A Methodist conference has sought
to make more adequate provision for
the needs of aged clergpmen and
their wives or widows. 1t is a move
ment that must appeal to universal
sympathy.
A more faithful, patient, and at
the same time under-paid class of
intelligent, capable men could hard
~ be found. What is true of the
Methodist clergy is very largely true
of all Protestant clergymen.
We pay literally for our pleas
ures, but precious little for our pie
ty. We are told that salvation is
free" and this is one of the few
things in the Bible that we are
pleased to interpret literally.
If the toll along the road were
heavier there would perhaps be few
err hypocrites marching in the pro-
fession.
But the salvation of others is not
free to the poor minister.
1t costs him much privation, self
denial and sarifice, even in his ac-
tive years, and when old age comes
he must pay in want and suffering.
Except in mparatively few city
churches. pastors receive small sal
aries, out of which ii is practically
impossible to make provision for old
age: even in the large city churches,
where the pastors are men of pre-
eminent abilities, the salaries are
Unreasonable less than might be
made We're the same abilities APP
piled in other professions.
So the preachers have to pay with
suffering of themselves and families
for the salvation that their congre-
cations so Justify sing is free" In
their unrequited toll and denial and
anxiety they often pay for the free
salvation of men who have millions
of worldly goods and for building
monuments on which to record their

niggardly dole out to the minister
the toll of the highway to heaven.
1t is indeed a marvel how the
clergy as class contrive out of
their pittance to support and edu-
cate their families. 1t is a result
reached through the utmost thrift
and self-sacrifice.
1t is but fair that the great relig-
ious bodies which exact such ankle
ties, which pay so little for so much
service, should take measure to pro-
vide for the time when pulpit and
pastoral activity is no longer posi-

him with inconsistency in breaking

FORGET 1T.

Here's a bit of advice to those who
are down,
On whom luck and fortune seem al
ways to frown;
You may have a share of trial and
care,
But don't be downhearted-there
lies despair.
Whate'er comes along, be 1t great
pain or loss,
Each one in this life cant get
through without cross.
But--forget it.
what a beautiful day II was when
you rose,
No clouds to awaken your mind
from repose,
You went on your way with heart
full of Joy.
That felt like defying the world to
alloy.
But then came snub that went
straight to the heart,
And then with the sunshine your
life had no part.
But-forget it.
You ne'er have a trouble half as big
as you take it.
For fortunes rebuff is just what
you make ii.
Come evil, come Woe. you've just got
to bear it;
It's childish vow looking foT Others
to share it.
Whatever you do, 10 not fret o. re-
zine,
1t will do you no good to vince and
to whine.
Just-forget it.
Forgetting what's gloomy, but treas
uring the good,
This life is a garden of flowers in
bud:
Most are sweet scented, there are
some that look gay,
While few there remain We wish
would decay;
But viewed as a whole tbs replete
with much joy,
Just seen in old corners are things
that annoy.
So-forget them.

not even glanced at him as he fen. She
stepped into his place in the doorway
and had her foot on the first rung of
the ladder that led to the top OF the
machine when he touched the water.
Napoleon opened the door for her,
without saying a word.
When she was In the upper machine

was awaiting her further action.
At last she said: with you I would

Napoleon rose high in the air and

they had sighted four blue-iaagged

and upward and those in the bur

of that upward dart, rose also.
"Will you drop that?" shouted Sui
Ivan.
The answer was a hail of bullets.
Sullivan was surprised to see that
they bored into the protecting shell
of his machine. They did not entirely
penetrate the cirynith. THAT Is some
thing new" thought he. After the
return to Ciryne he examined those
bullets and found each tipped with
diamond chips.
He saw, In the distance, two other
a-erodromones coming In answer to his
call for assistance.
The four hostile aerodromones con-

A small house had been erected
near the Crystal Lake. 1t had two
rooms and kitchen, that was all; but
it had been pleasantly and we'll fur
nished with everything a lone woman
might want. When Napoleon assisted
Rositta from the aerodromone he led
her into the pleasant living-room. She
followed him obediently, as II In a
s~rsAcc. seating herself h-tAe-ehair
indicated without a word.
"This Is your future home, Rositta,"
he said, simply.
She did not reply, but sat looking
out the window. at the clear lake and
the steep mountain sides that over
Swallowed the little valley %forbidding-
ly. A strange fire shone in her eyes.
She stood up slowly and cautiously
and stepped to the window. She
looked out at the beautiful green TO-
liage and the blooming flowers for a
long time, and Napoleon did not dis
turb her. Her actions commanded re-
spect.
A smile appeared on her face, a
smile that reminded Napoleon Of his
own mother; 1t expressed mother
owe, the most holy of all.
"See-see how green the grass is!
How blue the sky is! How mild the
air, and the water of the Lago di Mag
giore is as smooth as a mirror" She
beckoned to Napoleon. Just look at
that sweet little girl, see how she runs
on the shore-she is after a butter
fly. Don't you see her, man! Don't
you see herr" She gasped these last
words hoarsely and grasped Napole-
one arm. A nameless terror had his
noble soul in its grip.
Answer me, do you see herr" She
began to sob. "Ah, don't say no-say
you see her. She is my own little girl.
She is good and not like her mother.
She is good, l say! She must be good
to be happy" She sobbed wildly.
Turning to Napoleon she screamed:
Speak, Oh, speak to me, or l shall
go mad entirely"
He took her hands in his and in a
mild voice said: "Rositta, be quiet;
you don't know what you are saying"
She pushed him away. A wild look

He carried her to the sofa and
brought fresh water to revive her.
For two long hours her soul trav-
eled through unknown regions where
there is neither time nor distance.
When she opened her eyes again she
was not the same youthful, vivacious
Rositta. She had become old.
She did not speak for a long time,
and Napoleon had the patience to
await her pleasure, Notwithstanding
his neglected duties at Washington.
At last she sat up and said weakly:
