CIIURC1IEQ
We are consistent - when ou
conduct corresponds to our' pro
fession. We are unwise' and in
consistent when our practice does
no accord with what we profess
and believe, There are fonr
things which we- all profess to
believe and doelieve: viz. that
there is a God, that the Bible is
God's book:, that we have immor
tal souls, and that we all must
die. - V,;,;;.;- .'.V
To attend church on Sunday
is certainly consistent with these
great facts, which we all admit.
Not to attend church is surely
unwise'and unjustifyable since
these v things are realities.
Thoughtlessness, indolence, or
some other form of self indul
gence, force of habft and the ex
ample of others may . lead to the
inconsistent folly of staying away
from church. ' We may not now
realize the great mistake, but
some day we' will wonder how
we could have believed their
great feast and fail to attend
church regularly.

tess to the club and a few friends

bles for the game of dominos were
placed in two of the hostess' re
ception rooms of her private suite
at the El wood, where Mrs. Cook
assisted by Mrs. E. T. Robinson,
most graciously received the
guests. The attractive apart
ments, the genial and cordial
hostess and the game which is so
popular as to almost be a facsina
tion, all went to fill the afternoon
with pleasure, a pleasure which
was enterspersed with another
pleasure, which was equally as
great the gathering round the
table in the dining room where
the home banquets are served
and where on the occasion a most
elegant and delicious luncheon
was served. The tall stalks of
hyacinths with their numerous
pink bells lent fragrance and
beauty to the many courses in
which the same color predomin
ated. The favors were fragil
china and silver bon-bon dishes
of odd shape. After the lunch
eon the rubbers were played and
the club prize, a handsome hand
painted cake plate, presented to
Mrs. Dee Pollock and the visitors
prize, a crystle candle stick with
