We have not enough of home mission work there are a com parative few of these for the amount of work to be done, and they are doing a splendid work, but the space is too great for them to cover often-or stay ;one And the rest of us do not know enough of the needs. They need their A. R, C's, and they need their creed, and they need a real friend to visit them often, to lift them to more important place among their fellow men.
 "A degenerate is a man who renders the world no service-who receives but does not bestow. and who has no disposition to carry his share of life's burdens"
 He is one of the needs we have spoken of. and we must destroy the crop by planting good seed and fertilizing condi- tions.

Wounds In Head Increase

Paris May sO.-Dr. Sandral, who has made a study of fre-arm wounds as af- fecting the sight. declares that the for .rier proportion of 12 to 15 per cent of wounds in the head has been increased in the present war. He attributes 1t in lart to the war of trenches and in part to tine increased effectiveness of shell fire. fifty per cent of wounds affecting the sight are caused by shell fragments, 40 DOT ceiIt by rife bullets. per cent by shrapn .l bull lets and 2 per cent various. The destruc- ton of sight is in the greater number of cases the indirect result of wounds There are a great many cases of what pr. Jsu- dral calls hysterical blindness Men are frequently struck blind as well a. deaf and dumb by shock.

There are many cabbage patches, but few Mrs. wiggs. People are taking the little jolts along life's journey a bit too seriously.
 They do not understand that every thing that grows pulls through the soil and maybe encounters many stones on the way to the sunshine.
 Thus it is with folks--the rough cor ners that they turn, the storms they pass through are but to bring out the best that is in them--they are growing, getting beyond the little things to the greater, if they only learn to bear, to pull cheerfully. giving of their best, aiming at the highest elements of greatness, which are more often clothed in little deeds Riding through the country one sees field after field of weeds in the farmyard, growing without care, or cultivation. growing taller, but not giving out one thing worth while. no fragrance, no nourish- ment and no useful products. They have just sprung into life and are in the way. and will soon be cut down and the roots will rot, and their seed will be useless, except to perpetuate like weeds in another season.
 Nearby is hovel and in there ex- ist human plants just as useless They are living somehow because they have been born, they are feeding poorly, and breathing in 1aziness. and wanting, hardly wishing, and why? They are weeds and have no cultivation, and would not live through the effort of being better, 1t would mean work, and that is too strenuous, so they are kill Ing time in ignorance and poverty They can feel, see and hear, and yet they have not made the best use of their natural instruments given them for a higher life.

they don't grow. because they need depths and brought to new life. taught to think and to labor with head and hand. Then begins the true heart beat. It takes the human hand to lead these people from their dark ness. That hand must reach the home, it must clap the hand of the father and the mother, and bring them out into the atmosphere of a higher life. Give them a chance to see what living means. Teach them they have a charge to keep, to raise human being above the sloth- fitness that follows ignorance. the want and misery, its orphans. Open Inc eyes of the old folks and give them the assurance that you have the fu- ture of their offspring in mind, that you are leading them to light.
 Then go to the cradle and pull out the half clothed babe and give him a start to grow Begin to educate the parent while you are leading their child to right. and you will have an interested class; they will recognize friendship. These are Just such acts, such philosophy as has made Mrs. Wiggs famous, and made flower bed out of "a cabbage patch" She found the down and outs. and taught them to bear those ills and turned their sorrows into bliss.
 When we have learned that the burden of the do wells is that of caring for the less fortunate. not giving them daily bread, but daily charity through l.lndly leading to better things, we, too, will have found the philosophy that will lessen our personal imaginary ills and raise a crop of fruitful results. We are worrying over the little things that come Into our own life, narrowing our own opportunities by selfish fear, when if we'd sometime peep over our neighbors' fence and see the needs that need our cultivation before the reaper cuts them down, or before they grow to maturity and multiply among us still more ignorant people.
 It is very true saying, "one-half the world does not know how the other half lives" and many of Us do not know what is going on within a few miles

r Circulars are to be sent to all girls in the stores and factories with full details relative to the vacation cottage Miss Jones will be in charge during July and August.
 Miss Jones when asked of the gen eral condition of the girls in the classes said she found 1t good. The number of flliterates in this field of work, even in factories and 1aundries, is surpris- ingly small.
 Under such splendid management tn ? future of the working girl is much brighter, the problem of the delinquent girl lessened and through the club can be offset the evil influence of the dance hall, the low vaudeville and picture show
