 Most important of all, the commit tee on the Judiciary, in both national senate and house of representatives, has given a. large majority in favor of the bill to submit to the states an amendment of the federal constitution prohibiting the beverage liquor traf1Hc:
 IL seems likely that this bill will get the necessary two-thirds vote by both branches of the next congress. before long and to be ratihed by the necessary three-Quarters of the states, thus giving us national non partisan prohibition.
 There are some who object to this. method of procedure but more and more right minded people are coming to see that is the best way. The liquor trafflc is an interstate and na- tional matter and must be dealt with accordingly.
 we do not want to have prohibition forced on us by the other states and when the time comes we shall bend all our energies to get the state to ratify the national amendment In the meantime we are doing what we can to get into line.
 In the last general assembly we worked for a bill to submit to the people of the state the question of state prisingiy large-s5 to ss. We are now working for the same measure and hope to get the necessary majority of the house of representatives.
 Bus on this plan we could not be rid of the saloons before 1920. In the meantime we want a law to limit the number of saloons to not more than one for each thousand of the- people in wet towns Also we are working for a law to give women a vote on the license question, just as noy they may vote on library and school questions.
 A saloonless nation by 1920 is en- tireiy possib1e-before long, it is cer- tain. Let us thank God and take courage and let us get into the fight before it shall be too late to have had a part in this greatest struggle and victory of the age.

Rev. Joseph F. Cobb, pastor of the Church of The Good Shepherd, was at the Sheftering Arms for the Sun day afternoon service. He read Hen ry Van Dykes story, A Handful of Clay. Lessons were drawn from it. Imp erfect as is this mortal body, it holds the soul and 1t may hold a beautiful soul even as the clay flower pot finally held a beautiful lily. An other lesson is that of service. We may not shine but we may do much for others What services can we rem der? By being patient life will be made easier for others. That is some times a hard thing to do. We can think kindly of one another and in what is said and done we can be kinS If we can look on the bright side our lives will be more beautiful and we shall be rendering a real service to those about us. When one has a hard task, the sympathetic interest of oth- CTS is helpful If we watch for chances of doing little acts of love they may be acts of great service. These are fitting words for a text, Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?
 The singing of familiar hymns by girls choir from the First Congrega- tiona1 church gave great pleasure. Those taking part were Miss Ruth L.. Potter who was also at the piano, Miss Bern1ce Underwood, Miss Esther Heath and Miss Elizabeth Luther.
