Kweiteh, Koram, China. I.ast week brother G. P., pastor Dour, his wife and I went to Esueh ( wfu to help in the organizing of a Baptist church in that large city, and we came away more thankful than ever that a little over two years ago t • Chinese association of our interior mission decided to open their first home mission work in that place, jlr. Fang, a member of our Kweiteh church since 1900, was chosen as the (vangelist there and so we have felt i( very close interest and relationship in the work from its start. The Southern Presbyterians were kind enough to sell us a place they ' had Um d for a chapel and dwelling for their evangelist for some years at a very reasonable price. That is paid for now, and Mr. Fang’s salary is suppl.ed by contribution from the Chinese. We had three days meetings and the chapel was full at each service. Quire a bit of time was put in examining candidates for baptism, and Sunday morning, in a very quiet, impressive manner, Pastor Dong buried 18 in the v. atory grave that has been prepared in the little chapel—the first ordi nance of this kind ever to have been witnessed in this large city, the center of two very important railway lines. The Presbyterian pastor a fine young Chinese man came over to witness the ordinance for his first time also. This was between seven and eight o’clock a. m. and at noon my brother preach ed in the church. Pastor Dong lead the articles of faith and asked the ones present if they approved of them, and when we took account of the ones there who had been baptized and want- j <d to enter into the organization The ’ young man who keeps the Y. M. C. A. rooms for missionaries to stop in when passing through, a very fine Christian from Shhntung was one. Pastor Yin who has had several years teaching in Bible school, but is now m business in this city was another. The wife and mother-in-law of the agent for the Standard Oil company there from Hupeh were others. The voungest one baptized was 12. his father an<^ mother weer baptized at the same time. The oldest was 67 and there were three couples among the number baptized. There was also a grown boy who goes by the name of “Simpleton” all the time and who ha hot been bright enough to answer or dinary questions formerly, and yet he answered, as we felt b ythe Holy Spirit’s help, all the questions put to him for baptism. Monday morning early as we were gathered for family prayers, a card WM presented and two young men! “>"ti ar Seezotiaun came in to learn something of the work there and told us of one Chinese agent for Singer Sewing machine who has contributed | $ 1.>0.000 to Christian work in that province. Pray that such home mis-1 sion work may grow in this land. ATTIE T. BOSTICK.

UNION TRUST COMPANY SHELBY — LATTIMORE — LAWNDALE — FALLSTON BANKING - INSURANCE — TRUSTS. “IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH.*' In July Of 1816 There Wa* Snow I London.—Reports of unreasonable cold in the eastern United States, ab normal rains and hail storms in Eu ■ rope and the often expressed belief that the weather is changing with; the years have sent investigators i back to records of 1816, “the year without a summer.' It was not until forty years later I thnt an official weather bureau was established here, hut authentic re cords of the summerless year are available in the South Kensington meteorological office. It is revealed that not only was 1816 remarkable : for coldness which involved the dis | covery of snow on the hilltops in i July, hut nlso for a whirlwind in Lon don and an earthquake in Scotland,! rare occurrences in the British Isles. | The whirlwind is mentioned in an excerpt from n letter written in Lon don on June 26, 1816. In the Kendal Chronicle o' July 4 appears this item:—“A traveler who visited the top of Holvellyn this day l brought to the office a lump of snow. He said that he saw three or four patches of varying extent.” On the same date the British news paner Public Ledger reported :-~‘On a hi)l Sir A. Ramsey, of the Parish of | Fettercaiin, found remnants of a j patch of snow that measured five feet deep and eighty yards in circumfer-i cnee.” I “If you had a horse that you want-1 led to sell, you would not go about j town talking constantly about its bad points,’ says Heinie Mitchell. “If you did you wouldn't he likely to sell j it. WhBt would you think,” points out 'the Rice Lake (Wis.) Chronotype, “of a merchant out in front of his store telling all passers that his goods were shoddy and not worth much? You would probably say he is a fool, and you would he right. Vita Mine By Pat McBraver You certainly have seductive ways and I love your glad arrays For you’re constant thru the days, Vitamine. E’en at the breakfast table you’re a joy and that's no fable—and Your love is ever stable, Vita-mine. No matter where I lunch you're al ways in the bunch and you give The meal real punch, Vita-mine.

Boys Prefer Girls That Do Not “Pet” Indulxc In Petting Themselves Rut Think Petting By Girin May In jure Character, Report New York.—Boys prefer the girl who does not “pet,’ although admit ting that (hey themselves indulge. They are, however, at times inclined to blame their girl friends for encour aging petting and necking. This was revealed in data just com piled by* the National Council of the Young Men’s Christian association, following a world-wide survey of boy attitudes in preparation for the World’s conference at Helsingfors, Finland, in August. In general, according to the discus sion summaries, boys’ standards are high. Boys feel that indulgence in petting is detrimental to character and they propose that such problems affecting both sexes “should be work ed out by boys and girls together.’’ This plan of joint discussions was followed in a few localities. Opinions Voiced Groups of boys called together in more than 100 communities to discuss various youth problems brought out such comments as these: If a fellow wants a hot date he gets it. and if he wants a clean date he gets it. We would not like to have a wife whom everyone has pawed over. Smoking and profanity are both the results of trying io show off. Why don't the girls object to pet ting? Why do they seem to like it. They expect us to take the initia tive to stop it, complained one young ster. In Brooklyn, during a joint discus sion for boys and girls averaging 17 years of age, it was decided that to check the habit of petting self-con trol was necessary on both sides. The bovs admitted that sometimes they deliberately attempt to “take liber ties," while the girls confessed that they permit too many liberties and give the impression that they “expect to be petted.” Home Criticised “Many fellows act questionably by bringing liquor to dances, and the girls are too anxious to show off by want ing to smoke," the boys declared. Other discussions throughout the country revealed a feeling that home is a ylace of neglect and unsympa thetic restraint and that in school the boy is treated "too much like u baby.’ Wouldn’t it be nice if we were al ways as nice as we sometimes are? Girls will be girls even though the , new bobs made they look like boys. World's greatest shoe value is when * you shoo the flies off the dinnei i table.
