Chow-CIiOw.

CbOw-CIlOw.
Chow-Chow was not a pickle. but a
chicken. and a real funny one. too.
l made friends with him when he
was no bigger han a. robin. He was
an only child. OF course his mother
had enough TO do to pet and fuss
over him. But he would leave her
any time when We called "C-h-o-w-
Chow" n then "Chow-Chow-
Chow-Chow" as fast as he could talk.
His mother was q beautiful bun
Shanghai, but he was a long-legged
Brahma, dressed in a speckled black
and-gray suit. AS the boys got chilly,
in the fall, 1t seemed as II he suffered
~dreadfulIy from cold feet. He was
always cuddling down in the warm
feathers of his mothers back, even
when he was a pretty big fellow.
One day, I aid Come. Chow

en-. opened the oven door and rave his
cold feet a toasting. Oh. how he en-
joyed it, He opened and shut his
claws as he lay on my lap. and chow
chowed, II pecked at the buttons
on my dress.
The next day II was pretty cold;
and. the first thing l heard, when l
went into the kitchen, was a tapping
at the window-pane. There was
'Chow-Chow" on the window sill.
pecking at the glass. and holding up
one foot. and then the other. He was
talking. or rather scolding, at the top
of his voice.
I let him In. He went straight to
the stove. n waited for me to take
him in my arms and warm his feet.
He seemed to think Ii was ever 30
much nicer than his mothers feath-
erS.
One cold morning I was busy when
he came in. The stove was very hot;
and "Ghow-Chow"-silly birdt-could
not wait for me to attend to him. He
flew up on the top of the love. Then
he gave a scream and landed on the
table. That was the first and last time
he tried to warm his feet without my
help.
My sister always said that Chow

a rooster. She said, The irst we
know. 'Chow-Chow' VIII lay an egg"
! said, The first we know Chow
Chow will crow"
After a while / saw some bright
red whiskers under his chin, then such
a pretty coral comb. Still, he only
talked 'Chow-Chow-Chow."
But n morning he came into the
kitchen In a great hurry. He jumped
upon the table. tapped his wings and
str his long neck, opened his
mouth, and. oh, such q queer noise!
1t was a squeak and q roar. i ran
upstairs to my sister. TT In a rooster.

But our chicken grew up one OF

In view OF the extraordinary i'm
%portance Of the great world-gathering
of Baptists at Philadelphia next week
n of the fact hat the Alliance will
not meet again for five years 1t seems
fitting TO give a large part of u re-
ligious page this week to matters
connected with II. Such a gathering
is of interest, not only to those direct
ly connected with this great Chris
tian body. but TO Christians of every
am and communion.
1t will not be amiss to give a brief
account of the origin of the idea of
this Pan-Baptist Conference.
ON April a. 1895, more than SIX
teen years ago the Religious Herald
Of this city. published an editorial
from which this paragraph Is taken,
written by the editor OF this pag
why might We not have a Pan-Bap-
fist Council, a representative gath
ering of Baptists from all parts Of
the globe for mutual acquaintance and
the discussion OF matters of common
interest? What a blessed, unifyins,
uplifting thing 1t would be to have
Baptists from Europe Asia, Africa,
America Australia coming together in
a great gathering Whyt
can't 1t be held
In succeeding issues the idea was
pressed but nothing practical came
of II. About eight years later DIR.
A. T. Robertson, OF the Southern Bap-
fist Seminary, who had read the ar
ticlss in the Religious Herald and says
that ne was definitely Influenced" by
them. renewed the suggestion in d
Western paper. The idea then began
to assume practical shape and finally
found expression In 1906 in the first
World Conference of Baptists eve
held. The place of meeting was Lon
don and a goodly number of Virgin
ians attended.
The opening session Of the APP
preaching meeting at Philadelphia
will be held In the Baptist Temple at

In different parts Of the globe. birds
and animals often have to resort to
rather odd means to secure their bath,
owing to the scarcity OF water. A

A q result of this absence Of
