tions who hug the hot fire.

growl at "the ring"
Did you ever stop to fig
ure what makes a ring?
The men who do the work,
who visit the sick, who trot
around town on committees,
who arrange the stunts for
you to split your sides with
laughter, who dig down deep
when occasion demands it,
and who always respond to
the cry for help, either men
tai, physical or financial.
That's the ring more po-
wer to them!
And if there are any ac-
tions Of the ring that you
don't approve Of, turn in
and zine EN-" You'll find
it mighty easy if you don't
shirk the hard work and slip
perry places.
You're not tongue-tied,
and you nave the privilege
Of bowling, but unless you're
willing to get on the band
wagon and do your share Of
the pushing, don't yell at the
ones who are.

it is the better the temple

Burning Ashes With Coal.

Altoona, Pa, John Ellmore's
secret df burning ashes with coal
is out and nearly every house
holder in Altoona is now using it,
with great saving in coal bills.
Several well-known chemists, i'm
mediately after it was announced
that Gilmore had solved the prob
lem of obtaining heat from ashes,
set to work TO try to discover the
formula. They were successful,
and here it is:
Common salt, l pound.
0xalic acid, 2ounces.
Water, l gallon.
Mix and moisten mixture
containing one part coal and
three parts ashes, and a better
fuel than,pnre coal is obtained.
The ashes of anthracite coal
burn as readily as do those of
bituminous.
This mixture will, upon being
piace0 apon q burning fire, fuse
int0 i L44 .Amass and deposit
-s1T little e.
Tho somogdhd is now being
used n several large industrial
and mercantile places here, anc
it is claimed for it that it has re.
duced the fuel item more thar
half.
Gilmore claims that his patenr
will protect him in his secret. =

the administration of this service

Cor. 9-5-7. In the 9Th chapter
and beginning at verse 8 he says
that the church of Eacidonia was
willing beyond power, praying US
with much intreaty that would
receive the gift, and take upon
us the fellowship of the minister
ing to the si4nts. Note the ad-
ministraton of the service, THUS

in this grace also. How many

many preachers shun to declare
it. Paul says for US to abound

knowledge, God accepts us by US
having a willing mind, and not
according to what we have. In
S and 19, he says / mean not
that other, men be eased and ye
burdened, but advises them to
consider liberality and equality,
Also verses 18 and 10, he sends
the brother with Titus, who was
also chosen of the churches to
travel with us with this grace,
which is administered by US to
the glory of the same Lord and
declaration Of your ready mind.
We ask the ineorrible to read
this entire chapter and pray God
for understanding, bearing in
mind that we are living under
the same covenant that those
apostles did, and don't think be-
cause the Lord has chosen some
evangelists, as he anciently did
that they should 60 barefooted

and sleep on the fence. Of course
there is another side to this ques-
ton, the man that wont preach
unless he is sure of the pay, is
not the character typified in this
lesson. The Minister that prea-
ches as Paul did without making
a charge, should have help to
carry the news to others. And
in conclusion, we think it
needful for various associations
to have an evangelist 2 Cor 1915
who could visit all the churches,
each year. Also go to other pla.
ces where they need preaching,
This could be readily done, by
the administration of this service
