A SKY-SCRAPER CHURCH.

The first skyscraper church in the
world is to be erected in Chicago The
cornerstone has just been laid The
towering building. situated in the heart
of the business district, was referred to
by a speaker as "a symbol of how relig-
ion should vitalize and permeate all our
affairs"
The lower part of the building will
be devoted to offices for all sorts of
church, welfare and charitable enter
priseS. The structure is directly a Meth
odist venture, but is to act as a center
for furthering Christian activities gen
orally.
Chicago is very proud Of this new
church which will rise in the midst of
commerce and throw its shadow across
the city hall and administrative offices.
It may be that the citizens think it is
really something new in church loca-
ton. But how many small communities
have the same thing-the churches Dor
dering on the central village green, their
slender spires pointing to the skies and
their shadows falling across the town
hall and the general store?
The skyscraper may fit the needs and
ideals of a great city. 1t is hoped it
will have as potent an influence upon
the temporal affairs of Chicago as the
little church in its similar strategic sit
uation has had for generations in smaller
towns.

One of the first casualties of deer
hunting week in the state is reported
from Waitsfield, where n woman was Sc
riously wounded by a rife bullet while
at the telephone in her home. While it
is not known who fired the shot, it is
supposed that it came from gun in the
hands of deer hunter. The fact that
there is 4 wooded elevation back of the
house makes this natural superstition.
There is no time when so many hunters
lacking judgment and experience are
abroad as in the open season for deer,
but one naturally expects to be safe
within the confines of ones home.

With nurses home made certain by

of the Memorial hospital may well turn
their attention to the important question
of enlarging the institutions accommo-
dations, thereby not only increasing its
usefulness but making possible more
economical operation than can be at
tanned under present conditions. No
plan of enlargement can be put through
without the assurance of local assistance
but The Meddler has an idea that senti-
ment toward the hospital is such that
public appeal along the right lines
might be fayorably received. lie has
never been much of an enthusiast about
the various hospital benefits that have
been staged. but at least they seem to
have brought people hereabouts to a
realization Of the fact that the hospital
is local institution and deserving of
local assistance. Now if it can be
shown that Il comparatively small out
lay will make the hospital superior to
any in this section so far as facilities and
accommodations are concerned and at the
same time bring about considerable
economies in operation. it ought to be
possible to raise the necessary funds.

is safe to assume that comparatively
