He says the membership is sufficient but the contributions are not liberal enough, says the Towanda Republi can. He also attributed the recent fall ing off in attendance at the week day meeting to the "card party craze," in the throes of which Sayre is at the present time hope lessly struggling. He said that invitations were issued for evenings when there were services at the church, when the persons giving the whist party were fully aware that it would take many people from the church. Mr. Cady has no objection to the members of his parish playing whist if they desire, but be thinks it should , not be al lowed to interfere with the regular work of the church, and iu this he is entirely right. Lent is ou now, and for 40 days there will be no whist parties that will trouble the faithful, but in Mr. Cady's remarks there is muoh food for thought that can be take home to many church-goers outside of Sayre. Schaeffdr, Tba Teachers' Friend. State Superintendent of Public in struction N. C. Schaeffer is interesting himrelf actively in behalf of the minimum teachers salary bill, now pending before the Legislature. Cir cular letters bearing his signature have been received by educators in this town as follows: harrisburg, Feb. 27, igoj.-Dear Friend: The Minimum Teachers' Salary bill passed the House at $35 per month. Some predict its defeat in the Senate. Can you? without de lay,, wield any influence in its favor, either by peronal. interview or by letters lrom prominent teachers aud others, to the Senate from your dis trict? I urge immediate action, be cause no more important school work can be done at this time in our State. I learn that West ' Virginia has just raised the minimnm salary of teachers in that State from $30 to $35. If our bill were defeated in the Senate it would pe a disgrace to Pennsylvania. Yours trulv, N. C. SCHAEKFER. Our representative in the State Sen ate has declared himself in favor of the bill.
