schooaster deliberately left his seat and proceeded to
the pulpit. In ringing voice he stated that Parson
Prendergast had anticipated such ending of his
career and had made him promise that the event
befe he would keep the fire aght the sacred altar
Elder Perkins sat down much agitated and inclined
to be indignant; but before he knew what had hap
pened he with all the rest of the congregation was lifted
as it were, marvellous tide and flood of eloquence.
The elder put his hand to his and seemed to have
difficulty in following that dazzling discourse.
Extemporaneously, with fluent step from point to
point with vast array of illustration and metaphor,
with pertinent citations from the Scriptures never hest

the following Sabbath he would again occupy the
pulpit and continue the message OF their dearly beloved

Here is story of one OF these forgotten hamlets:
1t was Sunday morning. The sun shone hot from a
cloudless sky. Groups of men and women attlred IN
sober homespun were making their way to the VAIN
bridge meeting house. The men engaged in godly
converse relating the last Sabbath's sermon; but
of the could hardly withhold their tongues
from gossip

Mistress Peckham with tone OF acdity in her voice.

operation.
Machinists' unions throughout the
country will be taking referendum
votes until Jan. on the ACCESSIBILITY
of disseminating machinists' sections
and giving their support to system
declarations.
The machinists' sections have been
very successful, particularly the North
western Consolidated section, of which
Thomas Van Lear is president, embrac-
ing every railroad north of the Union
Pacific and west of the great lakes,
says Labor Review.
1t Is felt, however, that a co-opera-
ton of all the various railroad crafts
in a system federation will prove more
effective
A union of the various unions en-
ployed ON railroads is the one real
ultimate victory for the wageworkers,
and this fact is clearly recognized by
both the railroad managers and the
workmen.
The recent machinists' convention at
Davenport, Ia, went on record against
holding conventions, preferring to con
duct the business by referendum. I'm
less this proposition is defeated by
the present referendum vote the ma
chinists, like the cigarmakers, will
conduct their international affairs by
referendum instead of by convention.
The convention idea is very costly, ac-
cording to delegates.
Members of the association will soon
be called upon to vote upon several
matters which were ordered by the
| last convention to be submitted for
| their approval. Perhaps the most i'm.
| portant of these referendum questions
is that which calls for a vote whether
| the international offices shall be re-
moved from Washington and, if so, tO
what place. Two cities ask for the
offices, st. Louis and Indianapolis 1t
Is believed st. Louis will secure the
headquarters. If removal carries, the
new offices will be opened Jan. /, 1912,
with William Johnston, the new presi-
dent, in charge Before locating in
Washington the headquarters were in
Chicago, but in 1908 were removed to
Washington.
