After that votes will be considerably reduced. The busy candjdates have mapped out a plan of action that is sure to bring results; they are not taking any excuses now. They are taking nothing but subscriptions for they realize that under the "BIG VOTE" period, it is possible to pile up enough votes to assure them a major prize when the period ends.

The Presi- dent, Mrs. Honey, had charge of the meeting, which opened with hymn 162 "Our Blest Redebmer". Mrs. Thompson read the devotional leaflet, the topic was "The Spirit of Jesus Challenges".

Some friend of yours, or perhaps a relative or ac- quaintance,' is entered in the list of candidates who want to win the Chevrolet offered. That friend or relative is going to appreciate the boost your subsciption will give, if obtained in time to turn"in before June 138th. Let your candidate know of your desire to aid.
