Cleaning Paint.

To clean paint that is not vanished,
take flannel and squeeze nearly dry
out of warm water, and dip in little
whitening. Apply to the paint, and
with little rubbing it will instantly
remove grease. smoke, or other
stains. Wash with warm water, and
rub with small cloth. 1t will not in
jure the most delicate color; makes it
look like new; and last much longer
than if cleaned in the ordinary way
with soap and wafer.

mon custom of the kings of Siam, who
had so many queens" that it was al
most impossible to keep count of them
all. AS matter of fact, they met
some of them only once-at the mar

the rule of the Siamese dynasty for
the reigning monarch to spend most
of his spare time looking for fresh
wives, and, no matter how many
brides he might choose. there is al

AIibis for Umpires

Umpire Tom Connolly has two
alibis. One Is that managers
and players, not umpires, are to
blame for games being long
drawn out, which probably Is
correct. His other alibi is that
umpires find it hard to follow
the ball when overflow crowds
are on the field and thus can't
do good work calling balls and
strikes-with which players at
least may agree when they fail
to hit the ball.

SET TOGETHER MEETING
OF THE ANTI-KANTS

The annual Get Together" meeting
of the Anti-Kants and Ever Readys of
the Methodist Sunday School was held
at the church Friday night, December
End. The meeting was opened by a
song by the Ever Readys, followed by
one by the Anti-Kants, and a third
song by both classes. Next was a
screen production by a popular mem
Der of the Anti-KaDtts, Miss Nellie
OBlige, (which was very much en-.
joyed by all. A copy of our old home
paper was next read with some very
.innteresting news concerning both
classes.
A novel way of choosing partners
for the guessing of the silhouette pic,
lures, and for supper was the guess
ing of the shadow pictures Of mem.
bers of the EVerReadys. After the
partners were chosen each couple was
given pencil and paper on which
to write the names of the portraits
.of the two classes which were distri.
buted about the room. Mr.. ]. J. Mil,
Ter and Mrs. Flossie Howery were the
most successful, having guessed more
than any other couple. After this was
over they were all invited to the
League room, where plates were laid
for all, A luncheon supper was serv.
ed, consisting of chicken loaf, Gran.
berry sauce, celery, banana salad,
olives, bread and butter, and tea and
coffee.
The room was beautifully decorated
in class colors of green and wwhite
The speakers Of the evening were Mr..
E. c. Willard and Mrs. NJ. B. Van
Ness, each representing their respec-
tive classes. Response was made by
Rev. Weldon. The evenings enter.
tainment was closed by singing of the
song, God Be With You Until Your
Return" ;" sung to the tune of "Till
We Meet Again. The words we're re-
composed by one of the Anti-Kants to
suit the occasion. In departing all ex-
pressed themselves as having enjoyed

LOT Goa t00k INN"
How startling is this INVASION Of
lite'S order! We cannot understand
II. We have no precedents in our lit
tie world to help us. Nothing but
funeral bells tolling mournful process
sions, slowly vending their way to
the appointed place, and Il precious
mound left in Gods acre as me-
mortal to those who have lived, and
l0Ved--and gone.
But it was just as miraculous In
the days when En0ch lived as now,
for we read this sOrrOwful story Of
mans day-"He liyed"-"He begat
sons and daughters"-"He died"
This is the story, until We are star
tied with an interruption. Here Is a
new eptaph, "Enoch walked with God,
and was not, for God took him." He
did not see death. Instead of the de-
scent into the grave, he went the
ascent unto God. What reward |!
Not to see death, that last dread en-
emy. Such was EnOch's experience.
What for? Read the simple line that
records his exploits-"he walked with
God" Well, what is there in that TO
earn distinction? Just this. Enoch
dared to 90 the unusual-tO walk with
God Wien lie whole world was walk
ing from God That was heroic
venture; To le different from all the
rest meant courage '.,y faith Enoch
walked with God
The whole content of our Inquiry
centers in tie phrase walked with
God" What does that mean? 1t Is q
very simple act to walk with one an
other, but to walk with God-that is
different
1t meant companiOnship with God,
EnOch went where God went, never
the opposite. God chose the path and
Enoch followed,
A farmer deacon of mine had
yoke Of twin oxen, exactly alike-al-
ways together--inSeparable, but he
told me one always stepped off first
led the way. God always leads. There
can be no walk except We follow Him
To walk with God meant to talk
with Him. This we call COMMUNION
Talk and walk always go together
But it is a peculiar kind Of talk
strangely personal-sweetly contiden'
tial Why2 Because of the alone
ness; others are shut out Many
home of love and happiness began In
a walk. The walk belongs to lovers
Who can love and not talk about it
God waits and longs to have us tell
Him that we love him.
To walk with God meant to talk
about God. Jude says, "Enoct
prophesied" which means "he talked
about" This is the inevitable Of 6
walk-to talk about the one you have
walked with, for discoveries are made
condolences are given, mysteries are
explained. But, oh, think Of the &C
cumulating wealth treasured up In 9
walk with God. And it is so natural
to talk about God if we walk with
Hin.
Now read the simple circumstance
of Enochs walk: He begat sons and
daughters" In the midst of the daily
routine of bread winning-the prob
lens of bringing up the children-tht
delicate relations with friends ant
neighbors-" "Enoch walked with Cod
So can we. The same old trail can bt
pressed by our feet, and the same
beautiful walk and communion may
