ed on the following subject; Mod
ern Minister'S Task. .
Rev. Mcdaniel said that the SUI
preme business of the minister Is to
preach the Gospel. The modern min
lister must be man in every sense
of that term. a man among men and
Interested in men. very great
part OF the modern minister's task
IS the bearing OF his ANNOUNCEMENTS
occasioned by the failure of his peo-
pie to properly support him. There
needs to be revival OF the sense of
personal responsibility The sermon
was an excellent one and left good
Impression upon those who heard it.
In closing Rev. Mcdaniel gave a
brief summary of the record the
church has made under his pastor
ate. IN that time church debt of
SO 800 has been paid. 800 spent
in improving the church property, a

Incidents Which Sho1o Light Heart

Alfonso XIII of Spain, who is to marry Pr1n-
cess Ena of Battenberg at Madrid on Thursday
May 81 is credited with being somewhat preco-
cious, wilful and hater Of the formallty Whlch
hedges about the Spanish Court to such an eX-
tent that it has been described as etiquette rid
den. Many stories told of his imperiousness
Perhaps these characteristics have been aug
mented through the circumstance that he was
already a king when, twenty years ago on May
H. his slight form, resting on a velvet cushion
ard covered with lace, was carried forth from his
natal chamber to the anteroorD where all the
officials of state in waiting to see him.
His precocity is illustrated by a story told of

But" exclaimed the lad, what is left for me
in all this parliamentary business? Where is
my place my power, my authority?'
The teacher, embarrassed. tried to evade the
question
No no; want to know what have to do"
That he had an early idea Of his kngly
dignity is shown in another anecdote often told
of him The Queen Regent, when ne was an in
FAINT was in the habit of calling him Alfonsito
in private. On one occasion a minister said to
him. How you, Alfonsito?
The little fellow looked at him moment, and
'N4N
to you am the King"
His pranks and his jokes have sometimes been
uncomfortable to those about him. if one may
believe the stories of several incidents which
are said to have occurred in the course of his
first tour of the Spanish provinces. These show
also his dislike of the etiquette surrounding his
position when it interferes with his desires
It was on this journey that the King com
plained of being bored, and asked why he could

Of his person, explained that etiquette demanded
that the people so away first
oh they must, eh?" replied the youthful
King. 'I'u soon send them away"
A moment later, in hush. Alfonso doubled
his fists, placed them to his mouth in imitation
of a bugle and sounded taps; then stretched his
arms and yawned The people took the hint
In Santander the King received the city's
keys on a street stand. AS they were handed to
him the crowds cheered.
Long live the King, Long live Asturias!
Long live Spain! Long live Santander!"
In the silence which ensued the King leaned
toward the Duke of Veragua and cried:
You didn't get anything this time. did you?
No long life for you"
The King visited the shrine In Cabadonga. and
the Bishop exhibited to him st. Peters toenail
and St PauTs hair The King stopped him
with:

The Bishop scandalized, replied that he did.

that Is largely the purpose of the
