The quarterly meeting SER
cises held November 3 were very
profitable, DR.. Bright preached
a very able and spiritual dis
course. The outlook for the year
is very encouraging.
The temperance program Civ
en- Sunday night was much en-
ioyed by the large congregation.
The progress made in the last %
years is phenomenal, 10 states
up to April /, 1916, under prohi-
bition. In 1893 in some of them
there was not a single dry
spot. Severay more have been
added to the "drys' at the rc-
cent election. Surely the 'truth
is marching on" Now for a
clean sweep. Let none cease 20
work. Pray and vote until
America is free from the curse
of drink.
The w. c. T. L. met with Mrs.
Elliott last Tuesday afternoon.
A good rousing meeting was held
and refreshments served. Miss
Quasi brought her Sunday
school classes and repeated a
part of the program rendered
Sunday night to the delight Of
those present. The thanks Of
the community are due Miss
Quasi for her painstaking work.
The collection for the relief of
the starving Armenians and Sy-
rians has been sent in. 1t
amounted to $500. A little
token of brotherhood sent out
across the seas to save the per-
ishing. | was sure Columbus
would respond nobly TO this
work. Thank you, one ami all.
The Epworth league held its
first business meeting, followed
by a social Tuesday night. 1t
was an enjoyable affair, both
in a business way and in the So
cial hour.
The Epworth league services
at $3.50 next Sunday evening will
be led by Chaplain Myron O.

EVANGELIST WARNS
THOSE WHO TRANsGREss

"It Is appointed unto man to die.
but after this the judgment" was the
text announced by Evangelist Mathis
Friday night at the Tabernacle.
what an awful thing 1t will be for
the man who has transgressed the
law OF God. and then come face to
face with Him who has said Thou
shalt not You may deceive others
here. but you can not deceive your
God here nor at the judgment seat,
and the devil you stand up for in
this world will surely hiss YOU out
Of H.
20, that mankind had as much
sense to heed the danger signals OF
death as a railroad engineer. You
see and hear the signals that sin is
mans greatest enemy, and you heed
them not. I want to say to you once
again that we have wonderful
Saviour, that His grace Is sufficient
for us. and that He is our best
friend"

depth Of feeling. The Old Ship OF

HUBBY HAD NOT FORGOTTEN
Was Right There With Wedding An
niversary Present, and Yet Wife
Was Not Pleased.

1t was late afternoon and time to
get her husbands supper. but the
woman sitting moodily by the fire
never moved.
Her heart was breaking.
1t was her birthday. She had been
married only four years, but he-her
husband-had forgotten her birthday
already. That morning he had given
her no present; not even an extra
kiss before rushing off to town.
Presently there was the sound Of
a key turning in the lock. Into the
room came her husband. Still she
never moved.
He bent over her and whispered as
he dropped tiny parcel into her lap:
Many happy returns. darling!"
Her heart was mended. She sprang
to her feet and seized him in a frantic
grasp as she realized that. after all,
he still loved her. Then she opened
the parcel.
"Pipe cleaners!" she gasped. as she
displayed a little bundle of feathers.
"Yes. sweetheart" said the man. II
knew that they'd please you. as you
object to my using your hairpins!"
