The man, after much persuasion, on
scented to attend worship on the fol-
lowing Sabbath. During the sermon a
violent storm ragged and rashe of
thunder interfered with the speaker,
making himself heard.
Il won't attend any more said the

The Assistant Job.

Several Presbyterian clergymen
were discussing the development of
the Institutional church., says the New
York Post. One of the party express
ed the opinion that executive and
social ability in a pastor had over-
Swallowed his preaching powers, which
moved a former moderator to tell
this story on himself:
Not long ago one of the women
OF my congregation came to me to ask
why I did not get an assistant.
But / do not need one, madam
I assured her. When she insisted that
I did I endeavored to find out what
she thought sue han assistant could
do to relieve me of a portion Of my
pastoral work.
would you have him make the
pastoral calls?' I asked.
"'Of course not. You would con-
tinue to visit u.s.
Would you want the assistant to
baptize your children?'
No
"'Or to visit you when you are ill?'
Certainly not. No one could
take your place for that
Further questions met with like
replies. so finally I asked in despera-
ton:
Then. Mrs. -, what would
you have the assistant do?'
You might let him do the preach
ing"

These races never fail to be inter-

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at it's best,
fullest in strength, least in
taste.
Young women in their
"teens are permanently cured
of the peculiar disease of the
blood which shows itself in
paleness, weakness andnervous-
ness, by regular treatment
with SCOTS Emulsion.
1t is a true blood food and
is naturally adapted to the cure
of the blood sickness from
which so many young women
