Double Charity.

Little Jackie took the church collec-
ton very seriously, and every Sunday
morning he saw that his penny was
ready.
One day, just as the collection was
being taken up, Jackie noticed that a
guest in the family pew was not duly
provided.
Sliding along the seat, he whispered:
where's your penny?"
81 didn't bring one," replied the lady.
Time was short, and the matter was
urgent, but Jackie came to decision
with great promptitude.
Thrusting his penny into the lady's
hand, he whispered:
Here, take mine! It'll pay for you,
and I'll get under the seat"

Hover Sermon.

Flower sermon had it origin III st.
Catherine Cree, England. On Whit
Monday each of the congregation car
ried bunch of flowers, and a larger
bunch was laid on the pulpit cushion.
The custom has spread. but it has
somewhat changed. Now in many
churches the flower sermon is preached
on Sunday and the church is decorated
with flowers, the members of the con-
gregation also bring flowers with them
to the service. The time of holding
this service varies in different
churches, but it is usually held in the
spring or early summer when there ia
an abundance of garden flowers.

Oiled AxIes Stop Friction.

Wheels with ordinary axles actual
ly run on films of OIL When the axle
is placed under the microscope it's
surface, which to the eye is smooth,
really is covered with depressions and
bumps So, too, with the inside of the
hub of the wheel. If the wheel were
allowed to run without oil the bumps
on the axle and on the hub would rub
together and cause friction. This
would cause the axle and hub to be-
come heated and expand and stick.
