xv was my privijege< not a long ? ' whise ago to listen to the reports ol some one hundred hnd seventy preach ers won;, along with other collections for the support of tH&'projects which the church i? fostering, reported the salaiies they received this year. % It is true that; it doeh -not cost as much to. live now as ~ih-.tirt a few years ago but how- a man can., sllpperf a family twin....!.. 1, i . li i 1.1 ..i buy books, and rlevote some time to study oh the salary of fio'i of those preachoits. received this year is more than I caij see. If themJiu:--tttoscf in the ministry who slnmhl not be there, they should find something else to do. There may be some mem r, bers of the church who made a false statement when they joined or who . have had reasons' to change their minds since. If such be the case these members should have the nior' al courage to ask that1 their names be strfcken from Hhe church roll. No one should run the risk of having his dead body carried to a place he does not. helieve in white livmtr . . . In any case, so long,afc wo have ministers .in charge of our churches and members to- be ministered to , . members should contribute toward .the support of the church.

Unedited excerpts from a few of. ? the?20?oe?m"iv |'np?rc fnllovv. The first deals with malaria: "Malaria fever comes from the bite of mosflu'itoes. MoshuHoes hatch in stale wate?' they live in Tlnarshes and ponds. Where there is *?o mo-squitoes there is no malaria.". Of tuberculosis another student sayfc: . - "ff you get <he T. B. you must eat plenty of eggs and drink plenty of milk. You can cure3 it at "home but it is better to go to the T.. B. camiis where you can get pleqty of milk and eggs." - . As to fresh air, win.lows and flies, a kittle student says: "We should keep t?ie windows screened to keep the flies out because the f lies earry* the 4iseas? on - their Tegs and come and light on ohr food or light on the baby's inou'fi TvIuTr he is eating aTid that causes typhorf fever." The relation of malaria fever to the mosquitoes explained follows by another: "He (Dr. Setzler) saM 'he mosquitoes carry malaria but the mosquito can. give you the malaria be has to bite-j someone else who has malaria. .You can get rid of the ' - mosquitoes by screening the house, ?? -? ??'? ? ; ? ? - viii. y' J. . t.?1 I ami conic right where ye a arc, eating' and fly on your food a'nd cause i fever.'* , How riot. io .spread Lulierculo^s t>y' spUii'htr and c-Highlrt* h de^ r'hedTScaHyasTcTTowsT'^^5 5 . , "He (Dr. Setzler) said you could catch tuberculosis b'y Upttt'mg and toughing.
