Watchful Waiting

For while there was a good deal of
criticism of watchful waiting, which had
become term of ridicule. But you hear
nobody now speak of it except in terms
of respect. The peaceful methods of the
new world stand out in striking contrast
to the methods of the old world. 1t is
not because our President doubts the
patriotism of the people of this coun-
try He knows that lives in abundance
would be at the country's call if
needed.

EXPECTATION.

A young preacher was recently called
upon to officiate at funeral in the
absence of the pastor of the church. He
knew it was customary for the minister
to announce after the sermon that those
who wished should step up to view the
remains, but he thought this was too
hackneyed phrase so he solemnly said:
"Tbe congregation will now pass

A thousand times the child Archer

hear the man play. and it was Fay

fingers to bring melody from the
strings, and filled him with the deter
mination to be a musician, but not
a musician handicapped like Fayette.
His childish heart had resolved that if
drink spoiled ones playing he would
never touch drink, and never once did
taste the wine of his grandfather's
table, and when other boys pressed
cigarettes upon him he always shook
his head, saying: 1T would spoil my
