Habit Was the Result Of Confidence
In the Pastor.
There is no greater stickler in this
district for constant church attend
ance than certain lady who resides
in northeast Washington not many
squares from the Congressional LIZ
brary.
There is one little sin, however-if
1t is allowable to call it a sin-that
this devotee to regular church service
frequently allows to get possession OF
her, and that is the fault of taking \
furtive nap frequently during the
preachers discourse.
A friend twitted her upon this
weakness the other day. why is it.
Mrs. c." she said. that you, such
regular churchgoer, should go to
sleep in church SO often? feel that

let you know that people are begin
ming to notice it,
We'll, my dear" was the response,
you know l have every confidence in
our beloved pastor. l know that he
will preach first-class sermon with
out having my eye on him all the
time, and | am not afraid to trust
him. So don't wake me up when l
am nodding in church unless should
happen to snore. In that case you
are at liberty to stab me with your
hatpin. Washington Star.

Let us remember that it does not
pay to stand still and complain.
Attend to your own business we'll.
Fault finding accomplish very lit
tie. 1t will always pay to have
and to keep a teacher and minis
ter with good morals. The teach
or, or misister, who is not trying
to do all he can to build up the
community in which he is at work
should either begin at once or give
up his job. 1t is very wrong to
keep your family in a house that
has but one room. A roomy and
comfortable house makes pleas
enter wife and better children.
The comfort of the place the hus-
band prepares for his wife and
daughters shows how much he
cares for them. Be sure to plant
and to keep for their comfort plen-
ty of corn, peas, potatoes, syrup,
hay, hogs, COWS, chickens etc. A
few acres well cultivated. 1t will
pay to own your home and i'm
prove it. Raising your own ma
nure is the way to build up the
farm. The good farmer always
cultivates his land in IA way to
leave it in better shape than he
found it.-Tuskegee Student.
The Colorado statesman., 1905-02-11

We call attention to our mini S.
tiers to the result they might pos
sibly have upon general public
opinion, and especially in the way
of bringing our people in closer
business touch with the whites.
The thought causes us to wonder
if our churches and their ministers
make as much effort along this
line as they should. we have
long felt that n minister who would
devote his active efforts to en-
couraging temporal improvement
among the colored people would
be discharging an important duty
to God. But many of our minis
ters appear to believe that the on
ly great question engaging them is
the outward success of the partic-
ular body they are leading, and
that their duty to the general pub
lie and the race is only incidental.
1t seems to us that out of the
church, should grow many move
ments designed to put the Negro
on higher ground. They ought to
urge their congregations to the
support of all such endeavors.

Parts With Enqlish Estates.

The duke of Fife is one of the few
land owners in Great Britain who do
not believe in the accumulation of
vast estates. For some years he has
steadily parted with his land as op
portunity Afforded holding that one
man cannot control large tracts OF
territory to the best advantage of the
community. He is probably the only
total abstainer among the dukes in
the house OF lords.

Four O'clock.


"What time is 1t. please?"

To the little flowers
In the garden bed.
And all Were as still

"How do you know7''
l. asked the flower:
"You have no watch
TO tell you the hour
Do you hear a bell
or "a tick. took. took.
That you close your eyes
When it's four o'clock?"
But the pretty blossom
Would not say
How 1t always knew
The time of day.

To the big gray rock.
And sleepily murmured.
