LEAGUE TO OBSERVE
WEEK OF PRAYER.

Holy week, beginning Monday,
March 25, is to be observed by the
Epworth League throughout chris
tendon as prayer week, and the
Dresden league will pray for the sue
cess and the safe return of the boys
in kakhi, both in France and at home
in the training camps. Service will
be held each morning for As minutes,
beginning at o'clock, and parties
who wish to attend, but cannot give
As minutes time are invited to come,
stay as long as they feel like and
leave when they are ready. The ser
vices will be held at the Methodist
church, and leaguers will conduct
the services.
The local league is making rapid
strides, and Pastor Smith thought
enough of the work these young peo-
pie are doing here to refer to it
most complimentary IN the opening
remarks of his morning discourse
last Sunday. When Rev. Smith
came to Dresden this people were
informed that he was a man who
does things, which means he is a
worker. This has been exemplified.
He is putting forth his very best eff
forts and success will crown them,
as it always does. A deeply pious
man, he is a firm believer in prayer,
and will assist the Epworth League
in it's prayer service of one weeks
duration, beginning Monday, March

THE SANTA Re MUSEUM.
THE city OF santa Fe. capital Of New
1 Mexico. is perhaps the smallest city
in the United States that boasts a mu-
scum which attracts tourists and
scientists from al parts OF the world.
As everyone Knows. Santa Fe is a
city rich in historical associations. It
Is one Of the two or three oldest cities
in the United States. It was the ter
minus OF the famous santa Fe trail
which carried a heavy commerce half
way across a continent in wagons
when New Mexico was a part OF Old
Mexico. It was the storm center Of
the struggle between the Spaniar5s
and the Pueblo indians, and was cap
tured and sacked by the natives in
the nth century.
Santa Fe differs most radically
from other small towns with great
histories in that Its Inhabitants have
values OF their environment. Al
though long a frontier town, santa Fe
has also long had a flavor OF the Gull
ture Of old Spain about e. and thFaa

many men and women In Santa Fa
who are appreciative students OF the
old towns past. They have founded
historical society. and this has
charge OF the famous museum. which
contains so many priceless historical
relies and archaeological specimens.
Within the past few months the mu-
scum has been installed in a new
building, which is strikingly designed
