Report of the board of Apvooatk to August 31, managers of the ErwoiiTH Received from advertising Received srom subscription 12.50 $10.50 Paid for printing $19.00 Paid for mailing .05 Paid for treasurers recerd 30 llalance on hand 21.15 $40.50 Some sensitive poor people can occasionally be found who fail to attend church because they cannot dress as well as others. They may not bo dressed as poorly as they imagine, or others may not be dressed as georgeously as they imagine, nor may others notice the inferior dress of the poor as much as the poor themselves, still there is room for care on the part of the better-to-do people, as to this matter. The subject may not apply here as in larger cities, yet, one occasionally observes its presence even here.

Those most subject to give offence are careless maidens who often grieve those of their own age because of less georgeous apparel. A little, more consideration for the circumstances of others will stop the offence, though it may also require a little more common sense or even some better breeding. On the other hand, let poor people who do the best they can, maintain a legitimate self-esteem, remembering that clothing does not make the man, and that thoughtful people may see in hem more moral worth than in the offending well-dressed giddy belle. Let them recall the old teaching of St. James in the second chapter of his Epistle.

In it there is instruction for the offender, and consolation for the offended. WE TAKE TOO MUCH FOR CHANTED.

S. superintendent will find some one for our class, hence we allow any trilling excuse to keep us away; that people will be attracted to the, church in some way, therefore we do not exert ourselves to speak an inviting word to any body during the week; that the (superintendent can make an interesting Sunday school, and that our children will be instructed for church membership and a christ ian life by the S. S. teacher, therefore we pay no attention to our children outside the Sunday School, or lend our presence to the work it does; that reform matters will be promulgated by "the people" or by some society, hence tve have no part in the effort. We lake it, for granted that the church will be established and people saved by a revival or by the pastor; we take it for granted that the official board can conduct all the affairs of the church, so we do not make any in quiry into tint matter or we even object when such matters are brought before the public congregation.
