st. Luke's Day in England.
rom the London Chronicle


There seems no particular reason why
ST. Luke's day should be the occasion of
the old Dish fair at York. held in Mickle
Gate. This used to be a fair chiefly for
wooden dishes. ladies and SO on; and to
ridicule the smallness and unimportance
of the wares sold and bought at it, an
old custom prevailed of carrying about
a large wooden spoon in procession, borne
by four laborers. each one of whom was
carried by another laborer. There must
have been many unemployed in the York
of olden days; but the custom is interest
ing to note ON account of its analogy with
the contemptuous use of the wooden spoon
at Cambridge The spoon as a symbol of
poverty or of wealth is very English. Our
proverb about being born with silver spoon
in the mouth. for instance is rendered in
French far more charmingly as "etre ne
COFFEE.
ST. Luke's day is also called Whip Dog
day in thealmanacs. which refer us to
the quaint offices of dog whipper and slug
gard walker that used to be held generally
by one person attached to every church
AS late as 1857 there is a record of one of
these officials at Dunchurch. who, armed
with wand that had fork at the end
of it, used to go round the church during
sermon time and wake the sleepers by
crooking 1t round their necks. Sometimes
the wand had foX's brush at the other
end with which to arouse lady sleepers
more courteously. In some places the whip
for driving dogs out of the church Is still
preserved: and till quite recently the
schoolboys had a custom of whipping the
dogs out of the streets on st. Luke's day
in a similar way. curious entry in the
Wakefield Church accounts runs thus:
"17O3: For hats. shoes. and hoses, for
sexton and dog whipper. 18s. 3D."

body. The Post Office Hall just west OF

that he will be a great addition to the
ministerial forces of the national capital

Mrs. WhItehouse are in the prime of life
they are coming to the capital with the de-
termination to make the new Emmanuel
Baptist Church one of the religious fac
tors in the community.
The services tomorrow will consist of
Bible school at $50 am. with preaching
services at IL am and pm. There will
be several attractive musical features I'M

Two forward movements were proposed
and adopted-the Christian Endeavor Pat
riots League, for the promotion of civic
righteousness and the national welfare in
non-partisan way, and the International
Brotherhood, for the promotion of peace
and good will among men,
Among the work reported as being done
by Christian Endeavor societies and unions
were efforts for hospitals and prisons, for
sailors and soldiers practical endeavorS TO
give holidays and fresh air to poor children,
to provide flowers and fruits to those who
are shut in, to engage in missionary and
evangelistic campaigns, to aid in hundred
different plans for temperance and good
citizenship, and village improvement. Eff
forts to promote Bible study and mission
study and systematic giving were reported
from all quarters.
Altogether, in spite of the regret and
sorrow felt at the departure of the pop
ular secretary, Mr.. Vogt, this was one Of
the most hopeful and important meetings
of the board ever held. Members of the
board, drawn from many denominations
and many parts of the country, expressed
the feeling that the outlook was never so
promising for Christian Endeavor as it is
today.

tensive Improvements.
Tentative plans have been drawn for the
new Northminister Presbyterian Church, N
street between 9th and 10th streets north
west, which will be constructed after New
Year at a cost Of $4,000.
Chairman l.. Gable Williamson of the
building committee who is acting for the
three hundred members, says that the pro-
posed edifce should be ready for occupancy
some time during the summer months.
The new church was made possible by the
consolidation of North and Assembly's
Presbyterian Churches. When the union of
New York Avenue and Assembly's failed of
contamination, owing to a disagreement
among certain factions of the two congre-
cations. Assembly's threw its entire
strength to North Church and $4,000 fund
realized out of the sale of their property
to a Hebrew congregation was appropriated
for the building of new place of worship.
Associated with Mr.. Williamson on the
building committee are: Col. C. H. Caring
ton, w. l.. Bennett, w. l.. Countryman, G.
A. Perry. Upon the acceptance of the
plans now in the hands of the architect
no hindrance will be offered to the begin
ming of the construction work.

Last eve welcomed to my quiet hearth

Though loved, had not looked upon her face
For many year.
Two long decades had passed since our farewell,
And time brings change to ALL
Our silvered locks give token that we wait
Our Masters call
She journeyed far. has seen the shimmering waves
And foreign lands with all their varied views
Live in her memory.
They need her in her chosen duty's place,
That one so faithful should have change Of scene
And wellearned rest
In tumult wild and free;
Again, to peaceful sunsets 1t will sing
low, sweet melody.
But sincere friendship knows no time nor change:
And, nearing the bright shore,
Our hearts grow tenderer for all pilgrim ones;
We love them more.
Each Of Gods creatures has his little world
His thoughts. his wishes. hopes and memories,
Are his alone.
My world has been the placid realm Of home;
And went to dwell among our heather KIM
To bring them home to God.
Nor from Hfe's trials has she been exempt
Its many wearing ills
Yet with true Christian faith she understands
That God SO Wills
And when she gains that happy heavenly home
Her burdens all laid down,
Each soul she helped to save will shine star

Breaking In a Rhinoceros.

From the Youths Companion.
There is an old story about a man who
had to have his arm amputated, and be-
gan by cutting off his fingers and then his
hand. In order to get used to it before I'M
dertaking the larger job. 1t does not sound
historically accurate, and may have grown
up from a tale narrated by Richard Bell
about rhinoceros which was broken in
to having his horn sawed off.
This animal, which lived in the London
Zoo, was troubled by Its horn, which grew
down In front Of its mouth, so that only
with difficulty could 1t eat or drink. To
save it's life the keeper decided on ampu-
tation.
The horn of the rhinoceros is not a horn
at all, but an accumulation of hair and
skin which has hardened and become ce-
mented together by some gummy SUBJ
stance The owner of this one had a very
touchy temper and was not easily ap-
preached. Its keeper, however, decided to
try what he could do.
For some days it required all his skill to
persuade the beast to come to the front of
the cage and put its horn through. Then
for some days he stroked the horn-much
to the animals disgust at first, although
later 1t seemed to like it. When 1t found
he meant no harm, 1t let him take the
horn In his left hand, and then with the

ton Entirely Self-Supporting.

Rev. George Ellsworth Whitehouse will
assume charge as the first pastor of the

morrow. This organization is the outcome
of a movement on the part of few MEM
bers of the Baptist denomination to have
representative church in the vicinity of
Mt. Pleasant, Columbia Heights and Wash
ington Heights A small Sunday school
was started in January, 1906, and the desire
for an independent church organization be-
came so strong in few weeks that on
March 90 last a definite church was formed
with forty-four members.
Services were maintained all during the
summer months, with Rev. J. B. Clayton
and other clergymen officiating. but the
demand for a regular pastor was SO great
