OLD FASHIONED FAMILY FEW
In That, Rested the Strength of the
Church, and II Should Be
Restored

One sometimes hears a deal OF nom
sense about the danger OF creating a
prejudice against religion In the mind
OF child by making him attend
church once week The danger
would seem to be about one-tenth as
great IS that OF aroasing a prejudice
against education by sending him to
school twice day In both cases the
remedy lies In the good sense Of the
parents and their estimate of the
value Of religion and education care
fully instiiled into the child's mind.
The strength Of the church has been

at one end and mother at the other.
and stairway Of more or less restless
children. From that pew have gone
out the upright devout, consecrated
men and women who have loved the
church and maintained her worship
and done her work in their several
generations For the sake of the
church, and especially for the sake of
the children, let It be restored.
If 1t be impossible for the children
to attend both Sunday school and the
church service, this writer would by
all means teach them the catechism
at home and bring them to church
that they may learn to Worship God in
the congregation Of his people.--South-
ern Churchman.

First Chapter of Genesis Conforms In
Many Instances With Late Dis
coveries In Science.

We have often heard "the mistakes
OF Moses" in the first chapter of Gene
sis commented upon. but what espe-
cially strikes us In that chapter is not
its contraventions of science, but its
harmonies with late discoveries. How
did the writer, many centuries before
the story Of the rocks had been de-
ciphered, know that there was begin

peared on the earth? Who taught the
writer that the earth was without form

long delayed, SLOW emergence of land
should be set forth as 1t IS? Was II
mere guesswork that prompted the
writer TO say grasses were created be-
fore animals, and not for animals al

that life In the water appears before

TAME GULLS OF SHETLAND
Zach Family in Lerwick Has Its Own
Flock Which the Children
Feed.

There arc many small villages II
the world that have only one street;
but Lerwick, in Shetland, besides hav
ing only single street possesses only
one tree, and 1t is not very tall one
either. There are no land birds there
not even sparrow; but the sea gulls
are plentiful
The inhabitants of Shetland are
very proud Of their tree and very kind
to the gulls. of whom the children
make pets. Children who are brought
for the first time to see the wonders
of UNRESTRICTED Lerwick are always
shown, as a great curiosity, the only
tree in Shetland"
The sea gulls are the sparrows of
Lerwick and as such they have a
greater share in the towns life than
the sparrows of London. In the
morning you will note that sea gull
sits on every chimney pot. Sea gulls
swoop and hover over every roof in
town. The air Is full of their strange,
high, plaintive, haunting cries.
Every house has its own familiar
sea gulls and every street its own
band Of them. But, according to the
Fruit Magazine, they never mix. The
children in each house have a pet
name for their own particular sea
gulls; and, having called them by
those names, they feed them every
day.
Each sea gull knows what Is meant
for him. No bird attached to one
house ever seeks to- eat the food scat
tered from the house next door. He
does not dare to do so. So all day
long the sea gulls hover and call over
the roofs of Lerwick.
The people of the town If they come
across little pile Of rice laid upon the
roadway step over 1t with care They
know that 1t has been placed thore for
some sea gull And at night the sea
gulls leave their appointed chimney
pots and fly gracefully away to their
resting places on the rocks of the
Isle of Moss.

things were getting along before going

night. When he lay down and went
to sleep, his little dog barked and
woke him with the rig all ablaze. He
pulled his hat over his face, put a
hand over his mouth and started for
the door, bit he caught foot in the

found the door and both he and the
drlller got outside without stitch Of
clothing on either. They knew the
driller was dying. When men ran
from the other side of the rig, on
seeing the flames, White told them
all about it and talked all the time
