CHURCH GOING
TO BE CHEAPER
New Tariff Takes the Tax From
Bibles and Cuts It on all
Religious Supplies.

by Bond P. Geddes, star correspond
ent Of the United Press.1
WASHINGTON. Nov 21-The
American husband who has been wont
to settle himself in his easy chair,
plant his feet on another, and spend
Sunday morning reading the news
Taper. and also the husband who
plays golf whilst wife and children
represent the family at church, will
have less excuse hereafter than ever
before to "cut" divine service. The
new democratic tariff law, it is con-
fidently believed, will make church
going cheaper.
For one thing, the import tax Of
twenty-five per cent, which amounts
to about fifty cents apiece on the
popular editions OF foreign made
Bibles, is removed entirely. All
down the line of religious supplies,
the new tariff aims at retail reduc-
lions. Organs are reduced ten per
cent in import duty, stained glass win
dows should be some cheaper, owing
to a ten per cent tariff cut; music is
reduced ten per cent and church furn-
iture from seven to ten per cent.
Another series of reductions in the
tariff which should make all church
supplies cheaper is aimed at all
tracts, pamphlets and religious par.
Iaphernalia, from which import duties
have been entirely removed. Going
on the theory that the democrats, as
they promised, would remove or low.
er import tariffs on all "necessaries
Iof life." the new schedules on relig-
ious goods Of all kinds show that the
national congress is at least religious
and believes religion a necessity"

Apiarists can not readily bell their

The honey bees are, therefore, in SER
ious danger of destruction. Indeed it is
easy to see now a few years of the raw
ages of spraying might make it impos-
sible to say further How doth the busy
bee improve each shining hour"
In this artificial age what difference
will a few honey bees more or less make?

DIR. Aked of San Francisco, the famous
preacher who recently renowned his
British citizenship to become a naturalized
American, describes himself as a republi-
can born on the wrong side Of the water.
This goes far to illustrate an old con-
tention OF ours that Americanism is not
so much an accident of birth as a bent
of mind. We could point out Turks, Tar
tars and Jews who can trace an un-
broken lineage on both sides back to the
rock in Plymouth harbor, And We can also
show some good Yankees who never saw
our shores until they were past middle
life. Yet a good start is something. and
it is no small advantage to have gotten
oneself comfortably born to start with.

A JUST REBUKE.

That reminds me of a story" said a man
Of years mature
Then a half a dozen Youngsters listened
to his words impure.
TIL a man rebuked him saying, silence,
It's obscenity
Cease your coarse and vulgar language
TIL YOU hear a word from ME.
once there was a little fellow with a
book with pages white
Made to gather Information through the
ear and sense Of sight,
But the things therein recorded many OF
them We're unclean
And the book became a record most I'M
worthy TO be seen.
Well, that record was my mind sir, flied
with filthy thoughts ike yours
And the flthier the thought sir, then the
longer It endures;
Thoughts degrading and debasing ever
occupied my mind
Till I learned that I was wretched, miser-
able, poor n blind.
So I cried to God for cleansing and my
evil thoughts took wing
And another vile blasphemer learned the
praise of Cod to sing.
But the record of the years, sir. figured
UP an awful cost
For the half Of all my life sir, was ire
vocably lost.
Write no record in these books sir, that
your girl might blush TO read
Little minds are fertile soil, sin and vile
words are fertile seed
And the harvest that is gathered from
such seed is never small
II our language is not decent better
never speak at all.

FIFTY YEARS APART,

They sit in the winter cleaning,
And the fire burns bright between;
One has passed seventy summers,
And the other just seventeen.
They rest in a happy silence
AS the shadows deepen fast;
one lives in a coming future,
And n In a long long past.
Each dreams Of a rush OF music;
And a question whispered low;
one Will hear 1t this evening.
one heard it long ago.
Each dreams of n loving husband
Whose brave heart is hers alone:
For one the joy is coming,
For one the joy has flown.
Each dreams of a life Of g~ladness
spent under the sunny skies;
And both the hope and the memory
Shine in the happy eyes,
Who knows which dream is the brlghtes
And who knows which is best?
The sorrow and JOY are mingled,
But only the end is rest.
