In the ancient times there lived a

any question put TO him. There was
one, however. who thought himself
clever enough to outwIt the sage. This
man took a poor, captive bird and
clasped II SO closely in his hand that
only the head and tail were visible.

this artful plotter. he would Just open

Has the Wasp AnectiOnH

A colony of wasps made a nest in the
dark room of a studio last summer. At
first the party who used the room did
hot relish their company, but for GER
tain reasons he did not modest them.
He paid no attention TO the little buzz
zers. and they came and went at their
own sweet will. After n time he began
to study them and soon came to the
conclusion that they were gradually
becoming acquainted with him, his
ways and his dark room. One day a
stranger was seated on the window sill.
The first wasp~enterlng the room paid
no attention to him, but made for the
old crack in the wall. Then out came
a big fat fellow who darted through
the open window like a bullet. Within
five minutes half a dozen wasps came
with a rush at the stranger and two

The American Buffalo.

The buffalo is the bulkiest living land
animal native TO North America. A
full grown buffalo bull stands about
five feet eight or ten inches at the
shoulder and weighs about 1880
pounds. But specimens of over six
feet at the withers have been recorded,
and Mr.. Hornaday tells me that he
weighed a living bull nj 2,190 pounds.
A full grown COW stands about four
feet eight at the shoulders and, accord
ing to Audubon, weighs about 1920
pounds, though Henry says seldom over
700 or 800 pounds. The lower weight
seems to be nearer the average run,

Fish Sold Alive.

Fleusburg, a seaport town on the east
coast Of Schleswig-H olstein, has an ex-
cellent system of bringing to port fish
which are intended for immediate con-
sumption. Instead Of packing the fish
in the hold of the vessel the fishermen
use fat, oblong boxes, drilled with
holes to allow free access Of water, and
into these the live fish are placed as
soon as caught and are towed under
water. By this the fish are kept
alive until the harbor is reached, and
they are then taken u of the boxes
and sold alive on the quay, so that
there can be no question as TO their
absolute freshness.

A SERMON
A sermon preached IN the First Baptist Church
Rro0kings, s. D., by GEORGE 4. MORPHY
and published by request.

1ezt-"Tho Lord added 10 the church dayil
such as should be- saved" Acts2I9
The subject Of the sermon this morn
ing was suggested 10 my mind by a
question that was asked me in recent
conversation, Why should one join
the church, Thinking that this ques-
ton might BE- one hat is in the minds
OF many people, as the pulpit should
aim 10 be practical and meet the
qu~estionings that are continually arts
ing in human breasts, | have decided
to discuss the subject Of joining the
church-at this time.
The statement Of scripture which
| have chosen for the text offers a
very sufficient endorsement of the
church of Jesus Christ and gives the
highest sanction TO the act OF uniting
with the people OF God. For if the
Lord was added TO the church daily
such as were being saved We have in
His action the highest sanction for
uniting with the church.
That was indeed a wonderful time,
that P~etecostal period, when the pow
or Of God was manifested so striking
ly in the salvation OF souls by the
Holy Spirit. II would seem that when
souls were converted to God the Di-
church of Christ II may be stated as
a general rule that when a sinner is
converted 10 Christ the O natural
thing for him 10 do is TO identify him.
self with the people Of God. He will
wish 70 come into the church and live
the Christian life in fellowship with
others Of like mind with himself. Unit
ing with the church, il done with the
right spirit, is a recognition of the
obligation owed to God. Jesus Christ
has given two positive commandments
in His gospel These are baptism and
the Lords Supper. If these are pro
perly obeyed the degenerate person will
be brought into fellowship with the
church, for the act of baptism is the
formal passing from the world into
the church. The Lords supper is a
church ordinance, TO eat the supper
acceptably one should belong to the
church. That Christ founded His
church is a fact that a De historic
ally proved. That He sent forth His
Apostles with His gospel is also a
matter Of history, That He gave to
them His commission to make dis
ciples Of all nations cannot be ques-
toned. Our gratitude TO Jesus Christ
for what He has done for us should
lead us TO give ourselves to Him and
to His church for service in His name.
But again We find another reason for
uniting with the church. 1t is that We
may identify ourselves with the high
st moral and spiritual forces OF So
ciety. The churches of a community
create end consecrate moral senti-
ment. A city without a temple is a
city without religion. A city without
religion is a city without morality. A
city without morality is a city without
law. A city without Law is a city with
out safety. We recognize the value Of
churches in a city to make ii a good
place 10 live in. In the city OF Grin
