were ilrs. J. il. Coleman of

prepared was carried out. The "model
missionary meeting" by the chil­
tion celebrated the Lord's Supper on
October 11, 1914. Preceding the Communion
two weeks of evangelistic services
were conducted. Splendid audiences
attended each evening. Preparations
began weeks before in prayer
and personal work. The results were
well worth while. The Christian people
were revived, ilany made a new
start in the Christian life. A number
were led to confess Christ, eight
new members were added to the
church, two adults were baptized, others
may follow. Rev. J. D. Edgar, ot
Stafford, Kansas, was the preacher.
He is at home in this kind of work.
.\ot only is he a strong preacher, but
he is wonderfully effective as a personal
worker.
The Winchester, Ivansas, congregation
has for the past three months,
had in the field a Gospel team which
has been doing remarkably successful
work. The men have not only
been set on fire themselves, but have
led a goodly number to accept of
Jesus Christ. The work is carried
on mostly on Sabbath afternoons at
neighboring school houses, at one of
which members of the congregation
have conducted a Sabbath School.

The little stream, with its gentle and artistic accompaniments,
is a kin-fl of microscopic masterpiece
that while inviting our closest scrutiny, defies
it. It presents us an alluring invitation to
fellowship, all the while beguiling us with a
beauty that is born of mystery and silence. The
nerves of a tired man * * * will find more
recreating rest in a little, vivacious stream that
lures him with rod and creel down its noisy and
shady length, than in any of the ordinary diver
sions sought by the weary.—William Chalmers |
