 stranger here than you, may be. All here hae got their feafs and cares: Add you your soul unto our prayers,

 The following item hieh appears in the August issue Of the Missionary Herald will be of interest to all.
 "Dr. and Mrs. Kinnear go back to Foochow after their fuflough with some substantial tokens of generous interest in the work at the station. A pipe organ for the new and large church in Foochow to cost, including trans portation, 5000, was made lpossi- ble by friend in New York; an N-ray apparatus, which will be the only one in any hospital in that part of the province Of Fukien, was purchased with the combined checks of a nun. Der of givers, slenlizing outfit, also for tine i,,si,.ss., ;..;;.;s.!ies another gift of $500. How each Of these treasures will nuke the eyes Of Foochow to stare.n We are glad that through the generosity oi friend Of this church wheel stretcher and wheel chair can be added to this list Of gifts for the teo- chow hospital
 Those who failed to attend the mid week meeting on Thursday evening, missed very helpful service.
 As it was very stormy evening when the Society meeting was recent ly called to consider the matter Of heat ing the church enly A small number were present and The meeting adjourn ed to next Thursday ,vening, Aug. l9. II may not be known to all Of the con Rregalion that the heater which is un. der the center Of the auditorium has fulfilled it's period of usefulness and must now be replaced by another or some other arrangement be made for heating the church. There are many Of our people who would like to have steam heating system installed, the principal objection to it being the ex- tra expense. Under the present ar- engagement it Is practically impossible to heat the choir room during the cold est Of the weather and we have no ia. cilities for heating the vestibue. The running Of three furnaces and three wood stoves necessarily causes more dust and smoke than would result from single heating plant, IL Is generally agreed that one of the ehim- neys on the north side of the church must be built up to give a better draft whether steam heating system is inc stalled or If furnace similar to the present one Is continued in use. The estimates as to the cost of installing n steam heating plant, including the va. rious changes which 1t would necessi. tate range from Sl400 to Sl6o0. The Society committee believe that the present furnace under the auditorium can be replaced with another and the same plan as at present for heating the entire ,building continued, and the chimney built up, which will prob ably be required whether furnace or steam heating plant is installed, at not over one eighth of the cost men, tioned above. Members Of the Eccle. siastiea Society are requested to be nifty which method of heating shall be used.
 The members of the congregation greatly appreciate the service rendered by those who lead us in the worship of song today
