A CHURCH THAT PAYS.
Baptist CONGREGATION Makes Good
Financial Record.

The Shoshone Baptist church held
its annual meeting last Wednesday
evening, and the reports showed that
the church is in a very prosperous con-
dition.
The follow 'ng report shows the col
lections and expenditures during the
Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1907-09-13

One other offering has not been re
ported yet.
This is a very good showing for a
church of less than 80 members, and
this amount has been raised by free
will offerings, no one outside of the
membership being solicited to contribute
toward the church. 1t is a striking
proof that New Testament methods are
still abreast of the times.
Rev. Thos. NJ. Patterson B. D. begins
the fourth year of his paatorate OF the
Shoshone Baptist church.

The Introduction Of modern detail
cost accumulating methods, which have
done much to systematic and cheaper
manufacture, has led to the develop
ment Of an ingenious apparatus which
indicates at a distance when any ma
chine is stopped and the output of any
machine for a given period. Moreover,
the device makes an automatic record
of all these facts so that at the close
Of the day the manager, by scanning
their graphic records, can tell the ex-
act output Of any machine ard the
length of time 1t was In operation
thereby enabling him to form an accu-
rate judgment of the reliability of diff
ferent operators. The beauty of this
device is that the workman knows his
every movement Is being reported In
the managers Office and he is helpless
to misrepresent conditions.
The recorder consists of control
ling clock, which revolves series of
time charts, one for each machine I'M

sion of hours are printed vertically on
the chart, In addition to which a series
OF pencils are rigidly fixed. The ad-

WALL PAPERS FROM CHINA,
Daily of PekinE, Now I'm It's 1,2OOth
Year, Printed on Silk.

Daily of Peking, Now I'm It's 1,2OOth
Year, Printed on Silk.
We are apt to forget, writes Miss
Kate Sanborn, in her new book, "Old-
Time Wall Papers," how much we owe
to the Chinese nation-the mariners
compass, gunpowder, paper, printing by
movable types Ga daily paper has been
published in Peking for 1,2OO years
printed, too, on silk. They had what
we call the golden rule 500 years before
Christ was born. With six times the
population of the United States they
are the only people In the world who
have maintained a government for
5000 years.
The earliest papers we hear Of any
where were imported from China and
had Chinese or Indian patterns, COM
ing first In small sheets, then in rolls.
Some of the more elaborate kinds were
printed by hand; others were printed
blocks. These papers, used for walls,
for hangings and for screens, were
called "pagoda papers" and were dec
GRATED with flowers, symbolic animals
and human figures.
The Dutch were among the most en-
terprising, Importing painted hangings
from China and the East about the
middle Of the sixteenth century. Per
haps these originated In Persia: the
word "ch1ntz" Is of Persian origin
and the French name for Its limitations
was 'PerseS."
About 1740 the VompagnIe des Indies
began to import these papers directly.
They were then also called Indian
papers" Aug. 81, 1874, we find an
advertisement: For sale-2O sheets OF
India paper, representing the cultiva-
ton of tea"
Such a paper, with this theme was
brought to America $50 years ago-a
hand-painted Chinese wall paper, which
has been on a house ever since and is
to-day In a good state Of preservation.

Life a DiscipIine.


Sooner or later we find out that life
Is not holiday, but discipline. Ear
Her or later we will discover that the
world is not a playground. 1t is quite
clear that God means it for a school.
The moment we forget that, the puzzle
or life begins We try to play in school.
The Master does not mind that so much
for Its own sake, for He likes to see
His children happy; but In our play
Ing we neglect our lessons. We do not
see how much there is to learn, and we
do not care. But our Master cares. He
has a perfectly overpowering and mex
plicable solicitude for our education
and because He loves us He comes into
the school sometimes and speaks to US.

Gods Design.

In our whole life-melody the music
Is broken off here and there by rests, :"
and we foolishly think we have come
to the end of the tune. God sends a
time Of forced leisure, a time of sick
ness and disappointed plans and makes
a sudden pause in the choral hymn of
our lives, and we lament that our
voices must be silent and our part miss
ing in the music which ever goes up to
the ear of the Creator. Not
without design does God write the
music Of our lives. Be it ours to learn
the tune and not be dismayed at the
rests" If we look up, God will beat
the time for us.-Ruskin.

Poverty Is largely a matter Of fancy.
The real poverty Is in the mind-in
the minds attitude. There Is such a
thing as being rich without money.
That man Is rich who Is rich In integ-
rity, and who has that best of all
blessings. a contented mind-C Christian
contentment- This last great boon Is
gained through making the most of our
little enjoyments, through making the
least Of our little lacks, through doing
our best at our little dutIes-throush
trusting in God and doing the right
To be sure, we cannot all be money
rich. Some money-rich people are very
poor. But we can all be milllonaires
Of character and of faith, possessing
that gOdhneSs which, with contentment.
Is great gain, the real gain, the high
est riches--G. B. F. Hallock, d. D.

Christ is the only teacher OF real
prayer. He teaches by example and
precept- He prayed trust1ngly, con-
gtantly, In intimate friendship with the
Father. He teaches us to pray as He
did. Solitude, isolation and retirement
are essential to prayer. Get away from
the world somewhere, alone. Our
households must be 30 arranged as to
permit a quiet time alone each day,
without interruption or observation. In
prayer there must be absolute concen-
tration of the mind. Read the Bible
prayerfully. Here God talks to His
children. Let the thought of earthly
communion with the heavenly Father
become habituaL Practice the pres

hour of prayer as the most delightful
season of the day. Keep the Quiet
Hour. If you thus learn to pray In
secret, your public prayers will take
care of themselves.

FOR THE CHILDREN
W. IN e IL a. pinnin


Here Is game thar Is fun when you
are all sitting quietly some afternoon
on the piazza. The game is called
what win you take to the plcnicG'
and Is played in the following manner:
To begin with, only one should be let
into the secret. as If all knew 1t would
be no fun. Suppose the hostess Is the
one familiar with the game. She then
commences by announcing that she
proposes to give picnic and that it
depends upon what her guests bring
whether they win be allowed to come
or not. Each must furnish two articles
Of food.
She then asks the person nearest her,
What viii you bring to the plcnicr'
II the name of neither OF the articles
the player mentions commences with
the initial letter Of his or her Christian
or surname, the hostess says the play
er cannot go, and Immediately puts
the question to the next person, and
then all the way round, asking each.
what win you bring to the picnicT'
For example, suppose one girls name
h Mary Smith and that her donation
ls candy and bread. Then she cannot
go, for neither Of her names COM
mences with @ or b. But II she took
sandwiches and macaroons she would
be doubly welcome, for M and 3 are
both her initials. should she take sug-
ar and crackers she could 60, for one
Of her names commences with 8.
Continue TO ask the question until
every one finally understands why they
may either go or stay home from the
picnic. 1t IL very amusing when all
but one or two have found out, and
they sometimes have to be asked over
and over again until they finally dis.
cover why they are not wanted.
