Presence of Mind.

He was Harvard man with a gift
for borrowing things and defective
memory which led to his retaining
them. A few days before class day a
friend of his bewailed the tortures Of
breaking in pair of new russell shoes.
MY feet's smaller than yours he
suggested kindly. Lend them to me,
and they'll be easy enough when give
them back"
Next day he went home, and the new
shoes added luster to his arrival in the
old town.
Three months later he was at the Sc
attic exhibition. The shoes had reach
ed the stage when they were the de-
spair of Pullman porters, and suddenly
he saw their owner bearing straight
down on him near the machinery build
ing.
He turned not hair, but, walking
forth to meet his justly incensed friend,
exclaimed:
'Old man. you're just the man Pm
looking for. These shoes of yours
want new pair of laees dreadfully"

Ought to love-. I'VE ought also to
lay down our lives for the brethren"
Still further the Apostle urges that
while all of the foregoing are elements
of love we superadd lore itself in the
fullest sense toward the Lord, toward
the brethren, toward humanity, to-
ward the brute creation and toward
our enemies. While all of these can
not be loved in the same degree, all
should profit by the spirit of love in
our hearts for all.
aye Shall Never Fail"
Now comes the climax Of the advice
to those seeking to make their calling
and election sure verse 81 IF these
things be in you and abound, they
make you that We shall neither be bar
rem nor unfruitful in the knowledge
of our Lord Jesus Christ" And then
as our text declares, If these things
abound and il we give diligence to the
making sure of our calling and cleo
ton and do these things, we. shall
never fail-we shall in no case fail
of securing our election. God seeketh
such for joint heirship with their Re-
deemer in the Kingdom. God seek
eth such to worship him as worship
him in spirit and in truth"
The grand contamination of our
election-our Kingdom honors and
glories-is specifically referred to by
st. Peter in the next verse, saying,
For so an entrance shall be minis
tered unto you abundantly into the
everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ" If, dear Breth-
rem, we believe these things. let us
permit them to control our lives-our
words, our deeds and our thoughts.
Surely we can well afford to be con-
sidered foolish along lines of the sac
rifice of earthly interests. If thereby
we can develop the character which
our Lord desires and prove ourselves
worthy Of a share in his Kingdom.

Strikers to Present 1t at White House
on Thanksgiving Day.
President Taft, who with fortitude
little less than sublime has been par
taking Of all kinds of new and strange
dishes ON his tour and smiling as If he
liked them, has another ordeal before
him. The Pie Salesmen's union, whose
members recently went on strike with
the pie bakers, decided recently to
make the president a Thanksgiving
day present of monster union pie,
the largest ever baked. 1t is to be
delivered on Thanksgiving morning at
the White House by Henry Henkin
and d. Papin, two members, who are
tried and true union men.
The decision was reached at meet
ing Of the union at Odd Fellows. hall,
SO st. Marks place, New York. When
the meeting was over Secretary Schutt
said:
"The mince pie will be the biggest
and best ever made. The men who
will make it know just how to build
pies, and it will be SO crisp and ap-
petizing that when it is finished all
who eat it will wish there had been
more of it, 1t will be made at one of
the cooperative bakeries started by
the strikers"
The largest loaf of bread ever made
was fifteen feet long, three feet wide
and two feet deep. This mark will be
completely eclipsed by the monster pie.
