From a Church Calendar

The following appeared in a Pitts.
field, Mass, church calendar recently :
THE church is not a refrigerator for
preserving perishable piety. 1t is a
dynamo for charging human Wills.
The object Of the church is not to tell
how to dodge difficulties but to fur
nish strength and courage to meet and
master them. The business of the
church Is not to furnish hammocks for
the lazy. 1t is rather to offer we'll
fitting yokes for drawing life's loads.
The man who does not attend any
church virtually votes to do away with
all churches"

LIVE IN
DIRTY TOWN?
/ have In mind two towns.

l have In mind two towns.
Entering one, the railroad runs be-
tween two rows of dirty back yards,
filled with tin IN and rubbish.
Entering the other, 1t passes houses
neatly painted, back yards with flowers
In them, and streets swept clean.
These two towns had the same pop
ulation five years ago.
But recently two new factories
have moved to one of them; real es-
tate values have advanced; new houses
are being built; everybody is pros
porous and happy.
And the residents of the other town
cannot understand their dad luck"
This year 5000 cities and towns In
the United States will set aside one
week as a cleanup and paint-up week.
The greatest miracles of modern
times have been performed with bon
fires, drain-pipes, soap, and paint.
The Philippines have been made a
healthier place to live in than the
average American town.
Typhoid has been stamped out of
Serbia.
The Panama canal zone has been
transformed from a dismal, unhealthy
swamp to a wholesome place for
homes.
The French, with a force of 10000,
lost $4,000 lives in their effort to build
the canal; our deaths were 1000 out
Of an average force of $4,000.
| Our record there was nothing short
of miraculous-and a cleanup cam
paign did 1t.
Last year Cleveland, in it's Cleanup
and Paint-Up week, disposed of refuse
sufficient to fill a train three and one
half miles long.
Another middle western town gath
cred its boys together, and, by Offering
a reward for each 100 tin cans, abol-
ished its unsightly back yards in a
single day.
"Help us Clean Up Philadelphia"
was the slogan that banished the dirt
In that city.
Don't let your good cigar start a

A Cleanup and Paint-Up week

Mime. LAMBERT, TEACHER Of MUSIC
Piano, Organ, String Instruments.


Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways Of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift.
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination or any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be we'll tested before an opinion can be
