The order that chocolate and

wall that parliament decided to
change the order The order had
been given because Of the far that
poisoned sweets from suspicious and
concealed quarters might reach the
soldiers. Enough evidence had
come to the ears Of the authorities
to warrant this action. It was this
same fear that resulted in the pub

tions being abandoned. The oppor-

cigars or cigarets offered toe strong
a temptation to evil minds.
The discovery Of poisoned tobac-

partner, that of the group of intimates
or companions exerts the most power
full influence on character. This group
may be composed of the home circle
and such other companions as one con-
fides in freely and constantly. 1t Is
this small group that Paul had in mind
when he wrote in his first letter to the
Corinthians, BE not deceived evil
companionships corrupt good morals
There is. however, positive, as well
as negative, side of this proposition.
Evil companionships corrupt good
morals, but good and noble and right
eous companionshipS do purify and en-
noble and strengthen character. There
are some people in whose presence you
would never think of doing or saying
a mean or a wrong thing. There are
ing lifted to higher plane of life, and
groups of people who inspire you with
enthusiasm for the fulfillment OF your
highest ideals.
The influence upon character exert
ed by the larger groups, the large cir
Gle of acquaintance and social, polttt-
cal and religious organizations-this Is
an influence of less Importance than
those of the individual and the smaller
group of intimates only. 1t is an infiu-
ence, however, that may supersede all
others and control or change the whole
character. An example of this is seen
in the mob spirit, which sometimes
moves a crowd of people to do a thing
doing when alone, and who are not
even acquainted with each other. The
fickleness of such a mob is shown
in the account cited in the Acts. of the
mob stoning Paul as a blasphemer after
accepting him as one Of the gods on
the previous day.
Counteracting the evil influences Of
such associations, however, are tho
great religious and fraternal organiza-
tons which exert such a powerful in
fluence upon millions Of individual
lives, as well as upon the life OF the

Preparedness" is the watchword at
the Central Union Mission, and now
preparations are being made at the big
building on Louisiana avenue for the
onrush of the winter season. This is
particularly true in regard to the dor
mitories, of which there are two, and
these huge rooms are being refurnished
in way that will make them most
comfortable during the coming cold
weather.
Guided by it's past experience|during
severe spells of cold weather. the mis-
sion is making arrangements to care
for up to 400 men at night The facili-
ties for doing this work consist of the
two dormitories, the converts dormi-
tory and the separate rooms at the
mission; besides which. in cases of
emergency, is the chapel on the ground
floor The two dormitories on the fifth
and sixth floors are fitted up with COM
Portable single beds and individual
lockers for clothes. Thanks to the
Woman's Cooperative Society of the
Mission, it is declared, all of the old
mattresses that have been in use some
years have been discarded. and an en-
ttrely new set has been provided. Not
only this but the pillows have all been
renovated. new pillow slips and cases
provided and new sheets. In no case

Though antf-American feeling ran
high in some parts Of Mexico during
the recent crisis with the United
States, it Is significant that not a mis-
sionary in Mexico. so far as reported.
was treated otherwise than courteously.
Many of them left the country, to be
sure, 1t is declared, but always re-
luctantly and under pressure from their
boards or from American officials
fearful for their safety. The mission
aries themselves were unafraid, being
confident of the friendship of the Mex
leans A number of letters have
lust been received form Presbyterian
missionaries, throwing interesting
light on the situation. From Yucatan
comes the following:
I'VE have been passing through some
very strenuous days, due to the anti
American feeling that ran h1gh ana
looked quite threatening-so much so
that nearly all the Americans left. The
American consul insisted on our go
ing, but we could not abandon the
work at time when there was never
a more obvious need for the gospel IN
precept and example.
The people believed that interven-
ton was inevitable. There was call
for volunteers for national DEFENSE,
the result being that many of our own
people joined the army, among them
two of our ruling elders. Fortunately
the propaganda has not taken the form
of personal attack on resident Ameri-
cans, and not one word was said to me
that could be taken as a personal Of
Tense"

whether he had the price of a bed or
not provided there was not some flag
rant reason for not dispensing this
charity, such as boisterous intoxication
or the like. Every night during the
year the men who have beds in these
dormitories are fed after the evening
meeting at 7:45 o'clock, hot stew and
plenty of bread being provided for
them. This stew line Is kept up during
the summer as we'll as the winter, and
even during the warmest weather there
are many who avail themselves of this
privilege. In the morning, from to
o'clock, bread and coffee line Is
also maintained during the entire year.
There are also cheap rooms at the
mission, where a man, after having be-
come in a measure rehabilitated, Sc
cures modest employment and wants a
place to himself, can have it within the
small wages with which he must neces-
sarily start life again. Numerous In

declared, can be cited.
