Greenpoint Choir.

Greenpoint Choir.
For weeks and weeks, yes, even months,
the Tabernacle congregation Of Greenpoint
has listened to the singing OF thirty-six
voices. but there was really thirty seventh,
one cupid, who cause1 so much trouble
that the choir fast dwindled to twenty-five.
There were some members of the oongrega-
ton who suspected his presence, but the
truth did not come out until the following
advertisement was inserted in Saturday
paper:
Gbob M. GhS5 of ss sssd o
tos, tenors and bassos., Apply after sunday
son FULLER, EOS quincy street. Brooklyn.
There have already been three desertions
and several more are threatened. The
above advertisement was inserted IN prepa-
ration for any new assertions. 1t has been
asoertained that two couple g. and possibly
voices henceforth only In matrimonial
felicity Mr. Fuller could not give the
names Of those who had welded or those
who would be.
H. E. Williams OF ISL Manhattan avenue,
who inserted the advertisement, said the
trouble all came In the warm part OF the
summer and that as more vacancies SCENE
about to occur the only way to keep the
choir from being wiped out was to get
more singers immediately. so yesterday
morning was set for the trial OF the ap-
phcants. The immediate responses 10 the
advertisement were rather Disappointing,
as few candidates appeared, and those who
did come were Of the gentler sex only.
THE men must have been scared of, re-
marked one member Of the congregation.
Many Of the fast dwindling choir fingered
| about the church and furtively eyed all
who entered. A member Of the choir was
| heard to say:
IF those are applicants for the choir
guess it won't be depleted quite 30 fast
| next summer"
Mt Fuller appeared shortly afterward
and seemed quite pleased with his new
applicants, but refused 10 say whether
| he had pledged them to at least a year OF
single blcHsedness before accepting them. -
There's nothing unusual about all this,
said he. -Other churches have the Same
eiifficIlty, but under the circumstances
think can easily all al vacancies.

This. however, is considered unlucky,

nearly every race has some similar
saying,
The idea, however, would appear to
me, not that you are not doing good
to yourself by avoiding for the time

you are intensifying a misfortune which
Is bound TO happen sooner or later.

zine, it combines with the pains
taking requirement Of knowledge.
typical of German education, an
idea Of research; in America it is
the Old-fashioned general collegi-
ate education modified by paying
special attention TO technical sub.
jects, with a yeneering of manual
training; in England today it is
chaotic, but with a tendency to
keep technical education on "a
trade basis.
AS far as facilities go, Germany
depends upon state aid, which has
been literally supplied; America.
to a large extent, upon personal
contributions; while England is
in the unfortunate position of
having little state aid and no large
benefactions.
The aim of technical education
is to apply scientific discovery to
practical work. When any new
discovery is made in science there
are two attitudes to be conside-
ered-the first is, how can ! de,
velop this discovery; the SECOND
is, how can l apply it. Germgny,
without neglecting the second at
titude, has added to its technical
instruction the first attitude
that is, the Germans combine re-
search with application. In
America it is only lately that tech
nical education has concerned it.

Don't worry.

This is easier SAID than done, yet
it may be of some help to consider
the matter. 1.-THE case Is something
over which you have no control 1T is
obvious that worrying will not help
the matter in the least. On the
other hand, if within your control
you have only to act. When you
have a cold and tear an attack OF
pneumonia, buy bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and use it
judlciously and all cause for worry
as to the outcome will quickly dis
appear. There is no danger OF
