Following the opening, and the in
PRODUCTION of visitors, Bishop John
son delivered a short address and
was followed by the report of Sec
rotary ]. w. Rankin, which was con-
sidered one OF the greatest reports
ever made to the Board by any sec
rotary. DR.. Rankin has made spec
ial study of the work of missions, for
he has not only had reports from the
fields, bat has visited the foreign
work, and devotes much of his time
in looking into the home work. He
is considered authority on mission
airy work for the race, and has gotten
out several books for the study OF
missions.
The foreign work of the church
embraces South and West Africa,
hayti, South America, and all the
West Indian Islands. While the
work in the islands of the sea were
holding their own, the secretary said
that the inability to rebuild st. Paul
Church at Port-au-Prince had been a
little drawback which he hoped
would be met in the near future
The collections for the fiscal year
ending March 81, 1918, amounted to
S56,3SS,96, and for the work the ex
penditures had been S52,822. sc, leav
ing a balance of $3,566.3O
Bishop w. w. Beckett made q
special appeal for the work in South
Africa, while Bishop l. N. Ross told
! of the special needs of Africa. The
day that he was to open conference
was the day that the German subma
rine shelled the capital, Monrovia
and on that account there had beer
considerable suffering in West
Africa. Special efforts will be made
throughout the church to help the
work.
Resolutions were adopted com
mending the efficient services of DR.
Rankin.

Short cut to poverty
OF thee | chant.

On you two years ago,
And now you quite refuse to go,
Or won't or can't.
Through town and countryside,
You were my Joy and pride;
A happy day.
I loved thy gaudy hue,
Thy nice white ties so new,
But now you're down and out for
In every way.
To thee, old rattlebox,
Came many bumps and knocks;
For thee [ grieve.
Badly thy top is torn,
Prayed are thy seats and worn;
The whooping cough affects my
horn,
[ do believe.
Thy perfume swells the breeze,
And good folks choke and wheeze,
While we pass by.
I paid for thee price
'Twould buy a mansion twice,
Now everybody's yelling "ice''-

Thy motor has the grip,
Thy spark plugs have the pip,
And woe is thine.
[, too, have suffered chills,
Ague and kindred ills,
Endeavoring to pay my bills,
Since thou vert mine.

So help me John-amen,
I'd buy myself car again,
And speed some more.

A Simple Trick.

Colds may beprevented by know
ing how to blow your nose, accord
ing to Mrs. Lena A. Warner, of the
Division of Extension, of the Uni
versity of Tennessee.
Mrs. Warner has been studying
the question of health for a num-
Der of years and traces most of the
colds that hinder school children
in their work to a lack of this fun
damental knowledge.
"The first thing a boy or girl
ought to do upon getting up in the
morning" says Mrs. Warner, sis
to blow his nose. Then just before
the school bell rings do this again.
While the child is young he forms
the habit that he will not forget
later in life.
"To blow the nose properly, the
handkerchief should be held loose
ly in the palm and two forefingers
of the hand. One should lean for
ward slightly. Bury the nose in
the handkerchief, but do not touch
the nose with the thumb or fingers.
Draw in the breath, then blow.
wipe the nose, then blow again
Should one side of the nose not
feel clear, press the thumb against
the clear side and blow. Repeat
until each defeelsclear and clean. F"
In schools where health nurses
are engaged it has been shown
that following these simple sugges-
tions decreases the number of colds
among the children.
