" ft An excellently prepared paper show ing the work of the Epworth league In the Simpson Methodist Episcopal church' vus read last Sunday evening hy the president, Miss llnchel Jones, at tho league anniversary service. The paper was as follows: Tho plan of work for tho Kpworth league represents a wheel, with each department aa one of Us spokes and tho cabinet at tho hub. If one Bpoke of a wheel Is broken, tho wheel is disfigured, so If ono department refuses to work, tho wholo plan Is marred. Hut I will at tempt -to show you that In our chapter nf least, tho "wheel Is always presentable and In Rood working order. During tho year spiritual meetings have been held evety Sunday evening under the direction of tho department of spirit ual work. This committee select tho lenders for 1ho Sunday evening meet ings and assign them their topics. Tho topics themselves aro sent to us from tho head olllce at Chicago. Tho commit tee report every one as ready nnd will ing to do their part, so that no dllll culty In tho way of selecting lenders oc curs. X'nder tho second department of our work, mercy nnd help, comes tho charlt- nblo work, nnd whllo we do not let the wholo responsibility of being good by " doing good, rest on tho members of this committee, still In order to Have sys tematic' giving, they stand at tho head of all tho benevolences connected with our society. One-tenth of all money which comes to us l) given to this department to aid them In their work of caring for tho poor and distressed. They have dur ing the past six months mado calls on eighteen sick persons, providing bouquets and 'potted plants for a number of them, have given away four quilts and made nnd given away a number of garments. Four families havo been furnished with provisions, who would otheiwlsc have gone, hungry. But while wo aro attending to the spiritual sldo of our natures, we are mindful of tho fact that wo must nil de velop our God given mental powers, In order that wo may more effectively per form our nlloglenco to our Master. So wo havo a literary department, under whoso guldnnco literary meetings are held every two weuks. At these meet ings wo have an average attendance of twenty-live members, all of whom are Interested workers. We uro at present studying two books from the Kpworth Rending course, namely, "A Vision of Christ Through the Poets," "Torch Ucarers of Christendom," tho study of which wo llnd very prolltable. Kach one is expected to take some p.irt, and hero again wo llnd that cheerfulness that char acterizes every department of our work. Neither Is the social Instinct neglected, for In order to lend a hand In the true Kplrlt, we must lend n friendly hand, wo must cultivato friendliness or tho social nature. Under the supervision of the du- partment of soclnl work, a number of homo Socials, at tho homes of our mem bers, havo been successfully conducted; a reception was given to tho old folks which proved so great a success that we are tempted to repeat It In tho near future; another reception was given to new converts; nnd last month tho anlmo toscopo exhibition given, which netted us about $.'i0. Besides this department furnishes nil flowers for tho pulpit nnd I'm stiro you will all agree with me in saying, "Well dono" to tills part of our chapter. Our secretary nnd her special commit tee attends to all tho correspondence, keeping us In touch at all times with the general work of the leaguo qutslclo of our own chapter. She also takes cureful min utes of nil tho business and special meet ings, and attends to tho enrollment of now members, etc. Our department of finance, always show s an encouraging re port. At present tho report shows us that during the year, dating from July, '9G, wo havo paid over to tho church treasurer for tho liquidation of the mort gago tho sum of $07.92, and that we still havo in our treasury $j2.m, with which wo aro going to send two delegates to tho international convention, to bo held nt Toronto, Canada, on July 15, '07, fully conlldcnt, that our money will bo thus wisely spent.

Now Is the season to lay the founda tion for future health nnd strength. The corner stones of good health aro complete digestion, sound sleep, pure blood and a perfectly nourished ner vous system, Tho wonderful success of Paine's cel ery compound In making people well and keeping them so, hag always been accounted for by physicians by its ex traordinary power of nourishing and regulating all of these functions.
