With feelings mingled thankful

ardship; with thanks to those vho
have made their work of good cheer

jit was through that generosity they
t have been able to extend their scope
to greater usefulness. To their eff
orts this Christmas, there shou'd go
the plaudit of "Well Done." They
have shown themselves good and
faithful servants.
It seems peculiarly fitting that this
group of noble Christian workers
should at the organization's twenty
fifth year of existence in our midst,
be more active and diligent in this
admirable work of relieving the wants
of the poor in our city, than thsy have
ever been. .,:-' .-
Thee hahges of the shifting years
have 'attended the persoriel of this
body, but the dynamic spirit of help
ful service to God's less fortunate
beings, has been a growing passion.
During the holiday season just past,
when" the Christmas spirit was abroad
in the lands, the King's Daughters
went abroad with it, carrying food
in ample baskets to families who were
hungry, helping to carry Christmas
trees of good cheer to longing chil
dren, meeting doctor bills and the ex
pense of medicine and trained nurse
for the worthy needy, taking fuel to
brighten the hearthstones of destitute
homes, giving of themselves in the
spirit of Christ, This work of true
giving was made possible through the
response made to the recent appeal in
the columns of this paper. One big-
hearted man in town sent his person

King's Daughters to express their
very sincere thanks. .

British Minister to Mexico Moved.
Washington, Jan. 5. The announce
ment from London today that Great
Britain is about to transfer Sir Lionel
Carden, its minister nt the City of
Mexico, was regarded by official Wash
ington aSSa substantial manifestation
of the purpose of the British Govern
ment to remove every obstruction to
the execution of President Wilson's
pians for dealing with the Mexican
situation. At the State Department
it was denied that the United States
had made any protest to the British
Foreign Office against acts or utter

Advanced Step Was Taken by Meth-

progressive ideas advanced. One was
that announcement by the pastor.
Rev. John W. Moore, of a meeting at
which a new society is to be organiz
ed, the main and only real business
of which will be the raising of money
to be used in the building of a new
church. The other was a statement of
Prof. A. T. Allen, chairman of the
board of stewards in which he urged
before the congregation the necessity
of providing salaries for the employ
ment of teachers in the primary de
partment of the Sunday school. This
is a new idea in this section and has
