 The Woman's Missionary Society met at the church Monday afternoon, and although it was a cold, dark day, about 30 of our members were pres ent, which was a source of joy and inspiration to our newly-elected pres ident, Mrs. J. J. Doyne.
 We had an unusually splendid program. Mothers day was observ- ed. Our leader, Mrs. A. J. Meadors, through her earnestness, made the lesson deely impressive, showing us how, as mothers, we have the mould ing of the character of our children in our hands, that the training of the minds and hearts of the children is our responsibility, and that while the child is still baby, is the time to plant the seed that will grow and unfold along with the physical devel- opment of the child. Good talks were made by Mrs. Donnell and Mrs. Edwards. We also had several num- bers of good music by Madams Char lie and Bob Thomson and Crow. We hope to have a full membership next Monday afternoon Mrs. Donnell will lead the devotional exercises, after which we will have Bible study.
 The Senior B. Y. P. U. has recent ly elected new officers, MT. Leslie Grafton is our president, and he IS going into the work with great inter- est. We devoted our last meeting to reorganizing the groups.
 We now have four groups and have started out to reach the Al standard this year. The members are showing much interest and are willing to do their part, whatever that may be. We are looking for ward to great things in our B. Y. P. U. work. We meet at 6:30 p. m. ev- cry Sunday. Everybody invited.
 The Sunbeams will meet Sunday, February 6, at o'clock p. m. Ev- cry member is urged to be present; also all those wishing to become members. We had four new mem bers last meeting. Let us all start

 Preparedness has just been demon- Istrated as preventive failure If ever an empire was prepared Ger many was that empire That the perfection of her readiness was the deciding influence that plunged her into as unnecessary a war as the world has ever seen, no thinking wind will deny. Germany was itch ing to try out her military machine 1t is the old case of the man with pistol in time of quarrel When America has the fighting forces, America will be in danger of want in to fight. This may. not be a neces- sity, but it will be a dangerous prob ability. The time is not propitious for military aggression The other world powers are bleeding to death. They are in no notion of attacking the United States and will not be for a long time to come. They will wei come peace as they never welcomed it before in all their history. Bank rupt, depopulated of soldiers, maim- ed in their citizenship, and torn with the disasters of this dreadful conflict, they will face the problems of recon 'struction in any but belligerent spirit. For America, the leader in and lover of peace, to begin bristling with bayonets in the presence of na- tions hobbling in wounds, seems most .unseemly It is not looking towards the disarmament of nations, in which movement America now has the golden chance of leadership The enormous expense of the program proposed means undue hardship son a people already burdened. What is more, it means a curtailment of, lack of advance in those measures which build for better conditions schools, roads, rivers, sanitation, az riculture and the rest.
