Minister'S Successful Method of Gath.
ering Congregation. =.

One OF the most difficult proposi-
tons that new pastor has to face.
when he takes charge Of a church that
has fallen OF in attendance and gen.
orally gone to seed, is to fill the pews
and build up the membership anew.
Not long ago this problem was solved
In Brooklyn church. Before taking
mold the new pastor had planned a
scheme which he thought would work
moderate4 N1tsll,y but which, in the end.
far exceeded his hopes in its results.
A few days before the eventful first
Sunday he called upon a dozen Of the
pillars of the church" and asked
them each to call up on the telephone
early on Sunday morning half dozen
at least OF their friends, and not only
ask them especially to come to church
that morning, but also to telephone
the same request to as many Of their
own friends as they could. They all
promised to do so, and when the cler-
gyman reached his church that Sum-
day he found it packed. He had pre-
pared rousing sermon and every one
went away we'll satisfied.
This method Of getting a congrega-
ton was continued along practically
the same lines for months. AS a re-
suit Of the drumming up by tele-
phone the size Of the congregation in
creased enormously and the member
ship is greater than it ever was be-
lore. AS there Is not room for more

BUILT INTO, THE BIRDS, NEST
Appropriate Place for Lace Intended
for Coming Baby's Cap.

A young mother sat under an apple
tree while the blossoms fell about her.
listening to the glad twittering of
couple OF song sparrows who were
building their nest in the lilac bush
which grew beside the fence. She
was fashioning a tiny cap Of softest.
lawn and lace, and smiling to herself
while she sewed, after the manner of
her kind. She was wondering what
the little face would be like that would
look out from the dainty cap of ruffies
and frflls. 1t was almost done except
for one little piece Of lace, which she
could not find to finish it. She had
to give up her search for it, though
she knew she had had it when she
put her work basket on the grass be-
side her and had gone into the house
to get some forgotten thing.
In the fullness Of time her mother
heart was satisfied, for her child Law
in her arms and slept upon her breast.
She carried the babe out and sat again
under the apple tree, now laden with
fruit. She glanced into the lilac BUSH
es where the birds had builded their
nest In the spring and found that the
birdlfngs had taken wing and it was
deserted, but cunningly woven into it
around the top was the lost bit of lace
for which when making the baby cap
she had searched so long in vain.

Eating the Octopus.

At Atlantic City the other day a fish
erman caught an octopus, rare fish
in those waters.
The octopus, which resembles a
frayed and ruined football of brown
leather, was carried home by the fish
erman in bucket OF water.
What am ] going to do with it?"
he said. why, I'm going to eat
it. I'd as soon eat octopus as seal
lops.
II am Q traveller, and / learned in
Italy and France the octopus excel
lence. You can't give an Italian of
the Riviera or Frenchman OF the
northwest coast, where the fish
abounds, more welcome dish.
What does 1t taste like? It
tastes like scallops or like tripe and
oysters"

REMEMBERED ONLY TOO WELL.
Farmer Used Weil-Learned Phrase at
Unfortunate Time.

A certain wealthy farmer, who
owned broad acres in an aristocratic
section of the Bay State not so far
distant from Boston, figured among
his neighbors as something Of a dia-
mond in the rough. One of his strong
est predictions was to exploit his
rather stiff opinions Of persons in
terms that could not be mistaken. His
two daughters had social aspirations,
IN The: interest of which they had to
give frequent lectures on,the social
usages Of the community. @
when you find that you simply
must let out your opinions of the peo-
pie you meet" the doting parent was
instructed, please always preface
your remarks with the qualifying
clause, present company excepted"
1t happened that the aspiring daugh-
ters were giving a dinner that same
night at which they ,fondly hoped to
give the family big social boost.
Papa got severe drilling as to his
table manners, and sat at the head Of
the family table with no little trepida-
tion. Under the inspiring influence
OF the wine, however, he thawed out
percept1bly. and soon was unburden-
Ing his soul OF all the opinions that
had accumulated in the course Of the
dinner. incidentally he gave vivid
account Of all that impressed him the
day before when he attended the
county fair, which was something of
an event in the countryside.
Yes, siree." went on the loquacious
family head, II seen things that was
Wuth goin' miles to see. And one
thing l see was the best pen of hogs

Septed."
The speaker could not understand
how 1t was that none of the guests en-
thused over the live stock display
not until his daughters got chance
to tell him.
