cic he cry out in alarm when he heard
that the Ictalurus punctatus was suff
ering from a puncture.
Looking the doctors, scientists, and
learned Enguists sternly in the eye
Mr.. Bowers yipped out in authorita'
tive tones:
None nf that CUFF with me! That
first fish you mentioned is a QIinnat
salmon. The second is perch. The
third is a spotted cat. Call 'em that
hereafter. If it's salmon, say so. II
it's a spotted cat, call it a spotted
cat. What I'VE want in this bureau is
less Latin and more results. Cut out
the Ictalurus pulctatus business and
come on with the strong pulch for
your job!"
That was the beginning of the
regime that has lasted to the present
day. At first the scientists throughout
the country came TO bat with the CON-
plant that politician was no At per.
also took crack at George on the
general theory that he would neglect
the trout and the bass. But in a few
months the abuse and the oubcries
died down Mr.. Bowers was making
COED as the Human Hook. He was
catching fish every day, and he was
using them to good purpose. Not long

from Maine, a State noted for three

III letter from a big railroad man,
and said
Owing TO your efforts, we hear 10
more stories about the lakes and
streams of the State being unstocked
with trout. Fifteen years ago ii was
said on every hand that the fish OF
Maine were being exterminated. You
have set that rumor at rest forever.
And that comment came from the
heart-also from the purse. The rail
roads make money out az the sport
OF fishing-the anglers have to buy a
railroad ticket in order to reach their
destination.
Ten years ago the Holsters off the
coasts of Massachusetts and Maine
had been decimated and almost wiped

there he keeps from twelve to IF.

purposes. Last year he planted one
hundred and sixty million Holsters off
the coasts Of Maine and Massachu-
sets. In the last twelve months
Holsters aggregating total of nine
teen million pounds have been caught
in that section OF the sea.
The Human Hook carries his activis

fur seal fisheries in Alaska, and he is
as much at home in Yes Bay as he Is

The church's Present Mission.

Our present mission, then. is not that
OF heart breaking. The stony-hearted
are doing that work continually. Our
mission is to lay down life Itself in
assisting all the broken-hearted to a
true knowledge of God and n true ap-
probation OF His Plan for the Church,
and His subsequent Plan for the
world. We, then. as ambassadors for
God, beseech men TO be reconciled TO
God and TO come into harmony with
him. But even though our words be
scattered broadcast we know '.dt only
the tender-heartcd and broken hearted
are likely to hear and TO respond. The
message once confined 10 the Jews. as
Gods "chosen people" Is no longer con-
fined to them. II was to the Jew first.
now equally TO the Gentiles: HE that
hath an ear to hear. let him hear"
Those who have not the ear cannot
hear this message. even though the
sound thereof has gone out into all
the earth, and the words of the mes
sage to the ends Of the earth. In due
titnc, uuTlils Messluu NiiEuohi, dii
the blind eyes will be opened and all
the deaf ears will be unstoppcd. and
the knowledge of God shall be world
wide and ocean-deep. But not yet!
So long as Satan rules in this world
he will blind the minds Of those who
believe not. in order TO hinder the true
light from shining into their souls.
God has permitted him success in re-
spect to the world; because the Di-
vine message at the present time Is
intended only for the special class who
hunger and thirst after righteousness.
These are called with the message,
Gather My saints unto Me. saith the
Lord, those who have made covenant
with Me by sacrifice"
