Riding Chickens “I have been instructed by the Village Council to enforce the ordi nance against chickens running at large and riding bicycles on the side walk.”—Alberta Advocate. WITH THE CHURCHES Tithing: Tablets. Take As Needed By D. H. Tuttle 1. Have you always had room for the blessings God poured out for you? Do you say yes? Well then you do not pay tithes, for the blessing that follows tithe paying is an uncon tainable one; there is “not room enough to receive it.” Malachi 3:10; Luke 6:38. 2. “Mercy drops round us are fall ing, but for the showers we plead.” Your pleading is without power; put tithe-paying back of your pleadings and the windows of heaven will open, and the “showers of blessings” de scend instead of your little drizzles that would not be sufficient to dampen Gideon’s fleece. We need spiritual floods. See Gen. 7:11. 3. Have you been complaining about “short crops?” • nave you sown mucn ana orougnt in little?” Have floods or drought disappointed your covetous dreams? Have blasting, mildew, or hail hurt? Have army worms, potato bugs and boll weevil, etc., devoured your crops? Has the cholera gotten your hogs, or the murrain your cattle? Have you been trying to whip out the judgme’ts of Almighty God with “paris-green” and other human inventions ? Quit your foolish experimenting with such, and to turn to God with whom there is “sure-cure” through obedience to His word. “Prove me now herewith” (that is by paying tithes) “saith the Lord, and I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not de stroy the fruits of your ground.” Malachi 3:11. Can anything be more definite. Farmers, stock-raisers, and fruit-growers, this- truth tablet is for you. Take it and find a blessing. 4. Why bring in the tithes ? Answer: “That there may be meat in my house.” Bring all the tithes. Everybody tithe everything and quit quizzing your pastor and quibbling with one another about the “net” or “gross” receipts. You would have neither but for God’s extravagent for bearance with you. Why Does God Need Meat In His House? Answer: Because (1) Starving souls come there for the bread of life. John 6: 48-51. (2) Weak and troubled souls may come and find food that /strengthens them to endure unto the end. James 1: 12.' .(3) That babes in Christ may find the “sincere milk of the word and grow thereby.” 1 Peter 2: 2. (4) ■’’hat G'od’s harvesters may grow -.a.. bile- feeding on the fruits of the spirit, love, joy, peace, etc. John 4: 34. For both financial and spiritual prosperity there is nothing (better than the above tablets. Remember you are always welcome at the Me thodist church.—D. H. Tuttle pastor. Episcopal Church Services at the Episcopal church on Sunday morning at eleven o’clock and at night at seven o’clock. At present attempts are being made to enforce the old “blue law” by legis lative measures so as to have stricter observance of the Sabath day. Is this method the correct one? How should the Sabbath be observed ? If it is proper to ride on the Sabbath why is it improper to sail? Why these distinctions? These questions will be discussed by the rector in the morning sermon. Mark: 2:27. Subject night service—“What is it that makes life true and lasting ? ” Sunday school at ten A. M. Mem bers of the Bible class are requested tc be present.

William Thompson who played the leading role, “Freckles, a plucky waif,” acted the part well, and the support he received from the cast was good. Kathyrn Cameron, essay ing “Mrs. Duncan,” also acquitted her self well, and the “Swamp Angel”, May E. Kirby, was delightfully pre sented. “Black Jack” by D. P. Dick inson, and “Duncan,” by Harry Dick erson, were also good. The play, as protrayed last night, follows the story of Gene Stratton Porter closely, and the homeless waif enlists the sympathy of the audience.
