HE HAD NOTHING TO SAY.
Though Father of the Baby, in Naming
He Did Not Count

Though Father of the Baby, in Naming It
He Did Not Count.
The father thought he should nave
something to say in regard 10 the
name the child should BEAR and When
his wife proposed George Augustus
he accepted the first part, but reJecI-
ed the last-that is, triet to reJec4
it, says the Chicago Post.
"Make it George William" he SAID.
civilian is a better name than Au'
gustus, and then it will please Cncle
Bill"
"Yes, and every one will call him
Bill" she protested. Il don't IKE
the name. Augustus is better"
"You won't make the change"
Il don't sec why | should. "
"Very WE'LL" he said as he started
for his hat and coat; I'm going to
the office"
The next morning, as he was put
ting on his coat, he asked
How about that name?"
"Why, we'll call him George Au
gustus, she returned in surprise
"Good day" he said, as he went out
and slammed the door.
When he came home that night he
asked:
"Is it still GusSie?"
Augustus" she corrected.
After supper he remarked, sneer-
ingly:
'Gussie. Gussie! That's nice kind
of name, isn't it?"
Augustus is a very nice name,
she replied, calmly.
Before going to church for the bap
ti>m the following morning he asked,
sarcastically:
do you still stick to GusSie?"
George Augustus, she said,
sweetly.
He shut himself in his room for q
few minutes and wrote plainly on
sheet of paper, George William.
Then he put it and $40 bill in ar
envelope and Joined the baptisma
party. Once at the church he slipped
off to one side and handed the cler
gyman the envelope.
"Thank you for the fee," said the
latter, "but | already have the name
Your wife gave it to me-"
81 thought you might MAKE a mis-
take in it," suggested the father.
"Oh, no. It's written very plainl!
George Augustus
The father sighed and gave up tht
struggle, but he is getting his revenge
now by informing admiring friends il
his wife's presence that the baby
name is "GusSie."

FROM THE + IELD.
Shiloh Church, AtChisOn.

Rev. !. U. Wilson, pastor OF
Shiloh Baptist Church, IS a man
of sterling qualities and extraordi-
nary spiritual power; though he IS
Young and beardless, iull Of hospl-
tality and push. Elder Wilson has
done what none Of his predecessors
have been able to do. Having
taken the church two years ago,
when it was in a dilapidated condl-
ton, discouraged and scattered and
almost house!ess, his work to-day
stands monument to true chrlst1-
anity and grace. More than 2I5
have been added to the church, rs
Of whom were received by baptism
alone: $500 have been raised and
\ plan IS now under way to collect
500 with which to free the church
from its long standing incumber
ance and renovate the building from
base to dome. Another star was
added to Wilson's diadem when he
used every effort to bring about
reconciliation which prevaded the
Baptist families in Atchison, to-day

The following resolutions were
adopted in the quarterly minister
and deacon's union held last week
with the Baptist church at Great
Bend.
After discussion upon the topics
No 2, what relation should exist
between the church and association
and convention. The following
resolutions were offered
WHEREAS, The sovereignty OF
the Missionary Baptist church IN
Kansas has been and is the source
Of much misunderstanding so much
50 that this Interpretation is being
construed as being in favor OF ALLEN
iating the fellowship and moral OBJ
locations which were so prominent
in the early apostolic churches, thus
inviting splits, discords and not un-
frequently provide a bulwork be-
hind which unscrupulous leaders
and would-be pastors secrete them
selves from the discipline of regular
Baptist churches, and associations
RESOLVED, That the sense OF
this union be that churches are
mutually bound by all the laws pro-
vided by the great head OF the
church, Jesus Christ, torespect and
obey all recommendations and res
olutions made by the associations
and convention Of which they are
members.
That the church is the only legal
custodians of the ordinance and
commandments given it by the
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and
in this sense and no other IS its SOW
ereignty declared by the theologl
cal scholars Of the Baptist church

a MAN-OF-WAR ROOSTER.

His Encounter with the Proud Rooster
That He Saw in the Brass Ventilator.
Who would think that rooster
could become a great pet on board
ship? But on the flagship Chicago,
the man-of-war which last spring
travelled almost 5000 miles to get
home for the Columbian naval pa
rade, there was rooster that was
the pet of the men on board ship.
He was bought in the West Indies,
on the way TO MontevideO, and was
intended for the Christmas dinner;
but his great cheerfulneSs as shown
by his hearty Growing in the most
unreasonable weather won him his
life.
After his liberty had been given to
him and he had become fairly tame
he noticed one day another very proud
rooster in polished brass ventilator
which stands on the quarterback.
He Immediately put on his proudest
air; then, noticing that the other
rooster did the same, he stepped
closer to inquire, and soon found
himself glaring pugnaciOusly at the
other fellow, who seemed quite as
defiant as himself. From looks it
came to blows, and soon our rooster
was Indignantly fighting his own re-
fection. Occasionally he would strike
the ventilator a hard blow with his
bill and be thrown back much aston
| ished, only to return TO the attack
when lie noticed that his enemy ap-
parently retreated.
This was kept up at intervals for
several weeks, until the rooster
| learned that more hard knocks than
glory were to lie got by keeping up
| the feud. Even now. after many
months on board. he occasionally re-
news the attack, but in half-heart-
ed way, as if he knew he was doing
something silly.
His name is Dick, and when there
is food ahead he answers TO it like a
gentleman. At Ensen2da, in the Ar
gentine Republic. the Chicago lay
along ide the dock in the Grand Canal
and Dick was allowed TO run on
shore and pick up what he could find.
He never strayed far from the gang

The Worlds Parliament Of Religions" "
This work prepared by De. BArroWs' iS
one Of the mjBt important publications
that has been lately issued from The
press. The parliament itself marked an
epoch in the growth and expansion Il
religious thought. II is something that
could not have happened q few years
ago; and that it did happen in the year
1893 is an evidence Of growing liberslity
and tolerance that is certainly most
gratifying to all broad minded men and

We can only say this week that DIR.

that parliament. 1t is the only work

Thankful for the Truth.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-I write to thank
Mrs. Dlggs for the clear and true an
alIsis OF the political situation in the
United States to-day, az published in
the ADVOCATE Of January %. How
true her words, "The great strength Of
democracy in 1892 vas Grover Cleveland.
To day he is their great weakness. His
name is hiss and 0 by word among
countless thousands who idolizsd and
-houted and voted for him in the last
campaign" Also, "It follows, then, as
the night the day, that the republican
party will bs the machine which the
gold bugs Will aid in the next presi
Dental campaign" Well may she say,
"The democratic party is doomed" after
it's chosen leaders have been 30 false TO
all their party traditions and platforms;
and now in the person Of their secretary
OF the treasury, Carlisle, 80 false even to
the law itself, in discriminating against
the legal tender United States notes and
our present silver dollar 10 his boud cir
culsr OF January II, 1894. He says:
Subscriptions must be paid in United
States gold coin to the treasurer" thus
giving up all pretention Of maintaining &
parity Of all United Sts'es coins. For
this high handed crime both he and his
chief deserve to be impsached and
hurled from Office in dlshonor and
shame.
There is great lesson for the Popu-
lists as well as men Of other parties in
this sentence Of hers: National, not
local or state legislation, has wrought
the downfall Of prosperity, and national
legislation can alone restore it, hence NO
local heat or rscrimination shall be in
dulged in."
She also pays q just tribute TO the
Populist senator's and representatives
for their true and fearless work for the
people. A. @. SHINN.
