The First Gas Tubaa,

William Murdoch, Scottish mining
engineer, appears to have been the first
to suggest that gas might be conveyed
In tubes and used instead Of lamps
and candles He made a very ingen-
ious gas lantern for himself, with
which he used to light his way over
the Cornish moors Mt night. This lam
tern consisted Of bag filed with gas
and Cited with n tube. at the end of
which the gns could be lighted. Carry
ing the bng under his arm, Murdoch
used to light his way home Mt night.
On meeting any one he would give the
bag squeeze and thus send out long
tongue of fame. This led to his being
looked upon as the demon Of the Cor
nish moors.

CHURCH WORK
IN SUMMER

Father and Mother took it SER
iously. Even with the thermomet-
er at 100 the customary pews wer
filled. Grandma was there, too,
with great palm leaf fan, which
she swung back and forth sleepily
with sluggish but regular rhythm.
Mother snapped jerky little black
fan. Japanese fans were consider
ed ungodly, as the red and yellow
pictures took the eyes off the min
lister,
1t was not thought proper to
suspend or vary the sessions of
Sunday School. The momentum of
regular attendance would be lost.
Besides, the young folks might 60
to walk, which would be demoraliz-
ing.
1t is easy in these flippant days
to laugh at the intense older gen
Grafton. There was iron in the
blood then. Even if it did make
ones backbone as stiff as the old
high pews, there was foundation
on which institutions were built to
last.
Today the majority of people on
Sunday are eating the dust of the
next automobile ahead, roasting
the ball park, consuming peanuts
and corn balls at pleasure resorts,
If that is the best use they can
make of it, let them do thus with
clear conscientous, and may the
Lord be with them.
Still it isn't always day of rest.
1t is much cooler in the shady
chur ch than out on the sun baked
road. The we'll trained choir may
sound just as we'll rs the squeaky
merry go around. The minister
may say quite as new things as the
barker or the palmist.
For those cooped in towns, no
Sunday is good that does not bring
Gods fresh air and sunshine.
Happily trolleys AMI parks provide
this for millit ms.
To find listners, in the Babel OF
summer Sunday, the minister
must speak the language of those
who hear. A problem from meta,
physics may interest him. But
Tom Dick and Harry will go to
sleep. He may talk the language
of the street. But he must talk
about the problems of the street,
the shop, the office and the kitchen.
