(The maid is disappointed: she has

SO long has she been bound round by
tradition--by rcspectability and belief

Undoubtedly, there is wisdom in this.
The idle person Is apt to become
neurotic, and one Of the quickest ways
to become normal IS TO interest oneself
in intellectual or unselfish humane pur-
suits. But to long for love is not
pathological (diseascd) and this mid

pensable to keep the bourgeois en-
emy business with internal trouble
in order that they cannot injure

"Great strikes should be organ

to enter Russia with the apparent
purpose of organizing revolts

Church Raises Big
Sum for Home
and Foreign Work

Twelve thousand nine hundred
sixty dollars and thirty six cents is
the sum total of funds raised by
the Seventh Day Adventist church
on North 5th street, as shown by
the financial report of the treasur-
er, A. C. Stiffler, for 1920. This
sum is about $25O0 more than was
! given during 1919.
The sabbath school devotes all
its offerings to the cause of for
| eign missions. Its total for the
year was $2,347.53. This repre-
sents the offerings of an average
attendance for the year of 1913, and
shows an average offering of over
$45 each sabbath.
According to the treasurer's re-
port, $5,941.62 was received as
tithe, which is set apart to the sup
port of the ministry. This tithe
is turned in from all the churches
into the Conference treasury, and
all ministers receive equal salary,
whether they have large congre-
cations or small ones.
Besides these amounts the church
gave to missions outside of the
sabbath school offering the sum of
$2,529.06, making the total to for
eign missions $4,S76.59. The goal
set by the church for 1920 was soc
week per member for missions.
The church went over the top,
reaching soc a week per member
for the whole year. They have set
as their goal for 1921 the sum of
6Oc a week per member. TheS
whole Seventh Day Adventist
Church of North America has set
this same goal.
over 70 percent of the young
people of the denominat ation in the
state of Oregon are receiving edu-
cation and training in the schools
of the denomination. Their junior
college at Laurelwood is crowded
to the limit with young people.
A. C. Stiffler was reelected
treasurer of the church here.
Evangelist A. r. Bell is pastor.
During 1920 encouraging advances
in membership have been made, by
baptism, profession of faith, and
by letter, the membership reported
by the clerk of the church, Mrs.
Iva Ashby, being 1913 at the close
of the year.

Educating high school students
in the culinary art is of far less
than inculcating an
intelligent and agile use of musical
