expects to send a full delegation.
Mrs. Qee , of Crookston. was in a

Valentine last Saturday. She seen
to have the spirit of a true t cache
She has kept up the teacher's meeting
in Crookston all year with onlor
regular helper and a fe\v othersw\vh
droppe 1 in occasionally.
Most of last week was nice weathe :
yet in one room of the Valentine sclux
there were 31 tardy marks. This is
disgrace to our school and should b
lessened but if done effectually , it mu.k
be done by the parents. Any punibl
tnents adopted by the teacher uule ;
firmly seconded by the parents , create
anly turmoil and does the child bti
little good Arrange matters so tha
it will be possible for your child to b
Dn time at scuool and make him fet
that it is a disgrace not to be on time
It will be a good thing if every teach
jr and parent in Nebraska could reai

DEAII Mil. EDITOR : I notice in youi
ast issue a brief account of a "Lentci :
Ljimcheon' ' given in Valentine. The
'act that such a thing can take place in
me of my mission stations may indi-
: ate that I have been lax or incomplete
n my instructions on the subject ol
-.enten observance , and the notion may
; et abroad if nothing is said , that Len-
en luncheons are a part of the system
) f the church. I wish to reach those
vho read your paper and assure their
hat well instructed and devout church-
nen do not share in social festivities oi
my kind during Lent , i'arties , social !
md gatherings of that sort are strictly
abooed , even children's birthday par
lesire postponed by many , and
ightly , until after Easter. I hope
hus to correct an utterly "wrong im-
) ression which the reading public
night receive. J. M. BATES ,
Pastor of St. John's Church.
