Perseverance,.

Tim0ur. the great Asiatic conuuerOr,
commonly known by the name of Tam
erlane. had extraordinary persever-
arce. No difficulties ever led him to
recede from what he had once under
taken. and be often persisted in his
efforts under circumstances which led
all around him to despair. On such
occasions he used to relate to his
friend an lnecdote of his early life.

"Unorganized Christianity is like a
vapor that vanishes away. You men
are stewards of your influence as we'll
as of your wealth. The real opportunity
of life Is the talent that God has given
each one of us. The church is the
broadcast and most liberal organiza-
ton the sun shines upon. Some object
to 1t because the contribution box is
passed. But the contribution box is
passed at the opera and the prize fight
and almost everywhere else before you
enter. The church is the only place
where the contribution is voluntary.
The church Is the broadcast and most
liberal organization the sun shines up
on. 1t suffers from its very broadness.
The church Of Christ is a standard
bearer to the world. The church of God
has an uniuua mission II 10 tho IN
spirer Of all charitable institutions in
the world. If you give serious consid-

Its opportunity for doing good I do
not see how you can fail to seek it's

Boarder Twits, Is 1hrashed and
Later Commits the Crime.

New York, Feb. 22.-The cracking or
the postoffice safe at Raleigh, N c.,
in December, 1908, led to the killing
here TODAY of John Leonard, who had
been sentenced to the Federal prison

Leonard's Young wife obtained his re-
lease from prison three months ago
on an alibi and they came to Brook
lyn and opened a boarding house.
Thomas Barnes, boarder, angered
Leonard two weeks ago by referring
to him as an ex-convict, and Leonard
gave him such thrashing that he
was not able to leave the hospital I'M
til last night. Barnes called at the
Leonard home early today and when
Leonard appeared at the door he shot
him dead.

First, tell the children they are TO

q little denim hunting bag for the
trophies, which are animal crackers
hidden in every conceivable place, the
crackers to be eaten or taken home,
and TO the one who bags the most
be given.
Then give each guest a card with

blackboard where all can see it. The
leader or the hostess selects a child
TO draw a picture. whispering to him
the animal he is to draw; the guests
write beside the number the name Of
the animal they think he is trying to
portray. When 15 animals have been
drawn and guessed collect the cards,

Awful Prospect,

One day recently a clergyman was
performing a marriage ceremony at
the parsonage in the presence of his
little son. The boy listened very at
tentively while his father pronounced
the couple husband and wife, then
going to his mother he said:
Mamma, when a man marries a
woman, must he live with her?'
Yes, dear" his mother replied
The boy was thoughtful for a mo-
ment and then said:
Mamma, must papa live with all
the women he has married?"
