midwinter coats and turning their
backs on cold weather to journey
South, and others are just stepping
into them bound for the joys of winter
sports in the frozen North. These are
the firm believers in the tonic of the

arctic weather. Then there are all
the rest of us who intend to keep
warm and aspire to look smart, what
ever icy blasts may blow our way. We
refuse to be shut in by the weather
and require Of midwinter coats

which you of the Home Department
carry to those who are not able to
come out to the Sunday schools is an
inspiration Of the Christian faith; a
message of love. You are heralds of
true education. You develop mortal
souls in such a way that those with
whom come in contact become wise
saints-wise Christians.
II believe that you Home Depart
ment workers sustain confidence, and
we can have no faith unless we have
confidence"

Miss Mary Jones and Miss Martha
Scott played responding with an en-
core after which the Rev. ]. S. Hill
spoke on the work Of the Home De-

to be put forth in bringing people into
the church. and saying that the Home
department is the right hand of the
