subject, "Compensation." Church school
at noon. Mems Forum at IL. Is. Mid-week
service Thursday at 80 p. M Despite the
storm of last Sunday, a fine body of men
turned out to the Mems Forum to hear
Mr Morris L. Slugg speak on the subject,
"A Wider Interest in Agriculture DR..
W. l.. West presided and Mr. Slugg gave
most interesting address. The discus
sion which followed was very animated
and profitable and showed considerable
diversity of opinion regarding the subject
introduced: In fact, SO interested were
the men that after the meeting closed,
they fingered for another half-hour to
talk things over. The subject is to be
taken up again next Sunday, when it is
hoped number of farmers will be pres
ent and express their views on this i'm
portant theme, "Man shall not live by
bread alone" said the "Great Teacher"
Nevertheless we certainly need some
bread, and, as one of the men pertinently
put 1t, II quite believe the farmer is ca
pable of taking care of himself, but what
l want to make sure of is that he will
also take care of me-" The speaker for
next Sunday will be Mr. Ralph Hayford
and his subject will be: 1.-THE City
Mans Obligations to the rarmer.''
Now men, and farmers, especially,
plan to be present. You will have a
good time.
The stereopticon lecture last Sunday
evening on "The Pilgrim Builder in the
New World" was greatly enjoyed by
those present, and it was felt that the
spirit of "The Pilgrims" still lives in
their descendants, and accounts for all
that is best in our American civilization
today: Next Sunday evening the sub
!ect OF the lecture will be-, "Under Cey-
Ions Palms." The lecture will be illus
trated by seventy colored views, and as
Ceylon is the gem of the Indian Ocean,
an island of rare beauty, with vast tea
plantations and an interesting people,
1t will be great privilege to see by
means of pictures some of its natural
beauties and gain further knowledge of
the manners and customs of its people.
The lecture is free to all and the public
is cordially invited to attend. A collec-
tlonJwill be taken to defray the cost Of
hiring slides.
