Union Meeting Sunday Evening.

In spite of the storm there was a good
attendance at the union meeting held in
the Baptist church Sunday evening.
Mr.. Hawley led the singing and the
chorus choir was assisted by the Bible
school orchestra. The sermon was
preached by Rev. II. r. Miles from the
parable of The Two Sons" Matthew
xxi. 2S-S2. 1t was a clear, forceful pre-
sentation of the need of revising some
of our decisions with regard to Christ
and his work, and made a profound i'm
preston upon the audience. Mr.. Miles
said in part: This parable pictures two
classes of men. The first promises well
but does nothing. The second refuses
even to promise; but, knowing that the
refusal is a mistake. finally repents and
does his fathers bidding. Both classes
are widely represented today. All rec
ognize the obligation to serve God; but
some regard it so much as a matter of
course that they do not give attention
to fulfilling it. Their sympathies are
right; but they never get to work.
Others are so unwilling to assume respon-
sibility that they lose half of lifes ser
vice before they begin. The world is
full of takers who do not and of others
who say I will not and yet know that
it is wrong to say no to God. o for an
army that will say at once, I 60, ana

eternity for Cod"

A STRATEGEM.

When young man wants to get a
photograph of the girl he thinks he
loves he is apt to go to strange lengths
to get the picture. Rash young men
have been arrested before for breaking
into photograph galleries in their at
tempt to obtain the desired photo.
Others have got themselves into
trouble for looting other peoples al
buns. but it has remained for Henry
Mum of Omaha to employ three fire
engines and a couple of hose carts in
his quest for a picture of a reluctant
young woman.
Harry Mum, a young man of no con
sequence, fell in love with Jennie Cal
lahan. At once Harry Mum became a
person of much consequence, for he
was filled with that strange power
which makes young men do things
that are either heroic or ridiculous, ac-
cording to circumstances. Harry
Mum had never considered that any
thing mattered very much until he
met Jennie Callahan. Thereafter he
decided that everything mattered.
especially anything which could gain
him an interview with the young
woman he had seen.
Jennie Callahan never knew how
many plans articles and projects were
put into effect under her unsuspecting
nose by the strange young man who
stared so. When she walked out
rude little boys would bump into her
in manner somewhat studied, and
would be promptly grabbed by the
neck and shaken by the omnipotent
strange young man. All sorts of
things happened to Jennie Callahan
that had never occurred before. and
in all of these remarkable events the
strange young man played a part.
There is such a thing as playing a
game too hard, and Harry Mum was
guilty of that crime. Instead of being
attracted to him because of the fire.
quency with which he crossed her
path, Jennie Callahan grew to
thoroughly detest the ubiquitous Harry
Mum. The fact of the matter was
that Jennie was getting to be a little
bit afraid of her strange self-con-
stituted guardian, and it was therefore,
not to be wondered at that when
Harry Mum did finally manage to get
a regular introduction to his beloved
he got reception so frosty that it
almost CONCEALED even his ardor.
"Discouraging and downright un-
pleasant" would have been most mems
description of that first reception, but
the infatuated Harry Mum put it
down to maidenly reserve. There was
no shaking off Harry Mum, however
Within Is minutes of his introduction
he has asked the astonished Miss
Callahan if he might call her Jennie"
what kind of candy she liked best,
what was her favorite flower, did she
like dancing, had she ever been en-
gagged, and did she prefer men with
moustaches to those without In the
language of the base ball field, Harry
was making a red hot play for first,
but Jennie shut him out.
All that a young woman could do to
discourage an undesirable sutton Jennie
Callahan says she did to get rid of
Harry Mum. She was absolutely I'M
successful. If she showed a prefer
ence for the society of any other young

day enlisted in the United States army.
He thought there was a bare chance
that the brass buttons would prevail,
but If she should still prove obdurate,
picture of the hard-hearted fair one
| should be found, drenched with his
life's blood. when the ambulance corps
tenderly lifted him from the battle
field in far away Burrabaloola Phil
ippne Islands.
At least that was what Harry Mum
hoped to be able to do, but Just as he
snapped the last picture of the uncon-
scious Miss Callahan, the hand of au-
thority fell upon his collar and yanked
him away. 1t was fortunate that it
did for the foot of the observant
driver was moving at express speed in
the same general direction, though its
intended destination was not Mr..
Munn's collar exactly.
Confronted with the alternative of
spending several weeks in jail, or of
telling the truth, Harry Mum con-
fessed that his wish to secure a pic
ture of the obdurate Miss Callahan had
induced him to turn in three false
alarms from the box in front of her
house. The photographer of the
rogues' gallery took possession of
Harry Munn's camera and extracted
the film. When he developed it he
found that the amateur photographer
had secured some fine studies of
horses ears and details of harness.
but of the last % pictures there was
only one of Miss Callahan that was
any good OF that one he made good
print and presented it to the grateful
lover. The fact that circumstances
compelled 1t to be mounted on the
cards usually employed for pictures of
offenders against the law did not
worry Harry Mum in the least. He
tucked the picture safely away in his
pocket and vowed that he would never
part with 1t. He also remarked that
"he guessed that when he went after a
thing he got it,
They brought Harry Mum into court
the next morning, but the sentimental
firemen refused to appear against him
and Miss Callahan could not be in
duced to testify. He was according
ly discharged by the justice and is now
on his way to Manila with the picture
of Jennie Callahan in his breast
pocket.
And it is said that, when he was
gone. Jennie Callahan cried and said
she wished she had seen him to say
good bye Brooklyn Eagle.
