PLENTY FROM TIME BEFORE
Old Parishioner Found Way to Cling
to His Original Position About
Miracle.

One Sunday morning a certain
young pastor In his first charge an
nounced nervously:
Il will take for my text the words.
And they fed five men with Ave thou
sand loaves OF bread and two thou
sand fishes."
At this misquotation an old par
ishioner from his seat In the amen
corner said audibly:
That's no miracle could do II
myself"
The young preacher said nothing at
the time. but the next Sunday he an
nounced the same text again. This
time he got 1t right:
And they fed five thousand men on
Ave loaves of bread and two fishes" "
He waited a moment and then, lean.
ing over the pulpit and looking at the
amen corner, he said:
And could you do that. too. Mr..
SMITH"
"Of course I could" Mr.. Smith re.
piled.
"And how could you do it," said
the preacher.

Sunday" said NJ smIth.-Advance.

Its dark enough. now" said the
young officer who was my host.
We'll go out with the patrol"
BY day the slightest movement Of
the enemy is easily and instantly de-
tected; the light keeps the combatants
to the warrens which protect them
from shell and bullet fire. At night
there is no telling what mischief the
enemy may be up to. At night you
must depend upon the ear rather than
the eye for watching. Then the hu-
man soldier fox comes out of his war
rem and sneaks forth on the lookout
for prey. At night both sides are on
the prowl.
Trained owls would be the most

more useful than aeroplanes in To-
eating the enemy's gun positions. A
properly reliable owl would come
back and say a German patrol was
out in the wheat field at such a point

patrol with a machine gun"
