Sedalia Weekly Conservator. NO ROOM FOR COMPLAINT. Miss Dayse F Baker, Primary Teacher in Douglass School Farmington, Missouri, Submits Epigrammatic Gems. Long, long ago when our foreparents were in servitude there was much room for complaint, but today there is but little room for the twentieth century girls and boys to offer excuses or complaints. Opportunities are everywhere. They are offered to everyone, to the rich and to the poor; to the learned and the illiterate, and especially to those who have become discouraged in life. All that is required is for each one to catch a hold on the machinery of life best adapted to them. At this day and time to meet a boy or girl who has reached the age of twelve years and who has always been hale, and yet unable to read, shows decided negligence on the part of some one.

To The Officers and Members of Subordinate Lodges, GREETINGS!—It again becomes my pleasant duty to call your attention to the near approach of the date of our Annual Thanksgiving, and to urge you to bend every energy in preparing for this celebration, as we have much to be thankful for, and still more to be hoped and prayed for in the future, Brethern, the organization of the Knights of Pythias, has grown to be a powerful factor in shaping the destiny of our race in this country, and it is my earnest request that the observance of our Annual Thanksgiving be conducted throughout the State in a reverent, dignified manner, befitting the high purpose and standing of our Order. Let the officers and committees see to it, that nothing is done that will justify adverse criticism. Therefore, pursuant to our annual custom, and the official act of the Supremc Lodge in regular session at Saint Louis, Mo., Sept., 1st to the 5th, '03, I, A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, State of Missouri, do designate and set apart Sunday the 25th day of March, 1906, as the day for the observance of our Annual Thanksgiving, and all Lodges in this jurisdiction are hereby ordered to observe this day by holding appropriate religious services.

We think that when we have gotten them into the Chareb our work is merely in its incipiency. How to keep them there? How toaid them toas cend into the tealms of higher christian perfection? How they are to rally, when errors have been committed by them? How to instruct th. m to differentiate between good and bad, innocent and hurtful auuusements and aagociations? The above and scores of other quer des equaliy ax pertinent and fmportant should command and they do demand the earnest and early consideration of uur local moral and religious leaders. All uther propo-itions, however, may be mergetl into the following. “Shall the Meral and Religious Leaders of the Race in This Cosnmunity Institute Practical Influences to Ccunter act the Evil Agencies That Constantly Menace Our Youth?” We are honestly and earnesuy impressed with the idea that we shonid com)'ne our moral and religious energies for this specific pur- pose. Our young men should have a religious club of some kind where they may meet and amuse themselves. Let them havea place under Christian influences, where they may loiter, read, play and converse, We advise them to stay away from the saloon and pool- room, and they should remain away from them. But where would we have them go? Stand on the street corners, haunt and throng the barber shops and, hang about listiessly? Some will say that it will take money to maintain a club or Y.

Let the conservative, moral and religious leaders get together in some manner of organization that will help to hold what we have already secured. After the revivals, what to do next is the question that demands the thoughtful consideration of all who love our youth and would keep them under religious influences. A Word From Taylor Chapel. Our fourth quarterly conference was held by Presiding Elder Wm H Smith, March 3-4. Our quarterly conference was a pleasant one. The new officers elected for the ensuing year accepted their positions without a demur, and it is to be hoped that they will enter upon the duties of their office with all their hearts and purposes to do all that their position demands. Our Sunday service was a great service. The Presiding Elder preached two excellent sermons morning and afternoon, and Prof Allen of the Goo RSmith College delivered a fine discourse at night. Seven persons joined the church during the day and eight were baptised. The love, feast Monday evening was one of the most spiritual out pourings that it has been my privilege to witness during my eleven years residence in Sedalia. And our financial success broke all previous records. We raised in the quarterly meeting $59; we raised in the past three months $325 without any rallies or without putting forth any special efforts to raise money. Thus closes my third year as pastor of this church so far as quarterly meetings are concerned. In looking back over the three years work with the people of Taylor Chapel, there are some things that have been accomplished that I take great delight in. The spirituality of the church is indeed gratifying. One hundred and eighty-eight persons have come into the church under my pastorate. Something over 74,500 has been raised for all purposes. And I think I may say that every interest of the church has received new inspiration during these years. The next pastor that comes will find a faithful membership awaiting his arrival, and if he takes hold of the work with zeal and earnestness success is assured. R. DAVIS.
