"CATCH MY PAL"

There's a new movement abroad in
the land
It started in Ireland, has reached
England, Australia and New Zealand
and is spreading il the United States.
It is the Catch NV Pal movement,
to assist in the cause Of temperance.
This is the way it works.: )
First you climb aboard the water
wagon yourself. (That means, YOU
know, that you pledge yourself to com
plete or partial abstinence from drink
ing alcoholic li1uors) Then, being safe
" seated, you reach down your hand,
catch hold Of the hand OF friend and
brother and assist him to a place be
side you.
That's the Catch My Pal' move
| ment. Simple, is it not?
When your pal feels himself safely
settled in his place he stretches his
hand for his chum.
And so the movement grows.
The father Of the idea is the Rev.
Robert J. Patterson, a clergyman Of
ireland. He says, 'The beauty of this
movement is that the unit, the individ-
ual, can do great deal without being
greatly Inconvenience"
OF course. It is always the unit that
makes up the total Of anything. Get
sufficient number Of units and you
succeed In whatever you undertake.
Now, this "Catch Ny Pal" move
ment contains the germ Of great idea.
1t is founded on the great principle Of
reform from within, not from without.
The greatest and most lasting re-
forms are those which are actuated by
forces within the souls Of men, not
from without. Before man can feel
that he is called upon to lead or follow
in movement for reform or advance
ment of any sort he must be deeply
moved in spirit The initial push may
come from without, but the inspiration
to continue in motion must come from
within He must be possessed with a
deep and abiding sense Of the right
eousness Of his action before he will
continue in the path laid out for him.
Within, not without the man, lies
the field for reform.
This Catch Ny PAL idea is 9 good
one for application elsewhere than in
the temperance movement. Suppose,
for example, that you are firmly con-
WINGED Of the righteousness Of q DolIt-
zeal movement. You join it and are
seated safely and firmly on its chariot
/ ~ ,>ronroco 90 Won bnlipya Now
1 from your vantage post, why not reach
4 your hand to your brother, walking n
| the path Of error, and help him to q
/ seat alongside of yourself?
Only in this way are great causes
advanced.
Be certain il your own mind, OF
course, that the cause you espouse Is
lust. before stretching out your hanc
to others.

IN the heart Of the island, which
might be called Comfort island that

The First Riddle.

The very first riddle on record is
that propounded by Samson to the
thirty companions who came to the
marriage feast of his wife-aftervard
burned to death with her father by
the Philistines-and for the answer to
which he promised to give them thirty
sheets and thirty changes of garments.
Out of the eater came forth meat
and out of the strong came forth
sweetness" For the outcome see the
book of Judges xiv, 1920.

The Bitter End.

The word bitter in this expression
does not imply what appears at first
glance to be the meaning It is de
rived from the nautical term bits or
ssbitts." a frame of two pieces of tim
Der located in the fore part of the ship
for the purpose Of holding the anchor
cables. Accordingly the bitter or the
bitt end of the cable is the end fas-
tened to the bitts and when cable Is
out as far as it will go it has reached
it's bitter end.
As consequence when anything has
reached the last extremity we say that
it has come to the bitter end.
