Over in the neighbours yard Bluev
Blackbird walked up and down in his
most dignified fashion. He didn't
care much for staying in the garden.
he preferred his own company every
time. And, anyway, he knew a very
nice place to get worms under some
umbled over grape vines in the back
of the neighbours yard. So he walked
up and down, up and down, and
creature he was.
From a branch in the old pine tree
Chirpy Sparrow spied him. There's
that black bird person. said Chirpy
to himself, land 1 must say he's be-
haved very well this year. He hasn't
taken any of our nice fat worms as
he did last year. Poor fellow, He
must be hungry half the time. 1 guess
I'll go down and talk to him. So
down he flew.
Now, Bluey Blackbird was just get
ting ready to get some worms from
that private grapevine place of his,
and of course he didn't want Chirpy
to find out about it. So he pretended
he had nothing at all to do and was
very glad to talk to Chirpy.
How do you do?" said Chirpy, and
he determined to be very pleasant to
that poor hungry blackbird.
Very well. I thank you" replied
Bluey Blackbird, and he determined
that Chirpy should never find where
he got his worms.
81 thought I'd come over and talk
to you, you're such handsome big
fellow, said Chirpy.
Kind of you. dear friend" said
Bluey, and his eyes twinkled, for
above all things Except worms) he
liked compliments.
81 wish was big like you are" said
Chirpy and he looked admiringly at
Bluey.
Then huff yourself out and walk
as I do, replied Bluey. and he huffed
himself out big and fat and strutted
down the yard.
Now Chirpy couldn't huff himself

A NATIONS VOICE.

No more convincing demonstration
of the vitality of religion in the
! United States could be found than the
result of the appeals of the Federal
| Council of the Churches of Christ in
America for systematic and continuous
giving to the war relief funds in this
country, according to a bulletin just
issued by the organization named. In
every community, whether church
of one of the thirty denominations
which constitute the federal council
exists there or not, both secular and
UNCONVENTIONAL committees for war
relief are being formed.

100000 ministers, did not stor with

cants under their charge, but seemed
automatically to create a new atmos-
phere in the nation. In response to
The request of many of the repre-
sentatives of the war relief organiza-
tions which have benefited by this
new spirit of unselfishness and self
sacrifice a second appeal was sent out
this month, but not to the churches
alone
The second appeal was through the
clergy to the entire people, but it also
went direct to chambers OF commerce,
business mems associations, women's
clubs and similar bodies, and TO the
mayors of cities and governors of
states. Many public men, IF all politi-
! cal affiliations, have signified their APP
proval of this movement. The nation
has found voice in this largest inclu-
sive body of its kind in the world
No new war relief fund has been
added to the existing organizations
The federal council acts only as a
channel or clearing house, except in
special cases. But many checks for
distribution to the various existing
funds have come to it direct. Some of
the contributions are in cash. st send

wrote that their entire monthly in

tary of the federal council, sis but
a drop in the bucket compared to the
awful widespread misery in Europe
