at first when child, he had stolen a
penny and had not been reproved for
his act. This seemed to be a very
little thing to him at first and as he
grew older, 1t did not seem to be any
e'eutcr crime to steal a dollar. In
the end, he stole a great deal of mon
ey with rs little thought as he had
stolen the first penny and as a result,
he was lodged in prison for long
term. Another example of the import.
ance of little things was shown by the
act of Esaw when he sold his birth.
right for a mess Of pottage. He was
hungry at the time and it did not
seem to be a great thing for him to do
when he sold his honor and position
for something to appease his hunger.
In the end, It proved to be a great
thing for which he repented bitterly
but then 1t was useless. This was one
of Rev. Blacks main thoughts in his
sermon and 1t was made strong
point. He asked that each and every
one of the class remember this.
In conclusion, the main point given
to the class was that of choosing a
lifes vocation now while the mind is
young and knows itself. A vocation, If
chosen now, should be strong and the
great difficulties in perfecting it will
be overcome easier than If it is chos-
en- with reluctance and hesitation.
In all the sermon was one of in
spiration and help to every member
of the senior class and from it will
come great benefit which will be
lasting.
Immediately after the sermon, a
solo was rendered by Mr.. Norman
Turner. Next, the entire congrega-
tion arose and sang america" after
which the benediction was pro-
nounced.

v EBB
Has Been Recalled By The
Pittsburg Team

Pittsburg, Pa, June 19-Pitcher
Cleon Webb is to come back to the
Pittsburg club at once from New Brit
ain, Conn, in the Connecticut State
league, but whether to remain with
the Pirates or not is a question yet to
be decided by Manager Fred Clarke.
The recall of Webb is due to a point
of base ball law which the local man.
agement overlooked when it arranged
for the transfer of the young left
handler to New Britain. The rules re-
quire that player drafted from any
club in the minor leagues cannot be
sent to a club in any other league in
the same class unless he has been
first offered to and refused by the
club from which he was drafted.
Pittsburg drafted Webb last Sep
tember from the, Grand Rapids club
of the Central league, so that before
he could be legally sold to New Bri-
tain, which is in league of the same
class as the Central, it was necessary
to first offer to sell him back to Grand
Rapids. This the Pittsburg club neg.
lected to do, believing that the old
rule, which applied only to sale in
the same league, instead of the class
from which player was drafted, was
still in force.
Grand Rapids made no objection to
the transfer of Webb to New Britain
until the southpaw began to show
great form there, but kicked in with
a protest to the National commission
when he pulled off the feat of winning
three games in seven days.
Accordingly Webb must be recalled
at once from New Britain, but it does
not follow that the Pirates will be
forced to turn him over to Grand
Rapids if they do not desire to do so.
He may be either retained on Clarke's
staff or sold to some club in league
of higher class than the Central.

made without satisfactory results,
An alarm was Immediately sounded.

her own age, was seen to go around
the corner by the M. e. church on
Chestnut street On being questioned,
the children stated that they were
merely taking walk.

Position And Honor In World
Hard To Acquire
And Very Easily Lost De-
Clared The Speaker
Self-COntfOl One OF The
Essentials Of Life

On Sunday evening the baccalaure-
ate sermon was delivered to the grad
uating class of 1910 of the Mt Vernon
High school at the Mulberry Street
M. P. church, by the pastor, the Rev.
John T.. Black. The church was filled
to it's utmost capacity at least fifteen
minutes before the beginning of the
service which was at 1880.
AS soon as the thirty-one gradutes
in the class had marched to thei-
seats d'iectly before the pulpit the
services were begun with hymn by
the choir followed by prayer by Rev.
f. E. Brininstool. Another hymn was
sung followed by prayer by Rev. G. A.
Reede.' and the sermon was begun by
Rev. Black who took for his text He
brews II chapter, 16 and II verses:
Lest there by any fornicator
or profane person as Esaw, who
for one morsel of meat, sold his
birthright."
For ye know how that after
ward when he would have inner
tied the blessing, he was rejected
for he found no place of repent
ance, though he sought it careful
ly with tears"
These verses, although seemingly
of little Importance, were given much
meaning by Rev. Black in his sermon.
He first made statement to the class
in which they were told that although
their work had been hard and they
lad succeeded, that they could all
have done better. No matter how well
they had done, they could have done
better. Following this he made a COM
parison of Esaw with a great may
persons of today in which he illustrat.
ed the great good in self control.
Three things which are apparent in a
person with great self control are:
first, strong physique; second, Chris
tianity and third character and repu-
tation. A person with self control can
easily acquire these three.
The class was told that in their life
TO follow, they would learn that ap-
petite Is great deal stronger than
duty and their self-control must be
exercised in order to attend strictly to
duty They were told to take advant-
age of every opportunity which pre-
sented itself for good and they would
succeed. Should they ever acquire
position and honor in the world they
were made to see the great danger of
losing both in very easy manner as
Esaw did when he sold his for mess
of pottage. This was strongly i'm
pressed on the class, that they must
not sell out their honor and position
doing so, the higher our positions will
he.
Next the members of the class were
given an example of the greatness of
little things. These little things spok-
en- of come up in every day life to not
only the young but the old. An ex-
ample of this was given when pris,
oner in a state prison was interviewed
and his answer to a question was that

ard? Listen to the Master: Love
one another as ] have loved you"
Measure the love of Christ for man.
so do you love men. This is more
than minlstering aid. This is impart.
ing the very self to others.
This expression of the instinct OF
fellowship, required of God, is i'm.
possible without the indwelling of
Christ.
Benevolence to be permanently
availing must center in Christ. Must
cover more than the body and mater
ia aid Must touch men physically,
mentally, morally and spiritually.
All honor to the bodies of men who
have proved the friend in need to
thousands of unfortunates. Who have
created magnificent institutions for
rearing or orphoned, the care of the
infirm, the nursing of the sick, the
ministering to the needy. 1t Is a
commendable ministry deserving of
high praise. But when the benefi.
ciary has passed from earth; when the
earth has closed over the body what
has been achieved? Merely an allevi.
alton of earthly sufferings? No
thought of the amelioration of eternal
conditions?
God has embodied in the Church of
the living God" the fullest expression
of this fraternal principle. The
church ranks all other fraternal bo-
dies as the infinite ranks the finite, as
the divine ranks the human. There is
no comparison, God and men cannot
be compared. None of us desire to
view the church of God and institu-
tions of men as if in same class. But
why should not all fraternal bodies
adopt the purpose of the church in it's
complete ministry to men physical,
mental, moral and spiritual?
The church stands for the eternal
rights of men as for The temporal.
For these rights to all men, inside
and outside the membership. And in
thus expressing the highest instinct of
fellowship, it is also expressing both
of the lower phases cited 1t is a fed
Grafton for self interests, for humani-
ty, but also for the divine recreation
OF men, and their eternal felicity.
In conclusion let us recognize the
splendid practice of gathering as you
do today to revere your dead. This is
the expression of this instinct of fel-
lowship. Souls cannot die. If worthy,
we shall catch up the fellowship in
the glories of heaven.
Not less of material ministry, rath-
er more, act the friends to men in
need. Help in every possible way.
But | covet for you the highest express
sion of fellowship that your minis.
tries may become immortal. That they
may vitally bear on eternal life for
you.
Admit Jesus Christ to your life.
Crown him King of all your activities
ana all tnat you DO IN his name
shall be as immortal as the Christ
thus honored. Listen: "Inasmuch as
yet did it unto one of the least of
these my brethren ye did it unto me-"
While busy expressing fraternity in
the interests of self and others from
motives of human kindness, fail not
to unite with the federation of God
which seeks men to do them good be-
cause of the divine impulse of the
constraining love of Jesus Christ.
At the conclusion of the service the
members of the order marched to
Mound View cemetery where the
graves of the deceased members were
decorated with flowers.

QUAY'S PARROT SOLD.
Old Family Bird Loses Its Home for
Peculiar Reasons.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 11.-An old
parrot which had been in the family
of the late Senator Quay of Penn
sylvania, at his Beaver home, has
just been sold for a curious reason.
Before Lewis Davidson of Beaver
woOed and won Miss Mae Quay, a
daughter of the senator, her sisters
had taught the bird to say Good
bye, Lou" followed by smack sounds
like kissing. The bird was a good
talker and as Miss Quay would sing
out Goodbye, Lou" as her lover
was leaving nights, the parrot would
mimic her.
This was all right, even if the
neighbors did hear it, for a time,
but a year or more after the mar
riage of Miss Quay and Mr.. David
son they separated. After that the
parrot constantly harped on Good
bye, Lou! Smack smack"
The neighbors heard it, of course,
and for time the street in front of
the Quay home became quite a boule-
ward, all because of the curious per-
sons who wished to hear the parrot.
Finally the bird became so hateful
to Mrs. Davidson that she went to
sell it. The other members of the
family objected, as the bird had been
favorite of the senator. Finally
Mrs Davidson prevailed and the bird
was sold.

Protecting the Birds,

Nowhere are birds better protected
than in Germany. 1t is not only a
subject Of law there, but of education
also, for children are taught in the
schools the usefulness of birds in pro-
tecting trees, plants, crops and gar
dens. Bird-houses, and even bird-re-
factories, are seen in every park. On
the other hand, the enemies of useful
birds, such as kits, buzzards, hawks,
magpies, kestrels and jays, are re-
morselesslv killed under the encour-
agement of local governments, which
offer rewards for their destruction.
One consequence is that the harvest
fields and gardens of Germany suffer
relatively little damage from noxious
insects.

BIRD SEASON IN NORTHWEST.
Prairie Chicken and Grouse Have
Flourished In Absence Of Rain.

This extended drought has been
good for one thing, we certainly will
have large crop of prairie chickens
and grouse" said a st. Paul sports
man who had just returned from a
trip west.
1t Is reported from other sources
that chickens are plentiful this year,
and when the season opens there will
be good shooting. In former years
heavy rains in the breeding season
have tended to drown out the nests Of
the prairie chicken and last year there
were very few brought back by the
hunters. This year promises to be
better.
In the meantime the ducks are hav-
ing hard time of 1t. Reports show
that the usual havnts of these and
other aquatic birds, the small sloughs
and ponds of South Dakota and Min
nesota, have dried up to such an ex-
tent that the ducks are going north.
Many huntsmen from the South
sent their dogs and trainers North to
break them for the opening Of the
season. One party with eighteen
dogs passed through st. Paul from a
hunting club in Georgia. They were
on their way to place north of Win
nipeg, and will return to the States
in time to get the good shooting
