WELL ATTENDED SUNDAY
The annual C. W. B. M. day was
observed by the Woman's Missionary
SiKMety of the Christian church Many
of the church people of Beaver were
in attendance and given an entertain
ins and instructive program.
The society wishes i« thank Rev,
Butler and the congregation of the M.
E. church for their co-operation and
attendance in a body and trcst they
were benefitted.
The service opened by all singing
'All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name"
followed by invocation by Rev. Butler.
Thirteen little girls of the Mission
band, all in white, gave the scripture
lesson, then sang "Bring Them In" in
i very impressive way, giving it a
deeper meaning to them and many
others.
Pauline Barnes from the Juniors,
gave a reading in which whs given the
prayer of heathen children for light.
'When Will Our Turn Come?"
Two intermediate boys, Guy Quinn
and Albert Brown, gave special music
on the violin.
The inspirational theme <>f tin
evening "Opportunity for Service" a
carefully prepared number, was deliv-
ered by Mrs. Ford. As the needs of
superstitious heathen people were
brought before us, and theri appeal to
enlightened Christian America for a
helping hand, we were made to realize
the need of our deeper consecration of
self, of time and ot means to hasten
Christ's coming by sending his gospel
to every creature.
All were very much interested in
how Aunt Susan had the scales re-
moved from her eyes and became the
treasurer and the chief promoter of
the Cedricville Missionary society.
This leaflet "The Conversion of Aunt
Susan to Missions" was given by Mrs.
Perkins in her splendid delivery.
"Doing His Will" a solo by Mrs. W.
T. Quinn, voiced the sentiments of the
sympathetic listeners to "Say what He
wants me to say, keep still while He
speaks, I'll go where He wants me to
go."
Mrs. Fickel in her usual able man-
ner, described some of the work car-
ried on by the women in both foreign
and home mission fields. Numbers of
evangelists, teachers, doctors, engin-
eers, agriculturists, carpenters, social
service workers, printers, nurses, are
in the work and mapy more are need-
ed. Mission stations, churches, school
Bible schools, hospitals, dispenaries,
orphanages, industi*ial homes, leper
colonies and Bible women are main-
tained in many parts of the worki.
The reports of the past year show
a larger work done than any of the
previous forty-six years since enter-
ing the work.
Miss Carrie Smith gave one of her
splendid readings "Thanksgiving Ann
This as usual was very much appre-
ciated and led many to thinking of
Systematics" in giving to the Lord.
The Bible says "Give and it shall be
given unto you, good measure, pressed
down; shaken together and running
over." Are we afraid to take God at
His word?
The Thirteen Little Light Bearers
were given a recognition service. Thgy
are the little ones who are to young
to work in the mission band. Every
woman in the society enrolled her lit-
tle folks in this department. Mrs. B.
G. Brown very efficiently conducted
this touching serviec for the babies.
The very appropriate words of ap-
peal from Prof. Andrew for all to
have a small part in sending the light
of Christ to all creation met with a
very generous offering from the con-
gregation.
After singing "Praise God from
Whom All Blessings Flow", and be-
ng dismissed with a prayer by W. B.
Hanley all went away feeling the
evening's program a success.

P. T. A. DISCUSSES HOW TO
KEEP THE CHILD IN SCHOOL
The Parent-Teachers' Association
meeting at hte Methodist church Fri
duy night discussed the problem of
keeping the boy and girl in school. K.
If. Loofbourrow who was scheduled
to discus that subject from the legal
point of view wus out of town m> a
general discussion was indulged in by
both parent* and teachers. The par-
ents present voiced their desire and
intension of keeping the youngsters
in school at any price. It was gen-
erally agreed that a sympathetic un-
derstanding with the child and an ut-
titude of !>elief in the teachers' good
judgment on the part of the parent
would help solve the problem, while
th# teacher "has the job of making
school interesting and helping each
student to find his level there.
Miss Marion Coles and Moita Davis
entertained th eaudience with readings
Misses Flossie Sullen and Vesta* carter
sang a duet. A piano duet was given
by Mesdamcs Loofbourrow and Stran-
athan.
This is the fir t «>f the parent
Teacheis meetings that we have at-
tended and we were impressed with
the value they have in helping the
parent and the teacher to work toge-
ther on the same problem—The Edu-
cation of Beaver's Young America.
FARM BUREAU NEWS
Last week we stated the member-
ship of the Farm Bureau was over
400,000 and before the article reached
the press it was learned that there
were over 800,000 and now there are
over 1,000,000 members.
From the sidelines it seems to us
that the mission of the farm bureau
is to teach and persuade not to dicker
and trade; to foster and aid co-opera-
tive efforts that the fai'mers may de-
sire, but not to take-over these enter-
prises.
If the farm bureau stands for edu-
cation and for helpfulness in rural
life, it will necessarily aid in the for-
mation of co-operative livestock ship-
ping associations, eleyators, Farmers'
Union stores, Equity exchanges and
so on, but will not go in and take the
place of any of these established or-
ganizations in the najne of the farm
bureau.
Those organizations that have long
been in the mercantile business know
how to run stores. Let them have the
job.
The great problem before the farm-
er today is not to learn how to pro-
duce more, but to market what he has
produced.
As it is today he takes what he has
to sell to town and asks the other
fellow what he will give for it and
when he has to buy again he must ask
what you will take.
If the fruit growers of California
can solve this problem by organiza-
tion, which they have done, why can-
not the farmers in general do the
same thing?
The American Farm Bureau Feder-
ation makes a natfonal appeal to each
and every sane farmer, who, recog-
nizes that something is wrong with
the business of farming is willing to
become a part of an organization with
a program of such constructive mag-
nitude.
