REV. I. B. THOMPSON
IN HIS NEW FIELD
PREACHED INITIAL SERMON
AT MILWAUKEE SUNDAY.
Assistant to Rev. JudsOn Tits
worth of Plymouth Congrega-
tlOndl ChurCh-IntroduCed to
New Congregation in Zero
Wedther-Comment FdvOrdbly.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The Milwaukee Sentinel, yesterday
morning made the following reference
to the initial sermon OF the Rev.
1. b. Thompson, now assistant to
the Rev. Judson Ellsworth of the
Plymouth Congregational church and
who left Watertown last Friday to
enter upon the discharge of his
duties in his new field of labor:
The Rev. T. B. Thompson of
Watertown, Wis, newly appointed
assistant pastor of Plymouth Congre-
gational church, p cached his first SER
mon last night. In spite of the fact
that the thermometer was below zero
good sized congregation attended
the services to hear the pastor, who
in the future will preach the Sunday
evening sermons.
1.-The great human needs, the
omnipotence of Jesus Christ, and the
wonderful power of the hand of the
church extended for human fellowship
and service. formed the theme of
Mr.. Thompson's discourse. " Silver
and gold have l none but that which
| have give 1 willingly unto you, ;"
the speaker quoted from St. Peter, as
exemplifying the willing spirit of the
church in the alienation of human
suffering.
4" All about US is a world IN pain
and trouble " he said. " 'Inoeed
there is so much pain, and sorrow, and
trouble that sometimes life seems to
be lived in a shadow. The great
church of Jesus Christ is called upon
time and again to recognize human
needs. The world doesn't seem to
realize what is it's trouble, what is its
disease, and the great secret of the
| wor Ids sickness, as in the sickness of
an individual, is in diagnosing Alright
Its complaint.
The greatest thing is not that
the world has trouble. but that some
how 1t is trying to rid itself of its
disease, that somehow men are trying
to discover way to find the solution
of all their problems and difficulties.
1t is splendid compliment the
church of Jesus Christ that while meu
may go to their clubs and th-aters
and other places of like character for
their amusement, in the great griefs
which beset their lives and the great
sorrows which break their hearts they
turn to her for relief and surcease of
pain and trouble. -
The Free Press made the following
comment:

the marvellous healing power of a
sympathy IN time of need or sorrow,

THE PEOPLES LOBBY.

Washington is watching with much
interest the working out of distinct
ly new idea in public affairs. This
is the Peoples Lobby,-a non-partisan
organization designed to foster a
wider knowledge of national legisla-
tion, and to indorse or oppose such
bills as effect the general welfare of
he people. The basic idea is that.
If the people know the facts on legis-
tive matters, pub lie opinion will fad
such wide expression that it cannot
be disregarded. Channels of public
ity are not lacking. The Peoples
Lobby has the support of large

A COSTLY HUMBUG

The House of Representative last
week re-enacted the old and weather
beaten designation providing for the
distribution of free SEEDS by the
Department of Agriculture. This
expenditure does not amount to very
much. 1t is an appropriation for
1928, 900 to be expended IN field and
garden seeds that are afterwards put
up by the government and distributed
in small packages to members of
Congress-. Each member is entitled
to IL, 900 packets of nominal value
of 5 cents each. These are sent out
under government franks to the consti-
tuents of the members, and are sup
posed to have some little effect in i'm
pressing the rural constituents with
the fact that "his Congressman"
remembers his name and address and
consequently is more or less of per-
sonal friend. Seedsmen all over the
country have been fighting this system
of free distribution for many years.
Naturally it hurts their business about
$238, 600 worth. There was this year
a great effort made to do away with
the free seed distribution and make
the same appropriation available for
the purchase and distribution of rare
and valuable seeds' thus leaving the
sale of common seeds in the hands of
firms who make business of it. This
change in the free seed law was recon-
mended by the House Committee on
Agriculture and there was every reason
to suppose that like most recommend
ed bills 1T would 60 through without
trouble, but the House calmly rejected
the recommendation, and put in the
old appropriation just as it has existed
for the past forty years
The explanation Of this action seems
almost to small to credit, yet it is this.
Many of the members who are entitled
to their quota Of 1900 packets of
seeds are men from city districts who
have little call to distribute flower
seeds at all. but instead OF failing to
call tor their quota. they all draw the
$4,000 packets and then the members
who do not want the seeds sell them
to the members who do. Congressman
before the Agricultural Committee
who are in the habit, of, sending out
from 20, QUO to so, 900 packets of seeds
admitted that they bought the
extra packets from young men around
the Capitol who made business of
selling them. The regulation price
seemed to be q cent q packet, which
would make just little graft of
$12O for each member who sold his
entire quota, and less than that for
members who sold olny part of it.
Such proceeding seems almost too
small to credit, but it is true none the
less, and the proof lies in the fact
that the free seed appropriation has
been put through the House as usual in
the face of the Committees rec M
mendation.

Why "carnation Dan" o'Leary Gave

Up the Habit.
Dan OLeary, known on every race
track in the country as "Carnatlon
Dan has eaten his last piece OF store

tempted to tackle a cut Of the home

my estimate.
In my pie-eating research, as it
were have discovered d great many
strange things which are not on the

apt to find almost anything in a piece
Of mince pie, and if I had the same
luck in picking the winners as I have

Of pie I'd be a millionaire.
Little articles like a collar button,
match, writing pen or a telephone slug

Those are common with me. Years
ago thought I had come across every
thing that could possibly find its way
into store pie, but I had a guess COM

The other night I dropped into

piece of hot mince I was eating
away, enjoying it, when I felt some
thing in my mouth that didn't taste
exactly like pie.

It Paws To Advertise.

News comes from Hamilton, Ohio,
that William Duke. affectionately
known as Uncle Billy" has just been
married to Mrs. Markham, who was
a Lee, of Virginia and cousin OF
General Robert E. Lee "Uncle Billy
is seventy-fve years old and his wife
is forty-eight.
How did Uncle Billy who was a
bachelor secure a wife? We are told
that he did it by advertising, and that
he had persevered in this course for
ffty-two years. 1t is said that he
spent thousands of dollars in adver-
Using and in paying the expenses OF
women who came to see him, but all
former applicants were unsuitable or
refused to marry him. Did Uncle
Billy get discouraged? Not a bit Of it.
He knew the successful advertiser is
he who stays, and his staying power
was equal to the demand. He is at
last rewarded by seeing his aim ac-
complished. Let other advertisers
