that they accomplished. They made
a-fairy scene of the school stage, and
bv so doing gave real pleasure to a

v.v.ithful performers.

Mrs. W. S. Brewster through whom
Trvon received her French orphan,
has been in France since February, in.
the interest of the fatherless children
of- France. She was received by
President Poincare, and by the Arch
bishop of Paris.
The French government put at her
disposals motion picture outfit and
she will bring home with her moving
pictures of the thousands of orphans
for which the society is caring.
" Several letters have been received
from the mother of litttle Leon Le-
vasseur for whom the town provided
for two years. They are the lettters
of a well educated, brave woman, but
one will never again take anything
but a mcst serious view of life. In
one lettetr she becomes eloquent over
the help which this country hos given
then and their children.
The second orphan for whom we
provided for one year is a pretty little
dark eyed girl. Her father was kill
ed at the age "of 26, the mother nowr
having to care for herself and child.

Major and Minor Prophets. ' n
The major prophets of the Old Testa
ment were Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel
and Daniel; The Old Testament books
contain their prophecies. The minor
prophets of the group of Old Testa
mentx writers from Hosea to Malachi
are so called because of the brevity of
their prophecies. Malachi1 was the last
of the minor prophets. -
