even these young hearts.
I hi n we had a short story with its
lesson of "overcoming with kindness W
and saving a tramp." j
The children will be busy with ,L*>
school now, and the "Story Hour" will
he discontinued until further notice
It has been to the Leader a pleas-
ant means of keeping in touch with
the children and a few of them I am
sure, have learned something from the
Geography and History talks, that
will help them to be loyal little Ameri-
cans.
We wish to thank the Advertiser for

The Society held its regular busi-

afternoon, .'1 :'$0 o'clock.
The President, Mrs. N. G. Fowler
and the Rec, Secretary, Mrs. W. A.
Haslcr were in their places ready for
reports, plans and suggestions for the
Society. These women are not afraid
to undertake difficult plans, and then
work them out; that is why they "ni t
over" so many things. At this meet-
ing Mrs. .1. (Jordan Bryson, the untir-
ing Chr. of the local work, and her
wide-awake committee paid $10(1 on
the debt they are struggling so hard
to get rid of. The Society is expect-
ing to entertain the District meeting
on or about the 20th of this month.
Some of the members are taking up
the work of the Sunday School Train-
ing Class, and the next Bible Study
Class will soon In-gin.
These cooler fall days call to re-
newed activity and why should not
our church work receive added inter-
est and enthusiasm?
We urge every woman in our church
and any others who are interested,
to enlist in this little army of Chris-
tians Soldiers and help in carrying to
the ends of the earth, the glad tidings
that have meant so much to us.

100 Years Hence
You often hear this said :
"Oh, what's the difference ?
One hundred years from
now things will be much the
same with all of us" . . . .
All rinlit. Admit it. By that time we will all be
out of the running. But how about 10 years from
Or 20 vears from now? Then what? Well, at
now
that time the person who is saving, and carefully de-
posits and invests his money, will be on "Kasy Street."
that's all. We can't well look forward a hundred
years, but the shorter period demands the attention of
all thoughtful people.
