A Mild Rebuke.

Figaro tells a story of Eugene Spul-
Ter, who was minister Of public instruc-
ton under the presidency of Caslmir-
Perier, which brings out his kindness
of heart. When the doorkeeper brought
him his letters one morning Spuller
said to him:
'Were You not supposed to be on
duty at IL 30 last night?"
"Yes, SIR"
"And you We're not thereT'
"That is correct" replied the door
keeper, fairly trembling as he saw his
dismissal at hand. But I have a sick
mother, your excellency. wished to
visit her"
THAT is quite proper" rejoined NJ.
Spuller, land hope that your mother
will soon recover. But il she should
continue to be i'll, which heaven for

with wide open mouth. "If you 60 to

About Certain words.

There is often a hint of something
approaching to an ancient kind of slang
in various dignified words in the Eng
lish language. So respectable term
as "perspicuity." for instance, means
that thing can be "seen through"
easily. The word apocalypse" means
'lifting off the cover" or, in other
words, the revelation of whatever good
or bad things may be concealed in n
chest Of secrets like Pandora's box pos
sibly, or maybe only In the lunch
basket Of some old Greek workingman.
Impeachment" coming from Latin
word meaning to catch or hold the
feet, wildly expresses the nature of
anything that entangles or hinders one
In the performance OF any action. Still,
to speak of an impeachment In ones
speech is in certain way to get ones
foot In ones mouth
Conspiracy" comes from a Latin
word meaning to breathe together. The
picture it gives Of group OF plotters
with their heads thrust up in COM
pact bunch is vivid enough to render
enjoyable the sarcasm of the old Ro-
man who invented the term-Chicago

Topie-TIow 70 worship IN spirit ana in
truth.-Ps. c. Is; Jola iy. 1924.
BY REV s II DOYLE
Worship may be popularity defined as
the homage which we render unto God
through the medium of praise, prayer
reading the Scriptures, Including the
Interpretation of the Scripture and it's
application in the sermon. and the Civ
ing of gifts unto God when the wor-
ship is public
Since worship is so great and impor-
tant part of our lives 1t is very nee
essary that we should understand it's
character. Two of the most vital char
acteristics of true worship are suggest
ed for our consideration in the topic
namely, the spirituality and truth. The
itual and sincere.
These characteristics of worship
were emphasized by Christ Himself.
The occasion was His conversation
with the Samaritan woman at Jacobs
well. Her idea was that the place de
termined the value of the worship.
"Our fathers worshiped in this noun
tain (Gerizim). and We say that in Je-
rusalem is the place where men ought
to worship" She looked upon Christ
simply as Jew and assumed that He
believed, as the Jews, that Jerusalem
was the place TO worship. But Christ
pointed out the error of her belief con-
corning worship and declared thar the
true worshipers would not magnify
place, but would worship the Father
In spirit and in truth. for the Father
seeketh such to worship Him. God is a
spirit, and they that worship Him must
worship Him In spirit and in truth"
No other worship than that which is in
spirit and In truth" is actual worship
We worship God only when our spir-
IT'S come into touch and fellowship with
His. Time, place and methods of wor-
ship avail nothing, only so far as they
assist the human spirit to come into
fellowship with the Divine Spirit. The
need of sincerity is very evident. A
formal worshiper could have no fell
Iowship with God. Sincerity is an alb
solute necessity to spiritual worship,
and there is no true worship that is not
spiritual; hence the absolute need of
spirituality and sincerity in worship.
Let us remember these facts and both
IN private and public devotions wor-
ship God lin spirit and in truth"

Old Peters shutting steps had died

mouth and a deeper light in the dark
