Friend That's DISAPPEARED.

whats become of our old boyhood
friend the b%ootjack?" asked a shop
per in a shoe store the other day.
"I've been in about six stores looking
for such a thing, and in half the
places the clerks don't even know
what they are-never heard of such
a thing. One clerk brought me an
ordinary shoe horn and supposed that
must be what I had reference to.
"The bootjack has gone, I suppose,
for the simple reason that few men
wear so-called boots any more. The
stores ought to keep them, though,
if for nothing but souvenirs of the
boyhood days of the present genera
ton, when we used to get a penny
occasionally for helping one of the
adult members Of the family to pull
off his boots. How those boots did
stick! I was reminded Of those days
not long ago when I got a pair of new
tangled walking shoes on which the
laces started too far up. But I'll have
to get along without a bootjack, or
else make one. There + none to be
found. Plain Dealer.

Could You Pray?

Coming from Chicago one day be-
fore I was a saved man, an eleven
year-old boy made an attempt to
board my train at Hebron and, miss
ing his hold, fell under the cars. A
section man pulled him out and laid
him on the platform. The boy made
a grab for his hat that was just be-
yond his reach, and then realized that
his other arm was broken and one
leg gone. He began to beg US to kill
him. They placed him on a stretcher,
and some one ran for his mother, who
lived Just a block away. She came
running ,and as she knelt at his side,
cried:
my God, Frank, is this you'll"
eyes, mother" he replied, and
won't you pray for me?"
Wringing her hands, she sobbed:'
20 Frank, I can't pray! I don't know
howl"
There on her knees, at the side OF
her dying boy, she turned to US and
pleaded for some of us to pray for
him, but we each one had to admit
that we did not know how. and he
died before us without a prayer. I
never shall forget the anguish written
on that poor mothers face. I do
thank God that I have learned to pray
since that time and to hold up before
the throne of grace not only my own
children, but those of ~prayerless par
ents about me.

THE. PULPIT.
q BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
ADAM MACDONALD REocH.
Theme: What is Your Life?

Text: For what is your life? 1t is
even a yapor, that appeareth for a lit-
tie time, and then vanisheth away
James ALA.
This is an apt metaphor with which
to represent the brevity and evanes-
cence of life, but it does not tell the
whole story.
The cloud which the text speaks OF
as floating idly in the sky we have i'm
prisoned in our machinery and COM
PEELED to do mighty things. This ca
pacity Of feeting vapor for energy
and work well represents the capacity
of the human spirit for inspiration
and service This constitutes mans
greatest endowment and is the life Of
every faculty and attainment.
Scripture continually speaks of man
as a vessel" or utensil which depends
for it's usefulness and worth upon the
value of it's contents. When noble
ideals perish our life descends toward
the level Of the brute, just as vapor,
bereft of it's heat, turns again to its
original liquid form, comparatively
without value.
Life and action carried on in &C
COTuduCS WILL uC loOoio y ASookS
unfailingly in progress. Too often
the monotony Of life consumes the
energy which should go toward the
realization Of our ideals, and when
we stand before the doors Of large
| opportunities we are overcome with
fear and hesitation.
l. Man, like the vapor, will never do
his best work except under pressure.
A brook will bable until 1t meets the
dam, when 1t begins to turn the grist
mill. Without a n Of responsible
ity a man will develop mo- force OF
character. We should think Of our
responsibilities as opportunities. Life
is most truly described, In the broad
sense, as a great opportunity. That
is the way Jesus looked at It. @Treas-
ure hid in a field" "a pearl Of great
price, " talents intrusted to servants"
these are the SMILES he used. They
all emphasize the element Of opportu-
nifty. &i ,
Life is, in short, the opportunity to
find our true self, and until we have
done that we can never hope to find
the true God. II a man gain the
whole world and lose himself It prof
iteth nothing, for a man a actually
and permanently possess nothing ex-
'cept himself. Is a man entitled to
say II live," simply because he eats
and sleeps and is physically well? A
human life Is far more complex. The
first reed pipe gave forth music, but
its descendant, the great organ, gives
forth completed music in which the
other parts are harmonized with the
melody. The complete life Is n in
which the religious or spiritual note
gathers into harmony the moral, the
intellectual and the physical elements
in our being, bringing them also into
harmony with God, the source and
fountain Of life.

A pardon in Brittany begins with
vespers on the evening before the
feast. Pilgrims arrive for thai and
sleep In the church. the chapel and
under the hedges. They chant hymns
till they sing themselves to sleep.
The first mass is said at 3 a. m. and
when all the pilgrims have received
holy communion they depart.
An ordinary visitor arriving, say
at 10 a.. NJ, will hardly see a single
pilgrim in the church. They attend
mass, take part in the afternoon pro-
cession and buy memorials and pic
lures at the stalls.
One of the most largely attended

couple of days. The next most num-
