should be careful whom we select as the members of choirs to lead us in that song. It is essential that hose leaders be llY- ing sweet pure, Christian lives. l care not how brilliant a minister might be, you would not knowingly select him for your pastor if you knew he was immoral or a drunkard Why should not the same purity of life he required of the members of our church choirs? It IS q shame to see some people rising in the choir lofts to sing the most sacred words in our hymn books when every one knows that they are living lives that contradict the words they are singing. I have had men and women in my choir who never made any pre- tense to religion. These members of the choirs never attended prayer meet ing. Thy never put their foot inside the Sunday school They did what they were paid to do, and they did nothing else. They sang psalm tunes on Sunday and as far as l can make out, served the devil the rest of the week. God will never bless a church unless that church has just as pure and as concentrated choir loft as it has consecrated min ister. Mark that.
 Lastly I want you to get into the habit of singing gospel songs wherever you go. Learn to sing gospel hymns on the street and Tn your homes when you are dreSs- ing. Teach your children to sing these songs in the same way. There is no easier way to spread the gospel and to show people that you are standing for Christ than by singing about Him when you are at work. Have you ever attended a great Methodist camp meeting?
 Then you may have been impressed by the preaching. But l will tell you what you were mostly impressed with and what has fingered longest in your memory. It was not the service in the auditorium, but what took place after the audience was dismissed. Then the young people, mean all those who were young in heart and they all seemed to be young-formed in line and marched around the grounds singing some old hymn like We Are Marching to Zion. Beautiful, Beautiful Zion" As they sang the very heavens seemed to join in the harmonies. Oh,

hearted current that will sweep out or the way the worthless, heartless trash which has no merit except literal correct ness And when upon trial tune is found to do good work it should be used for what it does and can do. Congrega- tional singing will never become general and permanent until the churches employ tunes which have melodies that cling to the memory and touch the feelings or the imagination" What did MT. Beecher mean by all this? l will tell you.
 A gospel hymn is q sermon. A gospel hymn is a prayer. When you listen to testimony in prayer meeting you do not listen to oratory. You listen to man pleading for Christ. When yon listen to a gospel hymn you listen to disciple of Christ pleading for the Master in the same way, and, though your voice may not be muscally trained. yet when you sing Gods praises i'll q simple gospel song God will bless you as He does when you arise to testify for Him in meeting of prayer.
 The consideration of this subject sug gests to me three practical lessons First, I want to impress upon all Christian peo- ple that the church which does not put great emphasis upon it's music IS making q fearful mistake Why do you give out so many hymns in your prayer meetings and church services?' a friend said to me sometime ago. "Because cannot give out any more hymns" I answered. T be- lieve that the singing of a church IS more important than the preaching. ln- deed I know that what l say is true, for many a church is existing in spite of poor preaching, but you never saw strong church that did not have fine church music. Church members, beware how you trif1e with the music. Get the best hymn books Ministers and officers, prayerfuly select the hymns that all peo- ple can sing. Do not make your singing a mere accessory to the church. God is watching you when He says. Let every thinc that hath breath praise the Lord.'
 The Church Choir.
 The next great fact to which I would call your attention is that of your church choir. Sacred singing is an important mart of church worship. Therefore we

how that music rings today in your mem ories Like d great army the people moved as they sang Cannot you i'll the same way sing about Christ when you are at work? Like a great singing host let us move forward to capture the round world for Christ.
 There is a beautiful story told that many years ago when Jenny Lind was visiting this country she called upon her countryman. John Ericsson, but the fa- nous inventor refused to sec her. Fries son had a magnificent brain. but he was no respecter of persons. He declined to see her Not to be put off. Jenny Lind sent up her visiting card. She stepped to the foot of the stairs and began to sing one of the old Swedish lullabies with which the mothers in that faroff land are accustomed to sing the children to sleep. At once the door of the inventors room opened and Ericsson came to greet his visitor, weeping like a child. The music had opened tho door of his heart. So by singing the old gospel songs on the streets and in the homes we can win multitudes for Christ

a low chair which brought his mouth
just to the top of the table. But he

He ate ravenously of everything, hay

Record Nebraska Wolf Hunt.

The residents of the north edge of
Adams county and the south edge Of
Hall county participated in a wolf
hunt recently in which twenty-three
wolves were captured out of twenty
five rounded up, says the Hastings
(Neb.) Tribune. 1t is claimed that
this is a record breaker for the state.
Wolf hunts are all the go, but as a
rule Br'er Wolf shows a clean pair of
heels and gets away. In a roundup IN
Farmers township an unfortunate was
caught mapping; the others slipped
men and boys organized a hunt on the
river bottom directly east of town. One
wolf was killed. one at least and pos
sibly more escaped by hiding in the
grass
Their hair is the color of the dead
grass, and Il wolf will lie fiat and not
be seen by hunter only Il rod or so
away, and when the line passes he
makes for his life.
A hunt announced for Sumner town
snip came off lately, when one wolf
was killed and four got away. The
hunts afford considerable sport even
though they get few wolves. Usually at
the end of a roundup there will be a lot
of jack rabbits and cOttOntails in the
ring, and when the shOtguns are turn
ed loose it is a reminder of a skirmish
line in action.

Clay and the Salary Crab.

"'Quinn,' said an old member one
day. I heard you worrying about the
mileage. Did you ever hear the story
of Clay and the salary grab?'
mo l replied.
"'When Clay was Speaker he con-
tinued, along about 1916, the crowd
raised their salaries to $1,000 year.
There was great howl all over the
country, and when Clay reached home
in Kentucky, he found old one-armed
John Pope, Federalist, out after his
scalp to beat the band, and all the Clay
adherents OminOusly silent. Worried
and anxious Clay sought out his old
barber, who had always been enthusi-
astic in his advocacy and who happened
to be an Irishman. Il trust l may
count on your hearty support as usu-
al?' Clay asked. Faith, Mr.. Clay"

was not only good but delicious.

SHADOW On THE sun.
Annular Eclipse Visible All Over
North America.

The recent eclipse of the sun. where
not obscured by clouds. was visible all
over North America. The eclipse was
annular and little iportance was at
tached to the phenomenon by scientists.
Some interest was attached TO the suns
submersion. however, from the fact
that the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Neptune and Jupiter are in a cluster
near the sun and could be seen in the
western horizon shortly after sunset
This popularity is not expected to be
repeated again in several hundred
year, although it is said to mean moth
ing astronomically.
With field glasses or opera glasses,
with a colOred or smoked glass over
the ends, it was possible to see the
mountains and valleys of the moon.
The sun served as a strong background
to bring out the irregular outlines Of
the moon. The outlines indicated how
irregular the moons surface is in a
striking silhouette.
Down in Tampa. Fla, in Mexico
City, or in the Bermuda islands observ-
ers Of the eclipse had a much better
opportunity to appreciate it. At these
places and in strip about ninety miles
wide the eclipse was seen directly in
the center of the sun. The outer edge
of the sun encircled the Swallowed part.
This popularity of the eclipse gives the
name "annular' to it. When the moon
appears exactly in front of the sun the
annular or ring phase is visible.
Every city in the United States was
able to observe this eclipse, together
| with the whole of North America. the
