Not Serious Error

A preacher and a lawyer who were
travelling together fell to discussing
mistakes In speaking.
"What do you do" asked the preach
er, "if you have a slip Of the tongue
and say something you didn't intend to
sayr
That depends" replied the lawyer.
"If 1t is a serious mistake I go back
and correct 1t; If only slight mistake
I pass on and do not notice 1t. What
do you do?"
II follow the same rule" responded
the preacher. "For instance, last Sum-
day in the course Of my sermon I In
tended to say that the devil was the
father Of liars but by a slip of the
tongue I said that the devil was the
father Of lawyers"
"What did you do" asked the law
yer.
ut was such a slight mistake that
I went on without noticing It."

"Quit-Rents" In Britain
SurvivaIs of OId Days

The number Of properties in Eng
land and Scotland still held for quit
rents" Is as surprising as the charac-
ter Of some Of the rents themselves.
From the duke Of Wellington the king
receives each year a small silken ban
ner on the anniversary of the battle
Of Waterloo. This banner, a French
Tricolor, is rent for Strathheldsaye,
the estate voted the dukes great an
cestor by parliament. The duke Of
Marlborough holds his estate by pres
entation to the king Of another tiny
silken banner on the anniversary of
the battle Of Blenheim, which his ia.
nous forebear won.
The Scottish duke Of Atholl must
furnish the king Of Great Britain with
a white rose in respect Of his estate,
Blair Atholl, on the occasion Of every
royal visit thereto, and the marquis
OF Aylesbury is similarly bound to
present his sovereign with an ivory
cup whenever the latter goes hunting

Recalling the Delights
of Community Singing

Music, after all, Is the finest sort Of
sport, Of personal recreation. Looking
back to the days of a century ago,
when art was closer to the people,
perhaps, than 1t is now, we find that
music belonged to everybody, not as
a mark of social or intellectual su-
periority, but as a common heritage
Of beauty.
Families grouped themselves into
small orchestras or ensemble units.
Mendelssohn got his first taste Of mu-
sic directing the orchestra that was
formed by his family members and
their friends who met in his fathers
house. Communities took their pleas
ure by singing In societies. People
went visiting for an evenings fun
with their flutes or their fddles under
their arms In green baize bags.
Those people of the Eighteenth GEN.
fury were happier for their music and
have handed on to us an enviable
tradition of musical participation.
That is the sort Of thing we need to
recultivate today If music is to oc-
cupy the place 1t merits in our per-
sonal lives and our national develop
ment.-Harold Bauer in the Etude.

Evolution of the Quill.

The history of quilts is involved in
a tradition of long centuries of slow
but certain progress; in fact, the orig
in of all domestic arts is shrouded in
mystery. No positive reference to
patchwork or quilting is found in west.
ern Europe prior to the time Of the
Crusades, but from the Eleventh CEN
fury these arts become more and more
conspicuous in the needlecraft of near.
ly every country in western Europe.
Noticeable progress was made in the
design Of quilts during the Middle
ages in Spain. Some of the finest spe.
clmens of quilts of this period have
been preserved In Persia.

Purebred animals are horses, cattle,
sheep, or other domesticated animals
whose ancestry are known, whose par
ents and grandparents have been reg
istered in the proper way in the breed
records. The word thoroughbred is
the name Of distinct breed of light
horses which have been bred for many
centuries for their speed and stamina,
having come originally from the union
Of the Arabian, and Turkish horses
with the English type Of horse. There
cannot therefore be any such thing as
thoroughbred cattle.

dramatization of a marvelously in
teresting, as well as a vital concept
of the cause of worldwide chaos and
business depression"
Guy Thorne wrote a marvellous book
more than quarter Of century ago,
entitled when 1t Was Dark" Though
years have passed, it is claimed, the
quintessence of the famous writer's
story seems to be more applicable to
world conditions today than the date
of his story. Milton T. Middleton has
made dramatization of this story
and created scenes and action that
have never been presented on the
American stage.
the world must know that we cannot
go on without Christianity" The stage
presentation offers no biblical charac-
ters or scenes, rather-it depicts a big
melodrama, tense and thrilling, of
gigantic conspiracy csncocted by
multi i-millionaire atheist, who aims to
destroy the foundation of Christianity.
A young English Curate in proving the
deception leads on through a maze of
thrilling scenes.
The play holds to no particular sect
or creed, but AYERS that a unaninity
OF religious understanding is necessary

Gottler Of the Dillingham; staff and
Milton T. Middleton hope to secure the
cooperation Of Christian laymen who
concur in this opinion in producing
this play.
