OF Little Value Then.

Two old cronies sat smoking in the
library of a club. One was turning
the last pages Of novel. He finished
the book and put it aside.
'Good story?" inquired his friend.
'Fine," replied the other, reaching
for fresh cigar.
He lit up. smoked rehectively for
while, and then said: Eyes, that was
a pretty good book. I like these sto-
ries where the hero makes a million in
the last chapter"
He is still young, old-timer. When
we reach the last chapter million

To put your fingers into the glass to
fish out the slice Of lemon or orange
is sometimes temptation but usu-
ally results disastrously. If you have
spoon with your beverage it is per
Missile to take out berries that can
be eaten gracefully, but the orange
and lemon sections had better be left
untouched. It is extremely awkward
to take pieces of ice in your mouth,
nor should you scrape the sugar from
the bottom Of the glass by means Of

No Danger.

Old-fashioned Uncle Bill, just back
from a long sojourn in Australia,
called his little nephew to him on the
morning Of the Fourth. With fond
recollection Of his own prankish
youth, he handed the boy dollar,
patted him on the head, and told him
to enjoy the day, but not get hurt.
He was somewhat surprised by the
lads response.
"Hurt? Me get hurt? Gee whiz,
Uncle Bill, have enlisted with the
Boy Scouts to render first aid. - Louis

XKTHEN Mr.. Peacock came to the

disappointed. He did not like at all

One day he decided that the reason
the barnyard folk did not seem to adj

|, HICKORY, n. c.. June 2--The gem
eral Synod of the Reformed CHURCH
in the United States adjourned here
Wednesday afternoon. after being in
session one week. -.
One of the, outstanding actions OF
general synod was the approval of a
new Book of Worship. which is to
be Immediately published for, .tenta
tive use. The synod constituted per
manent commission on Liturgics who
will study the great subject OF pub
lie worship, report from time to time
to the general synod of their findings,
and also be Il clearing house of in
formation on the subject of, church
worship for all persons who may
want special information from time
to time. This new liturgy:is regard-
ed as great advance IN many, ways.
and especially in the matter OF be ing
more in harmony with the modern
temper and the social point of view.

ly love.
Synod Peaceful
This general synod was a particu-
larly peaceful one, although. Of
course, decidedly different tendencies
asserted themselves. There is a great
division in nearly all the Protestant
churches OF America, between those
who are conservative in doctrine on
the one hand and those who are
progressive and perhaps radical on
the other. This divergence is very
evident in the Reformed Church, anu
was decidedly manifest on the floor
of the general synod. yet it did not
come to a decisive issue on any
point. The churches in the vicinity
of Chicago and Milwaukee and in
the. Dakotas are the most emphat-
ically conservative.
The Reformed Church looks to
Zwingli as it's founder, who simul-
taneously and Independently Of
Luther. 400 years ago began TO preach
the principles of the reformation
The vpluminous works OF this great
Swiss patriot and reformer are being
translated and published under the
direction of the various branches Of
