and given of their time, energy and
pocket books to the laising of a fund
of 535,000,000. Every dollar of th«
money raised will be spent in mission¬
ary work, both at home and abroad,
ten million being turned back into the
upbuilding of churches, schools and
hospitals in the South. A large part of
this sum will go towards Increasing
th& salaries of the ministers of the ru

have been working against great diffi¬
culties in the matter of‘taking car* of

Because of the loyalty which Metho¬
dists everywhere have towards tfaedr

raised.

morning.”
“How did he strike you?”
“Said he'd left his change at home
1* his other trousers.”

something, and In the second place he
quit after he had «aid It."
A Queer Dependence.
"I think it la odd a ship must de¬
pend bo upon her anchor."
“Why so?”
"Because even If she parts with it
ah* still keeps her hold.”
One Exception.
