II DreDWtARDH HkuHLMANN

even his friends became aware that
this good mixer business was
backfiring to the increasingly evil
dent disadvantage of their church.
Deacon Sweetapple, asked about
it, put their plight in the words OF
another story A German woman
of his acquaintance, he said, was
taken to the hospital seriously ill.
Each day the doctor met her hus-.
bands anxious inquiry with the
assurance that she was improving.
After weeks of such favorable re-
ports the woman died Some days
later, meeting the physician, the
husband voiced these taunting
words, well, doctor, vot from did
she die--from improvements? 2"
Then, sadly turning in the direc-
tion of the church he loved, the
deacon added, That's what is
wrong here, too-dying from all
these newfangle6 improvements.
Seemingly unperturbed, Faunt-
leroy Fiddle, d. D., continued his
civic and social fiddledeedeeing un-
til he met a man named Broad
banks in one of Frank Boreham's
challenging books. Broadbanks was
a minister. too, and like himself
enjoyed wide popularity because he
said "yes" to every demand for his
time and neglected the work of his
own church.
Then one day Broadbanks met a
man in the act of drowning a dog.
Whats wrong with the dog?" he
asked. WELL" replied the owner,
''it's like this. When Gype was
pup he was fine, but now he has
got to be regular nuisance. He is
always gone. He is friends with
everybody. He follows everybody,
is no good to anybody"
That last sentence smote Broad
banks like blow in the face. He
asked to own the dog and, going
home, he said to him, "Gype, you.
and 1 will start to reform to-
gether." And he taught the dog to
follow him alone. AS for himself,
he now made his own parish his
first consideration.
Humbly, penitently, Fauntleroy
Fiddle, ID. d., read the story OF
Broadbanks second and third
time and it made him a changed
man. In evidence of this change
this framed little verse now hangs
above his desk:
81 do not ask
That men may sound my praises
Or headlines spread my name a.
| broad,
| only ask that as / voice the
message
Hearts may find God.

Better Set Limits
For 2-Year-Old
By DOROTHY v. WHIPPLE, M. d

up Newsfeatures
A child of 2 is into everything. If
you are going to live through it
until he is 3 you'd better set some
limits.
But think about it ahead of time
and plan what you are going to do.
If you don't plan, you are likely
to become a screaming shrew,
constantly dashing to your child
with yells of mol" "Stop!"
DON'T"
What are your child's needs and
what are yours?
A 2-year-old learns by doing
the more he does the more he
learns, and you really do want
him to learn. The limits you set
should direct the child to use his
boundless energy and curiosity to
find out as much as possible about
the world, and at the same time
preserve a few of your material
possessions for later years He
cannot be allowed to tear up your
books, but he can have a pile of
old magazines that he can do with
as he likes, look at, pile up, tear
freely.
If you possibly can, arrange a
place where the child is free to. do
anything he wants to do, where
you do not have to say mo" See
to it that that place is well equip
ped with interesting things to do
interesting if you are years old.
Ideally there might be both an in
door play place and well fenced
backyard or outdoor place.
Reasonable Rules
In the rest of the house, protect
what you can. Put away your pre-
cious and expensive bric-a-brac,
reduce the off-limits areas to a
reasonable number and then be
firm and consistent about play
with the spigots on the gas stove,
he cannot jump on the living room
couch, he cannot pull the books off
the shelves.
Don't try to give a 2-year-old
reasons for the restrictions At
this age you are the absolute au-
thority. 1t is mo" because you
say NO, but try to be a benevo-
lent despot, not a tyrant. You must
know why you say mo" even if
you don't try to tell your reason
to your young child.

FAUNTLEROY FIDDLE, d. ID.
"A Halo needs To slip Just A
Little To RpnAma A NnnSa0


Little To Become A Moose"
Pastor Earnest Goodwin had died
and his people assembled to choose
his successor. Two factors were
in evidence. The leader of one
opened the discussion with these
words: "Our pastor was all that
his name implied, an earnest and
a good man, but he was a bit old
fashioned. We need a different type
of minister now, a man who is up
to-date and sensitively alert to
every phase of the social and civic
life of this community. And he
must be good mixer. Therefore,
I propose the name of Fauntleroy
Fiddle, d. D."
Deacon Sweetapple, spokesman
for the other group said in dissent,
81 am thinking of farmer 1 knew
who came to town each Saturday
with two barrels on his wagon. One
contained sauerkraut and the other
cottage cheese. He peddled these
from house to house, using one
ladel for both. Before he had gone
far, there was such a mixture in
both barrels it was hard to tell one
from the other"
"And all too often" Sweetapple
continued, "these good mixer
preachers are like that. They get
the affairs of a congregation so
muddled that it takes a successor
years to unscramble the mess. 1.
therefore, propose the name of
Paul Christian. He may not be
primarily what you would call a
good mixer, but his record is one
that gives ample assurance that
under his ministry our fcongrega-
ton would go forward on solid,
conservative lines"
However, in spite of the deacon's
words, Fauntleroy Fiddle, d. D.,
was chosen. He soon proved to be
all his name implied. Like his
namesake, Little Lord Fauntleroy,
he kept himself Immediately
groomed. His manners met all the
social standards of an Emily Post.
Radiating cordiality that bordcred
on fawning he sought to ingratiate
himself with everyone everywhere.
He usually succeeded in doing so.
In his parish work, too, he be-
lied not his name Under the baton
of his leadership his people began
to fiddle" new tunes, consenting
to innovations that ranged from
parish house dances to Sunday
evening teas. This focused public
attention upon him and multiplied
his social and speaking engage
ments until he was seldom at
home. And it was not long until
