q little COLLISION on their own account.
"Ahoy, Bulldog, ahoyl'' called the
mate. ''Stand by to pick us upl We've
got him =
The skipper smiled in an agonized
fashion as he shot past, hotly pursued
by his boat. The feeling on board of the
other craft as they got out Of the way Of
the Bulldog and nearly ran down her
boat and then in avoiding that nearly
ran down something else, cannot be put
into plain English, but several captains
yentured into the domains of the orna-
mental with marked success.
''Shut off steamr9 yelled the engineer
as the Bulldog went by again. ''Draw
the fires then .
Who's going to steer while do it?''
beloved the skipper as he left the
wheel for few seconds to try to get a
line to throw to them.
By this time the commotion in the
river was frightful, and the captain s
steering as he went on his round again
something marvellous to behold. A
strange lack Of sympathy on the part
bles. Every craft he passed had some
thing to say to him, busy as they were,
and the remarks We're as monotonous as
they were insulting. At last, just as
he was resolving to run his boat straight
down the river until he came to a halt
for want of steam, the mate caught the
rope he flung, and the Bulldog went
n I
to her stern.
Come aboard, you-you lunaticl" he
shouted.
'tNot afore knows 'ow stand, " said
the engineer, who was now beautifully
sober and in full possession of a some
what acute intellect.
''What do you mean?" demanded the
skipper.
II don't come aboard, z shouted the
engineer, until you and the mate and
the bye all swear as you won t say moth
ing about this little game. "
ashore, " roared the skipper. ''I'll give
you in charge for desertion. Pip
With supreme gesture the engineer
prepared to dive, but the watchful mate
fell on his neck and tripped him over
a seat
"Come aboard" cried the skipper,
aghast at such determination. "Come
aboard, and I'll give you licking when
we get ashore instead. -
Honor bright?'' inquired the engi-
neer.
How bright, (" chorused the three.
The engineer, with all the honors of
war, came on board, and after remark
ing that he felt chilly bathing on an
empty stomach went down below and
began to stoke. In the course Of the
voyage he said it was worth while MAX
ing such fool of himself, if only to see
the skipper's beautiful steering, warm
ly asseverating that there was not an
other man on the river that could have
done it. Before this insidious fattery
the shippers wrath melted like snow
before the sun, and by the time they
reached port he would as soon have
thought of hitting his own father as his
smooth tongued engineer. w. w.

English christian Endeavor Convention.

or societies were organized in England
recently in one week. This makes over
1900 Christian Endeavor societies in
the British section. The national con-
vention which was recently held in the
Metropolitan tabernacle in London
crowded that immense structure One
Of the leading papers of London says,
''It was phenomenal and epoch MAX
ing gathering, and in itself an object
lesson as to the immense force and vigor
underlying the movement. As the gath
erings showed no perceptible fuctua-
tions, for at each meeting the Spurgeon
tabernacle was crowded, it is evident
that the Endeavorers stuck conscien-
tiously to their convention, leaving the
attractions and sights Of London un-
seem" Among the speakers were Rev.
Thomas Spurgeon and Rev. f. B. Meyer
On the platform at one time were rep
resentatives not only from prominent
English towns, but also members from
America, New Zealand, India, Tangier,
Australia and even Madagascar. One of
the sessions was presided over by a
member of parliament, Mr.. A. E. Hut
ton, who is also prominent Endeavor-
er. The movement in the United States
was officially represented by Hon. John
Wanamaker, representing, as he did,
the United Society of Christian Endeav-
or in his capacity as trustee. Mr.. Wan
amaker received an ovation and was
great help to the convention.
So it is to be seen that the movement
promises the same great future that has
become history in the United States.
Indeed the Christian Endeavor society
is becoming more and more worldwide
organization

ToPIc.-Whole hearted service.--Eph vi, 5-lS
As Christians and as Endeavorers we
have pledged ourselves to serve God.
One Of the leading characteristics Of the
service that God requires of us is that it
should be whole hearted service. Let
us notice:
1. Whole hearted service is demanded
Of us. God requires us and demands us
in His word to serve Him. Nor is this
service to be grudgingly given, with no
interest in it. We are to serve God in
singleness of heart and with perfect
heart. This applies to all classes Of
Christians. Paul applies it iii our refer
ence to servants and also to masters.
Gods laws are the same for all classes.
No one will be justified or excused for
serving God half heartedly. God may
take the will for the deed when the
heart is in it. but He will never take the
deed for the will when the heart is not
in it. Our whole hearts must be in our
service of God, or it counts for naught.
2. Whole hearted service is reason
able. When our Christian duty calls
upon us to do something for others, and
they do not appreciate our labors, it
may seem to us as if we were excused
from having our hearts in the work,
but not So The true Christian looks
beyond those who are the immediate
benefciaries Of his labors to Christ. He
works for Christ no matter for whom
be labors. Man may fail to appreciate
and reward US, but our Master never
does. We are not working to please
men, but to please Him who died for
us. Let US remember that His eye is
always upon us, and let us therefore put
our entire beings in our service for
Him.
3. Whole hearted service requires us
to have on the whole armor of God.
Satan will constantly tempt us to evil.
He will try to draw away our minds
and our thoughts from our work. He
will try to discourage us by recalling
our imperfections and weaknesses, and
also try to lead us to doubt even God.
With the mind filed with doubts, we
cannot serve God whole heartedly To
defend ourselves we need Gods armor,
the girdle Of truth, the breastplate Of
righteousness, the sandals of the peace
Of the gospel, the shield of faith, the
helmet of salvation and the sword of
the spirit and prayer and watchfulness.
Let us love and serve God with our
heart, soul, mind and strength.

was tho most important work done. The
supreme council decided that seven years
should elapse between an aliens declara-

is not political party but believes that
all problems confronting the people will
be best solved by conscientious dis
charge of tho duties of citizenship by
every individual. Ii holds that the sub
lection to, and support Of any ecclesi-
astical power, not created and controlled
by American citizens, is irrcconcilable
with American citizenship. 1t is opposed
TO the holding of offices in national, state
or municipal government, by any subject
or supporter of such ecclesiastical power.

The Income Tax Limit.

senator smith of New Jersey.
One fact is certin. Whatever Of logic or
fairness or wisdom there. may be in the
theory of an income tax is wholly elimina-
ted by this absurd limit. Il is neither
the one thing nor the other. From the
standpoint of those who honestly contend
that this method may afford equitable tax
alton IL is obviously too high. II every
citizen is 10 bear tho burden OF govern
ment in proportion TO his earnings, there
is surely no reason why lie who receives
$500 a year should escape while his
neighbor earning a 900 must pay.
This truth is recognized by foreign gov
ernments which exempt only nominal in
comes. In England all exceeding $50 are
taxed, in Prussia all exceeding s225. in
Denmark all exceeding s2l5, aud in Aus
tralia all exceeding Sli3.s0. In our own
country. when s73,Oo),0 90 were raised. only
incomes of less than 500 were exempt.

On the other hand. IL this tax Is really

surplus wealth, the limit is too small. To
be consistent, only those congressman
