A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post writes: Il venture to
speak in your columns Of remedy for
sleeplessness which | have found use
full, after vainly trying the various
methods that are so often resorted to
in the hope of coaxing sleep, such as
fixing the attention upon single sub
ject or upon any one object in the
room, counting, imagining a waving
field, or the heaving sea, etc. 1t is not
easy to describe what is mainly a neg
alive process, but, roughly speaking,
try what l call to unthink | shut
out, as 1t were, any image or thought
that obtrudes upon the Darkness of
the mind, and keep before me only
the consciousness that all is blank and
dark. In my case this expedient works
well, and perhaps it may also benefit
others. Whether it has the merit of
objective originality do not know"

Rribino the Idols.

From ]. L. Keller comes an inter-
esting account of the missionary hos
pital work at Changli, in the province
of Chilli, North China, in its ninth
year. One case mentioned is that of a
young magistrate who was recently
brought in a chair to the hospital with
a badly swollen face. The left half of
the lower jawbone had been destroyed
by an abscess and his whole system
poisoned. His arms and legs were
dropsical, and for three months his
only relief from pain had been afford
ed by opium. After consulting native
doctors in vain, he had burned incense
and made offerings at various temples
and shrines. To one idol he vainly Of
fered as inducement to cure him the
erection of a tablet extolling his heal
ing powers. At another temple he
hired theatrical company to perform
religious acts. At last he went to
Ch'angli, where cure was affected.
Thoroughly convinced of the useless
ness of idols and priests, he turned
away from paganism and joined the
church.-Christian Herald.

PLAN FOR BEAUTIFYIMo PARIS
ROoreation opoundS and Two Inn
msnSe Parks Are Contemplated
In Scheme Put Forward.

The project Of the Seine, M. Delan-
ney. has drafted large and fascinat-
ing scheme for developing and beauti-
flying Paris. Baron Haussmann's IA
nous renovation would be almost put
in the shade. The boundaries of Paris
would be extended SO as to iaclude all
the suburbs which lie round the forth
fications, and create Greater Paris"
six times larger than the present city.
The inner fortifications-the haunt of
low characters, who terrify the dwell
er in the suburbs on his way home at
night-which have long been disman-
tied. would be completely removed.
The feverish building that would GER
tainly follow would be carefully regu-
lated. There would be great num-
Der Of new open spaces. No city
needs them more Memories Of thel
Bots and the openness Of the Champs
Elysee are apt to deceive English Wis
itors In this respect. Paris Is inhab-
tied by 148 persons to the acre: Lon
don by only "a. Such things as theI
garden squares Of London are I'M
known in Paris. The largest open
space within Paris proper is thel
cemetery Of Pere Lachaise. which Isl
not exactly gay. Markets, barracks.
and hospitals would all be removed to
the outskirts. and their sites used as
open spaces. The land containing
the inner ring Of forts would become
almost entirely recreation ground, and
two immense new parks would be Gre
ated north and south of Paris.

SCOTTISH SENSE OF HUMoR'
British Prime Minister Tells Good
Story Credited to the Late Henry
Campbell-Bannerman.

Mr.. Asquith, while unwilling mon.
ument to his political predecessor
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, in,
Stirling the other day noted that
There is still an ignorant supersti-
ton upon the other side of the Dor
der about the existence, or, at any
rate, about the limitation of what is
called Scottish humor (Laughter)
"Of that superstition, if and SO far
as it still survives, Campbell-Banner-
man was in his day the best standing
refutation, for not only was his humor
undeniable, but when he was most hui
morous he was most Scotsman. III
the sense of humor consists, as some
people think it does, in vivid per
ception of incongruities, few men of
our time have been so we'll endowed
with it.
"Your chairman (Sir John Graham)
told me last night little story which
/ will steal from him and which, II
think, is a very good illustration OF
what mean. Sir John told me that
on the occasion of one of Sir Henry's
elections here he was met in the street
by a voter who said to him: Sir
Henry, I like you very much. but l
would rather vote for the devil Sir
Henry at once replied without turning
hair: AS your friend is not can
didate, you might just as well vote
for me-"

St. Paul,s Appearance.

All that we know of Paul's personal
appearance, from his own writings, is
found in II. Corinthians 1910, which
indicates that he did not possess the
advantage of a distinguished or inn
posing presence. His sight weak (see
Acts 1885, and Galatians 4:15) nor
did he regard his address as impress

1t was our pleasure to attend one
of the good County Conventions
of the year held in Plains on Mon
day and Tuesday of this week.
There was not a large attendance as
one might wish to see but the pro-
gram was carried out in commend
able manner and all delegates went
home delighted with all that they
had attended. Special mention was
made by the State Worker of the re-
port made by our County Secretary,
Mrs, Curl. 1t was almost COM
plete report of all that was said and
done at the State Convention. One
wonders how that so much could be
heard by one person.
Not withstanding the rain and
storm of last Sunday there was a
good attendance at Sunday School
and Church in both services of the
day. We always think that one
counts for several on such days and
we do appreciate the .faithfulness of
our people. We have loyal mem

bership.


The thought was brought out al
the County Convention of a union
Teachers Training Class. We are
in hopes that we can have such a
class in Meade that all the churches
unite and organize such a class and
have spirit of unity that will do
away with all the unpleasant things
of Denomlnational Spirit. Who
will join us in such a movement?
Most movements that are started
originate in some ones mind and the
newspaper is the means of getting
the thought to others. We hope
that all who read this will express
themselves in their own church and
that in the near future we will see a
great class.
We wish to announce to our Eco.
pie that on next Sunday morning the
Memorial service will be held in our
church and that we are anxious that
our people turn out to the last mem
Der and do honor to these who gave
their service to our country. Bro.

find welcome. You are invited to

Sunday School convention at Plains.
Owing to the rainy weather the
meeting was not so we'll attended as
in previous years. 1t was, however,
in many respects the best conven-
ton this writer has attended in Kan
sas. The representatives from this
church we're l.. F. Schumacher and
the pastor.
This is a good time to cali atten-
ton to the B. Y. P. U. and Sunday
School Convention in Kansas City,
Mo-, on the 9th of July. Thous-
ands of Baptists will come together
from all parts of the United States
and Canada. 1t will be a great
meeting. There ought to be half
a dozen go from the Meade Baptist
church. Put this on the program,
when planning your summer vaca-
ton. 1t may be many years before
this convention will come so close
again. The Southwest Kansas Bap-
fist Sunday School convention has
elected our superintendent as del
egate to this gathering.
Now is a good time to take up
again our teacher-tIaining work
which was temporarily dropped dur
ing our meeting. A new book
which is better adapted to our pres
ent needs has been ordered.
A suggestion was made at the
convention favoring the organiza-
ton of union training class. Some
times this may work very well.
There are other times, when it is
better for church to GO ahead with
its own work in its own way. Ger
tainly all will concede that this is
true, if there is a reason for separate
churches. The fact that the sep
arate churches exist testifies that
many people believe they ought to
be. 1t is our firm conviction that a
church, or an individual is entirely
within his right, when he chooses
his own course. if he does not in
fringe upon the rights of others.
Baptists are pioneers in the advoc-
acy of the freedom of choice. 1t
can not be unkind to others to go
ahead and do our own work in our
own way.
There will be no preaching SER
vices either morning or evening.
The Sunday School and c. E. will
be dismissed in ample time for all
to get to the union services.

ed to an invitation to preach to a
