I'VE are responsible. We spent bill

can give millions for the spiritual re-
construction of the two nations which
have done so much for world demo-
cracy. This is one of the tasks of
Christendom. Today we have the op-

DR.. Saillens voiced the same senti-
ment in his communication that is
heralded in the Methodist Missionary
Centenary campaign which is waging
throughout the United States and
which will close in May with q great
financial drive for $120,000,00O with
which to carry on this spiritual re-
construction as well as physical re.
construction.
Elaborate plans for this work on a
large scale are part of the Centenary
program. One of the greatest prob.
lens now facing France and other
stricken countries Is the question of
how thousands Of war widows are to
achieve self-support and earn main
tenance for their families
The Methodist church already has
started on this relief work. A dSega-
ton Of church officials, of which Bishop
Theodore E. Henderson, head of the
Detroit Area Of the church, Is one, is
in Europe at the present time making
survey of the ground and recon-
mending immediate relief. Three gen.
eral workshops have been established
where women and girls may obtain
employment. An initial investment OF
$4,000 has been made in these pro-
jects and others will be started with

life test This is what builds charac-

OF the mice became greater than ever,
for Judge Owls big eyes we're no
longer blinded and he could fly straight
and strong.

owl can catch us in the dark" And
Gnawer scooted the fastest of them all.
He swished down Peggy's arm, leaped
to the floor, and hid himself in the
from the fireplace where he had gone.
He is in the megaphone," she

swoop the judge darted into the large
end of the megaphone. Peggy saw
Gnawer dart part way out of the small
end, but apparently Judge Owl caught
him by the tail, for the mouse sud
denly stopped and tugged with all his
might.
Peggy expected to see Judge Owl
drag Gnawer back and gobble him up,
but something entirely different hap
pened. Gnawer seemed to be drawing
the judge right through the horn and
out the little end. The judge strug-
gled and kicked, but was slowly dis
appearing from view when Billy grab
self was dragged into the megaphone,
and Peggy leaped from the chair and
seized his heel. A force stronger than
they could resist tugged them along
right into the megaphone. Peggy felt
herself squeezed, squeezed, squeezed as
her body jammed into the narrow part
of the horn, and she grew smaller,
smaller, smaller. Suddenly the pres
sure ceased and there she was tumbling
out of the little end.
But she wasn't like she had been
before. Neither was Billy like he had
been, nor Judge Owl. All three had
been squeezed down until they were
the size of mice. And the mice them
selves--why, what were these big gray
animals, as large as leopards, racing
toward what appeared to be a cavern
entrance in a great wall at the oppo-
/ site side of a paved field? Suddenly
Peggy understood. The big gray ami
mails were the mice-just as large as
they had always been. She wondered
what would happen now that she and
Billy and Judge Owl were on equal
terms with them.
