C, Dec. 3. At the regular morning service in West Mar ket Street Methodist Church Sun day instead of his sermon, the pastor, Rev. Dr. G. H. Detwiler read a most in teresting report of the congregation's work during the year. Despite the accessions to congrega tions established at Spring Garden, Centenary and Proximity churches, the net increase of West Market was 11. There are over 900 members and the church raised $12,843.90 during the year for all purposes. The church and parsonage is worth $80,000 and there is no debt. Owing to great develop ment of the Sunday school, the erection of an additional building as an annex to the present Sunday school room to cost $5,000 was recommended. The Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the church numbers 300 members and over $2,000 was contributed by them during the year towards foreign missions and to the support of two missionaries. The Home Mission Society contrib uted $1,000 during the year besides ex pending considerable sums in local mis sionary and charitable work. The total amount raised by these two societies aggregate $4,290 which is the largest fund raised by any like con gregation societies in the Western North Carolina Conference. This is an increase here over last year of $700, $500 of which was donat ed to supplementing salaries of minis ters of the three auxiliary churches of the city.

Suffice it to say none were dis appointed. The play was presented in great style and many of Davidson's fairest daughters have made a reputa tion that were it not for the fact that they cannot be spared in Davidson would be claimed at once by the stage. Among those who created furors by their fine rendering of their parts, and those destined to be stars of the first magnitude, were Miss Lila Glascow, Miss Jean Bupuy, Miss Bacon, Mrs. Mattox, Miss Hattie Thompson, Miss jMary Young and Mrs. Worth. A speech mat was tne nit or tne evening, irom an oratorical standpoint was made by the author of the play just before the rise of the curtain for the first act.

Why should a man kick because he has his ups and downs? The umbrella doesn't. A sound argument doesn't always make the most noise. If anyone requies a clear head it is the teacher of mathematics. He must reason in the abstract as it were, and full concentration of mind is neces sary if correct results are to be forth coming. An Ohio man writes: , , "I am a teacher of mathematics and for 15 years prior to four years ago, I either took lunch composed of cold sandwiches, pickles, etc., to school or hurried home and quickly ate a hot dinner. "The result was I went to my after noon work feeling heavy, dull of brain and generally out of sorts. Finally I learned about Grape-Nuts and began to use it for my noon-day lunch. "From the first I experienced a great change for the better. The heavy, unpleasant feeling and sour stomach caused by the former diet, disappear ed. The drowsy languor and disincli nation to work soon gave way to a brightness and vim in my afternoon work, a feeling entirely new to me. "My brain responded promptly to the requirements put upon it, and what is ot more importance, tne results have been lasting and more satisfac tory, the longer I have used Grape Nuts 33 a. food. "My wife had been suffering from weak stomach accompanied by sick headaches nearly all her life. She is invariably relievd of these when she sticks to Grape-Nuts, either eaten dry or with milk. Her stomach has grad ually grown stronger and her head aches less frequent since she began to eat Grape-Nuts." '"'There's a Rea son." Name given by Postum Co., Hattie Creek, Mich.
