The Disciples Called to Service
"And He appointed twelve . . .
that he might send them forth."—
Mark 3:15:49.
"The Master called men
only to send them out."
MEDITATION: Great multitudes
followed Jesus. Just twelve were ca!!-
cd to the special privilege of His con-
stant‘ companionship. but this was
“that He might send them forth" to
ministry like his. Christian privileges
spell obligation for Christian service.
HYMN:
Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear. winning word of love.
Teach me the waywafi'd feet to stdy.
And guide them in the homeward
way.
PRAYER: 0 God. our Heavenly
Father. we thank Thee for the gift of
Thy dear Son. Grant that we who
have received him in our hearts may
.oyfully go forth with him on many
errands. Bless those who toil for thee
in far of! places: comfort them in
their lonlincss: and units our work
to theirs. Accept our gifts: receive
our prayers. and use us for the sake of
Thy Son Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

the fact that neither of these men

lCcied, have been chosen.

Plans have been completed for that

Plans are being considered for the
installation of a shredding plant in the
pulp yard of the factory, at a cost of
feet. to the main factov' through a.i
long pipe carried under ground. The
shredded pulp is now carried by teams
of horses. . A crane system is also con-
templated to be installed to carry the
pulp around the pulp yard from the
pulp hoist to the shredder.
A special sepa or. devised, by Sup-
