PRESBYTER|ANS TO
HAVE BUSY MONTH
Christian Education, Minis
terial Relief and Tithing
on Program

December promises to be a busy
month with the Presbyterians in this
community, who are carrying out tho
Presbyterian progressive program.
The month has been set aside for
Christian education, ministerial relief
and a campaign for enllstlng tieth-
ers. By tithers is meant those who
give one-tenth or more of their in :
come to the church. Last year over
1900 members were reported as
tithers.
The campaign will be conducted by
the laymen's missionary movement
during the week of December ILLS.
There are a large number of these
associations organized and where
there is no Organization the pastors
have been requested to make the
presentation of the cause.
The Presbyterian church is stress
ing the need for Christian educa-
ton, and has urged the organization
of a committee in each church TO
secure at least one member who will
take a pledge for life work for the
church. In this connection there has
been established students loan
fund, which has been most successful
in aiding those who are unable to
secure higher education otherwise.
The receipts for the general funds
for Christian education and ministe-
rial relief last year were nearly
S250.00
Pastors will also be requested to
point out the duty of the church in
caring for aged ministers and needy
widows and orphans of deceased min
listers. Receipts for the endowment
fund for ministerial relief last year
amounted to nearly 100000, in which
is included the gift of the Graham
building in Jacksonville. Fla. The
committee in charge of this work has
arranged to issue life annuity bonds,
which furnish an attractive form of
investment.

In private negotiations brokers re-

Quickly Uncle Wiggily and his
friends wrapped snow around some
horse chestnuts. AS the wolf came
on they threw at him again, hit

"Oh, wow" howled the wolf, as
he turned and ran away. Throw
ing hard snowballs is no fair! Oh,
WOW! oh, wow!'
"Ha! Hal We made you rum"
laughed Baby Bunty, and so they
had. And when the wolf was far
off, sore and smarting from the
hard balls, Uncle Wiggily took
Baby Bunty and Susie to the store
and bought them hot chocolate
fudge. OF course the bunny
thanked the horse chestnuts for
having helped him. And IL the egg

Eyes, 1t looks pretty" the bunny
said And just then Baby Bunty
ran up behind him and dropped n
paw full of snow down his back.

she laughed.
ooh, my! What kind Of tag do
you call that?" asked the bunny,
as he squirled and squiggled.
Snow tag!" answered Baby
Bunty, as she ran down the path.
IF YOU can catch me and tag me
before that snow melts and runs
down your back, then I'll be it,!
But bless your lollypop! The
snow melted before Uncle Wiggily
could even p,lf catch the lively
little rabbit girl, so, of course, Mr..
Longears had to stay "it," but he
didn't mind.

snow, covering the ground. and

and Susie, and though even Uncle
Wiggily enjoyed the early storm.
still there was danger in 1t for
him.
The Woozie Wolf. Looping along
to see what he could find to eat,
saw in the snow the bunny rab-
bit tracks, and he shifted at them
with his long, sharp nose.
"Ah, hal" snickered the Wolf to
himself. Uncle Wiggily has passed
along this way, with two other
rabbits! I shall have some fine
ear nibbling when I catch them!
Oh, yes. indeed"
so he Hoped along faster and
faster, the Woozie Wolf did, until
pretty soon he caught sight OF I'M

bit girls, resting under a horse

of the snow flakes, as 1t still had
some of It's leaves.
There they are." snickered the
Woozie Wolf, sliding his red
tongue along on his sharp teeth.
"There they are-waiting for me"
OF course Uncle Wiggily and his
friends weren't exactly waiting for
the wolf, but it just happened that
way. Sneaking softly over the
snow the bad chap came nearer
and nearer to the horse chestnut
tree.
Then, all Of a sudden, Baby
Bunty and Susie looked up and
saw the savage creature.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily" cried Su-
sic. Look what's coming!"

THE STRIKE.

The Journal can not believe that any are so
reckless to carry out the threat of railroad
strike. They must not do It. The private welfare
OF one man one set of is inferior to the
rights Of whole people. No man has any private
rights when they in conflict with the public
well-beng.
We feel that we have right to life, liberty ana
the pursuit Of happiness. We have those rights as
against interference from any other individual. We
lose them when the welfare of all is involved. The
boys who went to France had the same right to
