suits. The entire community IN which
the churches are located Ia being I'm.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
DRIVE SUCCESS

The Sunday school attendance cam
paign Is making wonderful progress,
Last Sunday there was n gain of l,6lS
over the corresponding Sunday Of 1913,
the comparative figures being 4.GpS for
1918 and 8,3i4 for 1919, according 10
the completed records as given out by
DIR, 70. r. George, publicity director
for The campaign,
Or. walter NJ. white, campaign di-
rector, says that the indications are
that the records for July and August
viii show a gain OF 5000 over the at !.
tendance for the same period OF last
year. Only two more Sundays Of the
campaign remain, hut Il Is believed
that the final Sundays will be the best
Of the campaign.
Many OF the teachers and pupils are
nov returning from vacations which
will help materially in building up the
attendance at the finish. Pastors OF
the city are Of the opinion that the
Sunday school campaign has done more
to stimulate interest In Sunday school
work than any effort that has ever
been attempted before during the sum
mer months.

Justice and point in their appeal for
the protection of birds from cats, for
each insectivorous bird devours many

of SO many birds means an increase
of the insect population by untold mill

with the harmless. necessary cat is
not, however, summarily closed by
the statement of the commissioners.
If cats catch wild insectivorous birds
they also catch good many birds that
are not insectivorous, or but sparingly
so, says Boston Transcript Cats prey
heavily, and probably chiefly, so far
as birds are concerned. on the English
sparrow. which does more harm than
1t does good by driving away native
birds; and. incidentally, cats prey on
rats. mice and moles. thereby estab-

Father Martin, who had been reauing
the story of the three wise men VINO
brought their gifts to the infant Jesus,
said to himself:
IF only tomorrow were the first
Christmas day and the Savior were
coming to this world tonight how l
would serve and adore him! l know

He arose and took from shelf two
little shoes. ''Here is what | would
give him, my finest work. How
pleased his mother would be! But

smiling. ''Does the Savior need my
poor shop and my shoes"
But that night Father Martin had
a dream. He thought that the voice
of Jesus himself said to him: Martin,
you have wished to see me. Watch
the street tomorrow from morning I'M
til evening, for / shall pass your way.
When he awoke the next morning.
Father Martin, convinced that what
he had dreamed would surely take
place, fastened to put his shop IN
order. lighted his fire, drank his coffee
and then seated himself at the win
dow to watch the passersby.
The first person he saw was poor
street sweeper, who was trying to
warm himself, for it was bitter cold.
"Poor mani" said Martin to him.

He tapped on the window and called
