question continued to hold the

the Louisiana Purchase in 1903

the United States, emigration
increased to such an extent that
in 1929 Missouri formed state
government and applied for ad-

congress against the addition of
another slave state. On the 9TH

PAY YOUR INCOME TAX

Bills for the last installment of 1920
income tax are being prepared and
will be mailed to all taxpayers Says
Collector H. T. Graham on or before
December 1st.
December 18th, is the day for the
payment of the fourth installlnent of
the income and excess profits taxes due
this year. To avoid penalty, the tax
must be in the office of the Collector
of Internal Revenue by midnight of
that date.
Enquiries reaching the Collector of
Internal Revenue indicate belief that
taxpayers have ten days grace on this
lnstallment, such provision was con-
tained in the 1917 Revenue Act, but was
removed by the Revenue Act of 1918. "
Payment of the fourth installment
may be made in cash or by money order
or check. The Bureau of Internal
Revenue urges that whenever possible
payment be made by check or
money order. This method helps the
taxpayer by saving him a trip to the
collectors office and avoids conges-
ton at the cashiers window. Check or
money order to be made payable to H.
T. Graham, Collector of Internal
Revenue.
"Bills will be sent to taxpayers, but
failure to receive bill does not relieve
the taxpayer of his obligation to pay
on time.

Card Of Thanks

Words are inadequate to express our
heartfelt gratitude to those friends and
acquaintances who came to our aid and
so kindly administered to the every
want of our darling girl, Esther, dur
ing her short illness and ultimate death.
God in his infinite mercy could show no
more sympathy than was bestowed
upon US in this, our most dreadful dark
hour of despair and heart-breaking
sorrow. May He, "Who doeth all things
well." be with you and repay that for
which we feel SO utterly unable to even
express. We thank you one and
all, for the words and expressions OF
sympathy rendered US.

THE SUNDAY NEXT BEFORE ADVENT
The title for this Sunday brings be-
fore us the solemn fact that we stand
upon the threshold of another Christian
Church, Year. Behind US lie twelve
months which have passed into history.
The spiritual account of these days
have been written down by the record
ing angel; and the thought quite clearly
suggests itself: Are they for or against
US? We have been grantei, as q
church and as individuals, 365 days OF
great spiritual privileges. Many oppor'
tunities for Communion, meditations,
and prayer. have been ours. In the
Gospel for to-day, after our Lord haC
fed the multitude, He bade the Apostles
gather up the frag ments that remained,
that nothing be lost. So after this yeal
of privilege we must recall what the
Holy Spirit has taught us.
All that Is necessary for US to know
has been declared to the willing, Tn
prejudiced attendant upon the services
of the church.
1t is solemn thing to come to the
closing of church year, and looking
back to recall the failures, the doubts
| the sins, and the mistakes that we have
made; but another year daWns. in which
to retrieve those errors by splendit
victory over the world, the flesh, ant
the devil, and rise to a higher plane O.
| living than heretofore. Gathering VI
the fragments that remain, like tn,
great St. Paul we must press forward
trusting in the church. believing in he
Creeds, contending earnestly, as goot
soldiers, for that faith which was onc'
for all delivered to the saints. No nev
revelation has been promised US, tn
church adapts herself to all ages, bu
knows no compromise with her faith
her doctrines, her orders, or her sacra
ments; and Christ has said to her: 'rLo
l am with you always, even unto tn
end of the world
