NHE most eventful incident In
my railroad experience? Well,
the thing that bothers me most.

III! TdllTOdu experience. wen,
the thing that bothers me most,
even today, many years after
II occurred. was one in which | vas in
no personal danger.
l was station agent In a little town
oil the A., v. and Y. railroad. The sta
ton was at one end of a bridge across
n narrow, but deep, river. In low wa
ter 1t was rather a gorge than a stream.
One wild night when the rain had been
pouring all day | noticed that the va
ter was up TO the %stringers. | took my
lantern and went on to the bridge.
Going part way across I felt a tremor,
and. after hunting for the cause, saw
that one of the piers was weak.
Then | began to think i'm a hurry.
No train would go over that bridge
without going down. l was so terror
stricken that for some time, though l
was familiar with the time of every
train. | couldn't for my life remember
from what direction the first train
trolled myself. and it came to me that
i'm fifteen minutes one was due at the
station coming from across the river.
while from the other direction none
was due for more than two hours. The
thing for me to do was to cross the
bridge and signal the first train.
Over the ties. beneath which the wa
ter was boiling against the stringers,
l ran as rapidly as if l were on a dirt
road. As soon as | had passed of
the bridge | sped down the track so
that | might head off the train as far
as possible from the danger. | had
gone only a hundred yards from the
bridge and was tearing along like mad
when suddenly l tumbled into Il cattle
guard. l was pretty badly hurt, but
this was not what troubled me. My
lantern fell to the bottom of the exca-
walton and went out.
/ CROPPED for the lantern, but couldn't
find it. | suppose l vas too excited to
look carefully. But | gathered my
faculties and hunted on till | got it
The next question was how to relighi
it. l felt in all my pockets and at last
found n match.

water TO one dying of thirst, a crust
of bread to furnished. l doubt II
either water or bread could eve seem
as valuable TO any one as that match
seemed TO me. How vas / to strike IL

In and Out of the Children S Playroom
SEND A CIPHER MESSAGE.
How Boy Scouts and Others Can Com
municate With Each Other.

Suppose that you wanted TO send the
following message: I'VE cannot hold
out long. Send help Immediately"
First write your message. giving
plenty of space between each word,
as:
We cannot hole out long.
Send help Immediately.
Now fill up the spaces with other
words so as to form an Ineligible
message and yet only understood by
those furnished with the key. Now
we will fill up the spaces. thus:
My Dear Jack-We are surprised
you Cannot get any one to Hold the
friendly hand Out TO you for Long. l
will gladly Send my brother to Help.
Let me know Immediately. Capitals
are only used here to make it clearer.D
The key is found in the first three
words. You will notice that there are
three words between each word of the
real message.
If only two words are between each
word of the real message then YOU
would start with two words only-that
is, Dear Jack.-Scout.

Rearing the Child.

Persistence Of Sin.

A person whose ancestry Is free from
color blindness never exhibits 1t. That
is the dictum of the latest science on
the subject. We cannot dispute the as
s~ertion, for we have no information to
the contrary. We only remark, says
the New York Christian Advocate, that
it suggests a theological analogy. Why
do people show a fondness for sin?
Because they have inherited the taste!
Put into dogmatic parlance the origin
of sinful ~propensities as a detail OF
heredity is offensive to some minds.
But why is it not a rational explana-
ton of a ace wide mystery? The
newspapers tell US every morning that
man is an,inveterate sinner. He keeps
at the business Of transgression with
amazing persistency. How are we to
count for this? 1t does not pay him.
Yet he ~perseveres in it. Well, he was

grace of God can cure him Of it. I'm

"A number of things are combining
to expose the weakness and folly OF
the so called new or modern theology"
says the Presbyterian of Philadelphia.
.One of these exposures arises from
the fact that people are beginning to
see that the things which claim to be-
new are old. Some of them come from
early Christian centuries. Like the
many attempts to supplant Christ's
deity with q tawdry honor, the effort
to maintain a future probation is at
least older than the thirteenth e n
fury. The unbelief in the Scriptures
goes back to Voitaire and Tom Paine
and even as far back as the garden OF
Eden. Another cause of this change
is the failure of the new theology to
satisfy either heart or head Of man, to
give anything either for the temporal
or the eternal interests of man. The
reasoning of this modernism is not
firm, the conclusions vary widely, and
the whole camp is divided into petty
~contending schools. 1t therefore lacks
unity, organization and force"
