Keru. financial secretary, jiresented the re¬ port of the year's finances, which re¬ vealed a steady growth. It also lirou.cht out Ihe fact that Ihe classical apportionment payments increased b.v twenty-five per cent over last year. He appealed for strict adherence to all the details of the duplex envelope system, which is iniprovinR each year. The classical apportionment was pre¬ sented by Oliver T.

the  meeting for his wonderful  mes¬ sage.
He divided hks address into four pans giving four of his own personal reasons for prayer on the subject "Why I Pray" as follows: First; Be cause i believe in the (lod whom .Jestis Christ revealed and because hi' was a real man among men. Second; Because I believe in .lesus Christ. Himself, and in the great work He pcconiplished among men. Third: I!(>cause the outstanding men of his tory are known Jo have been men o' lirayer. Think of Mncoln and Wash ington. filadstone and Koch. Cochi and Tolstoi, all of them men of I.rayor. Fourth; Hecause many of my personal acquaintances, men of note and honor are men of prayer and hecause during my forty-fiv years of prayer it has become more beautiful with the years. He closed with the words "The prayer of the righteous availeth much."
Prof. Howard Shlmer attested to many of the good points In Dr Kreske's address.
Walter F. Kern responded with similar testimony and thanked all the conimittes for their help in making the affair such a success.

The niembers to tho .N'ortliamptcui Counly Farm Bureau residing in l,o-.ver -N'azareth township will organ- ize the Lower Nazareth Township Farm Bureau on F'riday evening, De¬ cember 1.") at "..TO.
This is the sixth Township Farm Bureau organized in Northampton County. The purpose of these town¬ ship Farm Bureaus is to carry out the win-k of the County Farm Bureau in the various townships. These local associations give an opportunity for the farmers in a community to work hand In hand and buy and sell co¬ operatively.
