Secretary Cahill cited an instance
OF pastor who declined call with
20 per cent increase in salary on
account of the fact that his parish
was large and he feared that others,
with less knowledge of its needs,
could not satisfactorily supply it. An.
other pastor, who receives a salary OF
$1OO month less than he could pro-
cure and who has remained in his
parish for the same reason was also
described by the speaker. True hero
ism is shown in these instances, Mr.
Cahill averred.
Under the heading of victories
which the churches have won, Secre-
tary Cahill narrated an account of an
evangelistic meeting in an attempt to
establish a church which was plot
ted aginst by certain roughs of the

dress immensely.

tions of the church. In the main
room, S. s. Lappin of Cincinnati spoke
on "Take Heed to Thyself." Mr.. Lap
pin spoke of the extreme necessity of

He further urged that church boards

ity' advocated the placing OF the
church on a business and systematic
basis in opposition to sloppy methods.
Mr.. Cooper is a real estate man.
The report of the board of man
ayers of the Ohio Christian Mission
ary society was given Wednesday
morning by Secretary !. j. Cahlll. It
follows in brief:
Five years ago the Ohio Christian
Missionary society undertook a pro-
gram of enlargement greater than
ever in her history. BY direction Of
the convention heavy obligations
were assumed to save the cause in
Marion and in TifIin. At the same
time the Sunday school work was put
upon a basis more elaborate and ex-
pensive to a radical degree.
The changes thus planned involved
an increase of not less than $4,000 in
the annual budget. In addition to
this unparalleled increase, there oc-
Cured remarkable succession of
providential openings In Cadiz, Cam
bridge and Middletown. entailing a
further addition to the budget OF
$1,000 a year.
With an income averaging only
$11,550 per year for the three years
preceding, this sudden adding of
$4,000 to the budget brought a heavy
strain.
Since that time seven other mis-
sions have been taken up, assisted
nearly score Of churches through
the great flood disaster, helped in a
vital way by service of state workers
without cash appropriation 15 church
es in great need.
The results of these enterprises
have been as gratifying as the bur-
dens have been heavy. The new mis-
sion churches named are among the
brightest jewels in the crown of Ohio
Disciples. Under the ministry of the
Bible school leaders, Ohio schools
have retained vision and vigor in the
present time of transition in the work
of religious education.
The flooded churches were all
saved and are today stronger than be-
fore the flood.
Two outstanding facts confront fu-
ture activities of the society. One is
the changing conditions in rural life,
brought about by good roads, auto
mobiles, mail delivery, etc. Changes
must come in rural church work and
the society is the means of taking
care of these.
Secondly, Ohio teens with immi-
grant population. The gospel, the
church and it's institutions and the
inspiration of freedom and hope must
be given these people.
Reporting financially, Secretary
Cahill submitted the following figures
for 1916: net receipts for general
fund, $17,999.99; annuities and be-
quests, $4,95O; building fund, $1,459.-
80. These show gain of $1,763.79 in
the general fund and $1,776 in annui-
ties and bequests over 1915.
1t was also pointed out in the re-
port that the following things necessi-
tate larger work in Ohio: Growing
cities, changing rural conditions, Sun
day school opportunities, unanswered
calls for help, myriads of immigrants
and remarkable results attained so
far.
The concluding address of the
morning was given by F. D. Kershner
of St Louis on the subject, "The Life
Worth While" The speaker stated
that in his opinion, the highly essen
tial characteristics of well-balanced
life are: intellectual development,
character development and cultiva.
tion of taste for the artistic and
emotional. Opportunity, he said,
must be grasped, If the world is to
progress.

VINEGAR VERSUS BUGS.

For the housewife who dislikes the task of picking over greens of var lOus kinds because of the numbers of tiny bugs which often cling to the leaves, here is a hint which may prove helpful: After picking off all dead leaves and other foreign matter, just put a small quantity of vinegar, say quarter of cup, into the painful of water in which you rinse your greens, and you will be surprised to see how the little bugs will dop off into the vinegar-water. The acid of the vinegar seems to render them powerless to cling to the leaves. and thus water-cress, lettuce, spinach, dandelions and other greens may be quickly and easily cleaned of insects. usually give the greens a final rins- Ing In clear water.-Woman's Home Companion.

THE MASTER OF WILDWOOD.

Harold Warren was losing patience. "It seems to me that you take Marion Genmont's disappearance very calm ly," he said.
 T might reply by enquiring why you should so interest yourself in a girl who is nothing to you?" Elliott Wayne retorted.
 Warren controlled himself with a great effort. Wherever you may have lured Marian Glenmont, though it be to the ends of the earth, will follow her and rescue her from you" he said passionately.
 You are still laboring under your delusion, still attempting to connect me with that Indian prince-your guest, not mine! As if he could have any thing to do with Marian Glen mont's disappearance! Faugh!" Wayne snapped his fingers contemp- tuously. "She went because he was tired of you all. Marian is an eccen- tric too, like her father. She will chase -wisps, though they lead her into all kinds of dangers. Be- fore she gets through with her chase after that diamond she will wish she had never seen it."
 And just as Warren was about to reply, Wayne turned on his heel and went out of the room.-From The Peoples Home Journal for June.
