Farm and home work loses druid
gerry and becomes an interesting
game for boys and girls as result
Of the club work organized by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture and the State colleges. These
clubs set standards of achievement
in home activities and dignity com
mon labor. Boys and girls, both
rural and urban, in the clubs have
their point of view changed SO they
want to make further preparation
and study in the business of farming
and home making.
Club work. socializes community
life through the boys and girls and
gives young people real motive in
all their work. They are trained
through it for community leadership
and cooperative work of every kind
and are taught that it is infinitely
better to be proprietor of farm
land. farm animals, machinery, crops
or kitchen equipment than to be a
mere wage-earner. The State and
National Governments in 1918 en-
ployed 985 club leaders to superin-
tend the boys and girls club work
in the counties and States, while
several hundred more were employ
ed during the summer. Certified
reports were turned in last year by
744,703 boys and girls in the clubs.

OSTEND SUFFERED tt MUCH DAMAGE FROM
 THE RECENT STRIFE

OSTEND, Belgium, July 19.-Aftei nearly five years of war, Ostend is resuming ordinary life as far as possible under present conditions with the re-opening of the famous casino. A few months ago the great salons of the casino were a scene of devastation and wanton destruc tion. The buildings escaped the bombardment that transformed so many of the beautiful hotels and vii las along the Digue into heaps of rub bish, and the use of tons of glass has repaired all the damage thus oc casioned, but the Germans had plum dered and defled the salons.
 Every stick of furniture was taker away, beautiful tapestries were slashed and torn by German bayon- cts and every mirror in the halls was removed, together with the cop per candlabra in the salons and the beautiful copper staircase. Not con- tent with robbery the Germans lief, the whole place in a state that would have shamed any animal inhabiting a stable. But since then a miracle has been wrought and but for the fact that some of the more valuable fittings are at present only temporar fly replaced by imitation, threre is no evidence of the war so far as the casino is concerned

SHAKESPEARE AND HIS GHOSTS WILL BE
 SUBJECT NEXT TALK
L. w. Rogers Will Discuss tht Tragedies of Hamlet, Macbeth and Others at His Next
 Lecture

Speaking last night in A. B. Hall on "The Science of the Soul" l.. w. Rogers took issue with the scientific materialists and argued that it is just as easy to show that eternal consciousness exists as to begin with the hypothesis of eternal mat ter. He declared that the theory of the immanence of God is a scientific conception, and he compared the soul in it's inception to drop of rain water that comes from the sea, loses all it's resemblance to the sea- but is still of the very nature of the sea, to which it will ultimately return. To most peoples, he said, it might seem strange to couple the word science with the word soul but that the scientific men had discovered facts enough to warrant such asso- station.

Friends: Lit is not sadness to

year and greet the New. Neither
was it an elemeut of sadness with
the apostle when he said, "The

The shifting of scenes at the end Of
an act does not denote the end of
the play but the development Of
the plot. We stand now at the
shifting Of scenes and will enter in
to q larger day with the New Year.
We are ever in a life of shifting
scenes, Spring, summer, fall and
winter each has its anticipations
and its joys, so roll on wheel Of the
ages; though institutions fall, en-
pires depopulate and worlds be de-
stroyed. Still roll on Time. Let all
crowns melt and the Christ our
King get his dominions. Let all
armies be routed and from the ruins
Christ shall marshal his banners

A PURIM MESSAGE.

The story of Esther has a deep
message for our day, especially for
the women of today. When the fate
of Israel was in the balance, when
the right to destroy, to kill and to
exterminate all the Jews had been
granted the citizens of ancient Per-
STA, and Israel seemed to be in a
hopeless condition, woman trained
in early life to be a devoted daugh-
ter of Israel, came forth as the
Savior of her people. Esther, the
young queen, was ready to violate
the laws of the courts, she was ready
to give up all honor, all luxury, all
personal glory and qualification in
behalf of her people, eff I perish
| perish,' but in the service of my
people.
The devotion, the valor and 10y
atty of Esther are characteristic of
all women in our history. Our his
tory is replete with incidents telling
the great deeds of Hannahs, the
Jochebeds, the Miriams, the De-
borahs and all other equally famous
heroines. The women of Israel al
ways represented the finest type Of
