HAD MADE ITS ACQUAINTANCE
Old Jed Knew Whereof He Spoke
When He Warned Converts Of
What Awaited Them.

He was one of the perpetual con-
verts to religion that are so common
in some country districts. Whenever
minister wished to hold revival
meeting in his church he was always
certain of obtaining one reliable con-
vert, old Jed, who'd "got religion" so
often his friends had lost count of the
times. His custom was to be convert
ed" at every convenient revival meeting
in proper season, and slide backward
every summer in order to have his sys-
tenn thoroughly prepared for the next
season of revivals.
Not long ago the pastor Of coun-
try church near Jed's home was bap-
thing in the river number OF con-
verts, among them Jed, who was the
first to be led into the water.
AS Jed was dragged bodily up from
the river after the ceremony he was
seen to be almost in state Of collapse,
and was taken to the bank with some
difficulty, where he reclined Imply as
the minister prepared to lead the next
convert into the river. However,
great light dawned on the audience
gathered on shore as to what had hap
pened to Jed, when he raised up on one
elbow just as the minister reached the
waters edge with the second subject for
baptism, and shouted out, ENORMOUSLY
"Hey, parson, look out! There's

4cloryp Of Old Sailing Days.

Looking forward to revival OF
American shipping under new condi-
lions, one can cheerfully enough accept
the opinion Of veteran seaman, talk
ing to a young reporter, that the
"glory" of the old sailing days is much
overrated. The billowing canvas was
impressive; but the facts Of the case,
confides this mariner, are that the
sailors had to live In quarters that
were badly ventilated, If ventilated at
all, badly lighted and cramped' almost
beyond endurance. A steady diet OF
bareback and. salt horse" mitigated
the glory Of the sea, while chanteys,
although they helped things along,
were often compulsory, and little JOY
to the sailor man who was singing to
Christian Science Monitor.
