He emphasized God’s mercy and love, and urged all to imitate His kindnes» in treating our fellowmen. The speech was characteris tic of Mr. Johnson'» warm-hearted human sympathy. Mrs. Hattie Bates Beldin spoke of her connection with the old Mt. Scott. New», and of what an enterprising paper it was many years ago.

J. Allen Dunbar had charge the first two hour» with a Teacher Training and Study Class. He gave a very helpful lesson on pedagogy as applied to Sun day School Teaching, followed that by a review of the Book of Job, while per- baps th» most interesting part was the blackboard outline of the Gospel of Mark, which will tie the theme for the Sunday School lessons for the first part of the year. Those who were present united in a hearty vote of thanks to him, expresting the opinion that his lesson would tie of inestimable value in the coming year. After a short recess George H. Carr followed with a sermon on the tribula tion period covering the time between Christ’s Second and Third visits to earth, stating that it would occupy ’hree and a half years, and would be such a fearful time a» the world baa never yet known. About 11 :00 o'clock Miss Terrell, the Pastor, took charge of the meeting ami led a prayer and praise service which lasted well into the New Year. A most impressive sight was witness« I when the large company spread themselves in a circle which filled the whole church, and with joined hands sang “Blest Be the Tie that Binds.** Many declared that 1917 had been the happiest and most prosperous year they bad known, but all agreed that the mistakes had been many and that it would be the aims of all to profit by them and do better in 1918.

Mr. Bloyd, cashier of the Multnomah State Bank wishes it known that all Liberty Bonds, except the registered ones, have arrived and are ready for de livery. The Exception. **I understand,” said the foriegn statesman, “that you elect all your rulers.” “You have been sadly misinformed,” answered the American. “We don't elect our wives in that mauner.”—Ex- chi nge. consider changes in the railroad service lietween Portland and Seattle. Tues day tbe orders went into effect. Rail road crew» were astonished, every one gasped, but the plan worked. There are now only three trains daily between Portland and Seattle instead of six, running on a daylight schedule of seven hour». No express, no diner, no sleep er, no observation car. One express train leaving ten o’clock at night bandies all the express. Word of these changes was brought to Lents by C. C. Baiker an agent of the Northern Express stationed at American Ijike wbo came borne New Year’» day to »pend at out 36 hour» with hi» family on 91st St. These changes are probably the most • weeping and most suddenly executed order» ever put into force in the knowledge of local railroad men. To an outsider they seem based on tbe sound est of common sense and the results from an economy standpoint are tremendous. With similar reforms in stituted all over the United States the country will soon realize tbe benefit of having Uncle on the job.

And all that we hold dear Obedient to your summons We proudly answer “Here.” We want to gather in the Huns And hear tbe Kaiser roar; We’re coming Woodrow Wilson, A MILLION SAMMIES MORE! Could you look acroea the mountains And o’er the great divide. You’d see the scores of Sammy Boys March on with soldier stride! From every town and hamle. You'd hear the bugles blow To cheer the boys as they go by Resolved to fight the foe. Another million Sammy Boys Will make tire Kaiser sore— We’re coming, Woodrow Wilson A MILLION SAMMIES MORE! From bill and plain and valley, On every road and lane, There come the sturdy farmer boys With love that ne’er will wane! They fling OLD GLORY to the breeze, It’s folds will e'er be free 1 And as they march, they proudly sing, “My COUNTRY, ‘tie of thee!” And mourning groups stand weeping At every cottage door; We’re coming, Woodrow Wilson, A MILLION SAMMIES MORE! Y’ou have called us and we’re coming, We’re loyal, we are true, We’ll lay us down for Freedom’s saxe. ‘Neath our Red, White, and Blue; Or from the Kaiser’s bloody band We’ll wrench the murderous blade, And in the face of other foes Its fragments we’ll parade, Oh I how a million husky lads Will make the Kaiser roar!

They adjourned with the blow ing of the whistles at midnight amid the cordial exchange of New Year wishes. MILTON KATZKY ENTERTAINS. A glance at the list of the guests at Milton Katzky’s Watch Night Party would lead one to suppose that Milton was either fond of, or popular with the ladies. Of course maybe the ladies were Miss Gertrude’s friends, undoubtedly Milton would say so, but his esteemed father assured us the party was Milton’s. Let’s see, Mrs. Ellis was there with her two daughters, Francis and Victoria.. Mrs. Darnall was also present #auZ Genevieve Graham, and Mabel Chj^lFn- son. Eddie 8tout, Alfy Nygaanfi Elliot Benjamin, and Wellington Plimpton supplied the masculine element.
