.PALISADE MINISTER
MAKING A HIT BY HIS
TALKS TO CHILDREN

Rev. II. p. Guhse delivered one of his
most fOrceful sermons at the PaliSade
Church last Sunday morning before Il
large congregation, numbering to the
rise of 60. His subject was God Is
Love-" an old, old theme, but he dress
ed it in new thought ideals and made
satisfactory half hour pass all too
quickly by his lucid handling of his
theme. A feature of Mr.. Guhse's Sun
day morning service is his little talks
to the children. Just following the dis
missal of the Sunday School the chill
dren all gather in the main auditOri-
UNI to hear the talk the young minis
ter has prepared for them. Last Sun
day he talked on the value of the little
connecting wire between the captain of
a great ship and the engineer and told
how one day at the wonderful locks at
Saulte Ste. Marie, the canal that CON
meets Lake Superior with Lake Huron,
ship all laden with heavy grain was
approaching the locks where there
We're four other ships awaiting their
turn to go through the locks. The cap
tain gave the signal to the engineer to
stop, but pretty soon there was great
crash that resounded through that
whole section. The big ship was no.
ticed coming into the locks with head
steam on, and, never stopping an in
slant, soon went pellmell into the 9th
er ships, and there was wreckage
costing millions of dollars. The engi-
neer had failed to get the captains sig
nal hence the accident Little people
should be always on the watch for the
signal of their conscience that they
may know their proper direction. They
should keep the little signal within
them all taught and ready. then they
will be in no danger of falling into
wrong ways and having unhappy
events in their lives. These children S
talks have made hit with the grown
ups also, and this last one was about
as good as the regular sermon. OF the
latter last Sunday it might be called a
classic

pened but for prompt and hard work.
Last Sunday noon the brush just back
of the Logan and Quigley homes was
set on fire in some mysterious fashion,
and a high wind blowing at the time
made it look dangerous until Messrs.
Lake and Logan waded in and with
branch and broom had the fire subdued
after half an hours work. While these
two fires were being fought out a SINH
lar fire broke out near the Giles home,
all three in the same block Mr. Giles
extinguished the flames after an an.
noying battle.
At first it was thought that the mis-
ecrant who dropped these matches in
broad daylight was known, but not
quite-he got away, so that the actual
job was not seen. Yet a strong suspi-
cion has been aroused.

Engineering Pays.

Basing conclusions upon the income
tax returns, the best-paying profession
In the United States is that Of engi-
neering. 1t excels even that of law,
which long held the record, and is far
ahead of those of theology and medi-
cine. The reason for this is not diff
cult to find. This is constructive age,
even though the war would seem to
contradict such an assertion. After
the war, when reconstruction generally
sets in, the engineers bid fair to be-
come a class Of lutocrats.-Christian

tries for the last three years in the
manufacture of pencils have reached a
stage a: which the industry should be
made over to private enterprise,
says an exchange. Arrangements for
the sale OF the pencils produced by
the factory were completed in August,
1917, and the profit and loss state
ment prepared by tile auditors for the
period from September l. 1917, to
March 3, 1918. shows that in these
seven months the factory made a
profit of $1994, which represents a
return of little over 20 per cent on
an assumed capital of S16220. Dur
ing the same period the factory pro-
duced 1899 gross of pencils and sold
$3.50 gross. The factory has DELHI
erately been run on as small a scale
as was consistent with the purpose in
yiew--namely, the demonstration on
commercial lines of the prospect Of
the industry. The factory produces
black lead pencils lacquered in vari-
Gus colors, copying pencils, carpen-
ters' pencils and diary pencils. Ex-
periments with red and blue pencils
are under way.
