Dear Editor Bystander:

in. the readers of your journal, there

last trip, beginning with Mt. Zion RaP-

there on Easter morning. They had not
received my notice, but as the pastor,
Rev l.. G. Garrett, is always alert, it
was not a task to get ,,an opening.

were not many present, but those pres

how well pleased they were with the
message by their contribution. This is

there seems to be a spirit Of giving

as the larger ones. The collection for
the Western Convention was $7.O5.

This church has been struggling for a
number of years The spirit of work
had died and the church was simply
standing. Some of the members had
become discouraged and left the church,
but since Rev. Fl. B. Hawkins OF Chr
caao had been called as pastor the
church has taken on new life and IS
now in working condition. The pastor
was called on the 18th of January, this
year, and things are looking promising
for spiritual as well as financial
awakening. The pastor has the church
divided into ten groups with CAPTAINS
at the head Of each. They are endeav-
soring to raise 81 $50 on the 4th Sunday

PASSING or USELESS PARKS
British Government Has Done Wei; in
Converting Vast Tracts into Areas
u~ of. Cultivation.

Since William the ConQueror first
laid waste to a smiling countryside TO
make Il deer park, and forbade COM
mon men to hunt in that great tract
he called his New Forest" millions Of
| acres of fertile English land have
served no purpose useful to the race.
| The mobiles of medieval times, and their
children's children after them, loved
above all things the chase, and they
paid scant heed to those beneath them
| who sought to draw their living from
the soil. If there We're room for deer.
and foxes. and hares, and moor and
| marshlaad Il eE..faleons to soar above.
or gentlemen TO shoot over. they did
not care.
| England was prosperous and secure.
Many years ago her governments def
nitely abandoned the idea of making
the land self-supporting. The seas were
safe to British commerce, and none be-
lieved the time would come when the
nation's needs would compel the use
OF pleasure parklands. The country
grew old gracefully, and enjoyed it.
1t was not decadent, only too we'll COM
tent.
All this the war has changed. and
for the better. Britannia still rules
the waves, but beneath the waves lie
unseen terrors, menacing the nations
commerce, its food supply, its very
life. The nation cannot trust its sea-
borne trade now. It must utilize every
possible means to provide the neces-
sary sustenance for Its armies, and for
those who supply the, fighting men.
And the British government rises to
the occasion.
Before the war Lloyd George fought
long and well to compel the breaking
up Of old estates. to make possible the
cultivation OF land long idle, to give
the labOrer a. chance at the soil. He
failed, for the British are conservative
by instinct, and the old way seemed
easiest. They have learned their les
son now.
In three years past the British gov.
eminent has taken over outright no
less than 100000 acres Of British soil,
purchasing some. renting more. 1t has,
indeed, found necessary the establish
ment Of great department to handle
this work Of national regeneration. It
is great change, and one that should
not be regretted. The English which
makes peace will not be the England Of
its fathers, but better one. less at

have suffered as much in this century
as the lares and penates may be poor
Latin, but Is sound truth, observes the
Louisville Courier-Journal. The times
and manners are distinctly different.
and in one especial particular of So
cial intercourse is there powerful
variance.
For instance, in Victorian times. 1t
took the hero and heroine about twen-
ty chapters to get acquainted. BY that
time he was calling her Miss Dora.
instead Of Miss Spenlow," and he
gulped every time he said it. when
his love and passion had boiled and
dubbed until he was a wretched hu.
man caldron, and he had to repress
moan every time he saw her little hand
on the arm of a Dragon. 1t took him
eight pages to ask her falteringly II he
might call her Dora" She consented,
and proposal and marriage were the
natural sequence. To call her Dora
and not marry her was equivalent to
breach of promise In the Victorian era.
And nobody but the hero and the mem
bers of her family ever called her
Dora, except perhaps her girl friends
But in these times what difference!
All the young folks call one another
Jack and Jill, and it is curious and
anachronistic youth who finds it hard
to do so. In fact. he becomes sort or
gentle joke in his set and the girls
think him rather slow. After he has
met the lady two Or three times he
learns to consider it superogatory to
call upon her in the name of her fa-
Their. She is Gloria or Penelope in sua
persona, and Miss Wilmerding or Miss
Schulz to her seems pOky. 1t is the
same with the young married ones.
You hear about them for while from
mutual friends. and then you meet
them. You make bow and say:
"How do you 90. Mrs. kawsup." She
does not resent it the first time. But
the fourth time you meet her Mrs.
kawsup remarks: sit sounds SO silly
for you to call me that. Why don't
you say Lucretia and I'll call you Aga
memnon?" And it's done.
1t is pretty hard on the novelist
Messrs. Dickens and Thackeray used to
fill a couple of hundred excellent pages
with working up the hero to the Dora
and Clara point,~an in the mild VEN
lures Of Anthony Trollope into the
eternal triangle--his villains were per-
feet gentlemen and always wore stiH
white Shirts-he consumed much space
whereiA the Tertium Quid was negoti-
ating 10 call the restless married lady
by her first name. The reading public
is too wise for that now. and the long
winded authors lie unread on the
shelves Of the library. One must start
the book brisSly; on page l the hero
inc is Dora TO the hero, and on page 10
the homc-wrccker is squeezing the mar
ried lady's hand and calling her Esther
aida.

BILLIONS FROM THE NlckELs
Ever Stop to Think of. Vast Sums That
Can Be Saved From Small
Amounts?

If every person in the United States
saved a nickel in one day it would
mean that at night the people would
be just five million dollars richer. And
then suppose the people kept this up
for one month? 1t would mean that
at the end of thirty days they would
have saved one hundred and fifty mil.
lion dollars.
Why not keep it up for the rest Of
1919? What would be the result? One
billion five hundred million dollars.
Sounds like 2 lot of work for one little
nickel to do, doesn't it, yet there are
scores of industries in the United
States which are paying big dividends
on the little nickels gathered day by
day.
This immense sum if invested in
War Savings Stamps would earn for
the savers approximately sixty-fOur
million dollars in 1920-the work of
'od man interest" who never takes
a day off and who is continuously on

an announcement, the war department

All the implements of war used il
Europe by the Allied armies will be

been expended in the prosecution OF
the war
Trophies captured from the German

view.
All branches of the military service
will participate in the parade. Aside
from its part in the loan campaign the
demonstration is expected to have a
good effect upon recruiting, especially
for the volunteer overseas replacement
force now being raised.
1t is possible that after the New
York affair the army will organize
similar parades in various sections of
the country, but plans for these have
not yet been completed.
