The Dingley law is now producing in round figures r million dollars a day of revenue to the Government. That is to say, the total receipts of the Treasury Department, including customs, internal revonue, and miscellaneous, during the first twenty-four days of January to $23,000-

000 in round numbers, or an average of practically a million dollars for each day This is ' extremely encouraging in view of the fact that the expenditures of the Government seldom exceed $365,000000 in a year, or average of a million dollars per day the year around. It is quite apparent from these figures that the prediction of the farmers of the law that it would produce sufficient revenue to meet the running expenses were well founded.

Time wasted is existence: used it is life. Heaven has little attraction to those whose treasures are"on earth. Carpenter Township Association is beginning to think of their semi annual convention to be held this month. We earnestly hope that every township in the county will get in the way of holding two conventions each year. It is no great undertaking and it strengthens the work so much. Let us begin now to think and plan for new schools to begin the first of the second quarter, Apr. 1. Also to see that those schools who “canned” upj for the winter are opened promptly on that date. Among the very last works of our Master were these “Go ye unto all the world and preach the] Gospel to every creature.” Sunday School workers what is our motion in doing this work. Those who work because some one else works or because they feel like it will surely fail sooner or later. Impulse will not answer for a basis for Christian work. Work from principle and pure love. When “The love of Christ constraineth us” and we work because we are in partnership with Christ we will never stop until he stops. Two things will distinguish those who are worthy to be classed as faithful Sunday School workers, profound reverence for the Word of God and sincere, genuine attachment to the person of Jesus Christ.
