The MORTGAGE LIMIT.

nLD BodkIns for his honesty
Was noted hear and far.
~ He got the auto fever, and
He went and bought a car.
He wouldn't ask for credit, SO
He took along his spouse
And raised the money for the car
BY mortgaglng his house.
He wanted then a swell garage
To shelter the machine.
He forthwith put upon the car
A satisfactory lien.
And then the fines for speeding came
In fact, they grew quite large
And so to pay the awful tax
lie mortgaged the garage.
One windy day he lost his hat
While riding with his kid,
And not a single cent he had
To buy another lid.
Now, mortgages are useful things
Sometimes" old Bodkins said.
"They cover everything I've got
Except my hairless headi"

The Postoffice,

A provision has been added to the Post

Postoffiicc Committee without proper no
tice or public hearing. 1T provides for an
unjust, discriminatory and confscatory tax
on the popular magazines. BY attaching
this provision TO the Postoffice Appropria-
ton Bill at the eleventh hour, all oppor-
tunity for open discussion and considera-
ton by the people, the publishers and the
Senate was cut off. 1t was an m-Ameri-

Even if it were possible for the magaz-

new conditions, the people would derive no
benefit from the measure; for until the post

City churches unlike the country
churches are greatly hindered in fit
ting the people for the proper walks
of life by evils of both civic and social
misconceptions of sin These vary
IN import proportionately with the in
telligence and the secular aspirations.
The pastor who undertakes the task
of throttling these gigantic forces
without the aid of his fellow-minister
is greatly in need of the apostolic
spirit, and there is the greatest dan
ger nowadays among many OF us OF
losing sight of the life-glvlng power
in preaching Gods word by being
over anxious to become popular and
to be called great preachers, the
worlds preachers, and to have his
audience leave the church talking
about the great sermon clothed with
oratorical flights and sandwiched
with concentrations But at the
same time no one sees him or herself
lost soul and doomed to hell and
damnation-- the very things the
Gospel of Jesus Christ is intended to
make lost souls see 1t required
vision cf Cornelius the Gentle con-
vert to sever the selfish notions Of
Peter before he could say, 81 per-
ceive that God is no respector of per-
sons; but he that feareth Him and
wOrKeth righteousness is accepted
with Him." The necessity of Peer
being brought before the brethren 20
give an account of his going to Cor
nelius' house fittingly illustrates the
need of ministers conference for
the spiritual and mutual helpfulness
of the Gospel as preached by us.
Schiller, an chronological writer
said "That man is an initiative crea-
turG and whoever is foremost leads
the herd" 1t is further asserted, st
is by imitation far more than by pre-
cept that we learn everything and
what we do learn thus we acquire not
only effectively but more pleasantly;
this forms our manners, our opinions
and our lives" The ministry of to-
day will not receive its due recogni-
tion simply by being good proclaim
er of the Gospel truths but by addi-
tional evidence of their ability to wise
ly handle the believer of these truths,
so If we would enjoy the fullest con-
fidence of all we must avail ourselves
of every opportunity to prepare to
meet public assemblies In an intelli-
gent and forceful manner. The
knowledge of executing the disciplin-
airy duties. of our churches is as i'm
portant in it's place as the knowl-
edge of proclaiming the gospel in it's
place, and since many of us for the
want of means as well as time have
not this knowledge, there IS no place
where we can be more helpful to
each other in obtaining this knowl-
edge than in a conference, where
brother to brother can be helpful and
as men of supposed intelligence
who occupy places of needed intelli-
gence, duty binds us to thus assemble
where only ministries who know the
need of better Improvements to help
each other for the works sake, gather.
