The condi tion of the roads was bad on ac count of the ice and slush, and from what we have been able to- learn, he was walking behind the wagon, when near Frehn's Bridge in Huntingdon county. Noticing the wagon beginning to skid, he ran forward to try to prevent its upsetting, when it toppled over on him. There is a stream at the side of the road, and whether he was thrown into the stream and drowned, , or whether he was strangled under the loaded wagon we do not know.

S..w'ork is of the most vital importance to the home, the church and the community, we would most ear nestly commend the efforts of the teachers and officers engaged in the work, the faithfulness of the pupils, and the cooperation of parents. At the same time it is no doubt fitting that your pure minds should . be stirred up by way of remembrance. . Attention is called to the fact that the Sabbath School , attend ance, despite the large percen tage of adults, is not, nearly up to the attendance ' of ' the public schools. Neither is the percen tage of attendance ' as large as it might be. , It is certain ,that if a diligent, a systematic study of the scriptures were more cpm- mon, it would make for the men tal, moral, and spiritual uplift of I mi. ' m our people. ,inia is a season oi the year when people frequently take time . to' think, and often make good resolutions. ' How would it do to spend a short time each week of 1916 in the study of the things that make for our eternal comfort and happiness? We have not thfr ability through lack of means and sparseness of population, to.' institute any ex tensive evangelistic campaign; but, let it be remembered that the great -body of our ministers, statesmen, and-prominent edu cators come largely from rural surroundings and that the phys- icial moral and spiritual 'stand ards of the city are lareelv form ed by the constant influx of coun try brain anoV' muscle. There fore, it is urged on all the friends of the Sabbath Schools tp increase their diligence. Let all be ear nest in increasing the attend: ance at our schools. . Pupils, teachers, . and parents can do much in thip line.- Organiyition can do much. Let all the dis tricts organize or reorganize and put their forces to work. , , V A serious lack noticed in all the schools visited k the small number of boys in their teens, and men in their vigorous man hood. The Manliest of Men was subject to his parents and well acquainted with the scriptures. It i3 manly to follow his example. It is to be hoped that the coming year will be one of increased in terest along the lines of scripture study and local missionary work in the way of seeking new mem bers, organizing Adult Bible Classes, and Home Department and Teachers Training study.'

The very, large number of citi zens df Pennsylvania who annu ally pay good money for the privilege of enjoying a few" days or at most a few weeks hunting game, shows the wide popular interest in this sport ff there were no fish, birds, or animals to kilL there would be no hunting: hence it follows, that if the sport is to continue, the supply of game must not be exhausted. Recog nizing this fact, the State has or ganized a Commission whose duty it is to protect game, and to do everything in its power to prop ogate game, and make it more plentiful. Just at this season of the. year, -when the ground is covered much of the tirpe with snow, and when birds, especially quail and wild turkeys, are not able to1 find sufficient food, it is important that artificial feed be placed where they can get it. The State is willing . to pay' for the feed if our sportsmen are willing to take the time to place it where the birds can get it. In a recent letter, Joseph Kalbf us, Secretary of the Game Commis sion says: . "I am satisfied that ar more good will come to the State and. to the Sportsmen through' the maintenance "and care' of our native, birds than can be secured in any other way, and with that end in view, I ask your Organization to help the officer in your district to' locate coveys of quail after the close of the season, bunches of wild turkeys or of grouse, so, that they may be fed during the coming storms of Winter. ;,Qur officers are instruct ed to. get in touch with your or organization regarding, this mat ter, and T hope yiulwill under- tand that we are trying to help- you and that in turn yo'u will do what you can tp help us. to help you. we win pay tor reed, but the limited funds at our command will not juBtify the employment of agents to feed the bird3. This eeding, if possible, must be done through organizations. Kindly let this office hear from you re garding this matter." .
