STRONG SERMON On
WORLD MISSIONS
REV. w. e. L-AM6UTH BREACHES
TO LARGE CONGREGATION AT
FIRST M. {. CHURCH.

To one of the largest congregations
that ever assembled in the First Meth
odist church, Rev W. R. Lambuth on
Sunday morning preached a strong
sermon on World Wide Missions. "
IN addition to a very large proportion
Of the membership of the Methodist
church, the congregation of the First
Presbyterian church was present
Every seat in the house and in addi-
ton all the chairs that could be
crowded in, was occupied.
For more than an hour DR.. Lambuth,
who is the Secretary of the Board of
Missions of the Methodist Episcopal
South, held the undivided at
tention of the audience. He took for
his text For | am not ashamed of
the gospel of Jesus Christ" DR..
Lambuth has just returned from a
world wide visit to the foreign mis-
sion fields, and much of what he said
was a recital of conditions in the
heather fields which he had witnessed
with his own eyes.
The speaker contrasted most vivid
" the difference between the Chris
tian and the heather so-called re-
igious and made an earnest and elo-
luent plea for missions. He spoke of
What the church had done and what
t should do. He declared that the |
,hurch at Columbia should assume the |
to support at least one
Jingle missionary in the foreign fields. |
n this connection he paid a deserved |
ribute to the Presbyterian church for
is liberality to the cause of foreign

sebretache Racks.

Among the curious objects now sold
in the fashionable shops up town these
days are gorgeous sabretaches that are
used either for letter or newspaper
racks i'll the sitting rooms of women
who have money to throw away on
such costly trifes. The Sabretaches,
which were originally designed for car
rying military dispatches, are fitted
with leather pockets, while the front
is heavily embroidered with the insig-
mia of the regiment to which the wearer
belonged. The leather covers that pro-
tpcted the sabretaches while their wear
ers were on active service, without COM
pletely concealing the insignia on their
front, are being made of either bril-
liant red or gray leather. When the
officers who wore them were on parade
it was their custom to remove the COW
ers, so that all the glory and beauty
of the gold and silver embroidery
should not be concealed. AS these sab
retaches were most frequently used in
the period of the Napoleonic wars their
age may be easily imagined.

A Common DeIinauent.

The dean of a normal college, in a
talk before the student body, was de-
ploring the practice common among
children of getting help in their lessons,
and the tendency among parents to give
it too generously. AS an illustration he
told the following incident:
The mother of small pupil in Chi
cago school had struggled through the
problems assigned for the child's next
lesson, and had finally obtained what
appeared to be satisfactory results. The
next day, when the little girl returned
from school, the mother inquired, with
some curiosity:
"Were your problems correct, dear?'
"No, mamma" replied the child.
''They were all wrong"
"All wrong?" repeated the amazed
parent. ooh, I'm so sorry!"
swell, mamma, you don't need to be
sorry" was the reply. "All the other
mamas had theirs wrong, too

Delay In Divorces.

'The underlying reason why so much
time usually elapses between the filing
of petition and the hearing or trial in
divorce proceedings is not generally I'M
derstood," remarked a lawyer who
makes speciality of this character of
practice. Perhaps it is within the cir
Gle of truth to say that in majority
of cases, if either husband or wife,
whichever side be plaintiff, should stop,
look, and listen,' as it were, the trouble
would be adjusted out of court entirely.
"As a rule, judges are inclined to
afford ample time for domestic partners
to ponder we'll before pursuing further
toward legal redress for matrimonial
difficulties. Divorce in haste and re-
pent at leisure is a logical paraphrase.
OF course, if after mature reflection a
different opinion does not ensue, the av-
erage jurist would favor progressing
the suit"

Lord Bacon is the author Of a dictum
that for child 1t is probably no harder
to die than to be born. This saying
comes to the mind when one reads the
account in the Spectator of the death
Of Jesse Pearce, a gloomy old bachelor
who raised fine cows. For some years
he had entertained a strong dislike of
the village parsOn, with whom he had
had difficulty over piece of land.
"'Ess," said his old housekeeper,
"he'm gone, and parson didn't bury

A uniuua Endowment.

If any man Of wealth is in search Of
something besides libraries and colleges
to endow, a humble suggestion is held
in the article taken from a magazine
published by the American Association
for the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf
The object under consideration, the
only endowed Flagstaff in the world, is
that belonging to the Royal Asylum for
the Deaf and Dumb, at Margate, Eng
land.
This staff was erected the first year
Of the reign Of King Edward VII, in
commemoration of his accession to the
throne. The cost was betrayed by the
pupils and friends. The collection taken
was so large that it enabled the pur-
chase of twenty flags.
Even after the staff and the flags
were paid for, forty pounds remained
in the treasury. This sum was invested
for an endowment fund, and the inter-
est is used every other year in painting
and repairing the pole and tackle.
Some of the various flags bought are
as follows: The Royal Standard, which
is flown on the Kings accession day,
his birthday and his coronation day
the Stars and Stripes, run up on Roose-
velt's birthday and election day; the
German and French flags, used on the
Kaiser's and Presidents birthdays; ap-
propriate banners for st. David's, st.
Patricks and ST. Georges days; the
Union Jack for the anniversaries of ia
nous battles, and flags for the church
high festivals.

POSTMASTER FOR AT YEARS.
G. w. L. Smith of Smiths Basin,
N. ", Holds This Record.

G.. w. l.. Smith of Smiths Basin,
N. ", Holds This Record.
The oldest postmaster in New York
State and perhaps the oldest in point
OF continuous service in the United
States is George w. L. Smith Of
Smiths Basin, Washington County, a
little town with a population of less
than 300, situated on the Champlain
canal, says the New York Sun. Post
master Smith was appointed April 10,
1861, by Montgomery Blair, postmaster
general during Lincoln's first term, and
has survived all the Democratic admin
istrations since that time.
Before his appointment as postmas-
ter Smith had served as clerk in the
pcstoffice for ten years, giving him
f1fty-seven years of continuous service.
Smith has really served the postoffice
department one year less than James
6. Kerr, an octogenarian who is now
employed in the office Of the superin-
tendent of the mails in Chicago, but
Kerr has never risen to the dignity of
being boss Of a postoffice.
Smiths success in clinging to his job
through the Democratic years was said
to have been due partly to the fact
that there were no Democrats In
Smiths Basin who had the heart to
terminate the veterans long service
and partly to President Cleveland's dis
inclination to do so. Smiths Basin is
as proud of the postmaster's record as
he is, and once when an unsympathetic
Democrat started a petition for Post
master Smiths job everybody else in
town signed one asking that Smith be
retained.
When Smith first went to work IN
the little Washington County postoffice
every letter was recorded, waybilled
and wrapped separately, and every
three months the postmaster had to
send a record to Washington Of each
letter that left his Office in that time.
Now the veteran receives and sends out
eight daily mails and has two rural
delivery routes to look after.
Mr.. Kerr, whose record is a year
longer, was born in 1928 and became a
mail clerk when he was 81, serving
first in gainesville, Ohio, where his
uncle was postmaster. He was sent
from one city to another until he final
ly landed in Washington just prior to
the Civil War. After establishing
posts to take care Of the mail for
soldiers in parts Of the south con-
quered by the union army he ran the
first railway mail service south Of Ma
son and DixOn's line. He went to the
Chicago postoffice in 1876 and for the
last thirty-two years has been correct
ing the galley mail proofs for the Chi
cago newspapers.

Lambs for spanish Chi1dren.

lux
Directly after Lent there is observed
in Spain a custom that is particularly
interesting to children. 1t is what may
be termed the sale of the lambs, for on
Monday morning after Easter the shep-
herds have their lambs and goats on
sale in all the cities. The animals are
kept in temporary pens, and it is the
rule for parents to permit their chill
dren of from five to twelve years of
age to purchase a pet lamb or goat.
After the animal is selected it is taken
to the home residence and given the
freedom of the courtyard and quite
often the greater part Of the house. II
is every chiId'S ambition to train the
pet so that it will at least follow its
owner like a dog, and if a few simple
tricks are added to the lambs or kids
education the master or mistress is
proud indeed. Girls especially delight
in these pets, and often the animals
are so bedecked with bows and ribbons
as almost to hide their bodies. The sale
of the lambs is a very old custom and
is supposed to have originated through
some form of the church.
