"'Effendi. it is the will of GOdr
"'But you do not allow horses or
camc!s to be beaten thus
" 'Effendi. the donkey is not like
the horse. nor yet is he like the camel.
The reason is this: Upon certain day
the donkeys went before Allah and
complained that they were grievously
beaten by men. SO that life was n
greater burden than they could bear.
Then said Allah: Il cannot nuke men

loss But | will help you. | will give
you so thick n hide that. however
much you are beaten. you shall not

of drums, and the donkey continues

Methodist Church Notes.
BY THE PASTOR.

Miss Margaret Taylor will lead the
league next Sunday night.
The Sunday school Is so large that
Mrs. Babcock finds 1t necessary to
take the primary classes over to her
home.
The Epworth League social and
business meeting with Miss Reynolds
last week was delightful affair
though conducted as . poverty" So
cial, nd the gathering did look like
real hard times, but the lunch and
jolly spirit dispelled the illusion.
At the regulay monthly business
meeting of the church, last Monday
night, 1t was decided to excuse DR..
Lace from attending the next quar-
terly visit, on account of the need Of
his presence at Glenwood Springs,
because Of the serious illness Of the
pastor there. The meeting will be
held by the pastor, Saturday evening,
April 22nd.
The musical entertainment given
under the auspices Of the Ladies' Aid
society, at the church, Wednesday
evening OF this week, by local talent,
was attended by an audience that
filed the house and all available ex-
ira seats. The whole program was
made up of high-class talent, and
every number pleased the large.aud-
fence wonderfully. The specially
high grade of each lumber precludes
special mention. The Aid and the
Church are very grateful for assist
ance SO freely given by each one who
took part in making this one of the
very best entertainments of its kind
ever enjoyed in Meeker.
