HOW pE DoDGED THE ISSUE
Minister, Preaching Funeral Sermon
for Worthless Man, Talked of
This Glorious Age.

One of the hardest things a minis
ter is called upon 10 do is to deliver
an address at the funeral OF man
for whom there Is really nothing good
10 be said. Such moments of embar-
rassment do occasionally arise. How
one parson tactfully COPIED with the
situation Is thus reported in Human
Life.
The very worst man In mining
camp not notoxious for its piety died.
'fhe fellow had been terribly bad. II
he lacked anything OF total depravity,
none could recall any eviience OF il.
lie had been brutal and deoauched
and iehased in every way known to
mankind. When he died there was
a cuandary as to what to do at his
funeral He had been shot down in
his boots, in defsnse Of the very de
cency of the camp. A nonresident
rlinister was sent for, and was told
the awful truth about the deceased
"nidn't he have any good pcint?"
asked the minister.
Not one
Wasn't he even kind to child
some time?"
Never"
The miuister was lost In thought a
while; then he asked:
When Is the funeral to be-"
Tomorrow at three. VIII You
preach?"
oh, yes"

about?"

President Taft is new type Of
public official with which the
American people are rapid Y get
ting acquainted Acting under
the law tor the whole people. in
different to the clamor Of those in
public life from selfish motives,
whose only hope OF recognition
lies in nillage OF party ruins and
not in constructive craftsmanship;
he is making a silent, lrresista bic
appeal TO the patriotism OF home
loving people whose only interest
in politics is their loyalty to the
fundamental principles Of stable
government.
We note with pride the inter
est taken in President Titts re-
cent public addresses BY the sub
stantial, thinking, law abiding peo
pie OF the communities he has
visited and see in it the assurance
OF his denomination and reelection
as the chief executive OF the great
est nation in the world
To this end we heartily pledge
ourselves urequiyocally 10 support
the sentiment, purposes and OBJ
iects of this club and to support
the Republican county, state and
national tickets.

Shifting Ministers.

One of Wesley's reasons for shifting
his preachers every three years was
avcwedly that they might be able to
preach the same sermon over again to
different congregations. He knew by
experience the difficulty of sermon
making. After a few weeks, he said,
a preacher cannot find matter for
preaching every morning and evening,
nor will the people come to hear him,
whereas If he never stays more than
Fortnight in one place he will find
plenty of matter, and the people will
hear him gladly. l know that were
to preach one whole year in one place
| should preach both myself and my
congregation to sleep.

SAVED BY TR0UsE2 BUTTON
Alpine Guide Finds Tiny Article ir
Rock Ciefs and Lost Climbers
Are Rescued.

The Alpine guide has practically
no knowledge Of the use OF map and
compass; in fact, he is prone to de-
spise their aid. yet how many dozen
of lives would have been saved on
Mont Blanc alone had such simple
aid been appreciated. The profess
sional prefers to rely on his powers
of observation and that peculiar in
stinct sometimes aptly described as
the bump OF locality. He is alert TO
detect the slightest traces of pre-
decessors. A party Of us were once
befogsed and had lost all idea OF our
position on the complicated westerly
face OF the Riffelhorn. A young
guide was with us, and he became SO
dangerously disconsolate and help
less that one of the amateurs had to
take the lead. For some hours we
fought with severe difficulties, dis
couraged meanwhile by our compan.
ions prophecy of certain disaster
His poor old mother was doomed to
lose her only support! Things were
altogether miserable. Suddenly we
came to a ledge on desperate cor
ner with a steep chimney to the
right. The young guide signaled his
arrival by my side with a great and
startling yodel. joyous shout as Of
deliverance. His quick eye had es
pied trouser button in the cleft OF
the chimney, and we knew that we
had struck a regular route. That
tiny relic Of humanity put new life
into the faltering one, and he then
led US hand over hand to the summit.
