Churches
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

The vacation period is now over.
We have had a delightful summer.
The coming week will mark the
beginning of what should be a
long period of activity, wisely di-
rected, in all the departments of
our community life.
The children and young people
will be returning this week from
ranches and vacation trips, that
they may be ready for enrolment
in school next Monday.
Already the faces of children we
meet on the street are sparkling
with anticipation, which is all very
natural, and we are sure that every
teacher will be in her place to greet
these happy children as they come
trooping in from every home in
the community. So much do we
value the secular education of our
children.
Shall we not also see that they
are directed to the Sunday Schools
next Sunday morning. Shall not
those who are teachers in the Sun
day schools be in their places to
greet the children in the name of
the Lord. Shall we not make next
Sunday a sort of Rally Day for
the church and the Sunday school,
and let all the activities begin at
once?
We plead that the parents of e
cry home will see that Willie and
Mary and Jessie and Jane and all
the rest are present in the Sunday
school where they should attend,
and that they are regularly and
promptly present every Sunday
thru the season.
Further, it is not too much to ex-
pect that fathers and mothers and
adults generally shall turn their at
tention to the worship of God and
the study of his word. At least
they should be expected to find a
place in their weekly program for
attending the services of some
church and giving culture to the
life of the soul.
Let us all be good sports in the
game of life and learn the art OF
social fellowship in the development
of u holy Christian ideals.
Sunday morning we shall OBJ
serve as Labor Sunday, and the
pastor will bring an appropriate
message on 1.-The Place and Func.
ton of Labor in Human Life"
At the evening hour the subject
will be 1.-THE place and Function
of Recreation in Human Life"
All are invited.

to me a most remarkable instance of
Mrs Akisa s love for him. While the
Sioux were on their way from Mime

attacked by the Mandan Indians. an
enemy tribe. They saw Mrs. Akisa
running along the river bank holding
something now in front of her and
now behind her.

her away behind her fellow tribesmen.
When she caught up with them. il
was discovered that she was protect

about her own brood.
