A Puzzler
Behold I show you a mystery, A
few weeks ago the shortage of wa
ter in the city wa aocute. The city
pumps were working night and day
and atill there was not enough wa
ter to gD around. To get water
for a part of the time to the higher
sections of the city it was necessary
t shut off the lower sections of
the city at night. This relieved
matters. Finally all places possible
to shut off were closed at night and
the water pumped in the reservoir.
Now there is water f jr all and a
considerable surplus in the reser
voir. Why! Did the last rain fin
ally settle down to the well sources
or were there leaks in the svstem!

On Sunday, Feb. 15, "The Gospel
Harvest Field" is the subject for 11
a. m. In my introduction I expect

achievement of the English speak

what kind of a race our ancestors
were and the effect of the gospel
on them. The greatness of the
harvest field will be seen from the
fact that Chinaand her mighty mil
lions, Japan, Korea and a fewothtr
nations are white unto the harvest.
While the hearts of South America
and Central America, Afganistan
andjArabiaare not ripe for the har
vest. Wm. J.i Bryan's view of
foreign missions will be given.'
