Pencil Tips From The Methodist
Church.

As many as three mothers have
spoken to me concerning baptism
for their children. Because OF
these requests, | shall speak on
the nature and object of infant
baptism on next Sunday morning.
| wish that all of these parents
would be present as we desire that
they may gain the information
needed at this time. Baptism is
not a means or condition for saliva
ton. We baptize persons because
they are in harmony with God not
as a means Of reconciliation. All
children are in the Kingdom Of
Heaven according to Christ 5
statement and what is more fit
ting than that they should be dedi-
Gated to the Master by this sacra-
ment.
We wish to state that the Pri-
mary department Of the Sunday
school is held in the place where
this work has been done for the
past three years. The other depart
ments meet at the Presbyterian
church.
Children under the fourth grade
in school will meet in the old par
sonage.
The theme for Sunday morning
Is: what Does Christian MUIR
lure included" There will not
be any evening service as the pas
tOr goes to Cottonwood for Sun
lay evening service. We invite
and strangers to meet and |
Worship with us Sunday morning
It eleven o'clock. There will be
tut three more Sundays for this
conference year. The third Sun
lay Of this month viii be given to
he administration of baptism, the
ourth Sunday to the administra-
ion Of the Sacrament of our
ord Supper, and the first Sun
ay in September will be the close

TELLING 1T IN CONFIDENCE
Enjoinino Secrecy Is Good Way to Re.
Vive Tagging Attention, but Some
times II Is Dangerous.

When you are talking to a man and
when his interest In what you are say.
ing begins to lag. a good way to re.
suscitate him is to lean forward and
say: What am going TO tell you Ia
In the strictest confidence. You must
not breathe a word of It," Ordinarily
one who has that said to him will
wake up and pay attention to your
conversational least for while.
What you have really done when you
say that to a man Is this: You have
prevented him from going to sleep on
your hands, you have stirred his curl
osity, you have advertised!
AS scheme for stimulating interest
in your line of talk 1t is all right. But
II what you then proceed to tell him
Is something that you really want to
have kept secret the plan Is n poor
one. If you have Information that you
don't want people to spread around
keep 1t to yourself. says "Sid" In the
American Magazine.
The trouble with human being who
hears thing in confidence Is often
this-he can't remember that he heard
it in confidence. He remembers the
item Of news providing 1t is juicy
enough. but the fact that he heard It
In confidence is little like handing
Il man jewel in an envelope and
ut the same time warning him to take
as good care Of the envelope rs he
takes of the jewel. Everything goes
all right for while. But by and by
the envelope wears out. 1t is a fimSy
sort of thing anyway. And so there
comes time when the envelope hav-
ing grown thin and weak and frayed
at the edges, slips off or is cast off,
and nothing remains but the jewel.
How did l acquire all this wisdom
on the subject Of confidential commu-
nications? l will tell you. l acquired
1t recently In the school of experience.
About three months ago | told some
thing In strict confidence to a friend
"a man of the highest character, one
who would not iniure me intention
ally for the world. But-and this Is
what gave me jar--he went and lost
the green envelope. for yesterday he
called at my office. carefully closed the
door, drew his chair near to mine and
In low voice told me in "strctest
confidence" exactly the same thing
that told him!

Worm Turns on Practical Joker

Its long lane that has no turning"
and "He who laughs last laughs best"
are time-honored axioms, but never
the less true, as Al Baumgart, South
st. Paul commission man, Is willing
to admit. Some time ago AL sought to
initiate new employee, but the
sworn turned" and the real joke was
on him, says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press
He sent the youth about half mile
down the yards after "cow anchor"
The youth when he returned with
15O-pound sack of iron, was given
cha, ha !"
In the office was a box Of flowers
which Mr.. Baumgart had ordered for
a dear friend. His victim carefully re-
moved the flowers and filled the box
with paper. Unmindful of the change,
Mr.. Baumgart carried the box to her
home. What she said when she opened
it Is not known.
To make matters worse, Mr.. Baum
CART was obliged to carry the COW
anchor back to the scalehouse. Now
he's through with practical jokes.

THOUGHT 1T IRREGULAR TALK
Little kindergarten Attendant Is Very
Much Surprised When Told That
She Can Speak English.

Proof positive that eac., one of US
is for himself the center of the uni.
verse, that what "our folks" do Is the
proper thing, and all else mere eccen-
tricity, Is seldom lacking, but 1t comes
out most engagingly in childhood.
"She can speak French most beau
tifully" concluded Elsie's big sister
Sara. after having described at length
to the family at the supper table the
charms and accomplishments Of a new
friend, girl who had lived several
years abroad and had come recently
to Sara's school.
81 know girl" put in Elsie at this
point, with an air Of importance, "and
she used to live in England. She's in
my kindergarten. and she can speak
English, guess.
"Well. what of that?", demanded
Sara. $50 can you speak English"
mo, can't; don't know how
Why, of course I can't speak English"
Elsie appealed from the laughing faces
now toward her, "can l, mother?"
,"Certainly you can speak English,
child; it's what we all speak; we're
speaking it now"
what? Is 1t English we're talking
right this minute? Is 1t truly,
mOther?"
"Of course, my dear! What Ian
g,age did you suppose 1t was that we
talkY"
'Nhy, mother, l didn't suppose 1t
was English, or any other language.
I thought 1t was just regular talk. Of
course"

Moving Men.

Moving men have large hands re-
plete with hairs and very menacing
manners. If yon.see gang Of disOr-
derby desperadoes approaching your
neighbours house do not suppose that
it is a group Of escaped felons. Your
neighbors are going to move. In their
boyhood and youth moving men were
vandals and defaced public buildings.
After serving several Jail terms they
took up the moving trade, where they
could smash and ruin undisturbed by
the police. If you plan to move 1t Is
we'll to stay at home and keep stern
eye on the movers. When they are
hasty or careless reprOve them. Say
to one Of them, "My good man." and
he will respect you. 1t is customary
for moving men to refresh themselves
immoderately between trips so that
they will be prepared to let the piano
crash down the front steps.-Detroit
