Our citizens will learn with
surprise and considerable regret
that Rev. j. NJ. White, who has
been rector Of St. PauI's church
here for the past six years, will
leave here about February 1st to
take charge of the church at
Bisbee. The Bishop has frequent
ly during the past two years
wanted Mr.. White to take some
larger church, but he liked the
climate and people of Wipslow so
we'll he preferred remaining
here, but the pressure of the
work in the diocese has at last
convinced Mr.. White that he
should take up a larger work.

regard to church affiliation will
all regret to lose this popular
minister, always pleasant and
agreeable, polished and educated
who is a man among men.

Mrs. Jesse M. Smith. Many of
the newly weds and also many

Dear Mother:
At last l received your let

stop feeling bad and having
the blues. Of course there
are times when the blues are
with a person for awhile but
they should not be constantly
with you if you pray to God,
have faith, and use your will
power. There is but one life
that is indeed sad and that
life is one in which there is
no faith in God. | can truth
fully say that | never saw
the day when | was indeed
sad unless | had by own acts
lacked in my duty to God as
| comprehended it. Of course
| don't know what it is to
have no faith in Jesus Christ
and the hereafter for | have
been blessed from my mere
childhood with that more
than faith that seemed to be
a knowledge of God. This
blessing and testimony was
born into me and by the
prayer you taught me at
your knee, when | was but a
mere tot, began the educa-
tion Of that faith.
Now, mother, you must
seek faith in God and His
wisdom, remember that if
you do as l shall never leave
your house so long as | live
worthy to be your son. If |
should be called to sacrifice
my life today in the cause of
my country and religion |
would not be sorry. Leave
you and my wife and all?
No, not leave you but only
go before you yes to await
your coming. There is no
end, mother, there is no
death but only a transforma-
tion from mortality to i'm
mortality. AS | see it there
is no sorrow in the death Of
one VINO has gained his right
of "Added Upon" Of course
there is always a sadness
in parting for a half a cen
tury or more, with no COM
munication whatever. But
that sadness is only a sad
dness of separation and not
of destruction for there is
no death in the absolute.
Now, mother, you don't need
to worry about we boys.
There is no power that could
kill me nor Erred as long as
live good clean lives with
out tits by Gods will and if
God so wills | am ever ready
to add my life to the list of

ledge to do so.

SHEEP RAISING is PATRIOTIC
Wool From Twenty Animals Necessary

prepared by the United States Depart

War has given the sheep and wool
industry a stupendous task. There
must be 20 sheep back of every soldier
to clothe and equip him. This need
has made sheep raising patriotic as
well as profitable undertaking. Sheep
require little bread grain, and as both
wool and mutton are in strong de-
mand, the development Of the industry
will contribute materially to the ma

For the present season wool has
about trebled in price and the price
of lambs has about doubled. The
gross annual returns from ewes of
breeding age may be expected to range
from So to S15 head, depending upon
the percentage of lambs raised, the
weight of the fleeces and the values
for these products. The lamb and
wool yield depend largely upon the
breed selected. So the choice of a
breed is a very important matter.
There are II breeds of improved sheep
which are we'll established in the Unit

gaining in popularity. These breeds
differ widely in their special points of
