Mirrors Of tho Israslites.

The earliest mirrors of which
mention is made in history were in
use among the Israelites in the time
of Moses. That gentleman, as re-
corded in the Bible, commanded in
a certain emergency that these arti-
cles should be transformed into
wash basins for the priests. They
were made of brass. Doubtless sim
liar utensils of this and other mate
rials were in use long before that.
At that same period black glass
was employed for the purpose as
well as transparent glass with black
foil on the back. 1t is related that
the Spaniards found mirrors of pol
ished black stone, both convex and
concave, among the natives of
South America.

Ethel Barrymors's Curtain Speech That
Made q Hit.

A thousand Cornell students went
to the theater one evening to hear
Ethel Barrymore. AS the play pro-
gressed the young men admiringly
watched the pretty young actress
every move, chung to each word she
spoke, followed her every graceful
gesture. At the fall of the first two
curtains the applause vas one bet
| ter than thunder, and each time the
| pleased Miss Barrymore bowed her
thanks to her enthusiastic admirers.
When the final curtain fell and
when the valedictory applause died
out a football cheer leader down in
front jumped on to his seat and
cried out, READY, men; the loco
motive for Ethel" And with the
boom Of the sea the famous yell Of
the old college sounded throughout
the theater. When the yell died out
the shout of speech, speech" was
taken up with an insistence and an
enthusiasm that clearly would brook
no denial.
After a moments pause the cur
tain was pushed aside, and out came
Miss Barrymore, half smiling and
half afraid. She toyed for a second
OF two with a hat she held in her
hands, and then, as she laughed that
familiar little nervous laugh Of
hers, sh" said, "Oh, say, fellows, I
can't make a speech, so let's all

Story Teller

A friend of James Whitcomb Riley tells
of an occasion when the humorist, who
USUALLY dislikes social functions, was in
dUced to attend a literary dinner in
Indianapolis given in honor of one of
the novelists who live there. Mr.. Riley
had been told to take IN to dinner a
sister of the host, an excellent woman.
but not literary.
The conversation touching upon the
beauties of Chaucer, about whom a GER
tain set of the city was then cultivating
a fad, a spirited discussion ensued, dur
ing which the bewildered sister caught
from time to time only the name
"Chaucer." At last she whispered to
Riley:
who is this Mr.. Chaucer they're talk
ing so much about? Is he very popular
in society,""
Madam" solemnly responded Riley,
that man did something that forever
shuts him out of society"
Mercy exclaimed the worthy woman.
What was it?'
He died several hundred years ago."

outside the advertisers range. Reputable
doctors and decent lawyers do not adver>
tise. They simply announce themselves
in a plain card and office address. They
are right Sensational efforts to bring to
public notice the services which they Of
fer would be the Surest evidence of their
inCompetency and unftness. So also the
preaching of the gospel is not thing to
be exploited in the market place. The true
messenger Of heaven has nothing to sell.
Salvation to a lost world is not to be
offered by the arts Of a patent medicine
vender. Sermons are not to be proclaimed
noisily FOR sale in the tones of the
street peddler or with the tricks of the
auctioneer.
These reprehensible methods of church
advertising could never have become COM
mon if preachers seeking patronage had
not become common. They will pass away
when all preachers resume the position of
ambassadors of God and spurn the posi-
ton of congregational caterers.
But there will always be caterers in
the pulpit as long there are people
who want that sort of thing. Men some
times say, like priest, like people; but
this is to misquote the Scripture and
TO reverse the true order. Hosea said,
like people, like priest, CHosea ix:9)
and Isaiah before him declared ''as with
the people, so with the priest isaiah

of people who do not go to Church to
find the way of salvation and the path
of duty, but to be entertained and to
hear something new there will be a sup
ply of men to meet the demand thus
created.
st. Paul foresaw and foretold these
things, and warned his son Timothy
against them saying. 1.-The time will come
when they will not endure sound doctrine:
hut Oft Tbafr bol1
to themselves teachers, having itching
ears; and they shall turn away their
ears from the truth, and shall be turned
into fables" III Timothy iv:SD. Ger
tainly: and why not? Fables are far more
entertaining than serious truth which puts
a strain on the moral nature, rebuking
sin and calling one to strenuous efforts
for holiness. Truth is no more capable of
use as a means of mere entertainment
than healing medicines are of use as pal
atable beverages. When a congregation
demands a brewer of pulpit beverages
rather than healer and helper of souls
they can always find him. He is good
mixer all sorts of stimulating aromat-
les. and instead of a white apron wears
white neclItie. He may be guaranteed
to be always "up-to-date". He will please
at all costs. To entertain he will offer
for sale if the market calls for it, decoc
tions of "near-scepticism."
The remedy for the evil, in both preach
er and people, is found in religious earn
estness,-in real concern for a vigorous
spiritual life. If all hands would go forth
with the burning purpose to save the
world from sin, themselves included. en-
tertainer in the pulpit and the entertained
in the pew would vanish from the earth on
the same day. This whole unadmirable
and unwhoIesome condition is a equity
condition arising from overlooking and
underwriting.
