MISSION PROGRAM RENDERED
STRESSED MISSIONS IDEAS

The Missionary Society OF the Gen.
trail PRESBYTERIAN church rendered a
most pleasing program at the church
last night in the form OF a mission
service which featured the Wash
ington's birthday and neglected mis-
atoms The contrast of American eX-
rerditures with the sums spent on
missions was very striking. Miss
Pernicia MeCluny took the part OF
America and 20 ten pretty young
ladies' dealt out sums spent during
the year for various things, such as
tobacco. fireworks. rum, candies,
soda water, etc, which seemed most
enormous when compared with the
few dollars paid for mission. While
America was dealing out theset
mammoth sums the Indian girl and
the mountain girl, representing home
missions, asked for recognition, but
America was dealing out these
notice, and when foreign missions
came for recognition there was noth-
left TO give.
Throughout the program the ideas
OF Washington birthday and mis-
sions was carried out Mrs. Hogan
rendered a beautiful solo. Miss Burks
and Mrs. Payne gave duet and
and George Edwin McWhirter gave
a splendid reading Eight little
boys saluted the flag in most mill
tary manner.
Taken as whole the program was
che of the most delightful mission
programs ever rendered, and much
society which arranged the
program.

Russians repeatedly charging in SER
ried lines a dozen deep. only to be
repulsed each time with frightful
losses, according to the Austrian Of

that the attacks have not netted the
Russians an inch OF territory.
