of the occasion is lost. The observ-
ance of the White Gifts service dur
ing the past two years has been a
great blessing to the church. 1t has
awakened the spirit Of generosity to-
ward the needy community and has
reacted in blessings upon the congre-
cation itself. Consequently we are
looking forward to the coming service
with more than ordinary interest, and
are inviting the whole community to
enjoy it with US. The most beautiful
decorations, the most appropriate mu-
sic, the most generous offering of
gifts, will delight and astonish all
those present. There is nothing in
Christian activities just like it, and
very few can equal its pleasure. The
offerings include self, service and sub
stance-life, time and property-all
given to the King. To denote purity
and loyalty every offerings is made in
white. The church is decorated in
white. If you have ever seen the
service we know we can count on
your presence. If you have not, the
most blessed thing you can do is to
come,

This Is the day when the farmer
has his innings. The time was when
he was dubbed the farmer" the
''m0ssback." and In tone that could
never have been called derisive. but
still there was In 1t tile infection that
he was occupying an inferior position.
The stiff upper lip that the farmer car
ried. warded of any approach that his
occupation was degrading one. His
hour arrived, though. and for some
years past he has been looked up to as
occupying Il high position.
Agriculture. by a natural trend Of
economic conditions. stands out today
In strong relief, as the leader in the
worlds pursuits. Never In the nations
history have the eyes Of the world
been SO universally focused on the
farm. The fnrmer II the man Of I'M
portance: the manufacturer Of Its most
necessary product. and he now enjoys
the dual satisfaction of reaping max
imum Of profit. as result Of his opera
lions. while he also becomes strong
factor In molding the worlds destinies.
Manufacturers. business men. pro-
fessional men and bankers realize the
Importance Of agriculture. md gladly
acknowledge It as the twin sister to
commerce. In commercial. financial
and political crisis. the tiller Of the
soil takes the most important place.
Maximum prices. the highest In many
decades. show the worlds recognition
Of the necessary requirement for more
farm stufis. The time was coming
when this would have been brought
about automatically. hut war time
conditions urged II forward. while the
farmer was able to secure land Mt rem
sonnhle prices. Throughout several Of
