a PECULIAR CHURCH STEEPLE.
One of the Most Remarkable Freaks
In the Way of Crookedness'

One of the Most Remarkable freaks
. In the Way of Crookedness.
/ The decision to restore the fabric OF
'The Church with the Crooked Stee,
Die" at Chesterfield, England, has re-
Hived interest in this most curious e41
ample of architecture. Its tall, TWIST
ed spire has no rival either In shape
or pose. It Is more whimsical In Its In
clination than the leaning tower OF
Pisa. Parts Of the church are about
d 600 years old. The steeple rears, or
rather twists itself go feet skyward.
1t has prompted the shrewd comment
the admiration, and the ridicule Of En-
glish people and from travellers OF many
lands. The spire has puzzled the e1y,
perts, and in some quarters 1t IS serii;
ously contended that the steeple has
been crooked ever since its erection!

Dwight Moody, the evangelist gets
moody or loony in his old age. He says
that the three great temptations that
are before young men these days are
the trolley car, the bicycle and the
Sunday paper. If Moody can find no
other The world, the flesh and the dew
il" to war against in this sinful and
wicked world he had better get out
from the shelter of the gospel tent,
draw a badger or two and knock
around with the boys until morning
once or twice. After such an expert
ence he will conclude that the trolley
car and the bike and the Sunday pa
per are means of grace, and will fire
his gospel wads at the actual devils.
No man is fit to preach the gospel Of
betterment of this nineteenth century
who fires off such rot. 1t is so palpa-
bly, false that what he utters of truth
will not be believed.

The unspeakable Turk is by no means
the unspeakable fool. He uses the
power as whole for the accomplish
ments of his purpose, as far as they
will submit to be used, then takes them
one by one in succession and goes as
far as anyone will accompany him and
as a dernier resort goes it alone if he
has to. When Russia would back the
Sultan no farther he turned to Ger

sally, the porte notifies the powers that
by right of conquest it is entitled to
Thessaly and will not yield the terri
tory only upon compulsion. The Turk
