BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CHURCH
Cleveland Institution Plans to Try a
New System.

The Epworth Memorial Methodist
church in Cleveland has decided to try
a new system of church management.
"A business manager. has been ap-
pointed who will give his entire time
and attention to the finances of the
church. AS executive secretary he
will collect the benevolences, dues of
members, subscriptions, etc, and pay
all expenses. He will serve as sec
rotary of the standing committees of
the church and keep a record of their
business for transmission to the Off
cial board. This. it is expected, will
leave the pastor free to give atten-
ton to the larger plans of the work
and to his pulpit and pastoral duties.
Epworth Memorial has the largest
membership Of all the Protestant
churches in the city. 1t has an ex-
tensive charity work and handles over
S35 900 in contributions every year.
DR.. G. X. Morris, district superin.
tendent, strongly cOmmends the in
novation. ITO my mind he says, at
is the ideal of church government. l
expect to see the plan adopted in
many other cities"

The Call of the Jungle,
BY BERKELEY HUTTON.

Many time I've come back from trip leaving
half my and all my ivory rotting in some dead.
ly African swamp half dead with fever swearing
that I'm done with the business for good. And some
bright day, in six months, or even three, the smell
of the jungle gets into my nostris the coughing
roar of, lions challenge-and that settles the
business. Back go again, knowing precisely what
is comng-the sweating days and the chilling
nights the torments of insects and of thirst, the
risks and hardships, and the privations. For once
Africa has laid her spell upon man, he's hers for
ever He'll dream of her-of the parched and bis
tered veldts he's crossed under the blazing sun
light; of the nights, those moonlt haunted nights
when he's watched beside a runway, waiting for the
game to come down to drink, and listened to the
ripple of the water on the fats, the stealthy snap
ping of branches all around him. the scurry of
monkeys overhead; listened to the vast silence into
which all smaller sounds are cast as pebbles ara
dropped into pool-Everybody's Magazine.

lhdla Is the only country in which elenhants

entirely for hunting and working purposes.
The excitement of a tiger hunt begins long be-

INDIA build their hives in a hanging position on
the limbs of trees Very often these dron down
close to the ground and the thick underbrush
hides them from view. 1t is a not infreouent in
