Holt County Sunday School Notes.

The District Sunday School conven-
tion of Lewis-Forbes district was held
in Forbes, Sunday afternoon, June 10.
Rev. Smith gave helpful address.
Three subscriptions for the Missouri
Sunday School News were taken.
Mr.. Jesse Cain Is the new president;
Geo. Sahlin, Forbes, vice-president;
Miss Myrtle Huetson, Oregon, secre-
tary-treasurer; Miss Aletha Thomp-
son, children's division superintendent;
Mrs. Emma Netherland, young
peoples division superintendent; Miss
Orpha Stewart, assistant young
peoples division superintendent; Reed
Bailey, adult division superintendent;
Ed Keaster, administration division
superintendent.
Letters have been sent out to the
Sunday school superintendents Of the
county, asking for an offering to the
International Sunday School Associa-
tion on or before Patriotic Sunday,
July Sd. Our schools are urged to re-
spond TO this call. Our state ranks
third in North America. II is largely
through the help we have received
from the International Association
that our Sunday schools have been
worked up TO this standard.
Roger Babson, the famous statisti-
clan and business mems adviser, says:
"The need of the hour Is not more
factories or materials, not more rail-
roads or steamships, not more armies
or navies, but rather more education
based on the plain teachings OF Jesus.
This Is not time to reduce invest
ments In Christian education. This is
the time Of all times to increase such
subscriptions
Scores Of Sociaiistic Sunday schools
are being organized over the nation.
These Sunday schools are against
Christian education.
For every person in our Christian
Sunday schools in our nation two per
sons are not IN Sunday school. This
Is true of our own county. The Inter
national Association Is helping US to
bring ir the two-thirds. Let US help
them with an offering. Address, In
ternational Sunday School Association,
1916 Mallers Bldg, 5 South Wabash
Avenue, Chicago, III. This offering
does not apply on our county appor-
tlonment,
The Missouri Sunday School News
gives suggested program for
Patriotic Sunday.
Organized classes are urged to fol-
low un their absentecs as part OF our
"Go.To-Sunday. School" campaign for
the summer. -.
Some Of our district and county off
GERS have been visiting Sunday schools
this month. In Rev. Smiths address
nj Forbes he suggested that we allow
our Sunday school superintendents
time off to visit Sunday schools in or
der TO get help from other Sunday
schools. MARY GREEN,
County Secretary-Treasurer.

Three of Fred Elders children,
near CurZon, aged respectively D, IL
and l3 years, had n narrow escape
from drowning, Sunday last, June 10,
while wading in the Prussman creek,
near their home. The boy, aged ., and
his sisters, aged IL and 10, were wad-
ing in the creek, when the boy struck
n hole, over his head, and went under
his sister, aged IL, went to his res
cue, and she went under, when the
sister, aged l3, went to their rescue,
and none of them being able to swim,
all would have drowned had not Mr.,
Elder happened along when they were
floundering around trying to get out.
This should be warning to children,
who cannot swim, to keep away from
creeks unless some older person is with
them, who can aid them II they get
beyond their depth.

LEAGUE HAS PROVED WORTH
Lord Robert Cecil Roberts Enumerates
Achievements.

London, Jan. IA spirit OF opti-
mism as regards the future of the
League Of Nations, is voiced by Lord
Robert Cecil in a statement in which
he enumerates the achievements of the
League on which he bases his pre-
dictions of it's enduring success. He
says:
"The League of Nations is a living
organism and has already accomplished
much.
"The dangerous dispute between
Sweden and Finland has been put in
a fair way to settlement.
'Hostilities between Poland and Lii
tijuana have been arrested.
can international court of justice
has been established.
Three powers, the United States,
Spain and Brazil, have been induced
to mediate on behalf of Armenia.
"Two hundred thousand prisoners
of war have been repatriated from
Russia.
"The campaign against typhus has
been organized and assisted.
"The financial conference at Brus-
sells has made proposals for mitigating
the economic chaos in Europe.
"A health organization has been
started and two very important and
successful labor conferences have been
held.
"The first Assembly Of the whole
League has just taken place. Forty
two nations attended, and by the uni
yersal testimony of those who took part
in it, it was a magnificent success. A
real international atmosphere, a genu-
inc effort at mutual understanding and
enthusiasm and energy past praise
marked its sittings. Much, very much,
was actually achieved, but the purpose
and spirit Of the Assembly were even
more encouraging than it's achieve
ments.
"The international problems to be
faced during the coming year are likely
to be immense. So far the machinery
and organization of the League when
ever tested have proved adequate.
Changes will doubtless be required to
meet new situations, and nothing could
be worse than any impression that the
covenant was ~sacrosant and incapable
of development. But the process will
require judgment and discretion. You
cannot safely cut and carve a living or
ganism j~ust'as you please. The League
is a living organism. That is now an
incontrovertible fact"

Hot Water a Sovereign Remedy

Edmund Burke, the celebrated Brit
ish statesman whom every high school
boy has occasion to know through his
famous speech on Cancellation, was a
believer in the hot water theory of
therapeutics. For whenever Burke
found himself indisposed he ordered
a kettle of hot water to be kept boil
ing, of which he drank large quanti-
ties, sometimes as much as four or
five quarts in a morning, without any
mixture or infusion, according to an
old copy of the Dublin University
Magazine. He would pour out about
a pint as hot as he could bear, and
drink it with a spoon, as if it had
been soup. Warm water, he said,
would relax and nauseate, but hot
water was the finest stimulant and
most powerful restorative in the
world. He not only partook of this
sovereign remedy himself, but pre-
scribed to every patient that would
listen to him at all.-Kansas City Star.
