into small odd shaped pieces. Each
guest is allowed the time of his

Having a Good Time.

A true appreciate of what life
means-what obligations it i'm
poses for services to others-is the
remedy of frivolity.
How can one who looks upon life as
it is-upon all the sorrow and suffer-
ing that is in the world and know
that in some measure he can alleviate
that sorrow and suffering--be willing
to waste the passing hours in selfish
frivolity?
How unenviable and deplorable is a
life that thinks only of having a good
time.
One who is governed and controlled
by this thought is on the wrong road
to find good time.
What was the greatest happiness
you ever experienced?
Was it when you were in the midst
of some scene of gayety and frvolity,
or was 1t when you had done a loving
deed of charity for a distressed soul
and heard the grateful, fervent words
God bless you?
Virtue alone can give true tov:
The sweets of virtue meyer clog:

| In aiding those whom Cypress

For the speakers: That all leaders
and speakers may be chosen OF GOO
and empowered for their work.
For the delegates: That a multitude
of men may be reached by the cam

sage and methods throughout the ter
ritory of each convention.
For the churches: That there may pc
quickened sense of responsibility in
all the churches, that their latent Splr-
itual energies may be called forth and
that they may adopt and carry out
adequate plans for observation and
extension.
For the spread of the spirit of prayer;
That the campaign may inspire IN
many new convictions about prayer
and that a band of intercessors may be
enlisted behind each missionary IN the
field
In sending out this call to the church
es DIR. Speer urges it upon all the
church members of the United States in
the following words: THE opportuni-
ties and also the difficulties of so great
an undertaking constitute an unusual
challenge to faith and prayer. More
important than all other means OF
preparation is the enlistment of a large
number of intercessors. who. with I'M
clouded vision of Christ, unshakable
faith in God and unwearied persist
ence, will unite in prayer that the
campaign may help to inspire America
to fulfill her service to mankind.
The neglect of prayer by the church at
home means defeat at the front OF
battle''

On the approaching October Is three
quarters of a century will have elapsed
since the organization of the German
Evangelical Synod of North America.
The general conference meets only
every four years, its next meeting
coming in 1917, in Pittsburgh. the
president being Rev. John Baltzer of
St Louis. but extensive preparations
are now being made for general OBJ
servation of the jubilee in all churches
this fall, and jubilee Offering of
$4,000 is being raised for educational
extension.
The synod came from a meeting of
six German missionary pastors, held
in a small town in Missouri. These
pastors were sent out from Switzer-
land and Germany, to spiritually desti-
tute Germans in the middle west,
especially eastern Missouri and south
ern Illinois.
Taking the Prussian Union idea, they
made the first attempt to realize in
practice the ideal of Christian union
set up in Germany by King Frederick
William III of Prussia on the third
centenary of the German reformation,
by adopting the standards of both
Lutheran and Reformed churches, in
80 far as they agree.
The work grew through conventions
