War and the Missionary.
I hear that when the missionary so-'j
pieties held their May meetings one of j
the most encouraging—and surprising}
—points was the satisfactory state of
Ihe finances. Last year, the first com-
plete year of war, was one of the best
years the societies have had. I am
told that some of the most important
societies have been able not only to
pay their way but to pay off large
amounts of deficit. People have cer-
tainly not been economizing on their
contributions to missionary work as
yet, and the way in which supporters j
have rallied to its support in wartime!
Is an interesting footnote to the his-|
tory of the time. !
Experience shows that in the first
year of past wars the missionary and:
other funds of the same kind have-:
done well—it was so, I believe, in the
Franco-German and the Russian wars
—but that in the second year of war
they begin to suffer. It is interestir^
to remember that it was in the time of
our last great -war, a century ago, that
most of the missionary societies were
either founded or greatly developed.—

A very, very happy Christmas and
a prosperous and pleasant New Year
In the Lambs’ All-Star Gambol aj
musical yarn was told by Barney Ber-;
, nard, the Shylock of the Shake- j
spearean minstrels. ‘TIow is your!
daughter Jessica?” asked the inter-!
locutor, and Bernard’s reply, stripped
of its Abe Potash dialect, w#.s:
“She’s been studying music in Berlin
for three years. Lately she wrote that
she was ready to sing in grand opera,
and that she was coining home, so I
arranged a concert for her at Carnegie
hall. I went to several of the mem-
bers of my lodge and asked them to
take tickets for the concert, telling
them that if my daughter was a suc-
cess I would give a banquet to my
friends at the Hotel Knickerbocker.
When the time of the concert came,
pf course my daughter was nervous.
She broke down and went off the key
—it was terrible. The people started i
going out of the ball. At once I
thought of the banquet, and I rushed
Sown to the Knickerbocker to cancel
the banquet! In the banquet room I
found five of my friends eating and
drinking champagne. ‘Wait a minute,’
t said. ‘I told you that if my daugh-
ter was a success I would give a ban-
quet—she was not a success, she was
a. failure.’ Then one of my friends
«tood up and said, ‘Well, we liked
tier.’ ”
