When You Are Chilled,

Chilled hands or feet should not be
put near the fire or in hot water, as
this causes the blood vessels to dilate
too rapidly and chilblains result. The
chilled members may be put in tepid
water and a little hot water added
from time to time, but the best plan
is to warm by exercise and by rub.

Last Sunday was Orphanage Sun
day. All of the churches in the Lou
isiana Annual Conference made offer
ings for this worthy cause. Our con-
gregations were up to their usual size,
with the best night congregation we
have had for months. At the morning
hour the girls choir rendered sweet
music. Mrs. T. p. Bells violin solo
was very pretty. Mizpah choir had
special music.

Though Mendall kept his promise to
Marie and went off to the plant. it was
not he who brought the first news of
its destruction to her.
While the morning was still hazily
gray. Marie's acute ears heard the
burr of an automobile as it turned
from the boulevard into the grove.
She was down the stairs and on the
perch before it drew up at the steps.
at the first glance she saw who drove,
and the certainty changed her from
a haggard woman to a softly smiling
girl. When MacAllister came to her,
her face was alight.
"Ah, it is you!" she said. with a vivid
note of joy. IT have been in terrible

SPARROWS' NESTS IN A SHIP
feeted by Noise, Birds Make
Home There.

A large tramp steamer had been
towed into a northeast coast port for
repairs. After having discharged her
cargo Of grain, she wa placed in a
dry dock. situated in the middle of a
large ship-repairing establishment,
with all the usual accompaniment of
noise from pneumatic hammers, steam
whistles, shouting of men, and other
noises common to all such works.
The grain. of which there is always
a good deal left about after the holds
are swept up, attracted the sparrows
in large numbers, and, as If guided by
instinct, they commenced to build
nests in various parts of the ship.
Undeterred by the noise or by the
constant going and coming Of the
workmen, they reared their brOods
before the repairs were completed,
and the vessel sailed. This is believed
to be a unique case, for although the
sparrow is a bold bird, it needed some
pluck to undertake home building in
such circumstances. The workmen ad.
mired the pluck of these boisterous,
cheeky birds, and watched the proceed
ings to the flight Of the young birds
with great interest.

punish the nations that have commit
ted the most terrible crimes known to
modern times. at least, by making the
people Of these nations work only that
they may pay.
Among the saddest sights to be
found in the battle areas of Europe
today is the lonely grave, the little
cross that stands by itself and marks
the spot where a soldier MET death by
a stray shell. There were many, many
thousands Of these seen along the
sides of the thousand miles of road
ways ! covered in Belgium and north
ern France. and in very many cases
they marked the spot where a German
shell had caught a transport driver as
he guided his truck to or from the
front. The boys who lie in these lone
ly graves were heroic American boys,
heroic French boys, heroic British
boys, and they have paid the great
price that the Boche might not de-
strOy the freedom of the world. They
gave their all, and whatever the BOche
may be made to pay will be small In
comparison with this sacrifice.
Near what was the city of Noyon
one may see a striking comparison be-
tween the methods OF the Boche and
those of the nations that have been
fighting the Germans. Here lie buried
side by side both French and German
soldiers. Around each cemetery the
French grave flies a French flag. and
on each German grave green boughs
have been placed by the French. Such
