Fountain, who is farming CORRESPONDENCE g KhV. C R. Lowe. "I just kind 'o thought he'd like to know it, and so I'll tell it so it will he passed on to him," said a lady in the car the other day. And it has been passed on to him. She was speaking of friends who find it impossible, for various reasons, to come to either of the churches, hut who read and enjoy tho weekly church notes. It comes to me every little while that some read and are benefited by our paragraphs whom we do not know. This particular woman in question lives quite out of our territory, there is no church that she can attend or send the children to Sunday school. We are certainly glad to know of those who are helped in this way, because our idea of the ministry is service, service in spiritual things. We know this kind of service is much appreciated by many who receive it. It is our desire to be of as much service as possible to the community we serve. What would really be of value to this pastor is to know who this lady is who expressed her ap preciation, so we could possibly get in closer touch with her and be of more and better service to her and hers. We are persuaded there are many such if we could only find them out. We know a good many things to help if we could only know who really wanted the help. I am going to suggest to any such and invite them to write me if they can't see me. Often times we have bold less to write of our spiritual needs when we cannot speak of them. I am not going to olfer any "absent treatment," but can possibly do some good by direction and the sup plying of some help which manj do not get of themselves. If these col umns have been a blessing to you, a letter dealing with definite needs and conditions will be more so. And possibly we can get in personal touch with you some time. And if we do, what an opening the letter or two will have made. The ground will have been broken, your specific need will be known, we will be free to talk to you on the subject, your own shyness will be largely gone. To talk generalities is never so good as to be particular. You call the physician and tell him much more than that you do not feel well; ho knows that or you wouldn't have called him. Ho can prescribe more than a general tonic. The same is true of our Christian life. You can be helped more by being to the point. And if you will write, it will be of those things which are mostly on your mind. A life invalid who suffered much, Miss Kahn, was a help to a multitude by her letters, and there is no reason why wo can not do some good by this means among those who cannot get to the churches. We have been helpful to some already. Can we not be of service to you? The Emmanual Ladies Aid will meet at the parsonage next Wednes day evening; the Missionary society will meet with Mm. Larson Thurs day afternoon. The musical and lunch given by the ladies at the parsonage Inst Sat urday afternoon was very well at tended and enjoyed. The Salem ladies had a very en joyable time at tho homo of Mrs. Alice Sides last Wednesday. A good many of the South Sioux friends were present. It is good to meet them and become acquainted. A man is as large as his acquaintance and his friends. Communion services will bo held at the churches February 11th, and at Homer this next Sunday. We hope for a large attendance. Kach doing their own part will supply this very thing. Remember you must put yourself in tho way of these spiritual things to get them. It was a real pleasure to have so fine a Sunday as it was last Sunday, and to bo able to worship in the large auditorium at Salem, and to see some of our sick able to be out again. M. E. Church Notes. K. J. Aucock, Pastor. In tho Sunday morning service we have gone back to tho regular form as directed by the "Discipline." We cannot get too much of the spirit of worship into tho service. Let us nil enter sincerely into the singing and responses, and wo shall find that the service means something to us. Too often a service is nothing but a pyrotechnic display by the preacher. The preacher has his place, so has the congregation. Prayer meeting every Wednesday at 8 p. m. followed by choir prac tice at 8:45. All are welcome. True Blue meeting Friday of this week at 7:!10 in the League room.
