TODAY'S BEST STORY
In BILLY'S SERMON

A friend of mine sat one day In
his beautiful parlor. He heard
laughter IN the hall, opened the
door ard looked out, and his little
four-year-old boy had gone upstairs
and dressed up in his fathers
clothes. The trousers were away
down to the floor, but he had rolled
them up, and the coat hung down
foot behind; his sleeves hid his
hands, and he had his hat on. It
fell down over his head and rested
on his shoulders; and his fathers
collar looked like horse collar
around a midget, and his fathers
vest touched the floor, and he said:
"That is the most solemn picture
! have ever seen. Take him to the
photographer and have his picture
taken just as he is. That tells me
he wants to be like me-"
SO they took his photo, and when
he left home the last thing he put
in his grip was the picture, and the
first thing he took out when he
would get to the hotel was the pie.
ture. He would put it on the dress
er and look at it. 1t was the last
thing he said goodnight to, and the
first thing that he said good morn
ing to. And every time he looked
at it it seemed to say:
"Go on, daddy; but be careful
where you are going, because ! am
following you. ] want to be like
you."

TEACH YOUTH MORALS
ON KNEES OF MOTHER

Anarchy Is not born In Hay Mar
ket riots of Chicago, right off the
reei-no, sir! Whether a boy will
respect laws 1t determined by
whether he will obey at home or
not. We've got 100000 farmers
In this country who are being
taught through the papers how to
raise hcps-how to put few more
pounds, on his avoirdupois, and an
other kink In his tall. And we've
got one institution that has a de-
partment for the American boy
how to raise him. One college that's
got department for the American
boy! My friends, the question of
obedience Is settled in the home,
and If they will not obey their faith
ers or mothers they won't obey the
social or moral or civil power.
One of the danger signs of our
time is the curse of idle mothers
who just board around. They new
er darn sock, they never patch
pair of pants, they never hemstitch
a handkerchief or put any insertion
what do you call those? They
just kind of drag themselves down
to their meals and If they ever 60
out it is to some entertainment, to
some opera, to some fashionable
dress-maker or miIIiner; and If
they die and you keep it out of the
papers, nobody will miss them-ex-
cept their husbands when they oct
the r1iIIiner's bill.
We are negIecting the home life
today for the club, for the Iodoe
for the literary, for society and
thousand and one things, sir. Fit
yourself to be the intellectual COM
Panion of your children. The learn.
ing at the school and college will
soon fade from their minds, but
what they learn at your knees will
stick after they have to hobbIe on
the crutches of decrepitude, takinu
their teeth out and cleaning them
at the sink.

If he had said, Jesus Christ is
on the square and if you pull out one
hair you will have to walk over my
body to do it, he would have been
blessed forever.
Benedict Arnold had his chance. o,
the miserable traitor, sold his coun-
try, and you speak his name with
scorn. He had his chance to stand
with Washington and Nathaniel
Greene, and with Anthony Wayne.
No, sir, he wouldn't do it. He had
his chance, missed it missed it!
20 wretched man, with a with

In a house where Jesus taught,

kind,
For down in my heart, I thought
What useless life was his indeed,
Then my own came in review.
And I fell on my face, for, o,

Are they nerved to strike down

Are they eager to lift the fallen

Some loving service do,
Look well, look well, look well,
For your hand may be withered

He found this fellow with with
cred hand. He found him in the syn.
agogue, not in the saloon, not the
house of ill-fame. He found him in
the synagogue, in church.

you talking about? We haven't any
thing"
And somebody said, "Well there is
little boy here with some loaves
and fishes"
Sardines and biscuits, or sinkers,
as we might, call them. And SO they
sent for this little boy and they
brought him to Jesus and he said,
Sonny, have you any sardines and
biscuits with you? The Lord wants
them
The boy said, "All right"
So they all sat down, and then he
took the food and blessed them and
L can see doubling Thomas, as he
took little sardine by the tail and a
biscuit and he started to break it off.
A fellow said, "Ah, Thomas, don't
be so stingy, l am hungry"
He said, 81 have been told to give
you that, but you've got to show me,
I'm from Missouri, l can't figure that
out, how we can make this go around" ;"
He kept on breaking off and it did
not diminish. They fed the great
, throng and they gathered up twelve
baskets full. In the hands of Jesus
it became a banquet for a. multitude.
Let God Bless
Your Work.
So, give God your ability; let him
put his blessing on it. He will feed
the hungry world, and the world is
hungry. God took David's sling and
multiplied it and he killed the Philis-
tine. God Almighty can take you
and put his blessing on you and with
you he will confound the wicked and
bless the world. Just give him a
chance. Give him what you've got.
That is what the little boy did. And
therefore,

that have swiftly drifted by,
| Alas! the good we might have
done, all gone without sigh;
| Love that we might once have
saved by single kindly word,

Oh! take the lesson to thy soul,

lows the tap of the conductors baton;
then sounded a long, quivering note
from the first violnB.
But all this Kate Denny neither saw
nor heard. Behisd the two men who
had talked of Bronolfsky she sat tense
and mOtionless, her eyes staring
straight ahead, her ears hearing only
the words that had Just been spoken:
"All his life he's been controlled, not
in control. All his life he's done an
others will, not his own. BronOtfsky
isis just what you see, a first-rate
second fiddle"
SO that was all she was or could
ever hope to be-a second fiddle.
Suddenly, now, Kate Denny became
conscious of the music from the plat
form. 1t had dropped to pianissmo,
yet clearly, sweetly, the melody still
ran through it like a silver thread.
Fainter and yet more faint it grew,
until only an airy, swaying cobweb Of
sound floated from the leaders baton.
There was a moments breathless
hush then deafenins applause, In her
seat Kate Denny relaxed suddenly.
With the strains of that perfect music

She had argued along the same lines
before. But tonight, especially, still
under the sway of those marvelously
blended harmonies, she could see moth
ing but well-deserved failure for any
second fiddle who attempted to assert
his own individuality.
One by one the days came and went
To Edith and her mother they seemed
not unlike many other days long
passed To Kate Denny they were
hardly dissimilar, except, perhaps, fol-
the growing frequency of John Kennl
sons visits. Not that she herself saw
so much of him, but that she knew he
was there and that his presence began
to mean so much to her that she was
frightened.
Very conscientiously these days Kate
Denny was leaving to Edith the crsl

sive attentions of John Kennison-
both of which Edith claimed as hel

and as such its concerts were entbu-
siastically welcomed. Tonight, how
ever, there was no animation, no joy
In Kate Denny's face as she dressed
herself; nor did even the anticipatOry
rustic and hum of the concert room
itself bring an answering flash or spar
kle as she waited for the first number
on the programme.
This was her mood when a chance
conversation between two men in front
Of her aroused mild sort of interest.
"Who is that long-haired, dreamy
eyed creature caressing his fiddle as if
1t were the dear child of his heart p
asked one man of the other.
Almost unconsciously Kate Denny
turned her head to catch the reply
She, too, had often idly wondered
about that particular dreamy-eyed vic.
linist.
"That? Oh, that's Bronoffsky."
"Queer-looking chap! Good player?
"Hm-m-well, yes, he is. Still-he's
only second fiddle up there, you
know. He plays second violin" There
was a moments pause, then, half mus
ingly, the voice went on: "DO you
know, it's rather funny about that fel.
low, Bronoffsky. He is possessed and
consumed by one mad ambition; he
wants to lead, direct,-be conductor
you know"
"Well, why doesn't hep
"Bronoffsky lead! Jove, man, he
couldn't! Bronoffsky's a dreamer, not
doer. He can play, sure-second
fiddle. But he hasn't the audience
sense; he doesn't know how to handle
men. He doesn't know how to holt

he's been controlled, not In conts oil

There was burst Of applause-tht

later came the electric hush that fol
