4 new undertaking has been sci in
motion by the Wa Washington Federation
Of Churches in the appointment of
Mrs. Mary II. krause as Juvenile
Court worker. She will represent the
Protestant churches of the city at the
court and will lake care of all ca ses
assigned to her by the Judge. This
work will have the Endorsement of
church leaders in all the denomina-
tions. Such service has been rendered
as far as possible by the Juvenile Pro.
tective Association for some years
past, but not enough time could be
given to it. Mrs. krause will have her
offices in the Juvenile Court Building
and give her full time to the cases of
Protestant families requiring religious
counsel and help. 1t will be her pur-
pose to make connections between
these families and the churches in
their neighborhood, endeavoring TO Sc
cure better environment and associa.
tions for the children who require
this. There are many forms of service
which she can render either herself or
through the agency of the churches,
Sunday schools, young peoples soci-
cites and other organizations.
This work Is being begun with the
conviction that interested friends will
assume the responsibility for the sup
port of the Juvenile Court worker
Contributions will be received at the
Office of the Federation of Churches

The Parting Benediction.
Paul having cared for the interests
of the church and the needs Of his
brethren who had answered his call
to meet him at Miletus, handed them
over to God in his parting benedic-
ton. He recommended them to look
TO God with confidence and hope that
they would receive the strength and
comfort needed at all times. He com.
mended them TO Him because the
Lord loved them and would always
be able to help aid and assist them by
His Spirit. He wished them TO re-
member that God had all wisdom to
guide them, and all-loving and tender
mercy to sympathize with them and a
perfect knowledge of both them selves
and all their surroundings, so that
He could a all times be" their holper
in their hour of need There was and
is no other power that will keep a
minister true TO his mission. Ir is
equally true of every Christian life.
The difficult parting with the apos-
lie, whom they loved. was made easier
for them all TO endure by the assur-
ance OF the power OF the word Of
His grace" Paul had referred 10 the
Gospel OF the grace of God, and in
parting he speaks of the word OF
grace, which TO the apostle mind
was the same as God. He assured
them thai no matter how weak one
may be the word of grace would
supply them not only knowledge but
also spiritual strength to master the
difficulties of life, every day. God 8
word has retained all OF It's power
1t furnishes us the same encourage
ment that it did the elders Of the
Ephesus Church. TO practice The pre-
cepts Of the Lord, who taught men
that 1t is more blessed TO Sive than
