Of embalming fluid. but in order to

tablishment, to see what the case might
be. The doors were opened cautiously
and the undertaken peered into the

The decision Of the Rock River con
ference to the effect that the old fash
toned Sunday schools are too slow to
suit the ripping pace of the modern
up to- date scholar. is prolific of sug
gestioas There is no doubt that the
Sunday school needs rejuvenating, and
with this end in view an experiment
might be made along the following
lines:
In the first place what is the matter
with adopting the INSTALLATION system
which has been so successful in incul-
eating in the minds of the pupils of
the public schools. how to spell wrong.
1t would appear that this might be
adopted in the Sunday schools with
splendid results in the way of inducing
a large attendance.
Our suggestion would provide for the
erection of a hippodrome ring in the
center of the apartment devoted to the
Sunday school, on which Daniel in the
lions den might be realistically por-
trayed and the inmates of Noah's ark
exhibited in a limited sort OF way.
other Bible stories might be similarly
illustrated.
In one corner of the room there
business might be combined with pleas
ure especially If the Sunday school hap
pened to be one where immersion is q
part of the baptismal ceremony. The
usual platform wherefrom the Sunday
school superintendent is wont to eX-
hort the boys and girls to live noble
lives and love one another, should be
given over to a black face minstrel
troupe and the morals pointed out by
way of time honored and other jokes
Instead OF the staid old gospel hymns
why not substitute rag-time? The
song about Not Because Your Hair is
Curly" etc, might be adapted to righte-
Gus ends by a few Slight changes as
follows
Not because your hair is curly,
Not because your eyes are blue;
I want you to know my dearie,
You're the best Sunday school scholar
I eer knew.
There's something in your style anC
manner
That seems to tell me, tell me true
It's because you learn each Sabbath
lesson
And that is why I love just you.
1t seems to be a question of attend
ance that is worrying the members o
the conference and there is no doub
that this method would have a tend
ency to greatly increase the member
ship in a Sunday school where it nigh
| be adopted.

Women's clubs are in the main

do amazingly fool things. In a leading

membership She was a professional
woman of unexceptionable standing
socially and morally and Intellectually
even brilliant She was proposed for
membership and vouched for by some
Of the clubs most respected members,
yet the fool women Of the governing
board rejected her This was the rea-
son: An outsider, who had nothing at
all to do with the government Of the
club, told some of the executive COM
mittee she had heard the candidate had
done things frowned on by Tables
nothing wrong, perhaps, but just
frowned on by old tabbies. Without
the least investigation, against the
protests Of the candidates vouchers.
the cats on that board turned her
down. Afterward it was found out
that it was not the candidate at all
who was said to have acted unconven-
tionally. but another woman who hap
pened TO bear similar name. Was or
