One month ago we came here and began work among these good people. They have received us with open arms and loving hearts, Our table has been abundantly supplied with fruit and vegetables and our hearts cheered and gladdened by their hearty reception and words of encouragement and appreciation. We did not oome among strangers. Ten years ago we served the St. Stephen congre gation and some years earlier the Mt. Olive congregation also. We, nevertheless, found much change since those years. The St. Ste phen congregation has built a magnificent church building since then, and the Mt. Olive people have improved and beautified their grounds very much. The older people do not seem to have changed much, but the younger people have grown up to man hood and womanhood. We are glad to see them all taking their places in the work of the congre gations. "I have written to you, young men, because you are strong." On the first Sunday of Septem ber, the St. Stephen Sunday School held their children's day service. It was a glad anH joy ous day for the new pastor. A greeting by the children. God bless them, is the best greeting a pastor ever had. The service was most creditably rendered, and was highly enjoyed by the large congregation present. The offerings, which went to Foreign Missions, amounted to nearly $24.00. On the 4th Sunday, the Mt. Olive congregation celebra ted their annual Harvest Home service. It was a splendid and nappy service. The church was decorated with the fruits of the farm and garden, and the altar piled high with the first fruits of the harvest. These were all afterwards given to their priest. The offerings were for a church improvement fund, and amount ed to $33.36. We held our com munion services for these people on the 2rd and 3rd Sundays. We thank God and take courage. E. J. Sox. Mt.

Loos Expresses Appreciation for Help Secured Through Navy ' Department. In my card of thanks in Jast week's issue of The Democrat, I inadvertently omitted mention ing the great assistance rendered me by Mr. Howard A.

He advised me to cable the money through the Treasury Department; he indorsed mv cashier's check for me after the banks had all closed, and if be had not done ao, I would have been compelled to remain over until Monday; he got the money for me from the Dittburaing office of the Navy Department; he then accompanied me to the office of the Treasury of the United States and personally vouched for me; ten days later he requested the Consular Bureau to send a second telegram, which resulted in our Consul at Patraa locating Mrs. Lazos and deliver ing to her the money Mr, Banks had helped me secure, and which I had deposited, at Mr. Banks' suggestion, with the U. S. Treas urer. For the many kindnesses shown me by Mr. Banks, I want to extend my most sincere grati tude.
