CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR

In a letter received from Sec
rotary Gates the Bruno Christian
Endeavor Society has been asked
to assist with relief work in ia
pan. No word had as yet been
received from MI. Sawaya, field
secretary of the Japan Christian
Endeavor Union, but as the head
quarters of the Union and many
of the societies were in the de-
vastated district, there is no
doubt but that there has been
large and serious destruction of
church property and perhaps OF
the lives of Christian Endeavor.
ers. AS Sept. 80 is the date fol
the regular missionary meeting
that evening has been selected
for taking up the offering called
for. This offering may be sup
plemented by the personal gift
of interested friends who do moi
attend the meeting by handing
offerings to Anna Rupp or Jay
Traver. Please bear this in mind
for Sept. 80.
Next Sunday, Sept. %. the sub

much thought of late among the

an interesting meeting.

A Voice From Heaven.

! shine in the light Of God,
His likeleness stamps my brow;
Through the shadow of death my feet
have trod
And ] reign In glory now.
No breaking heart is there.
No keen and thrilling pain:
No wasted cheek, where the fire.
quent tear
Hath rolled and left It's stain.
! have found the joys OF heaven.
! am n OF the sainted band:
To my head a crown OF gold Is given.
And a harp Is In my hand.
| have learned the songs they sing
Whom Jesus hath set free:
And the glorious walls OF Heaven
still ring.
With my newborn melody.
No sin-no grief-no pain.
Safe In my happy home;
My fears all fled. my doubts all slain,
My hour OF triumph come.
o. friends OF mortal years,
The trusted and the true.
You are walking still In the valley
OF tears,
But ! wait to welcome you.
Do ! forget? oh. no!
For memory's golden chain.
Shall bind my heart to the hearts
below,
Till they meet. TO touch again.
Each link is strong and bright,
Aud loves electric flame.
Flows freely down. like "a river OF
light,
To the world from whence I came.
DO you mourn when another star
Shines out from the glittering skyg
DO you weep when the raging voice
of war
And the storms Of conflict die'
Then why should your tears run
down,
And your heart be sorely rlven.
For another gem In the Savior's
crown,
And another soul in Heaven?

by rendering a personal check,
but when he got home with his
car, he stopped payment on the
check at his bank. The matter
was placed in the hands of an at

OF the whoiesai" dry goods trade.
say:
Current wholesale distribution OF
dry goods continued in abou, the
same volumes as last week. but did
no, reach tho figure of the CORE
spending period year ago. when
the Eemlannual pre.lnventory sale
was held. Road sales were In ex.
cess of the total OF a week ago.
altho they were somewhat less than
during the same week last year.
Sales for immediate delivery show a
considerable improvement over both
last years and last years figures,
indicating increased retail activity.
'There were fewer customers in
the market than during the same
week In 1922, altho there were con-
siderably more than last week. Col.
lectlons were about equal TO last
year during the corresponding pc.
Rod.
There is every reason to believe
that the pro,lnventory sales to be
held next week by the Chicago
wholesale houses viii attract n
greater volume OF trade than last
year"
