the sermon delivered by the Rev.
Harry j. Harkiss, new pastor OF the
Second Presbyterian church, succeed
ing the Rev. F. E. Davis. at the morn
ing service Sunday.
In part the Rev. Harkiss said: Re
ligion has not progressed with the
times. This Is due to the fact that
everything but business methods have
been used in church affairs. 1t takes
the whole man. both physical and
mental, to carry on the work of the
gospel That God is with the church
is seen by the way the church has
prospered in spite of the unbusiness-
like methods used in most cases.
Comparing the cooperation of the
pastor and the congregation to the
relationships of a company formed
for business enterprises. the Rev.
Harlliss continued: There are three
duties | want to call your attention
TO. First, the duty of the pulpit; sec
Ond, the duty of the congregation: and
third, the duty of the pulpit and con-

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: When in an
ice cream parlor with a gentleman
friend, should he order for both him
self and the girl or should she order
her own? JANE.
He should ask her what she wants
and then he should order for both.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a girl
Of 16 and am working and earning
good wages. My father makes me
give him all but two dollars a week.
Even when my pay was raised it was
just the same.
There are seven younger children
and there will be another soon. We
own our home, but father will never
fix up the place and so it is all run
down.
Father is mean to us and when he
is home he always has a strap handy
to use when the children don't please
him. He has even hit me several
times lately. Mother is peculiar, she
lets father have his own way about
everything and seems to think he is
all right
l feel as if I can't stand it, I have
clothes to go to work in, but nothing
nice for best. Father doesn't want
me to go anywhere. He goes out with
other women. l know this for l have
seen him. l have told mother, but
she either does not believe it or is so
meek that she worships him anyway.
1t makes me angry because feel that

spend it like that. He also makes my

The thing that puzzles me most is
my complex nature. l am trying des-

as love and marriage? I wish l knew.

these wild feelings to anyone.

The circus men showed Billy to
the crowd at the circus that after
noon, as they had decided, and he
got more encores and whistles and
clapping of hands than anything
else that was shown that after
noon, more even than the ponies.
Before they brought him in, the
ring master came In and said:
Now ladies and gentlemen, l am
about to introduce to you the old
est and most wonderful astrologer
now living. He will read to you.
from a mystic book, the fate of the
world and whether 1t is to be de-
stroyed by fire or water"
When he had finished speaking,
four men drew a platform In, on
which Billy was seated in his chair
at the table. But the strangest part
of it all was, that when everything
was still and the crowd were all
watching him. he commenced to
read and turn the pages of the
book, and he spoke so plainly that

Dream. Poor little Peanut. 1t was
blow to her-the cunning thing!
In they marched this morning,
Little Peanut had on a high stiff
collar and big new green and pur.
pie tie. He carried his head some
high.
Pipe Dream had his bells on too.
He wore new suit-at least l
guess it was new. None of us girls
had ever seen it before
We all snickered when they
came into the room.
But there was no Claribel. No
one had seen her since Friday
night.
The two suitors bore up under
the blow all right during the morn
ing. In the afternoon they surely
had downcast looks, especially Pea
nut. Pipe-Dream always looks more
or less downcast anyway.
Then, later in the afternoon, we
saw special delivery boy coming
up the walk. The bell rang in a
few minutes.
Out in the hall we found it-a
note pinned up on the bulletin
board. Here it is as nearly as
can remember:
Dear Chums:
I'm awlully sorry to leave you
so suddenly, but | am not movie
actress at all. Instead ! am only
a writer for big magazine. My
job this fall is to go to different
cities and attend high schoo! in
each one for a while. Later, I'll
write a story about it. GoOdby, and
love to you all.
Claribel Worthington.
"Well, of all the nerve" 1t took
our breath.
We girls are going to have nice
party next Saturday night and in
vite Peanut and Pipe-Dream. Joe
Lyons makes me tired. Peanut is a
dear. He is so cute.
Dot tells me that you have no
idea how interesting Pipe-Dream
really Is when you get to know him.

everyone could understand and
hear. This surely was wonderful,
and the children could not make up
their minds whether it was a man
with goats horns, for his long
horns stuck out through two holes
on either side of his cap, or goat
with a mans voice; and when the
ring master told the children that
the professor had just dropped
from the sign of the Zodiac called
Capricorn, which is represented In
all the almanacs by goat, they
thought he must be telling the
truth. He did not tell them that
hidden under the platform was a
man who did the talking, and when
the leaves of the book turned, that
he was pulling a string which made
them turn over, but everyone
thought the goat was doing it him
SELF
After the performance was over,
all the children as they passed fed
Billy peanuts, candy, popcorn and
apples as he stood by the elephant.
Billy behaved like lamb for

days and went through all his per.
formances without hitch-in fact
he had become the pet of the cir
Gus, and allowed to roam about at
will and was never tied not even
at night. So this night after he
had settled down and go to bed,
Billy, feeling wakeful, thought he
would move around little and take
a peep into the other tents. First
he stuck his nose into little tent
where they sold popcorn, peanuts,
lemonade, etc., during the perfor-
mances.
Now is my chance" thought
Billy, ito eat all the popcorn l
want, for / never have gotten
enough to satisfy me at any one
time, but how can get it out Of
that glass case. 1t looks so easy
to get at and smells so good, must
have some, even if l have to break
the glass to get at it,"
He stood licking the glass for
little while; then his greed getting
the better of him, he backed off
and gave the glass a quick hard
knock with his horns. 1t broke and
flew in all directions and let the
popcorn roll out in perfect
stream. Billy stopped to listen a
minute to see If the noise of the
breaking glass had brought anyone
to see what was the matter, and
when no one came, he commenced
to eat the sailed and buttered corn,
and he ate until for once in his life
he could say he had had enough.
