own parish, but let your light shine
before all men, yea even to earth's
remotest bounds, that they seeing
your good works may glorify your
Father in heaven. Do not confine
your sympathies and activities to
this parish or this city, but remember
that there are hundreds and thous-
ands OF good people in remote towns
and corners of our land who are
hungering for the spiritual food
which you might give them; who
would give worlds for one 1.-THE of
the religious privileges you enjoy,
but who cannot have these blessings
because our people are not enthusi-
astic believers in their church and
are not willing to make a little sacri-
tice in order to spread abroad the
faith in which they profess to believe.
What our church needs-what we
need today-is larger measure of
that zeal and enthusiasm which fred
the souls of the founders of our
church, or, better still, the souls of the
early disciples; and when we get the
spirit they had there will be no ques-
ton as to whether ourChurch has fin

conquer until the kingdoms of this
world shall have become the king

A JOLLY PAINTER.

There lived in Italy, at the same time
as Giotto. an artist whose love Of fun has
done as much as his art to make him
famous. He was adorned with a re-
markable name. Buonamico di Cristo-
fano. He was called Buffalmacco for
short. 1t is something of wonder to
US in these days how a young artist
could carry around such a name as that
and still win fame. but this talented
young fellow did it, and had plenty of
time for his jokes by the way. How
ever, lot us call him AMIGO for the pres
emit. and we will learn first of prank he
played when he was student. AMIGOS
master was Andrea Taft, superstitious
and imperious old artist, who among
other unnecessary things compelled his
pupils to rise very early each morning,
and begin work almost before they were
fairly awake. AMIGO loved his morning
nap. so he plotted to enjoy it. He caught
thirty great beetles. fastened little
tapers to their backs. and before sunrise
one morning he put these one by one
iDto Tails room. The poor old fellow
thought he was visited by thousand
demons, and dared not leave his couch
until broad daylight. AMIGO persuaded
him that if he began work so early he
would continue to be visited by these
demons. After that he was never called
to work before dawn.
AMIGO was excellent artist as we'll as
a good companion, and he lacked not for
employment. At one time, while paint
ing church for Bishop Guido, he had
remarkable experience. The bishop
owned a large ape, which watched AMIGO
very closely, noting how he mixed his
colors and handled his brushes. When
the decorations were nearly done, the
ape contrived one Sunday to get at the
artists implements. He daubed up all
the figures, overturned or mixed togeth-
er all the colors, and made general
havoc. Thinking that some jealous rival
had caused this. AMIGO asked that a
squad OF soldiers be set to watch the
church, while he again set TO work upon
his task. For the second time the fres-
Goes we're near completion. when one
day the soldiers saw the ape get on the
artists scaffolding and begin to paint
AMIGO was summoned, and was so en-
tertained at the sight that he let the an
imal keep on until the picture had again
been spoiled. 1t is said that he laughed
until the tears ran down his cheeks. at
the antics of the artistic ape Then he
went tothe bishop aud explained that he
had no desire to compete with so versa
tile rival. and begged leave to with
draw. But the bishop tinelly induced
AMIGO TO make third trial, and this
time the frescoes were finished satisfac-
torily to everyone-exceptt the ape.
And so one might relate story after
story from the life of this jolly artist,
who seemed born to make fun instead of
pictures. but who nevertheless won a
place of honor in his profession. Poor
fellow. he died very old and very poor.

Whereon the sun shine listened,
While underneath it glistened?

From out their bircben dwelling?
The song of bluebirds won them;
Fresh music poured upon them,

Glad in the heavens near hymning,

Notes of Current Events.

Probably the most dramatic scene Of
the Kind ever seen in q Brooklyn church
occurred in the Lafayette Avenue Pres
byterian Church on the occasion Of the
farewell sermon of the Rev. I. De Witt
Talmagc.
Al Elwood, Ind. the combination Of
local gas companies to prevent the estab-
fishing of pumping stations in the gas belt
by foreign syndicat ties has been made
effective, and the matter will be taken to
court.
Miss Bob Tansey Myers. daughter Of
the millionaire tobacco manufactures of
st. Louis. has succeeded in marrying the
man of her choice, Graham r. Babcock,
of Coronado. Cal. They eloped to Glen
wood Springs, Colo.
Hugh Woods, the best ball player in
the ElwoOd Qnd.) team, in a spirit Of
bra on a wager, ate a handful of
gum camphor. He became unconscious
in n short time and remained in that
condition over five hours.
The new woman certainly has very
lofty aspirations. Orders have had to
be issued by the commanders of United
States ~men-of-War that hcnceforth wo-
men visitors will not be permitted to
climb up the rigging 10 the mastheads.
