The Young Men's class of the Win- netka Congregational church, will dis- cuss, "How much should a Christian withdraw from the affairs of the world of which he disapproves, and how much should he get in and try to im- prove conditions? Should he imitate the monk in the monastery, or the re- former in politics and social life, or what should be his attitude?" The class will not meet with the Men's class, but will hold its usual session at 10 o'clock. Aladdin's Lamp 570 LINCOLN AVE. WINNETKA, ILL.

Mr. Hale says there would be a far greater sum to turn over to the various township funds than is usually the custom. In the particular case in reference, the tax payer is in California. He sent a letter by air mail requesting his tax bills be mailed to him. Collector Hale replied by air mail, special delivery, at 5:15, a week ago last Sunday. It was received in Pasadena at 8 p. m. Tuesday, and the man, who was de- termined to assist New Trier town- ship with the two percent on his taxes, replied, along with his check, "I'm get- ting on the bus to go down town to mail you a check." The check, by which the township will profit something like $40, came flying back by air mail to Collector Hale, who received it Thursday morn- ing of last week, with only eighty-six hours consumed in the dispatch of the { tax bills and the receipt of the money. "Fine business," exclaimed Collector Hale, as he opened the air mail remit- tance and began to compute the speed with which it all had been accomplish- ed. "And there are a lot of remittances coming in locally, just as promptly, too," he hastened to explain, "but there are also many who have not yet paid. "It is not too late, either, to get in," he said, "as the books will still be open for a limited time." Collector Hale says he will give no- tice when the books will be turned in, but he urgently requests those who have not paid, to do so at once, ever bearing in mind the advantage this prompt payment,to the collector brings to the township.
