Want Church Property Taxed

The United Presbyterian Ministers
Association of Pittsburg, Pa, at a re.
cent meeting, discussed tho matter
of taxing church property, and de-
clarcd themselves unanimously in
favor OF it, They agreed that it
would discourage extravaganza in
church building and furnishing, and
also remove the charge of pauperiSm
against the church. One prominent
preacher declared that it was q divine
command that the church should pay
taxes. There are two or three little
things that these ministers seem to
have over looked. One is that
churches are wholly unproductive
property; another is that the average
congregation is compelled to raise all
the money it can for the support OF
the services, and that if it had to pay
taxes the money for the purpose would
have to come out Of the already toe
meager salary of the minister himself

element Joe the 2ll-ycar-old baby,
WAS forgotten. His sister Frcda missed
him and returned in the face of the
terrible smoke to search for him. She

surrounded the house, and which was

1t is said that the Japanese army is
now strainng every nerve to get at
the city of Moukden, China, before

tot of the MNnchurian dynasty, and is
located in the northern part OF the
Shing King province on the Lio-Iang
river. 1t is place of some 100000
inhabitants, and is strongly fortified
and we'll garriSoucd. Tho tombs OF
the forclalhcrs Of the rcigning Chi
ncso dynasty are located there. Al
though this dynasty some 200 years
ago transferred the seat OF govern
mint to Pckin, it has always looked
upon Moukdrn as sort OF city OF
refuge, in case disaster should over
take it, and it has given constant at
tcntion to making it as strong and as
safe rs possible 1t has also used the
CITY as a sort Of treasure house for its

Some Of them bear the dates 800, 500
and 800 B. G. All of them were un-
doubteily the toys little jewellers in the
old cities OF the naughty Babylonian
kings treasured centuries ago.
A man on horseback, n little table,

u dog surrounded by a litter Of puppies,
q dromedary that is really wonderful
reproduction and n ram are some of the
best Of the toys. That which possesses
the greatest interest, however, is a doll
about inches long. This was admira-
bly, modelled by the carver, who made
it out of bone in those PARKWAY DAYS,
before the dreams of the rulers of old
dynasties were troubled by visions OF
the new world. 1t has a pretty face,
with clear. well marked features, and
Its body has more to recommend it from
an anatomical point of view than those
Of the modern china dolls.
The most wonderful thing about this
BabylOnian doll, however. is the fact
that in those days when it had arms
it lost them long ago. poor thing-they
We're movable and attached to its body
by joints. There is nothing new under
the sun. The world has known that
fact for centuries. 1t may be impressed

girls had jOinted dolls just ms good, per-
haps even a little better than hers, tC
