Last Wednesday evening Bishop C. L. .Moeuch. of Bethlehem, presi¬ dent of the Provincial Elders' Con¬ ference of the Moravian church, at¬ tended a joint nieeting of the Beard of Elders and Trustes of the Naza¬ relh Moravian church, when the pe- tiltoii, containing more than 400 names, asking to have Rev. Paul S. .Meinert as pastor of the Moravian church, was considered.
The officers ot the church passed a resolution asking the Provincial Elders' Conference to allow Rev. .Meinert to withdraw his acceptance or the call to York and that they grant him the privilege of remaining here. This was granted hy Provin¬ cial Elders' Conference and Bishop .Mnoncli then retired trom the meet¬ ing and went in consultation with Rev. Meinert.
LuHir returiiing to the meeting. Bishop .Moeiuh reported that Rev. .Alelnert was willing to remain in Nazareth. Consequently the mem¬ bers of the Nazareth congregation are very much pleased and were glad to hear ot Rev. Meinert's willingness tr, remain here.
Kev. Meinert is an eloriuent preach¬ er and has won tho love and esteem of his congregation, which was dem¬ onstrated by tlie largely-signed peti¬ tion which was presented to the of¬ ficers of the church, asking Ihem to put forth every effort to have him remain here. Rev. .Meinert has been here for eight years, is a tearless preacher and presents the gospel in simple language which can he un¬ derstood by all, both old and young, and his work in Nazareth has been greatly blessed.

Rare days in June—and July and .Vugust—tempt nature lovers into woods and fields and by the sides of l.-Hbbling brooks. Frequently they return to undergo several days of acute torment duo to attacks by (higgers, the tiny mites whose larvae attach themselves to the skin in tiny e.-tposed spot.
The Bureau of Entomology of the rnited States Departinent of .Vgri- culture has made a careful study of tho habits ot chiggers and methods of control, and suggests two ways of red-ucing the discomfort caused by chiggers.
The first step Is to clothe the teet and ankles properly when going into the woods where chiggers are likely fll occur, by wearing heavy high- tiipiied boots instead of low shoes, tl.irk stockinns or even spiral put- The  second  method  is lo ap¬
ply repellents either directly on the skin or on the hose and undergar¬ ments hefore starting out for a "hike" or a picnic. Flowers of sul¬ phur is ordinarily used for Ihis pur¬ pose. .A hot bath with a thick lath¬ er ot soap taken immediately after returning from an outing often kills cliiggt r larvae on the body.
Palliatives such as sulphur oint¬ ment, alcohol, ammonia, cooking soda, dilute solution of Iodine, or camphor are of use chiefly because 0'' Iheir acaricide or mite-killing ac¬ tion, or because of thoir antiseptic quality, or for both reasons.
