What We Are Here For.

We are not put here just to enjoy
ourselves and do only what pleases us.
God wants us to forget our own selves ;
that is, not to think first and foremost
of ourselves, but to be busy thinking
what we can do for others, to help
them. or to make them happy. And the
Bible tells us, you know, that Christ
pleased not himself" He never thought
what would make him happiest or most
comfortable. but what he could do foS
someone else.--Kate 8. Gates.

Our Inspector usually comes in
October but this year she arrived the
first corps day in November. A very
pleasant time was enjoyed with her
and a bountiful dinner was served
at noon, also a lunch after corps.
Only three soldiers were present at
the dinner One plain spoken sister
said they were down town loafing
in the rain, she knew. Last Tuesday
the Relief Corps celebrated several
comrades birthdays and perhaps the
big dinners were too close together
for comfort.
While the table was being cleared
and the dishes put away, sister Clark
took the Inspector and few others
for a ride in her Ford, around the
farms north of Lynden.
Our Corps received special praise
from the officer for our harmony.
Indeed, we are jolly crowd without
any Jars"
After the big dinner Tuesday the
Relief Corps helped the Red Cross
with the sewing and knitting.
