WHEN YOUNG MEN CALL.

How often a girl says, II don't
ask my friends to the house because
my mother sits in the parlor and
talks the whole evening. go over
to my girl friends house and we have
Jolly good times. Her mother lets
us 90 ahead and have fun just so we
don't keep the house awake with our
racket"
The girls mother can't understand
why it is that her daughter won't
stay at home. She reasons to herself
thatit is her duty to see her daughters
friends, to approve or disapprove
them; or else she thinks her daugh-
ter must be ashamed of her for not
wanting her around.
One feels like saying to all such
mothers Give your girls the right
to entertain their friends in their own
way. Rest assured, If the company
they seek would not be such as you ap-
prove, they would not invite them
to the house. If your daughter calls
you into the parlor to introduce her
friends, which she should always do,
stay and talk a few minutes make
your mental opinion of the callers
which you can tell to her afterward.
If you give your opinion in the
right way it will probably be regard
ed, but do not monopolize the even.
ing. Her friends may respect and
like you, but they are not calling on
you.
Do not force her to have "jolly
times" in other houses. Do not keep
all the men from calling by your con-
tinual and watchful presence.
No one will regret it more than you
when she is left without callers and
invitations, while the girls she goes
with are up to their ears in good
times. York Times.

THINKS BE CAN AFFORD A GOAT.

The editor of the Times attended
a Jersey cattle sale Tuesday. 1t was
his intention to buy bull or two, a
few COWS and a lot of heifers.
He saw an aged bull sell for SIS, 900
and yearling for 81, 500. He didn't
purchase bull.
He saw cow sell for So, 500. He
decided not to buy cow.
He saw one heifer sell for $I,65o,
and weanlings change hands at $500.
He concluded not to invest in heifers.
He is now in the market for kind,
gentle, unpedigreed milk goat.-Glas-
gow (Ry.) Times.

LOOKING on THE BRIGHT SIDE.

Some time ago there was food in
Western Pennsylvania. An old fel-
low who had lost nearly everything
he possessed was sitting on the roof
of his house as it foated along when
a boat approached:
"Hello, John !"
"Hello, Dave |"
care your fowls all washed away,
John 7"
"Yes, but the ducks can swim,"
replied the old man.
"Apple trees gomez"
"Well, they said the crops would
be failure, anyhow"
81 see the floods away above your
window"
"That's all right, Dave. Them
winders needed washin' anyhow"
THE reason that babies are so ex-
pensive is because the stork has such
a long bill.

"Now," said the warden to the

papers for you," said the prisoner.

should not enforce the self-denial too

Remarkable Instance of the Power
ofDr. Williams Pink Pills In
Severe Nervous Disorders
Reported from an
Iowa Town.

That DR.. Williams Pink Pills have
cured obstinate cases of St. Vitus' dance
is the best evidence of their value
in lesser nervous disorders. Here is
evidence that will stand thorough in
vestigation. Mrs. James Wilkie, of 707
Spruce street, Cherokee, Iowa, says:
II was of a very nervous temperament
even when child. AS ] grew to girl

and dwindled away to almost nothing
Finally became SO weak that had to
stay in bed all the time. Up to this
time had been under the care of two
doctors and as became no better gave
up their medicine. After had been in
bed about two months, my father heard
about DR.. Williams Pink Pills from al
old friend. He bought some at once
and started using them, moi
expecting much benefit. I noticed
very soon that the pills were helping me
and that l could sleep better. We al
thought this so wonderful that l was
encouraged to give them good trial

Rev. e. 3. Neweomb.

DIR. Newcomb of the Westminster
church then proceeded with his topic.
The Genesis of independently" He
took his listeners back to the time of
the landing of the Pilgrim fathers and
going down through those old days
told of the hardships which the fore
fathers endured and how for the love
of their religion and the wanting of
independence in their worship tncy
came to this land from the mother
country to worship God in the way
they chose. The Doctor said in con
Guiding his remarks: What we
want today is the simple things. The
love of God and his teaching Is what
We want. When you are thinking on
religious life go back to the time
when the little band of Pilgrims came
to this country that they might serve
Christ in the way that they chose,
May the message of the Mayfiower
be repeated to this newer generation,
God granting it.
The beautiful selection, Lift up
your heads" was then rendered by the
choir. Reverend Harry B. Foster was
the next speaker of the evening and

Rev. ]. w. Potter.

Rev. Potter took as his topic, "The
Church as Spiritual Force in the
Community" In his remarks the
minister proceeded to point out to his
hearers why long facedness is not a
part of the Christianity and spiritual
ity. He said: Spirituality is Christ
likeness and We do not become more
spiritual by hiding from man our joy
and wearing long faces and believe
more each day that juvenation is more
Christ like and better, and having a
good time in the right way is better
than trying to be long faced Chris
tan. A man is never an undesirable
citizen If he lives in the Christ and
helps those about him that are in
need One can be as much of Chris
tan and have much spirituality out of
church as he can in the church."
Each pastor in his remarks paid a
tribute to the fine new church and
complimented the f1ourishing congre-
cation on their beautiful edifice.

Organ Recital.


The services opened at 7:45 with a
short but fine organ recital by H. T.

the fact that the new organ has not

stops are yet to be placed and the in
strument is in the same condition that
it was at the dedication services on
Sunday but workmen are busy and
this fine instrument will soon be COM
plete. A hymn which was joined in
by all members of the choir and con-
gregation was sung and opening pray
er was then offered by the pastor of
the church. Rev. Williams, the pastor,
then stated the object of the fellow
ship meeting in few opening remarks
before introducing the speakers of the
evening. Among other things he
said: There has always been in this
city, sweet union of the churches
and it is good for the ministers and
the people to meet together in this
way" In introducing the first speak
er of the evening, DR.. Newcomb, the
pastor said: "If there is any church
which illustrates the benefit and good
derived from INDEPENDENCE, it is the
Presbyterians.'
