An Argument for tho Kinks.


1t is difficult for the person of average intellect
to understand the animus of recent clerical on
slaughts upon the exhilarating pastime of roller
skating. A Methodist minister on Long Island
was the first to denounce it; association of
Presbyterian ministers in Pittsburg this week
lifted up their voices against it. and now some
Roman Catholic priests in the West have refused
communion to persons who frequent the roller

One day she was going to attend class at Ro

and the yeast started. The bread began to rise
and swell. There was no stopping it when it

comfort the grief stricken family by spiritual
consolation, the resident clergyman remained
with them until o'clock in the after
noon. AT this time when the minister
was about to leave, the son, who
seemed to take the death so much to heart was
seized with another paroxysm of grief more
violent than any preceding it. He threw him
self on the body of his father, embraced him and
piteously implored him to speak once more, and
not to leave him without recognition. As if the
agonized voice had penetrated the other world,
the lips of the father moved the eyes opened
