Dear Sisters of The. Corner: The fn- gerprints of winter came last week. There were heartaches for those who owned the extensive grounds of dahlias and other plants, but the bulbs are still intact for the future My 32 containers of the plant family had been in the shop for three weeks. but for safety were brought into the house and are not set tied to my liking yeti
 Am trying few receptacles for a. real window garden. One pot of .chard was left on the back steps and in the mean time the hen family were having. an out ing before dark, and when I found time to bring it in found the leaves trimmed off in fine form, but they will recover, and am trusting for mess of greens by and by. This is a busy season, especially fer those who have gardens, even small ones, to collect the vines and store away
 the poles, and supports that were used
 during the summer, making ready for the coming of natures rest season. Jusi
 at present the rain and thunder with the searchlights are doing some lively. stunts and in the morning paper may read oi damage being done by the electric storm We shall miss the helpful letters of ths
 sisters who have gone on before, bu each one of our big family can write
 something to help fill the page.

THE cKNTENNrAL eu1Lr. }

Dear Editor, Sisters and Friends of the Social Corner: have been thinking for a long time that would write toThe Social Corner, so my name would not be forgotten, but after reading all the qice letters and they are all composed much better than can compose, that think my letter will not be very interesting. But I think I ought to write once in a while to keep myself in good standing with the Corner.
 How many of. the, sisters remember the year 1876 Nentennial year) when there was such a craze among the young girls piecing bed quilts. The idea was in having no two pieces alike in them I collected 1,0oS different kinds of cali co and made. a bed. quilt of them still have the quilt, although 1t shows some signs of wear as it was made 46 | years ago, and it has been in use ever since. Nearly every one who gave me pieces has. passed away, but I enjoy looking it over and recalling the names of many dear friends. Two of | the hlocks are pieces of my great grand mother,ss dresses and are over a ahundred years old.
 -sa Those ware : happy days among the young people and can never be forgotten
 often think. of my chfldhod days when I never knew a. cares-

BRIDE AUCTIONED
WHEN DESERTED
AT ALTAR HOUR

LODI, Poland.-Dowry bidding for
a bride figured in a recent wedding
at the border town of Bialystok, ac-
cording to news brought here by
guests returning from the nuptials.
At the hour fixed for the cere-
mony, the bridegroom failed to put in
an appearance, The young bride, her
attendants and the guests whiled a.
way a long period of waiting with
dances and conversation. Finally at
IL D. m. a message arrived from the
missing principal, saying he would
conclude the marriage only on con-
dition that the dowry were increased
so per cent.
For a time it looked as if there
would be no wedding, and the guests
prepared to depart. But the day was
saved when one of the youTg men
present rose to the occasion by an
nouncing he would marry the young
lady without the "bonus" demand
ed. His offer was a~cceptedsand the
wedding took place.
The original bridegroom, having
undergone a change of heart, ap-
peared just as the beqediStion was
being pronourced but was, OF course,
obliged to return home a bachelor.

JOHN D. BROKE GIFT RECORD

0OAAAN Ds A1AAOAAAI VII AsA1SOASD
The Brooklyn Eagle.
The Rockefeller fortune is the great
est in America. 1t has tripled since
1911. John d. Rockefeller holds first
place in the ulti-millionaire class.
And he has been one of the most
systematic and persistent planners to
dispose of a large part of his millions
in all the world. When has gave 100
million dollars in 1919-half to the
general educational board and half to
the Rockefeller Foundation-he broke
the record in single-handed philan-
thropic gifts in the HISTORY of Big
Giving, and he brought his gift total
up to 500 million dollars, and since
then he has given away more than
SO million dollars additional.
AS an example Of the methods and
business Like in which the
Rockefeller millions are disbursed for
philanthropic purposes the conduct
of the Rockefeller Foundation may be
cited. There a world war is being
waged against disease-disease car
ried to all parts of the world by
commerce. Fighting disease never
can be a success if it be confined to
national boundaries. The fight must
be carried on through international
agencies, and so the Foundation is
seeking cooperation among all ma
tions.

3. The Exhortations wv. 29-3D. III
Make not the getting Of food and
clothes your chief concern. Trust God
to provide them. 60 Seek the king
dom of God ". 31). Those who make
Gods kingdom first shall have all their
needs supplied (Phil. 4:19). (3) Be
not afraid ". 32). Gods. good pleas
ure is upon His own, and all good
things Will He give them. (4) Prac-
tice self-denial in order to be able to
give gifts to those In need wv. 80, 34).
The doing Of such deeds will tend to
lift the thoughts upward to God-to
trust Him.
III. BE Ready for the Coming Of the
Lord wv. 35-4O).
Having warned the disciples against
the acquisition of worldly goods while
forgetting God, and shown them the
needlessness Of anxiety for food and
clothes, He shows them the blessed
ness Of being in a state Of readiness
when the Lord shall come. Conyic-
ton as to the certainty Of the Lords
coming Is the sure cure for worldllness
and anxious care. This attitude Of
heart He made clear by two parallels
that Of the returning Of the Lord and
that Of the thief. The Lord will be 30
pleased with those who r waiting
for Him that He will take delight in
sitting at the banquet with them, and
even serve them. The parable of the
th'"f shows that the time of the Lords
coming is not known.

!. A Warning Against coveteusness
wv. 1920.
l.. The Occasion wv. 1915. One Of
the company requested Jesus to be
umpire in a disputed estate. Two
brothers were Ia trouble over an in
heritance. Christ refused to enter the
sphere Of the civil law and warned
against the spirit Of avarice. Christ's
mission was prominently spiritual.
2. Enforcement Of the Warning wv.
1920. The parable Of the rich man
shows clearly that to be concerned
with earthly riches while neglecting
God is the height Of folly. The Lords
warning is Of great Importance today;
for many are seeking gold an0 forget
ting God. Note ~ his increase In
goods ". 16). His riches were rightly
obtained, for the ground brought forth
plentifully. This shows that a man
may be rich because Of the Lords
blessing upon him. (2) His perplexity
". 10. His land vas producing more
than his barns would hold. He did not
want it to go to waste. If he had pcs
sessed the right views of life and a
sense of stewardship before God, he
would have seen that his barns at least
had enough for his personal needs and
that he could have distributed his sur
plus to the needy and for benevolent
purposes. (3) The fatal choice wv.
IS, 19). He chose to enlarge his
barns and give up his life to ease and
luxury. 1t ought to be- a delightful
task for men whom God has made
rich to devote their time and energy
to the distribution Of their possessions
to benevolent purposes. az The aw-
full indictment wv. 20, Ply. God calls
him q fool.
II. The Certain Cure for Anxiety
wv. 32-34).
Having shown the folly of the rich
man who gained gold but lost God, He
now urged the disciples to trust God
and dismiss all anxious care. He as
sured them that they need not be anx-
ious even for the necessities Of life.
Note:
1. The Argument wv. %, 23J. This
Is summed up in one brief sentence:
"The life is more than food, and the
body Is more than raiment.Y The God
who gave the life and made the body
should be trusted to provide food and
clothing. = -.s Il

Gods care for the fowls wv. 24-28).

not forget the fowls, certainly He
would do more for His children. (2)
