world to get. somewhere, it is equally
necessary in the religious world
Every organized christian associa-
ton is the sphere of a spiritual cul-
ture ambiguous to that which is
going on in the realm of nature--in
the gardens, the vineyards, and the
cornfields.
"The purpose, scope and need of a
district Sunday school association
consists in this-information inspfra-
ton and realization. The object les
son of the hour of the first christian
convention, the convention held in
the upper room in Jerusalem, is the
inspiration of christian work for all
the ages Note the picture presented
in that assembly-men crowned with
the flames OF heaven-the world in
miniature before them-men speaking
fuently the language of all nations
men by thousands at the feet Of Jesus
this is the significance of the I'M
folding Of the work melted out to
every christian worker.

field is one of the big tasks"
System In St Paul.
Professor Locker told of the system
of registration used in his church in
st. Paul, the parish of the church oc-
cupied some two square miles OF ter
ritory. Each year committee of lay
men would make a canvass of that
territory and give to every inhabitant
a card to sign telling which church he
belonged to, which he preferred, or
whether he preferred any or not.
After these were collected, the
cards Of those who were already in
the church were laid to one side and
the cards of those who preferred q
certain church We're given to that
church Personal work was then re
sorted to to get these latter families
into the church. If no church was
preferred, every church in the district
would go after the signers until they
were lined up with some congregation.
All the churches Of the district work
in harmony. There is plenty OF work
for all and no chance for denomina-
tional feuds. The work is done once
a year and takes but an afternoon II
properly organized.
The speaker said that this church
canvass would be good thing for
Keokuk to try, not only because it
yielded results in Strengthening
church, but it gave all the members
some task to do, instead OF leaving
the work of salvation of the COM
munity to the minister alone.
AS a second point in his address
Professor Locker said a church need
ed a good organization, so that the
new converts received could be held
He said that a good pastor, officers,
teachers and Sunday school superin-
tendent were needed. Sometimes"
he said, you elect certain man for
because you think If
you give him an office he will become
in Sunday school work.
This is a very poor plan. You need
the best man in the church for your
and you need wide
awake business man as Sunday school
secretary. not some boy or girl who
will humble over the record on Sun
day"
Professor Locker also advocated
the reading of the absentees in the
secretarys record. A third point talk

A Smooth, Hairless
Skin for Every Woman
(The Modern Beauty

With the aid of a plain delatone
paste it is an easy matter to rid the
skin of unsightly hairy growths. The
paste is made by mixing some water
with powdered delatone. This is ap-
piled to the hairs not wanted and af
ter or 8 minutes rubbed off and the
skin washed, when every trace of hair
will have vanished. When you go to
your druggist for delatone, be sure
you get the genuine article.

same work being tried in this district.

he said.

ever, l do not believe that he would
approve Of all of this preaching.
Church people are these days depend
iEr on the preacher to preach folks

around and watch him do it. believe
there is a more effective way Of win

at them. That way is through per-
