vitation to good luck.
To kill a cat is everlasting bad
luck. @
Dropping a knife is the sign of
male company; a fork female; a
teaspoon the sign of disappoint-
ment.
To drop scissors or gloves means
disappointment.
Never sing before breakfast. Sing
before you eat-you1l cry before
you sleep,

Granted A Vacation t~'."
The Trustees of the Ellendale M.
E. Church have granted their pas
tor, Rev. R. G.. Conner, a vacation
during the month of August. There
will be no preaching services either
night or morning and the Epworth
League will also discontinue SER
vices during the month of August.
The church school will continue to
meet each Sunday at 10 a. m. :
Perhaps this would be a good
time to have a testimony meeting
extending from eleven to twelve o.
clock each Sunday morning.
Glass meetings have been abol-
ished by many Methodist churches,
and have nearly been abolished in
the Ellendale M. E. Church-by the
looks of the smallness of the con-
gregatjon attending preaching SER
vices. That something is needed to
revive the people, and cause them
to think more of God and His
church than of the world; try the
class meetings, it will do no harm
and may be the means of creating
more spiritual enthusiasm among
the people and in that way bring
back a greater interest in the [
church than has been felt for some
time.
Church School
The church school met at 10 a. !
m. with SO teachers and scholars
being present. This was fine show
ng at this season of the year. {
Schools which have much larg- I
er number on their rolls, fail to
nave as many present. The study of s
he lesson which should be engaged $
n by all present-for only in this
way can we find out what the lesson s
means and what it is supposed to :
each. The title of the lesson "God
md Our Daily Bread" The hosts Of n
srael had passed safely over the
Red Sea and were now in the will
Ierness. Hunger had invaded their
anks and they commenced to muir
nur against Moses and Aaron, Il
heir leaders. They went so far as to Ii
ay to them: would that we had il
led by the hand of the Lord in the u
and of Egypt, when we sat by the t,
esh pots; when we did eat bread "
D the full; for ye have brought us Il
orth into the wilderness to kill e;
MS whole assembly with hunger" Sc
They had failed to think how Of
sn they had pleaded with God for W
elief from the Egyptian task mas n
ers, and they had also neglected to B
link how many times God had kl
ONE to their rescue by visiting fc
lague upon plague on Pharaoh IL
nd his people until the naughty Il
lonarch consented for their depar- d1
Ire, and now when hunger was a
resent how quick they were to for pt
ct everything that had been done e1
II them by God. in
This is very much like the people fiji
today. AS long as everything hs
owes along smoothly, no sickness, pi
D losses, and no hunger, but let w
e scene change and like the chill
zen of Israel, they commence to is
urmur and forgetting as they do tn
e kindness of God to fallen hui tn
anity. IL,
Now in the case of the children of su
rael, see what God will do for lie
EN-. Behold, / will rain bread gu
ON heaven for you, Moses, and
e people shall go out and gather an
days portion every day, that 1 ill
