he found two pan-hooks, to which he
carefully fastened certain things that
he was carrying.

by an outcry from Mrs. Flynn.

Policeman Flynn rolled out of bed
and hastily reached for his Sunday
boots, his only other pair having been
left near the outer door when he took
them off the night before. This feel
ing that he had only to put on his
boots to be fully dressed was the re-
suit of sleeping at the station on re-

excitement. But now he received a
shock.
"Oh, tn murtherin' divil!" he cried.

Mrs Flynn found time to ask.

Flynn, from the foot of the stairs.
The next moment he pushed open
the door of the kitchen, and the three

For answer Terry simply pointed
to a row of pan hooks on the wall,
and laughed some more. From the

Flynn had missed, stretched all out
of shape by the statuette thai pro-

beater that looked over the top of the
other, with incidental Jumps of large
size to indicate where little china

things had been crowded in. Next to

blushed to note the knobby shape it
had assumed in its efforts to provide
room for the regulation box of candy,

The Billy boy Story.

BY Louise II. Pop o.

Once upon a time there were three
little boys. Their names were Josie
boy and Charlie-boy and Billy-boy.
They lived with their. mother IN
small brown house at the edge OF
wood
my children" said Mrs. Brown one
day, "be good little boys while | am
gone to the city. Don't play IN the wa
ter, nor wander in the wood, nor med
die with the pepperbox."
She kissed them all good bye, josie
boy on the left cheek, because his
face was turned toward the wood;
Charlie-boy on the right cheek, because
his face was turned toward the water;
and Billy-boy Oh the mouth, for he was
looking up listening to all that she was
saying.
Then Mrs Brown drew on her gloves
raised her parasol. and started down
the road to take the train for the city.
There she bought a pair of shoes for
Josie-boy,-a pair OF trousers for Char
lic-boy, and pretty straw hat for Bill
lyboy.
Josie-boy walked to the edge Of the
wood. climbed TO the top rail of the
fence, where he sat and >whistled a
tune.

POLLiE.

When Polite chose her plenishing
She bargained such way
She got a stylish setting out,
Yet little had to pay;
She bought a tip-up table, exc
A lovely roasting jack.
Her china it was mulb'ry, and
Her chairs were fiddle-back.
How cheerful was that keeplnS-rOom
When ev'rything was new.
The wax flowers under shining giass-
The alr-tight shining, too.
When Polite went to housekeeping
She hadn't learned to cook,
She tried to follow recipes
x From Mrs. Classes Book:
Her siilibubs refused to frotll,
Her jelly wouldn't jell
And nd what to fry the daushnuts In IN

Oh, noisy WAS that keeping-roon'
How the disorder grew!
With baby loudly roaring, and

When Pollics folks so pleasurlns
Now Polio stops at home,
She says she has SO much to DO
She doesn't care to roam;
And when she's got the stockings darned,
She folds her hands while,

With the old cat a-purring, and
The air-tight purring, too.

SUPERSTITION RIFE.

While constancy grows, superstition

word, and tracing the word to it's
goes to prove that it was a man who
brought it to New York. 1t is written
but must never be spoken. After you
have it, you pass it on, but not prom
iscuously. Usually for a friend who
lis trusted worthy, it is written on a
sard. From one to another. it has
been passed this summer, and the
majority of those who have it report
wonderful rise in fortune. Said a
girl among the journalists who have
It, .'Why, now I'm just in clover, thick
beautiful clover, and how l like the
odor Of it. It's good after all the
hard times" Then she passed it cD

ciety. Not to be lump of clay to

passing trickster, but to be an artist

and hand to execute his will on the

The work of the church does not
grow more easy, but when she comes
into her rightful heritage-the con-
viction of her divinely ordained privi-
lege as the lover Of men-then she
Will begin to realize her mission. But
first, last and always, she will gain
her adherents in the ratio of her
enthusiasm for and devotion to hui
manity.
Finally, the church that brings
back the men will be the church that
takes Christ to the needy world. It.
sometimes seems as though there are
so many other voices that the cry of
the church and her Christ will be
drowned in the din of materialism.
But there are still some listening ears
that will not be stopped. Into the
midst of this wild storm of buying
and selling, of loss and gain, of cry
ing and laughing, Of sorrow and sin,
will come, once more, the humble
Nazarene, and His voice will turn
the tempest to calm: BE still, and
know that 1 am God!" Jesus left
an unanswerable argument to His
interest in humanity when He gave
Himself to men. Anything else that
He might have given would have
been criticised; but when He gave
Himself, that softened the hard heart
of the world because they saw that
only love could do that The fellow
ship by which Jesus is to unite men
| with Himself in His everlasting king
dom is the fellowship of love.
| The duty and opportunity OF the
church is to put forward the kingdom
+, Of God, to make~sure the enthrOne-
| ment of Jesus Christ in the affections
Of men; to cultivate fervid enthu-
siasm for their souls; to take to the
| worlds sicknesses the match1esS
| Physician who never lost case in
trusted to His care. When men know
that the church is praying and long
I ing and laboring, with divine pas
sion, for their souls, they will come
! to the Christ and to the church.
| The hour of victory seems long
delayed, but every soldier must keep
his place and by and by the warfare
will be accomplished. We must re-
member that not only was the mans
hand under the angels wing, but the
angels wing was over the man
/ hand. God and the church will work
side by side. The human and the
divine will supplement each other.
It is said that Napoleon once ap-
pealed to his guards in the interests
Of a forlorn hope. He made request
for only a hundred men. But they
must all be brave. Every man would

nothing but death could be expected.
tsLet a hundred men step forward out
Of the ranks! Forward, march," AT
the word of command, not hundred
men, but regiment sprang forth as
single man and were ready for duty
and death.
And shall Christ ask in vain fol
volunteers? Has His cause come to
be a for1orn hope? All, not to die
not to die, but to live for Him, is al

THE PULPIT.
AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. JOEL B. SLOCUM.


Brooklyn, N. Y.-"The Church and
the Men, was the subject discussed
Sunday morning in the Greenwood
Baptist Church by the Rev. Joel B.
Slocum, whose text was Ezekiel 1913:
And there appeared in the cherubim
the form of mans hand under
their wings" Mr.. Slocum said,
among other things:
1t is significant that in the midst
OF the complicated celestial forces re-
vealed to EZekial there was the ap-
pearance of mans hand under the
wings of the cherubim, as though
supporting their flight
There has never been time when
the multiplied machinery of Chris
uanity did not disclose, somewhere,
the hand Of a man. Never was the
presence and power of that hand.
and all that goes with it, more needed
than now. No reflection is intended
upon the great host of faithful
women and earnest men who, in all
ages, have carried forward the bur-
dens of the church; but the need of
the hour is more men. l saw, the
other day, in the window Of a grocery,
TINS brief but pressing request:
'Wanted-A strong boy" And the
thought flashed upon me that we need
in our churches strong boys who will
grow up to be strong men. Not
strong boys to tarry awhile in the
Sunday-schOol and then graduate
away from it and from everything
else connected with the church, but
boys who will stay and put their
manhood where it will continue to
count for the most.
We are facing a somewhat startling
fact-the fact that, as a rule, men
do not go to church. Vastly more
serious is the fact that the church nc
longer enters into the serious con
slderaticn of most men, Mine is not
the mission of the alarmist and the
pess,mist. l do not seek to over
emphasize an unpleasant truth. II
is the purpose of the speaker this
morning merely to look this condition
squarely in the face as he passes t6
some other considerations. 1t is
enough for our present purpose tt
recognize that the men are not with
us; and, without discussing the rea
sons for their absence, hasten to con
Germ ourselves with the al1-importan1
business Of bringing them back
The church that succeeds in thi!
great ieStOfaLlOn Will be the Cnurcf
whose all-absorhing objective is the
kingdom Of God. "But,'' exclaim!
some hearar, "do you mean to impl.
that any Christian church could hav,
any other goal than the kingdom? p
Most assuredly that is my imp1ica
ton. Have you not known a churcl
whose aim was centred, not in tht
Kingdom, but in the church, the loca
organization itself?
There is great danger lest we mis-
the proper point of view. It is on,
thing to be 50 absorbed in the pros
per:ty OF the individual church G
which we are members as to los
sight Of anything beyond its advance
ment. It is quite another thing t.

never fail into the error Of supposin

Charlie-boy walked to the edge Of the
pond and lay on tie green bank watch
ing the frogs.
Billy-boy went straight to the kitch-
en- pantry, and took the pepper-box
down from the shelf He scattered pep
per upon the floor, and the pepper made
Billy-boy sneeze. He rubbed his nose,
and the pepper got into his eyes and
panied them Sc much that he ran to the
pond to wash them out
The little frogs that were summing
themselves on logs or stones jumped
in with a sound like mp" when Billy
appeared, and Billy-boy tried to catch
one by the hind-leg; but, instead, Billy
boy himself went into the water head
first, and Charlie-boy pulled him out
by the leg.

ly-boy. So he ran around the pond
three times without stopping, and still
he was not dry

Char1e-boy. So Billy-boy ran around
the small brown house three times, and
still he was not dry.
Run around the yard" suggested
Charlie-boy. So Billy-boy ran around
the yard until he came to the side by
the wood where sat Josie-boy on the
top rail Of the fence, whistling, and
still he was not dry.
sI'll run through the wood" said
Billy-boy. So in and out between the
rows of trees went Billy, and was soon
lost to view
He ran along one woodland path,
