems, Christ overcomes it, for he has prom ised."
 It takes perseverance and determina- tion and prayer to form such a habit, but it is worth while for it is the road to heaven on earth
 Jesus lived a life of joy in spite of his sad mission. We remember that He lamented over Jerusalem. but He added: "Ye shall not see Me until the time come when ye shall say. blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord" Jerusa- lem was rejecting Him, but He over 1 came the sorrow concerning the 1 apparent outcome of his efforts with 1 the thought of the real victory that | would be evident in the future
