. EXPLANATION

Due to preponderence of matter
relative to the important meeting held
on Monday night of this week, many
interesting items were, by necessity,
omitted. AS many as possible will be
produced next week.

dinner. The dinner was served for

goes with a fish dinner.
Rev. and Mrs. C. F. Stewart
plan to leave Minneapolis early in
February to attend the Bishops
Council in Florida. While away he
expects to replenish the pulpit
with a well versed minister from
the Indiana district.
The contest between class lead
ers mentioned in these notes last
week is expected to magnify the
spiritual contact that a class leader
should manifest with his members
as we'll as reminding them Of their
financial duties. The value of such
a plan lies in it's inspiration for
your leadership.
Class No. Is mourns the loss of
Homer Smith, ST., one or It's men,
bers and also a staunch supporter
of the church.
A movement to organize a Mems
Club in st. Peter, for the benefit
of the church proper is under
way. A meeting to form such an
organization is called for 4 p. M,
Sunday evening, at st. Peter
church.
All men please attend. Such an
organization is very beneficial to
the church. The pastor, Rev.
Stewart, will attend Immediately
after quarterly meeting.

ear of the servant 0T the high
priest John 1910. He was zeal
GUS for the Lord, but it was zeal
without knowledge. Even in his
outward zeal for his Lord he made
a bungling job. If he had been in
downright earnest he would have
cut off the mans head instead Of
his ear. This is characteristic Of
much of the service rendered today
by Christians.
v. Following Jesus Afar OFF
". 54).
Christ's rebuke for taking the
sword and the awkward position in
which Peters act had placed him
caused him to follow Jesus afar off.
This rebuke widened the breach be-
tween Peter and his Lord. Follow
ing Jesus afar off got him into
further trouble.
VI. Seeking Comfort Among the
Lords Enemies ". 81.
This fire was built by those who
had come unsympathetically to wit
ness the crucifixion and even to
mock in this tragic hour. For
Christ's disciples to warm them
selves at the enemies fire, to get
comfort from the things prepared
for the satisfaction Of his enemies
is sinful. Peter not only tried to
get comfort by using that which the
enemy had prepared for themselves,
but he engaged In conversation with
the enemy and they that stood by
declared that his speech betrayed
him. Multitudes of protesting
Christians have grown cold while
sitting around the enemies fire. 1t
would be infinitely better to freeze
to death in Gethsemane than to
keep warm around the enemies fire.
VII. Open Denial wv. 68-72).
Step by step Peter went down
ward until the words Of a servant
girl provoked open and blasphemous
denial. Peters trouble began when
he shrank from the cross. It was
that shrinking which separates him
from contact with his Lord. Only
the one who has been in touch with
the Lord can backslide. Many Of
the so-called backsliders have never
been born again; they have simply
returned to their own way.

PILGRIM CHURCH NOTES

In spite of the cold wave, Sun
day morning services at Pilgrim
were we'll attended. The pastor
spoke from the subject, "The Value
of Opportunity" The message was
sincere, mastery, and we'll re-
ceived. Sunday was Sunday School
day. The Pastor incorporated an
exposition on the need of the
church's support of the Sunday
School. The Sunday School was
spoken of as the only real Chris
tan Training School. Parents and
adult members were urged to give
better support and cooperation to
the Sunday School in the future
than they have in the past. The
Mems Club which meets regularly
every Monday evening at 8 P. M.
has, through a special committee,
solicited a carload of supplies to be
used for relief in the far south on
the plantations. The committee
wishes to thank all who gave sup
port to the effort. Plans for an
early spring revival are well un-
der way. The services of DR.. R. L.
Brady of Detroit have been Sc
cured. He is one of the leading
evangelists in the Baptist denomi-
nation. The Social and Literary
Society will sponsor a Silver Tea

Never Too Cold to Snow

Since snow falls In the coolest
parts Of the world, it never gets
too cold to snow. It is a fact, how.
ever, that many of our heavy SHOWS
fall during milder periods Of winter
temperature. This, explains the
weather bureau, Is because most
rains or SHOWS come on the easter
" to southerly winds. Cold winds,
then, are from the wrong directions
to bring much snow and this prob
ably gave rise to the old saw

in common with all other institu-
tions has new problems to solve,
and more keen competition than
ever before. Our progressive Pas
tor, Rev. VIM. E. Guy and his ami
able wife, together with the loyal
officials and members of St. James,
have definitely decided to plan to
meet this rivalry without sacrific-
ing the principles of right and
Christianity.
At the A. M. service Sunday,
Jan. goth, Rev. VIM. E. Guy deliv-
cred a marvellous message of in
quiry and enlightenment pertaining
to the subject, "The Age Old
Search" Text-"That they might
know thee the only true God" John
1913. Admirable was the consensus
of opinion of all present. Those
who braved the extreme cold to at
tend the union service at 8 P. M.
listened to a rare treat. The st.
Paul Leisure Time Orchestra, 25
premier musicians under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Bernhard Anderson,
gave a program of high class Sc
lections seldom heard, in person,
without admission. Rev. VIM. E.
Guy and Rev. L. w. Harris gave
complimentary expressions of graf
itude and delight. This organiza-
ton is sponsored by the govern
ment relief administration.
The cleaning day banquet Fri
day night, Jan. 10, 1885, following
the millionaire wedding and finan-
cial drive of Dec. ID, 1884, was sue
cessful. The four bridal parties
and their guests sat down to
sumptuous repast, prepared and
served by the Federated clubs of
st. James. The following ladies
were in charge: Mines. Ida Mills,
president; Bette Jones, Bessie
Powell, Katheryn E. Moore, Mar
jorie Ward, Mrs. Matte Boyd, and
nine young Misses served. Mr..
Herman Cotton rendered a solo, &C
companied by Mrs. Bertha King.

Bethesda Baptist-Coming into
church last Sunday morning the
work done by the committee of
Bethesda women and men with
Mrs. Mamie Battles at the head
was very evident. Cushions had
been renovated, the floor had been
scrubbed and the windows hung
with curtains that some of the
women had laundered. All of this
preparation was in view of the ex-
pected revival that begins Sunday
with the Rev. A. W. Ross of Jeffer-
son City, Mo-, who comes to Bethes-
da to hold a two weeks revival.
Last Sunday visiting minister,
the Rev. Washington hailing from
Los Angeles, California, who had
sought an invitation to preach and
was invited to come, occupied the
pulpit. Cold weather reduced the
attendance considerably, but the
senior choir was out and singing
under it's assistant director, Mrs.
Margaret Washington, rendered
the regular musical accompaniment
to the service.

Faithful Friend

Jesus was faithful friend. His
loyalty to those whom he loved
never wavered. They might reject,
spurn and betray him, but he was
a friend who loved at all times. May
we. mediate long upon this exam
pie! Our friendships, which are
Gods best gifts to us, outside of his
own love, would be more noble and
,trong and helpful If we could
learn Christ's lesson of loyalty.

Use for Mussel Shells

Fresh water mussel shells are
used principally in the shell button
industry and when they are not
suitable for the manufacture of but
tons, they may, where they occur
in sufficient quantity, be marketed
for the manufacture of lime, stucco
and poultry grit. They also may be
spread over roads, as is done with
oyster shells In some sections.

Zion Baptist-The regular re-
porter for lions services was ill
last Sunday and unable to attend
church. Therefore the exercises
are not given in very great detail.
We learn that the attendance fell
but little on account of weather
conditions which is characteristic
of it's membership. Rev. H. w.
Bolts preached his usual effective
sermon. On Monday evening at
the church the installation of the
officials chosen for the church year
was conducted under the direction
of the pastor. Most of the old of
ficers were retained; there was an
addition to the deacons' board. The
Gospel Chorus, a group of women
singing under Mrs. Anna B. Lewis,
furnished the music, while the Of
ficers' Club served the refresh
ments.

TOPIC-How Jesus Is Denied Today.
A better statement Of the subject
would be "Peter's Downfall" From
the height Of fellowship with God
which Peter enjoyed when he con-
fessed that Jesus was the Messiah,
In Matthew 16, to the depth Of en-
phasizing a lie by means Of foul
oaths Is a long way, but the steps
were quickly taken, for the time
was short. The presentation of this
lesson should be done In such a
way as to be solemn warning to
Christians today. In order that we
may be saved from such a fall. let
US study carefully the steps in
Peters backsliding.
1.-over-weenlnu seIf.confidencs
wv 29-31).
Jesus had issued a solemn warn
Ing, even a prophecy, Of the back
sliding Of all the disciples. Peters
unwilingness to face the cross
alfenated him from Jesus, and
when apprised Of the fact that the
disciples would all forsake Jesus,
Peter declared that Jesus was mis-
taken, saying, although all shall
be offended, yet will not L" Our
condition is most perilous when we
are most sure Of our safety.
u. Sleeping at the Post Of Duty
Wv. 32-37).
Peter and two others were priv
ileged to be near to Jesus in the
hour Of his anguish. The favored
three were commanded to watch, but
In one short hour the very one who
was so confident Of his self-suff1.
cheney had fallen asleep instead Of
watching. The only way to escape
from backsliding is to watch. The
one who overrates himself under
rates the power Of the devil.
III. Neglect Of Prayer wv. 8S).
The legitimate inference from the
Lords words, watch and pray" is
that he had commanded them to pray
as well as to watch. The reason
there is so little prayer on the part
Of Christians is due to the fact that
there Is lack Of the sense Of need
Of Gods help.

THE PRISONERS FAMILY

Pathetic scenes are often observed
around court rooms, when the wives
and children of offenders hear the
evidence presented against husbands
and fathers. Then when the voice
of justice pronOunces its merited
verdict on the prisoner, it is a day
of tragedy for the little family.
Mrs. o. H. Coolidge, deputy of
public welfare for the State of Yer
mont, spoke in a recent address of
the hard lot of the prisoners family.
She told how they often suffer hard
ship, and she hoped their cases
would be thoroughly investigated, so
that they might not suffer too great
privations.
1t is one of the bitter tragedies of
life, that inevitably punishment
hurts the innocent as well as the
guilty. A girl may have married
some fellow with her heart full of
love, and with confidence that he
would make good. But if the evil in
fiuences of the world get hold of
him, if the lust of money seizes his
heart, or the desire to spend freely
without work, she sees her hopes
and visions gradually fade out. Then
some day her fabric of dreams
crashes about her ears. The sob
bing wife and fearful children suffer
for wrongs Of which they were not
guilty.
A Jail term puts stain on a man
which in the majority of cases is
never removed. Many prisoners Of
course have come out with deter
nination to lead better life, and

r0n MICH COLLEGE STUDY

DR.. S. S. Drury, rector of the IA
nous St. Paul Boys School of Con-
cord. N. H.. favors shorter college
course for boys. A host OF people
will agree with him. There seems
something unnatural in shutting a
modern boy up in an atmosphere OF
scholastic study for four years.
Practically, of course, these boys
are not shut up in any such way.
Their demand for real activity
breaks loose in fever of athletic
enthusiasm and running around the
country, which is not exactly getting
ready for life's earnest struggle. A
little less study of the Roman en-
perors and PHILOSOPHERS forgotten
the year after graduation, and closer
contact with every day life, should
develop more powerful personalities.

TINE TO BUY GIFTS

The Christmas buying season is
close upon us. People should con-
slider whether they are those some
what needless folks who never con-
slider their Christmas needs until
the stores are already thronged.
Or are they those shrewd and re-
sourceful ones who go at the holi-
day buying game at an early date,
and get the cream of the offerings
without discomfort to themselves or
others?
The holiday buying trade of 1885
will be the biggest the country has
seen for six years. That means
crowded stores, long lines at the
post-office stamp windows. delays in
delivery of gifts, and hurry, scurry
and worry.
Why do all these things under such
pressure of discomfort, besides MAX
ing trouble for other people? The
answer is that Now is the time to
buy Christmas stuff. People should
note down all gifts that must go to
Pa and Ma and the kids and Uncle
John and Aunt Susan. Then go out
and get this stuff now, mail it early,
with the notation do not open until
Christmas"
The folks who do that will really
enjoy the Christmas shopping. And
countless store and postal employees
will bless their kindness, and say
these good considerate friends de-
serve a special visit of Santa Claus
to themselves.
Some folks say they live from
hand to mouth, and can not spare
the money today for the needs of a
date a month away. May be so, but |
a lot of them could just as we'll spare !
that money today as they can the |
day before Christmas. If people |
have any money available for these
gifts, they should spend it now, and
eave the final days to those who
absolutely must wait until the last
minute.
