Needles ana pins. needles and pins.
When a mans married his trouble begins.
But,
Paper and type paper and type.
When man edits his trouble is ripe
When a reporter runs down an item
and is sawed off short by some snap
ping turtle who holds the information
in his hand and uses his position to
please his prejudice and vent his spite,
that is trouble for the truth teller,
And he wont come back any more
! And when said swapping turtle is ont
generated and the information secured
at sacrifice Of shoe leather and the
mail is missent, and the facts fail to
reach the publisher and there is an
aching void in the contributors column
that is trouble forthe truth teller.
And when man stops his paper
with slam and a swear word because
it did not print his piece, or roasted
| his relations, and borrows it next day
to see what the thing has to say any
! how" and wants a notice the next
week, provided it don't cost anything
that is trouble for the truth teller.
When a reporter wearies his limbs
/
his brains to write up a nice notice,
and contemporary forgets the ten
commandments and swipes the whole
business without credit or comment
/ that is trouble for the truth teller.
When pen pusher says ship is to
sail on and the type setter places it on
sale; when-the one'declares that man
dwelt in city and the other deliber-
ately kills him and says he died there,
! to the horror of the historian that IS
trouble for the truth teller.
When news gatherer thinks to give
variety to the sheet he serves by fur
nishing the facts of a fair, the sales Of
a shop. or the services of sanctuary,
and the blue pencil of the boss strikes
out the stuff while a contemporary
prints it on the first page and brags
about it's scoop that is trouble for the
truth teller.
Well there will come a day when old
St. Peter will hold a reception for re
porters and he will say ''These are
/ they who have come up out of great
tribulation," and as they pass by, to
each one he will exclaim, Here's your
comp that will never run out, to
concert that will never end"
Sanctuary Sweets: The services at
the Lutheran church on Sunday were
both impressive and interesting the
sermon and songs being in the English
| language One special feature of the
services of this sanctuary is the con
gregational sing singing. Every body
makes music in obedience to the di
vine direction, Let the people praise
thee oh God, let all the people praise
| thee" Choir carols are a delight to
the ear, but when our meadow larks
make all the melody of the mornings
when four seraphs sound all the halle
| lujahs of Heaven then may four sing
ers sit up in a corner and pour out
praises for all the people. Let the
the choir chant, let the people praise,
and the the services of the sanctuary
will be sublimely sweet, and win the
world up to the heavenly way
The sermon was by Prof. John Frit-
schell of Clinton, Iowa and was based
on the Simeon scene as laid down in
the second chapter of Luke. 1t was
an orthodox and practical presentation
of the Christmas Christ He spoke of
/. The Greatness Of Gods Benefit to
Man. That greatness is shown from
the fact that it has been long and uni
versally spoken of. 1t was long looked
forward to and spoken Of by the pro
phets Of the past 1t has been the Gym
osure of Christians Of all creeds and
countries toward which for centuries
! they have cast backward look. The
greatness of that gift is seen in what
it means to us. There is significance
i'm noble names: but lives lived do not
correspond with names given Many
names are misnomers. But the rame
of Jesus means in the pure life lived
and the wondrous work wrought, all
that it implies

a. Salvation from Sin; b. Deliverance
from Death.
The preacher proceeded to show fur

might have provided some other plan,

old fashioned theme. worth more to
a sorrowing soul than all the pulpit
pyrotechnics that were ever presented.
The NJ. f. Sabbath school presented
the pastor, J. V. Bennett with a we'll
filled purse to help make the holidays
happy.
