the Seventh day Adventists camp in
the city park gathered to hear Bishop
Charles Thompson, of Minneapolis,

ing service at o'clock.
The meeting at II O'Clock this morn
ing was in charge of s. A. Ruskjer, of

tary of the Northwestern Union Con-
ference. The program was given in the
form OF a symposium. one of the chief

given to the fact that Seventh day
Adventists work to have every church
member take part in the laymen's mis-
sionary movement.
Review Of Activities.
According to late statement in the
Missionary Review of the World" the
Adventist denomination stands at the
head of the list of churches taking
their place in this movement. During
the past year 1900 converts have been
added to the faith thru the work of
laymen. In connection with this work
literature was circulated in 1913 coun-
ties in ninety-eisht languages. while
127 languages were used in the oral
work Special emphasis was given TO
the harvest ingathering campaign.
which is carried on under the direction
of the home missionary department.
In this work the laymen gave their
friends an opportunity to contribute
to foreign missionary work. AS a re-
suit of this compaign 100000 was col
lected in North America last year. and
the goal for the coming year is $780,
900. The church members are also
trained TO be medical missionaries,
and were able 10 render valuable as
sistance toItheir neighbors during the
influenza epidemic.

clared that there are enough automo-
bilcs in the state of Iowa so that all
Of the inhabitants can be loaded into
these means of conveyance and taken
out in one trip. Mr.. Thompson said,
"You can get on train in the day
time or at night and not be able to
obtain seat. One will ask the ques-
Al
from. and where do they all go?'
In showing the increase in knowl-
edge, he mentioned few of the Won
ders Of the tweDtieth century. showing
that these modern conveniences have
been in existence anly short time.
The speaker gave one instance where

ST. MARY'S BAZAAR BIG Sue
CESS
Melted $500 For Parish Reserve
Fund

The big bazaar recently held by
st. Mary's parish in st. Mary's hall
broke all records for attendance, for
enjoyable evenings and financially.
Every night the hall was crowded to
the doors and purse strings were
loosened by those in attendance. The
gross receipts are reported to have
been $1,000 with a net total Of So
700.
The parish being free from debt
this money will go into reserve fund
that eventually will probably be nsed
for erecting new parochial school
buildings, a need of which is antici-
pated by the increasing number of
pupils. This plan has been under
consideration by Rev. Charles F. Be-
dard for some time, as he is always
planning to add to the needs Of the
parish and enhance the usefulness
and value of parish property.

A Harsh Sentence

A judge in Thompson, Conn, the
other day fined man $50, and SEN
fenced him to three months imprison-
ment for stealing hive Of bees.
The man who swiped the hive OF
bees might have got away with it per-
haps, if, while he was Juggling off the
hive in the dark, his foot hadn't slip
ped. Yes, he stubbed his toe and fell.
This woke up the bees, who began to
ooze from the hive and sting the poor,
guilty wretch between where he stole
the bees and his home, also on the
face and hands. By the next day the
swelling hadn't gone down, and this
led to his arrest and conviction.
1t seems to me this is rather a
harsh sentence to visit upon man
who has the courage to steal hive
of bees. Far be it from me to en-
courage theft, and yet | think justice
should be tempered with mercy in the
case of guy who possesses the un-
daunted courage to swipe hive con
tanning a half bushel Of bees with
sharp, poignant singers. Course !
don't maintain that he should have a.
hero medal pinned on his chest. you
understand, but think he should
have at least been cited for bravery
before being convicted.
Personally like honey just as well
as anybody; but my mouth would
have to water for it very copionsly
before l would go forth bare-handed
at night and swipe hive Of quick
tempered bees. A sugar shortage
might drive me to desperation, but it
would never drive me to that. II
were thief (which | wish it distinct
ly understood am not), and my fam
lily were suffering from the cold, !
