The Sailors Prayer Book.

This is what you call the sailors

as he kicked holystone out of the
way. why is it called that? Well, in
the first place it Is called that because
in using it, in holystoning the deck,
the sailor has to kneel down, and in
the second place, because all holy
stoning is done on Sunday. Don't
you know the chantey?-
Six days shalt thou work and do all that
thou art able.
And on the seventh holystone the decks

THE stone is called holystone be-
cause the first holystones were bits
of tombs stolen from cemeteries. It's
got a pious, religious sound--holy, and

JAP a Human Nonconductor.

Playing with death and laughing
when it reached out to claim him for

the Hotel Castineda, was found at
eight o'clock in the evening, recently,
holding live electric wire in his
hands and touching 1t to the rails of
the street cars just to see the sparks
fly. The wire, which was the street
car trolley, carried $4,000 volts of elec.
tricity.
- When electricians came to repair
the break, which had been caused by
the wire burning in two, they would
not touch 1t until the power had been
shut down, but the Jap stood there
with it in his hand gleefully thrusting
it out at them and laughing when they

One Thing the Returning Traveller
Took Note OF.

The Rev. Simon Turpie was an elo

list of sermons which, when he once
began, he went right through to the
end, and then started at the first SER
mon again, and SO on.
A young man in the congregation
was about to leave for South Africa,
but the Sunday before he departed he
attended the church service.
In the course Of his lecture the min
lister used an Illustration in which
were the words: "A man can easily
purchase two sparrows for three
pence"
The young man, after being absent
for about three years, returned, and
again on the first opportunity attend
ed divine service. Strange to say, he
heard the same narrative by the same
minister, the phrase striking him most
being about the two sparrows for
three pence"

A Coward of Conscience.

Tired and dusty, the excursion was
returning from the bank holiday trip,
and Simkins, little bald man with
big ears, overcome with his day OF
happiness, dropped off to sleep. In
the hat-rack above, another passen'
ger had deposited a ferocious crab
in a bucket, and when Simkins went
to sleep the crab woke up, and finding
things dull in the bucket, started ex.
ploring. BY careful navigation Mr.
Crab reached the edge of the rack, but
the next moment down it fell, alight
ing on Simkins' shoulder. Not feeling
quite safe it grabbed the voluminous
ear of Simpkins to steady itself, and
the passengers held their breath, and
waited for developments. But Sim
kins only shook his head slightly.

SERMoNETTE.

After Nebuchadnezzar had
) stripped Jerusalem of her treas
) ure, and had taken the best of
the people captive to Babylon,
he placed GedaIiah over the few
, who had been left to care for
the land and dress the vine
yards. A few months after this
lshmaeI formed a plot, mur-
dered Gedaliah and assumed
! control, and then entered into
an agreement to deliver all the
people into the hands of the
Ammonites. Johanan and
band of men who had escaped
IshmaeI's murderous hand, bold
Iy attacked ths latter as he was
', on his way to the Ammonites,
recovering the spoil and the
people and returning with them
to Jerusalem. Johanan then
became governor over the city,
and fearing the wrath Of Neb-
uchadnezzar because of the
things which had been hap
pening at Jerusalem, he de-
termined to flee into Egypt.
But before doing so he and the
people sought the advice of the
Prophet jeremiah, declaring SOL
emnIy: "We will obey the voice
of the Lord our God, to whom
we send thee" Ten days later
Jeremiah brings them Gods
message, commanding them to
remain in Jerusalem and prom
ising to protect and prosper
them, but warning them that If
they went into Egypt, they
should perish by the sword,
famine and pestiIence. Then
Johanan and the people repu-
dated the prophet, charging
that he had spoken a lie and
not Gods message, and forth
with they seized him and forced
him to accompany them into
Egypt.
Such was the apparent re-
ward for standing with God and
speaking his message. Did it /
pay?
Temporarily perhaps, no.
