The youth was afraid to look into it al

This they did, but as Peggy held up
the mirror, n cry of despair came from
the youth.
Peggy and Billy were so startled by
his cry that they looked into the mir
ror. What they saw there caused
them to cry out, too. The face pic
tured there was entirely different from
what they expected to see. 1t was a
face that seemed all nose-and long,
twisted nose at that.
They whirled around and, for the
first time they saw the youth as he
was-without any part of him being
hidden by the leaves. And they saw
that in between his handsome blue eyes
ana MS snlllng, gentle mouth, was the
large twisted nose that seemed to fill
the mirror. And they saw, too, that
the youth was not of the size of other
young men, but was no bigger than a
child.

were shown the great good that their
money was doing
Hs also referred to the necessity of
wisely developing the principle of team
work through which success III the recent
financial canvass had been gained. IL the
Congregational denomination is to have
future, it must be not along the lines
of excessive individualism, but in the
growth Of representative democracy in
which the churches can act effectively to-
gether under competent leadership which
they themselves choose and control and
change as often as desirable. The churches
and the ministers must feel themselves to
be company of people banded together
to play their part in the redemption of
a state and world There must be the
warmest kind of fellowship and the most
effective sort Of practical helpfuness. The
day of isolation for Congregational
church or a Congregational minister has
passed.
1t would also l. necessary to deal rad
icaly with the qrtston of ministerial sup
ply Now that we can offer increased
support. we must make a mere definite anC
more systematic effort TO recruit the
ranks of the ministry for the strongest
Young men obtainable. Each churci
should see to it that it constantly has a
least one young man who Is IN the pro
cess Of thorough preparation for preach
ing the gospel.
Another obligation is that of exaltin'
the peculiar function of the church Il
