Contribution Of Jimmy.

Jimmy is seven and he's "smart" for
his age. Even his mother admits it.
She fears he'll be whirled up some day
in a pillar of fire or something. Others
who know Jimmy well doubt the pillar
of fire business. His father the other
day caught him smoking a cigarette
and whipped him soundly. Jimmy
cried loudly and attracted the atten-
tion of a neighbor, a man chum of the
lad, who, seeking to comfort the boy,
said: Jimmy, of course it was very
wrong of you to smoke a cigarette,
and your papa whipped you not to hurt
you but to show you how wrong it was.
Stop crying now and your hurt will
soon be over"
"I amt cryin' cause was licked"
said the child as he gazed through the
tears, "but when papa grabbed me
swallowed my cigarette, and it was the
last one I had."-Exchange

The Real Workers
SALVATION ARMY AT HOME
EVERYWHERE

Editorial in Pittsburgh, Pa, Post).
AS for the Salvation Army itself,
who can describe it? One moment it
is thought of as a modern wonder;
the next it is realized that it is found
ed on principles as old as the human
heart, and that it's strength lies in its
humble practising of the rules given
nearly 1000 years ago by the Foun.
der of Christianity. In one view we
may think of it as about the most
public institution there is, with its
daily appearance in the streets, and
in the next it is remembered that its
chief recommendation is that it goes
into the darkest and lowliest haunts
to rescue outcasts. 1t is at home ev-
Ierywhere there is need for its SER
vices; as no sorrow is beneath its
notice. neither is it awed by caIam-
ity; it took its place to perform
great work in the world war as quiet
ly as if it were going to the, relief
of a single case at home. What a
lesson it teaches of the power of un,
selfish labor and of the wisdom that
is found in humble activihesl
