''WHO THREW BOTTLE?"
Topeka Pedestrian Wanted to Know
1t Fell From His Pocket

Someone had violated the bone dry
law by bringing a pint of whisky to
town and a Topeka carpenter was vio-
lating it again by carrying the pint in
his hip pocket. But that didn't worry
him. He was hurrying south on Kan
sas avenue on the shady side of the
street this morning about the time peo-
pie were going to work.
Something went wrong with his
pocket just in front of the Oxford res
taurant and the bottle fell to the side
walk, spraying broken glass and whis-
ky in every direction. The carpenter
stopped instantly.

manded.

a bystander asked of the policeman.

Nobody. 1t dropped out of that

The Day for Mans Best Self.

eES0 IN the Pray
er Meeting Topic of the Young Peo-
pies Standardization Endeavor,
etc.-for April Is, THE Lords Day
the Best Day" Neh. 13:15-22.
Sunday should be a special day. The
difference between the frs. day of the
week and the other six ought to be
clearly manifested. Fill Sunday with
new interests. Reading and conversa-
ton and apparel and meals and con-
duct in the home should all bear the
impress of this particular day. BY
every available means endeavor to give
q Sabbath character to the day that
has been set apart for the honor of
God and the highest welfare of man.
20 day of rest and gladness
o day of joy and light
balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful. most bright;
on Thee the high and lowly,
Thru ages Joined in tune,
Sing Holy. Holy, Holy,
To the great God Tribune.
ION Thee at the creation
The light first had its birth:
On Thee, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth;
ON Thee our Lord, victorious,
The Spirit sent from heavens;
And thus Thee, most glorious
triple light was given"
Sunday will not be the day of the
Lord unless He be permitted to be
Lord of the day.
And he said unto them, What man
shall there be among you, that shall
have one sheep, and if it fall into a
pit on the Sabbath Gay, will he not lay
hold on it, and lift it out? How much
then is a man better than a sheep ?
Wherefore it is lawful to do good on
the Sabbath day"
There are many people who think
that Sunday is a sponge with which
to wipe out the sins of the week.
Henry Ward Beecher.
Worship is one of Gods chief pur-
poses in the Sabbath. No Sabbath is
complete and profitable that is not for
alteration and supplication and COM
munion. Going to church is not alone
enough to make Sabbath profitable;
vout worship from the individual
| heart.
! Fifty-two Sundays every year-that
is one-seventh of every ones life!
Surely the question of the best way to
| spend all this time is one of great
importance to each one of us-Chris-
ton Endeavor World.
! There is no profit in the Sabbath
that is not a holy Sabbath Above
all else, this is a hallowed day, sci
/ aside for sacred purposes, and it's end
| is not achieved unless it is observed
as such. The only Sabbath that is
! freighted with blessings is the Saba til
that is kept holy to the Lord.
A profitable Sabbath is one that we
have helped make profitable for some
one else.
! One great hymn or poem committed
to memory each Sunday could store
the mind with priceless treasures and
tinge all of ones thinking.
Mindful of the merciful mission OF
the Lords day. it is wise to seek tc
visit at least one sick or bereaved per.
son every Sabbath.
A serious mistake often made is t.
| substitute a lot of little man-madt
regulations for the Lords large Law
concerning the Sabbath. That wa:
