In MemOriam.

In loving remembrance of my dear wife
and our mother, Clara l. Hoover, who
died one year ago, January 5, 1920.
Often in our heart comes bitter cry,
Why, o why did our mother die?
Then comes the answer, so solemn and
deep,
Our loving mother is only asleep,
Sleep on, dear mother, and take thy rest;
God called you home, He thot it best.
He saw you suffering here so great,
He opened wide the Golden Gate.
You have gone from US, dear mother,
To your Savior good and true,
You have won the heavenly glory
Which is for US to do.
BY her loving husband and children.

Gracehan Letter.

When in army life soldiers were to be
gathered together, the bugler would send
out call by means of his bugle, and in
this way obtain the desired results. Last
Friday evening the Ladies Aid of the
church sent out an oyster call and many
people from far and near responded.
Upon arriving here they found plenty OF
enemy oysters lowering around the camp.
At last the Ladies Aid made the attack
and, having captured all, executed them.
In short while they were served to
those people anxiously waiting to get
crack at them. Believe me, they were
very good and the happy throng delight.

The 9 O'Clock service was featured by
the reading of the Memorabilia. 1t
was well attended as well as the Watch
Night service at ll.30 1t was encour-
aging to see so many people present, and
to give expression to their love and ser.
vice for Jehovah A blessing was indeed
bestowed on Us for spending those few
moments in the House of the Lord, both
part of the old and neu years.
Last Sunday we observed New Year
Love Feast and Holy Communion. 1t
was indeed splendid day outside and
this brought large number of members
from both far and near to participate.
1t was indeed wonderful way, and a
helpful way, too. of beginning 1921. We
were in love and devotion together before
the Christ and in fellowship one with an
other. Wha t greater JOY can we have
than this? Blessings We're showered up
on us as we partook of the precious body
and blood of the Divine Son of God.
May it be the means of drawing US closer
together in His service, and at last unto

SECOND QUARTER
FAILURES FEWER
Insolvencies Decrease by 709,
TOtaling Indebtedness
OF S5O,O0O,00O.

The statement compiled by r. G.
Dun and Company discloses 4.l63
commercial failures in the United.
States during the second quarter of
1921, with liabilities OF $l30.273.615,
and 9.035 defaults supplying S3l0-
67l.604 for the half year. Follow
ing the usual tendency, the second
quarters insolvencies are fewer in
number than those of the first quar-
ter, the reduction being T09, and
the indebtedness is some $50 1000. 900
less than that of the preceding
three months. Excepting in April,
failures have decreased in number
in each month this year. and the
indicated total for June, ,32o-is
the smallest of any month since
last November. The June liabilities
OF S34.639.3I5 are also the lightest
reported in seven months. although
still much above the monthly av-
erage. With many large defaults
this year, the amounts involved have
been abnormally heavy, and the ex-
pansion over the figures of former
years is pr"portionately greater
than the rise in number of insol-
vencies. Comparison of the present
statement with the favorable ex-
hibit OF 1920 reveals a numerical
increase of about 40 per cent, and
one of 260 per cent in the liabilities
for the half year. whilc the indebt-
edness for the second quarter of
the current year is the largest on
record for the period.
