Belgian Infants
 Needs.
 Since the war, what little country stands out foremost in our minds !? That little nation which heroically bore the burden of the war until we were ready. Belgium gave her all and in this giving sacrificed much, but through it all she put thought, devo- tion and energy in caring for the in digent and orphaned children of her country, realizing the future of the land depended upon the young. Now peace is restored but the institutions existing in 1914 for the nourishment and protection of infants have been rendered practically helpless when the Gepnan invasion put a sudden stop to public and private contributions.
 The problem of saving the children is grave and energetic measures must be taken if these little ones are to be saved from the diseases, especially tuberculosis, which menace them. Ev- eryone knows what ravages tubercu- losis made during the war, so it is not only the question of stopping this en- emy but of re-gaining lost ground. America is in the best position to help these 300,000 children in that country that need treatment and care.
 The Countess D'Ursel, member of the Belgian relief committee, has come to this country to thank gener- ous America for the help she has so eagerly given and to say if it can be continued this year, the hope of the future is secure. An American girl, Kate T. Robertson, working in Bel gium last summer, has authority to speak in Belgium's behalf. She will speak to Flagstaff's generous citizens at the court house, Thursday night, January 18th, at 7:30.
 Let us hear and think on Belgium's children's needs.

 Federated Church.
 A seeker after truth-a seeker after riches--a seeker after health-are We any of these? Or if any one of these, are we good seeker?
 Mediocre talent is plentiful, but we wish to stand out, head and shoulders above the ordinary mortal. Isn't that our ambition? Are we going Sunday morning to the Federated church and hear about "A Good Seeker?"
 Sunday night we are to have "A Startling Announcement"- wonder if it is for you7 Each day we pick up some reading matter and there is brought home to us some striking passage that seems written for us alone. Do we read our Bible with the same self examination?
