Insomnia In PHILADELPHIA.


Ushers in theaters handle some Pc
culiar people during a season, but the
experience of the employees of Phil
adelphia playhouse was puzzle for
some time.
A well-dressed, middle-aged man
would secure an end seat in the front
row almost every evening. He would
tell the usher II he fell asleep he was
not to be disturbed until after the
show. AS he was much In earnest
and had paid for his seat no objec-
lions were raised.
No sooner would the orchestra play
the overture than the ushers would
notice that the man was asleep. At
the close of the nights entertainment,
some one would arouse the sleeper
and he would leave with polite &C
acknowledgement.
One night he explained his strange
behavior.
Il suffer from insomnia" he said.
THE only relief get is when l sit
close to the drummer in an orchestra.
There is something in the rhythmic
beating of the drum that soothes me
to sleep"

WITH THE BIRDS
Lover Of Feathered songsters Argues
That They Never Take More
Fruit Than They Need.

Birds we must have, not only to.
make the country countrified, not only
for the company and the song, but be-
cause our crops are dependent so
largely upon their help. The singers
not only sing, but they eat vast guam
titles of insects and the seeds Of nox-
ious weeds are devoured by the ton.
So much of this help do they extend
that we can afford to seed them as
regularly and systematically as we do
the COW and horse. 1t is those who
do nothing of this sort who suffer
most from their depredations.

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY IS LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
other Considerations Mark Il az
Most Suitable Spot for Dedl-
cation Of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion Of the Panama Canal
IN 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all the nations Of the world
may participated and the question of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its APP
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contrasting for the honor Of hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums of
money as an evidence Of their ability
to finance 30 great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy of the term
Worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed
vocational movement. It's success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
ton who can secure its educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel
ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost In railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the 'Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
ton, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population In the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius Of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17,500,000
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000.
Within a radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,000,000.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
| principal cities with a combined
population of 100000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only 8 large cities, with a com.
bined population Of just 100000
The average distance Of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over rs per cent. Of the people OF
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average Of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This Is an important public ques
ton to be settled by Congress at tbs
session which convenes in December
Many of our readers will wish t

KkN many non-church going
NNElK people that ought to be
go reached; they need the
benefit that is to be de-
rived from regular church attendance
and the churches need them. Now
have no patent right method or
scheme that can guarantee to work
in all cases. What l have to say will
be from my experience in small towns
and country districts.
To accomplish the best results it re-
quires the united and consecrated eff
fort of both church and pastor. Many
a pastor has found himself handi-
capped by the attitude Of the church.
To speak plainly there are some fam.
flies that have withdrawn from church
and there are others that the church
has withdrawn from them and in both
cases you have difficulties to over
come.
Now to overcome these difficulties
and many others the pastor must have
first of all good common sense, no
substitute will do. Second, a passion
for souls, not simply seeking to swell
his congregation and increase the
church membership in order to make
a good showing. Jesus says: 81 will
make you fishers Of men," A third
and very important thing in getting
people to come to church is tact and
that you can't beg, borrow or buy,
neither can YOU keep it in stock, 1t
must be coined on the spot, In the
case of the disciples it meant after
they had toiled all night and taken
nothing to cast their net on the other
side"
Mexico Missouri message., 1910-10-13
Why Some Ministers Fail.

There are a few ministers that l
have known that will never succeed
In getting outsiders to come to church
unless they meet with a wonderful
change. I will hint at "a few things
where they stand in their own light;
too busy with their own thoughts to
recognize people or speak when they
meet them; others sit and read the
Bible or religious papers all the time
verse; Then there are others that are
altogether too free with their advice.
We have thought sometimes, why
can't some ministers learn that doc
tors, lawyers, merchants, carpenters,
masons and farmers are all supposed
to know their own business better
than he does. Talking too much about
what we are not sure Of may make
people lose all confidence in us when
we give them good scriptural advice.
Let me illustrate by telling of a lit
tie incident that l tried the other day
A young minister was invited to speak
to the boys on a training ship just be
fore they sailed for a long cruise
Wishing to get into the good graces
and win their attention, he spoke to
them first of sailor life and navigation
in general and finally came around tc
give them some good sound advice
from a religious standpoint and when
he was through one of the lads spoke
up and said: Say, mister, If you
don't know any more about that re
ligious business than you do about
navigation don't care to take YOU
advice."--G. N, White, In Wesleyan
| Methodist.

Efficacy of Pastoral Visiting.

believe lack of pastoral visiting
is responsible for a great deal of the
Indifference to the claims of the
church. My brethren, we should be

Gel In our pastor visiting as we should
in the pulpit work. / make 1t point
to get over my parish just as quick as
can after get moved, and l find
many things in favor of such a plan.
BY all means go to the people that do
not go to church; go, say, before
some one has been kind enough to tell
you all about them. Go before you
get to think like the rest that their
case is hopeless; go before they think
the church has sent you, go before you
have lot Of poor excuses for not call
ing before, go before you think there
is going to be wedding or funeral
soon in the home and you are afraid
they might go out of town for min
lister.
Perhaps they may say I guess you
have made mistake; we do not at
tend church. This is your chance to
let them know that you are there to
treat everybody alike; that as min
lister of the gospel you are their min
lister as well as those who belong to
the church. Many time little later
