"Do tell me about it, said Wlntred,
eagerly.
"They went to school together, and
one day they thought it would be great
fun to hide frog in the teachers desk,
but il did not turn out as they expected.
That is the way with jokes. The frog
tipped over an ink bottle and spoiled a
number OF examination papers and other
things, and the teacher was very angry
He asked the guilty boy TO own his fault
like man, and take the punishment he
deserved. He put him upon his honor,
you see. Well, the Oldest boy, who
found the frog and first thought OF the
Joke, sat still in his seat without blush,
but the little boy, though he trembled with
fear, went to the desk before the whole
school, and owned his fault. And he sal

A Sermon By The Layrnan.

In Western town stranger recently
stood in the hotel parlor and gazed alb
sently out into the street. 1t was gloomy
day, and as he looked small funeral pro-
cession passed the window. Involuntari-
ly his eyes followed it, and man sitting
near him noticed the movement. Not
much OF a send-off, " he remarked, socia-
bly,, "but you will go long way before
you see better temperance sermon than
those two or three carriages" >"
"How is that ?" asked the other, drop

"You know the-mine ?" asked the
resident, naming one of the famous min

listener nodded.
"Well," he continued, "before that

the kind of thing that sets men crazy.
"You mean," exclaimed the stranger
in no little surprise, 'that the man who
opened up that mine has gone through

Rev. HenkeIs Bones Found.

DR.. A. d. Henkel, of Winchester, has
received news that the bones of his an
ceStor, Rey. Anthony Jacob Henkel, the
founder of LutheraniSm in the American
colonies, have been found, after a scare h
lasting d century. The news were given
out by Mr.. Ambrose L. Henkel, OF New
Market, Va, while returning from Phila-
delphia.
The remains OF Pastor Henke were
found in ST. MichaelS Church yard, Ger
mantown, Pa, a few days ago, and the
skull and other bones were examined by
eminent physicians and pronounced to be
those of the famous follower OF Luther.
Pastor Henkel'S burial took place in l724.
For a century the descendants OF Rev
Mr.. Henkel endeavored TO locate his grave
with the intention OF erecting a massive
memorial. A year ago through the con-
slant efforts OF DR.. c. F. Henkel, OF New
Market, and Carl Henkel of Benton,
Wis, the grave was located, but at the
time the tombstone simply bore the name
OF the pastors wife.
Ambrose L. HenkeI said that day was
set for the examination OF the grave, and
last week representatives OF the Henkel
family gathered at the grave in St.
Michaeps Church yard Five feet below
the surface was found the skeleton OF
woman, and further excavation revealed
the remarkably preserved skeleton OF Mr..
Henkel
The skull was eXaminnd by Prof. {. 0.
Henkel, formerly OF the Johns Hopkins
University; DR.. James Henkel OF Jersey
Shore, Pa, and DR.. F. V, Streeper, OF
Chestnut Hill. The skull was intact, and
the physicians agreed that the bones were
those of the founder of the Henkel family
in the United States. The remains had
lain in the earth for lSS years. Hand
wrought iron screws were found in the
grave.
Pastor Henkel was exiled from Ger
many preaching the faults of the royal
family of Germany in the seventeenth
century. He founded the first Lutheran
Church in the American colonies, and his
descendats have become prominent in
American history. Many OF his deScen-
ants now reside in the Shenandoah Val
ley OF Virginia. Ambrose Henkel is now
conducting printing business, which
was begun by his ancestors in New Mar
ket in 1906.

While spending the winter in Georgia,

"The Habit of Immortality.

In the current number OF the Outlook
DR.. Lyman Abbot writes as follows:
We live in two worlds, world that we
can see and touch, and world that is in
visible, inaudible, intangible world, is the
important world, the real world, the en-
during world.
The invisible makes the home. 1t is
made not by stone or brick, or wood, but
by faith and home and love binding to-
gether husbands and wives, parents and
children. The cynic sneerS at love in a
cottage. But love in cottage makes a
home, which hate in palace can never
make" DR.. Abbot goes on in the same
way to make clear that il is the invisible
that makes the school, the State, and even
commercial prosperity. "For CONNER
ciaI prosperity, says he, is built on credit !;
and credit is faith in the honesty OF our
fellow man; and honesty is invisible. "
DR.. Abbot draws an Illustration from mu-
sic. He says, The orchestra does not
make music; it is only all instrument for
conveying music from one spirit to other
spirits. The orchestra no more makes
the music which it conveys than the tele-
graphic wire makes the message which
it conveys. Music is not volume OF
sound; it is an experience which sound
transmits from one soul to another SOUL
The composer creates in himself the smy-
phony. He translates this creation into
symbolic language upon sheet OF paper.
The orchestra translates this translation
INTO chords. These chords received
through the ear awaken in the hearer an
experience similar to that which was in
the soul OF the original composer.
Consider it well; each tone of scale
in itself is naught it is everywhere in
the word-loud and soft, and all is said.
Give il TO me to use | mix ii with two
in my thought, and there we have heard
and seen, consider and bow the head y
"What has the hearer heard and seen ?
He has heard and seen the invisible, in
audible experience that was in the soul OF
the composer"
In the upbuildng OF our city and State
are we looking sufficiently TO the inviSi-
BILE, the real world? Are we developing
the things that administer to the spirit OF
man, along with the upbuilding OF our
town? Every thoughtful man must feel
some sense of regret when he realizes
that the view OF the West Virginia hills
now to be seen through Capital street will
soon be almost completely cut off by a
skyscraper He appreciates the enter
prise and the spirit OF the men who are
building this temple of business, and he
will share their pride il it, but he some
how wishes that another site may be
found for it and that the city might take
some step to save our river front. 1t IS
what that hillside might say to the hearts
OF men passing through Capital street that
goes TO make up the invisible but never
theleSS real world.
When are we goingto begin supporting
heartily, and with a true sense OF proper
ton, the things that belong to the real
world ? The library, the lecture course,
the series OF concerts, the gallery and the
play that gives an upliit ? Are we going
to leave it TO the future, or shall we carry
our invisible but real world along with us
as we 60 Which course is best ?
