A Praying Church

A prosperous church is a
church which prays. 1t IS writ

house of prayer" We must new
er lose faith in prayer. We must
never abandon prayer. We must
never lose the spirit of prayer.
A church can get on for a con-

and can go on indefinitely with
Indifferent singing. A church
may do well with poor preach

OF any kind. But a church with

We might as well expect a man
to live without breathing as to
expect a church to live without
praying. Pray for the minister.

A Warning

A man who would not take his

borrow the copy taken by a
neighbor. In his haste the boy
ran over a hive OF bees and in ten
minutes he looked like a warty
squash. His cries reached his
father, who ran to his assistance,
failing to note a barb wire fence,
which he ran into breaking il
down, cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy, and running a
S. pair of pants. The cow took
advantage of the gap in the fence
and got into the corn. Hearing
the racket, his wife ran out, up
setting a 4.gallon churn of rich
cleam into basket of kittens
and drowned them. In her haste
she lost $17 set of teeth, The

war against the owners and op-

never get that back. That is i'm
possible. The campaign manag-
ers or executive committees, or
whaleyer they may be called, did
not lose any thing, probably by
the strike. Their salaries or tees
doubtless ran along as if nothing

Little Ironies of a Librarians Life

The so-called reading public puts an al
most pathetic faith in the omniscience of
the librarian. Incidents like this are a
woman, "the book 1 took out last month";"
What was the name?" you ask. Name?
don't remember" do you know who
wrote it?" "Oh, no. she says-in fact
they all say never notice who writes
books, or if 1 do I never remember. 9.
But" she adds helpfully, "it was about this
man, you know, and he falls in love with
him" The librarian, if she has had
any experience at all, interrupts desper
ately here. Cant you think of the name
of it?" mo, no, of course not. Butt
had "a green covert" Poor soul. you hate
to look what you feel. There are 10000
books in the library and about $4,000 of
them have been bound in green. It's a
great help. She looks at you re-
proachfully. 81 thought a library kept
account of what books people take out"
she says in an injured voice. The trained
librarian does not attempt to explain the
system.
Then there are the strange tastes of
people. You learn to know that to dis
eliminating few only may you mention the
heretical fact that this new book is COM
posed of short stories "Oh, heavens, |
never read a book of short stories!" Why?
They don't, that's all. You learn
that the sweet faced, mild looking women
want wild cave mannish fiction; the
women who seem to have seen the world
from none too pleasant angle ask sepul-
chrally for "a nice, clean book. You know,
nothing suggestive" You learn to know
that the reason the man with the face of
an insomniac can't sleep is because he

At this you exchange glances, but the less

People develop an entirely different mien
and attitude when they enter a library.
Aside from universal tendency to whisper
in ghostlike sibilance and creaking about
on tiptoe as if they were in a house of
death, and aside from their idea of being
friendly and human TO you, which is, alas,
to comment at length on the weather, they

hastily. 1t takes tact and perseverance on
the librarians part to determine whether
they are relatives and so permitted to use
one another's cards.
If a woman is asked to hunt anything up
herself her favorite plea is, :'Oh, forgot
my glasses and you know" Unfortu-
nately, the librarian does. She knows that
it is useless to argue with any woman who
says she has forgotten her glasses. Men

trouble for the librarian that she gives

</TT AVE you," asks a man when
you are alone at the desk with
books overflowing both sides, a
stack of cards to be filed awaiting your
early attention and twelve impatient book
lovers standing first on one foot and then
on the other, have you Set Down in

I'm not positive. Would you mind look
ing in the card catalogue?"
This is a perfectly legitimate question,
but instantly the customer takes a violent
dislike to, you. He suspects you of trying
to put him off. He glares at you, but you
appear oblivious to the lightning in his
eyes and finally he stalks off, as a great
concession, and pulls open every drawer
but the right one. If he is superman he
comes back and tells you that you do have
it. Then he stands there. Did you want
it?" OF course" comes the response. You
feel like an ungallant worm. Can you tell
me the number, please?" He stares at you
as though you were crazy. Number?
The name of the book is Set Down in
