for two. So I'm looking for a parlor

Mrs. G. Reen hid her envy under a
smiling face.
How strange" she gushed back.
Il think l know the very girl for you.
And l can recommend her personally,
because she is leaving us next week"
Mrs. lyle darted a suspicious look
at her friend.
"But-er-why are you-er-getting
rid of her?' she demanded.
Mrs. G. Reen smiled coolly.
"Oh, she's given me notice, dear"
she said, with well-assured frank
ness. "You see, she complains that
there is too much silver to clean at
our house. So know she'll Just suit
you~ ...

Friends Quarterly.

Oskaloosa Quarterly Meeting of
Friends was held aa the Friends
church Saturday and as this was the
last meeting before the session of the
Yearly Meeting which begins Mon
day, August 26, it was of consider
able importance. Rev. Henry Ed.
win McGrew, the president-elect of
Penn college, preached most help
full sermon in the morning and the
general business meeting. was held in
the afternoon.
During this session the reports from
the monthly meetings indicated con-
siderable gain in both membership
and in the matter of contributions to
the various causes. Mrs Emma
Johnson Rosenberger was changed
from the pastorate at Wright to that
of Abba and this was the only ex-
change made among ministers. The
territory covered by the meeting in
cludes Oskaloosa, Grinnell, Wright,
Bloomfield New Sharon and Abba.
The Presiding Clerk was Joseph
Sopher of Grinnell and the Record
ing Clerk was Mrs Anna NJ Farr of
Oskaloosa. Quite a large represen-
tation from the various charges
were present and the business inter-
ests of these churches were put in
proper shape for the Yearly meeting.
The results of the year as a whole
were highly encouraging to all who
were present.

THE LISTENER.

Every man who does not know any"
thing, and most men who do know
something, love to talk about what
they think they know, or do know.
The close-mouthed merchant, the
yea, yea, nay, nay" sort OF fellow,
who uses his mind more than his
mouth, will, if encouraged, talk for
hours upon any subject in which he
is intensely interested. His head is
storehouse of information, and, al
though it may have more entrances
than exits, he will open himself to
anyone who knows how to knock at
the door of his mind.
have friend who, although not
literally educated, possesses more
general information to the square inch
than SO per cent of educators have to
the square foot, and that is one hun
dred and forty-four to one. He OBJ
tanned this knowledge largely because
he was good listener and possessed
the ability to make others talk. If
he were riding on a train he would
select from among the passengers the
man who he thought was intelligent
and carried with him heavy stock
Of information. In q diplomatic way
he would discover the strangers bust
mess or profession and the subject in
which he was the most interested.
He would turn the conversation in
that direction, asking an intelligent
question here and there, and showing
deep interest in the subject. He sell
dom failed to obtain the desired re-
suit. He met all classes of people,
from the classical student to the keep
Ter of meat market, and from each
he drew supply of information, much
of which, naturally, was valueless. He
had sense enough, however, to realize
that he could not expect to receive
valuable information alone; that he
must be content with chaff as well
as with wheat; but from each he drew
something worth while. The worth
while he remembered; the worthless
he forgot.
; Conversation is, believe, the best
medium for the obtaining of informa-
ton. Everybody has something of his
own Of which he is proud, and which
he is willing to distribute.
Bear in mind, however, that the
listener is only half man. He must
give, if he would receive. He, there.
fore, is not only good listener, but
good distributor. He exchanges
what he knows for what others know,
plays a game of mutual winning, Civ.
ing what he can afford to spare, and
taking from others what they are will.
ing to distribute.
Social as well as business life is
based upon exchange.
Education does not consist of receiv.
ing and of not distributing.
II you give freely to others, they
will as freely give to you.
Conversation, rightly turned, leads
to profit, and is that kind of work
which is both recreation and business.
While you should give the prefer.
ence to the acquiring of information
which is directly in your line, do not
contine your mental receipts to that
alone. Familiarity with general af.
fairs, even though many of them may
not be of direct benefit to you, broad
ends the mind and makes you better
able to use that part of the informa.
ton received which is part and par.
eel of your livelihood-making.
Don't be afraid of knowing too
much.
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1918-08-08

In spite of the excessive heat of
Sunday, quite a large audience at
tended in the early evening the union
service on the west side of the pub
lie square. II was the turn of the
Central NJ. e. church to take charge
Of the service, but Dr. l.. NJ. Grigsby
was unable to be present and General
Secretary G, r. d. Kramer Jr., Of the
Oskaloosa Y. NJ. c. A. consented to
speak in place of DIR. Grigsby.
Carol H Feezer led in the singing
and a part of the NJ. Z. C-"day
school orchestra with Carl Woodford
as leader, contributed the instrumental
part of the program in an acceptable
manner. The Scripture lesson and
the opening prayer were led by Rev.
Clarence Pickett of the Friends
church and Secretary Kramer gave a
comprehensive and gratifying talk on
the great and all inclusive work the
Y. NJ. c. A. is doing, not only during
the present conflict, but also outlined
to some extent their plans for work
in the building up process, after the
war Is over, a. al ;.
Back of the Y. NJ. c. A. is the great
working force of the Christian church
as whole, all engaged in the practi-
cal labor that makes men and devel-
ops character among the boys of the
army and navy. Their work is seen
everywhere and from the time the
boys leave home on the troop trains,
the men Of the Y. M. c. A. go with
them to the camp and finally to the
battle front.
Mr.. Kramer referred to his trip re-
Gently to Camp Grant, in Illinois. and
to Lake Geneva where hundreds of
our best and most devoted business
men are now in. training for this
work. Forty men from this district
are wanted and in this service there
is great chance for helpful activity in
reaching and saving men for noble
and useful lives.
