Making Roll Call Success.
The time limit of from Armistice

not heeded, for they did not stop
work when Thanksgiving day came
but kept on hustling and had on
Tuesday evening of this week some
sixty enrolled and were still going
forward with the work. This is very
commendable and we are certain they
will enroll a number more. This is
a great organization and the peo

helping in many a good deed when
they hustle for the roll call. See full
report the coming week.

Who Is Your Neighbors
Webster says, living near rr ad
jacent, and again he says, living in
a friendly manner. Neighbors are
those who we expect to be our
friends, and are our friends, and
when we expect people to be our
neighbors ws must be neighborly
and when we want friends we v.wis'.
needs be friendly. Christ illutral
ed this very forcably, when he tays to
the lawyer what is written in th
law. How readest thus? The lawyer
answered, "Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and v.iih
all thy soul and with all thy strong
th. and with all they mind, and thj
neighbor as thy self." Jesus said to
him, "Thou hast answered right: this
do and thou shalt live." But willing
to justify himself, the lawyer said
unto Jesus, "And who. is my neigh
bor?" Now let ua get at the very
meat cf the question, as it cr.me.s
from the lip. of the Master, when he
drew the parable, tor in this torn
- ,)p dW the mogt Q' teacl)ir;s. T"h
Master naid in su'tance, A crrtari
man went- from Jerusalem down to
Jericho.. Jerusalem was situate;! m
the top of the ridge between the 2Tou
iteranean sea. and thf valley of the
Dead sea or the valley of the Jor
dan, which is in some places, thir
teen hundred and more fet l.elow
the level of the sea. Jerusalem and
Jordan are about twenty-one mileo
apart. This was always a dangerous
place, infested by robbers and Lri
gands. This man as he traveled along
was attacked as many are now and
robbed, beaten, for perhaps he re
sisted, wounded and left for dead
after being robbed. After some time
he partially aroused himself a::d
hearing one passing, called, think
ing some one would help.
The Priest Passed Him Up.
The one coming was a priest, who
ministered in the temple, and one
whose very occupation required that
he should have pity, and .should s"c
cor this man, or nay other in like
circumstances. He heard the groan
of the wounded man. and passed by
on the other side. Then came along
a Levite, whose business was to min
ister in the temple, and who swung
the golden Censor at the tempi" ser
vices, he likewise passed by on the
other side of the road. Then came
another person, even an enemy to
the wounded man. He stopped, look
ed on the man. found that h was an
Isralite and an enemy, but he said.
"This man needs my help. He will
perish here alone for it was night
and cold, he took off his cloak and
wrapped it around the wounded man,
for the robbers had stolen what
raiment he had.
The. man was a Samaritan, and
by this token, he was not necessar
ily a goci man. tut he vas hcvever.

j He tenderly lifted the suffering man
and placing him on his beast, led
the beast until he came to an inn.
He roused the innkeeper and sought
nheher for the wounded man, and
staying with him for the night, car
ing lor him, won him back to life.
When he departed in the morning,
he paid the bill, and also said to
the r.ia-.i who kept the inn, care lor
this man and whatever more it costs,
I will pay you when I come this way
again.
Now Jesus says to the lawyer, who
was neighbor to him who fell among
thieves. The lawyer answered, "lie
that showed mercy cn him." The
